I was thinking of adding some kind of "self.knownoutcome" flag to pactest, and have that basically suppress the return code incrementing if it was set to "fail" or something. (or just self.knownfailure=true.) Does that make sense to anyone? The problem is right now we have no way of distinguishing from fails like fileconflict 001 & 002 (which we know will fail from now until they are fixed) from fails that pop up after a patch has been applied. The second ones are the regressions and the ones we really care about; the first are not quite as important in a normal run of pactest.
I agree, a way to distinguish them would be very helpful.
