spectest_regression runs official, not pugs tests (Score:1)
more accurately put, the spectest_regression target runs a subset of the official perl 6 test suite, which is stored in the pugs repository. those tests known to be passing are in the spectest_regression target, so the rakudo implementors can make sure their changes have not broken any existing code.
the official perl 6 test suite lives under http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/t/spec/ [pugscode.org]. the pugs repository is a good fit for the official test suite because of the liberal commit policy there. anybody can get a commit bit, and add tests.
a conversion of existing pugs tests, which live under http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/t/ [pugscode.org], is underway, but the tuit supply is low. this is a great place for folks to help *all* the perl 6 implementations by migrating tests from pugs to the official test suite.
if anyone is interested in helping, please mail perl6-language@perl.org, or poke me, moritz, or auzon in #perl6 on irc.freenode.net.
