Hi David,<br>
<br>
This is to help us deal with buildbot. The main issue I had<br>
is that some tests would set restrictive permissions, and for<br>
whatever reason, fail. Afterwards, we were left with a<br>
directory that buildbot could not remove. On the next build,<br>
the bot would be stuck because it needs to clobber this<br>
directory in order to get a fresh darcs.</blockquote><div><br>Not trying to pick on buildbot here, but this sounds like either a design flaw or an oversight in buildbot. Naively, it seems as though you would always want to test in a fresh clean directory.<br>
<br>Maybe it's time to make a feature request. I've CC'd Zooko on this.<br><br>Jason<br></div></div><br></div>
