[Gluster-devel] spliting tests/bugs?

[Emmanuel Dreyfus]

Hello

There are around 300 regression tests, 250 being in tests/bugs. Running
partial set of tests/bugs is not easy because this is a flat directory
with almost all tests inside. 

IMO it would be valuable to make partial test/bugs easier: this would 
let me run what works for NetBSD, but Linux regression tests would 
also benefit itn since it would allow the use of mulitple build 
hosts for a single commit, each running a subset of the tests for 
a quicker result.

Hence I suggest we split tests/bugs into subdirectories. For instance
using the git file creeation time, we could have:
tests/bugs/2012Q1 => 1 entries
tests/bugs/2012Q3 => 6 entries
tests/bugs/2012Q4 => 54 entries
tests/bugs/2013Q1 => 50 entries
tests/bugs/2013Q2 => 34 entries
tests/bugs/2013Q3 => 15 entries
tests/bugs/2013Q4 => 22 entries
tests/bugs/2014Q1 => 18 entries
tests/bugs/2014Q2 => 30 entries
tests/bugs/2014Q3 => 16 entries
tests/bugs/2014Q4 => 15 entries

Any opinion?
