Well, Marc and I had reorganized the regression tests a couple of
years ago, and most of the organizational changes since then have been
done by us too (Marc handling the platform-specific stuff, and I the
tests themselves). But new test areas have been added by others, and
we certainly could use more contributions to existing tests,
reorganizing them if that seems advisable.
I agree with your suggestion to put rtree testing in geometry.sql, at
least until the size of the new tests would suggest separating it into
a new "rtree.sql" test.
Go ahead and do something. We'll apply it to the tree, and if there is
something which provokes someone else into modifying it, we'll do it
then. But I'm sure whatever you do will be fine, since you have
clearly already given some thought to it.
Thanks...
