Description Craig Dowell 2008-06-17 22:07:03 UTC

Somewhen along the line, the regression tests that use traces from the www.nsnam.org/releases directory stopped working.  Wscript gives python error (urllib not imported), transfers bits but uses wrong names.

Its completely busted now.

just missing import; should be fixed now.

Comment 2 Craig Dowell 2008-06-18 15:40:48 UTC

The import urllib was a minor detail.  There were larger issues about getting the names correct when pulling traces from the web.

It's all sorted out now, so I'll just leave it closed.  

Now, the VERSION file is used to drive all of the building of tarballs (including traces) and it is used when downloading from the web and from mercurial.  You will now see ns-3-dev-ref-traces in your regression directory when you're working with mercurial and ns-3-dev.  You will now see ns-3.1-RC1-ref-traces when you're working with released versions in either mercurial or web.

Web regressions now actually work.

It _did_ work correctly for me after adding the missing import.  And without a way to reproduce the problem, I had to close the bug.
