Hi,


Remind me later on this list after your branch, and ill see what i can do.

Comparing earlier results, the amount of code lines 'hit' by the
tests/checks seems to have increased a lot, so I guess that is a good
thing.

But if you really want comparisons to have any siginificant meaning, I
guess some serious time needs to be invested in :

1.) improving and expanding the tests.
2.) running the lcov/gcov code coverage at regular intervals.

When posting on this list, I just get the impresssion that there just
isnt enough interest at this point to realize that right now. So I
guess that right now generating the reports is primailry for my
personal educational value, which is just fine by me; im learning as I
go.
