Hi,
I can't say I'm terribly overjoyed with having the /tests directory in /ntoskrnl. Would it be possible instead to have a /tests root (on the new SVN server) where all the tests would go? like /tests/ntoskrnl, /tests/kmregtests etc...
I think it would make it a bit clearer...it just bugs me to have /tests in ntoskrnl.
I'm personally quite happy with having tests as near as possible to the respective component. Wine does that for years and it works very well...

How is /tests/ntoskrnl not near? You have to remember that not everyone wants to download the tests simply for building the core kernel, or even wait for them to be compiled. Part of the new directory structure that we are working on is exactly to ease down the bandwidth for developers or users who only want the kernel. They shouldn't be bothered with an obligatory test sub-directory (ie, this is also the reason Steven removed apps/tests). The advantage of the SVN tree will be that the /tests directory will have its own repository but still be included of a master repository/makefile for those who wish to have it all.
