--- Comment #4 from Tomasz Kłoczko <kloczko.tomasz at gmail.com> ---
So why do not add some files to dist tar ball to allow post package build fire WebKit test suite to confirm that at least some basic WebKit  functionalities are OK?

Please really understand that executing such test suites is very important from point of view maintaining whole OS distributions where WebKit  is only one component of something way bigger.

In my own packages repo I have:

[tkloczko at barrel SPECS]$ ls -1 *spec| wc -l; grep ^%check * | wc -l
2306
2227

As you see more than 96% of my packages already are using included test suites and using then during regular packages builds in last two years I was able so far to find few hundreds of issues before actual start using generated packages during normal packages maintenance.

Please really understand that making dist tar ball ready to provide proper platform to fire WebKit test suite may only improve quality of the code which you are maintaining.

Regards and I hope you would understand how important it is :)
