</span>1. I've wanted to just install (without building) piglit a couple of<br>
times within the past year. In these cases, I just wanted to run<br>
shader_runner on a single shader_test.<br>
<br>
2. apt-get build-dep piglit will install the build dependencies for<br>
building piglit from master.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'll admit that I find this second one useful. Fedora has piglit packaged and, while piglit packages are kind of uesless, yum-builddep on piglit isn't. It's a pitty they don't do it as a deps-only package. In general, I've got to agree with Matt that I don't see a point in doing releases for a test suite.<br></div><div>--Jason <br></div></div><br></div></div>
