[postgis-devel] Raster Regressing

[Paul Ramsey]

I've got 6 failures in the raster online regressions (jeepers, is a
backend crash), which I guess is what things were like before... and
last time my response was just to stop testing raster for six months,
which is probably not what you want people to do. Can we either get
the tests to pass on all platforms or replace them with tests that do?
Because faced with "should be right but are failing" tests, people
just stop trusting the tests at all, or stop running them.

I'm also quite non-fond of the offline raster tests, which are noisy
and not at all clear on what's good and what's not. Is cunit not
appropriate for them?
