I only push maint, master and next if they pass all tests. If something doesn't pass I rewind the branch until it does (of course I only rewind back to what I've previously published). I do however push a broken pu. Because individual topics in there may be valid, but one or two may also be broken. The pu branch is meant to be a place to obtain a specific topic of interest from so you can work further on it, or test it. Like tonight. pu compiles but doesn't pass the tests. So if you are seeing one or more tests fail please go run that specific test(s) with "-i -v" and either come up with a fix for the test, or at least post the output of that to the mailing list so someone else can have a chance to resolve the problem. Since everything passes here for me on Linux/x86_64 I'm guessing its a platform specific issue. We still should fix it. -- Shawn.
