Why not? Isn't it true that whenever someone builds Emacs from source, it's possible that they are using a configuration (GCC version, configure flags, etc.) that hasn't been tested extensively, and it would make sense for them to run Emacs' self-tests before they waste their time installing an unstable Emacs? This seems to apply especially to the pretest tarballs, but also to the regular distribution to some extent.Christian Ohler<address@hidden> writes:Is there a deep reason why Emacs currently has test/ as a separate top-level directory?Because the test files are not to be distributed with the tarball.
