Whats the difference between the cons and cons-test packages?
Beginning with version 2.1.2, Cons has been delivered in two packages, each available in .tgz, .rpm, or .deb formats. These packages, “cons” and “cons-test”, are available on the Cons web page(s). The “cons” package contains the Cons script itself and its documentation. The “cons-test” package contains the full set of regression tests used in Cons development, some supporting Perl modules, and a wrapper script for executing the tests. It is recommended for users who want to run the tests to verify that Cons performs correctly on their system, or who plan to modify or extend Cons and want to make sure their modification doesn’t break any existing Cons features.
