[PATCH] use <arpa/inet.h> instead of <netinet/in.h> for ntohl/htonl -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [PATCH] use <arpa/inet.h> instead of <netinet/in.h> for ntohl/htonl From: Jed Davis <jdev@panix.com> This fixes the Mac OS X build problem; hopefully it won't break any other OSes, especially since SUSv3 says arpa/inet is the right header.

A simple testing framework

To run the tests, do:

cd tests/
./run-tests

This finds all scripts in the test directory named test-* and executes
them. The scripts can be either shell scripts or Python. Each test is
run in a temporary directory that is removed when the test is complete.

A test-<x> succeeds if the script returns success and its output
matches test-<x>.out. If the new output doesn't match, it is stored in
test-<x>.err.

There are some tricky points here that you should be aware of when
writing tests:

- hg commit and hg up -m want user interaction

  for commit use -t "text"
  for hg up -m, set HGMERGE to something noninteractive (like true or merge)

- changeset hashes will change based on user and date which make
  things like hg history output change

  use commit -t "test" -u test -d "0 0"

- diff will show the current time

  use hg diff | sed "s/\(\(---\|+++\).*\)\t.*/\1/" to strip dates

- set -x and pipelines don't generate stable output

  turn off set -x or break pipelines into pieces
