Hi list:

I'm the packager of APLpy: http://aplpy.github.com/

I'm going to update it to a new version, which comes with a set of 
tests, but I'm not sure about what to do with them. I asked upstream and 
the answer is:

"The tests are there for us to diagnose any issues related to specific
dependency versions and platforms, and to make sure that we don't
break anything when making changes. It would be useful if you include
them so that we can ask users to run them if they are having issues we
can't reproduce, but you don't need to run the tests as part of the
build/setup."

I'm still not sure. Should I include them in the package?

Have a nice day,
Germán.
