For a released +version this is not desired. Therefore any known warnings should be solved or +explicitly silenced before making the release branch, then when the branch is +made, the default behavior should be switched to not raise errors. This is +done in the constructor of the NoseTester class in numpy/testing/nosetester.py, +by replacing ``raise_warnings="develop"`` with ``raise_warnings="release"``. + Make sure current trunk builds a package correctly -------------------------------------------------- :: |
