[yt-dev] A plea for failing tests

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Brian,

In IRC, you identified that you were having problems with the star
particle spectrum generator, the absorption spectrum generator, and
that a bunch of the rest of the code was "broken to users."  We've
been trying to balance bringing 2.x stuff to 3.0 and doing more
development in 3.0, but it's a delicate balance. As I indicated in an
email to yt-dev a few minutes ago, we're trying to aid in the
conversion of 2.x analysis modules to 3.0 with more tests of the code.
Anything you can contribute on this front would be very much
appreciated!

-Matt
