Current Trajectory
==================
-Now that we've finished the 0.26 release, we're working on 0.27, and
+Now that we've finished the 0.28 release, we're working on 0.29, and
although we're not certain which new features will be included, here
-are some possible candidates:
+are likely candidates:
- Support for transferring saves between repositories and rewriting
branches.
+and these are also under consideration:
+
- Better VFS performance for large repositories (i.e. fuse, ls,
web...).
- Incremental indexing via inotify.
- - Support for rm/gc.
-
- Smarter (and quieter) handling of cross-filesystem metadata.
+ - Support for more general purpose push/pull of branches, saves, and
+ tags between repositories. (See the bup-get patch series.)
+
If you have the time and inclination, please help review patches
posted to the list, or post your own. (See "ways to help" below.)
We also love a good "Tested-by:" -- the more the merrier.
+Testing
+=======
+
+You can run the test suite much more quickly via "make -j test" (as
+compared to "make test"), at the expense of slightly more confusing
+output (interleaved parallel test output), and inaccurate intermediate
+success/failure counts, but the final counts displayed should be
+correct.
+
+Individual non-Python tests can be run via "./wvtest run t/TEST" and
+if you'd like to see all of the test output, you can omit the wvtest
+run wrapper: "t/TEST"
+
+Individual Python tests can be run via "./wvtest run ./wvtest.py
+lib/bup/t/TEST", and as above, you can see all the output by omitting
+the wvtest run wrapper like this: "./wvtest.py lib/bup/t/TEST"
+

Submitting patches
==================
As mentioned, all patches should be posted to the mailing list for
review, and must be "signed off" by the author before official
inclusion (see ./SIGNED-OFF-BY). You can create a "signed off" set of
-patches in ./pending, ready for submission to the list, like this:
