I think https://github.com/ethereum/tests/issues/436 is a blocker. If we move the process back to cpp-ethereum repository now, whenever tests are updated, a new PR (like this) would appear in cpp-ethereum, for testing the test cases.

I guess we will have to move it back or support the testeth in cpp. Because cpp tests via RPC are too slow and wont run in travis build in time untill we optimize cpp client to do be able to do that

We have testeth copy in cpp-ethereum which we use to run the tests now. Given that test format is not supposed to change much we can continue to use it even in retesteth era, right?

[winsvega]

I guess yes. but there will be some changes. And it wont be capable of generating new tests.

[gumb0]

Not generating the tests is fine. Changes to the test format are not fine, but we can decide later what's easier - supporting the changes or making RPC test calls faster

[winsvega]

The blockchain test format stays.
