Ironruby core - Nov 2007 - DLR test suite

Hey,

I was talking with Seo on #mono about his efforts to test IR and IP on Mono.

For now, we rely only on tests provided for IP and IR. I was thinking,
you guys must have a dedicated DLR test suite? If so, it would really
be nice to open it as well. Not only to help making us IP and IR first
class citizens on Mono, but also for folks building stuff on the top
of the DLR already.

Yes - we do have a big set of tests for DLR. Let me spin up a thread with the
test team next week (those who are around ... :) and we''ll look at how
much work it is to drop DLR tests with IronRuby.

FWIW, the plan has always been to spin up a separate DLR project on some
repository somewhere. But of course the plan turns into one of ''ship
DLR with Ruby, with Python, and by itself''. Which means the DLR sources
get duplicated in 3 places and will be out of sync based on when those sources
get pushed. Suggestions on how to deal with this would be welcome.

Thanks,
