The tests should be usable as regression tests for that. But, as a nice side-effect, they'll do some X-Server testing, too. Because if you (ideally) test all aspects of the protocol, you'll also get quite a good test-coverage for the X-server. So you definitely got your intuition right about that. It is not yet clear how far we'll get though with that test suite. <blockquote cite="mid:87wpbjrg9q.fsf@eliezer.anholt.net" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> If they are regression tests, xcb/demo does seem like a funny place for them. Maybe a new xcb/tests forked from demo?</pre> </blockquote> Yes, we could do that mid term. Forking from demo seems to be a good idea. (and then cleaning up to leave only the regression tests) Short term I suggest to use xcb/demo and see how far we'll get. BTW, who has the right to create new repos such as xcb/test? And how long does it usually take to get attention from them? (or do I have the rights and I am just not aware of it?) I know that I have commit rights to at least xcb/proto and xcb/libxcb. But I guess this does not include the right to create new repos...
