+To run unit tests after building packages:
+------------------------------------------
+
+ 1. cd usr/src/tools/tests
+ 2.  Follow the README and run the slim_unit tests
+ 3.  If there is new unit tests failures, those must be fixed before putback.
+
+To check for pep8 slim_code_cleanliness:
+----------------------------------------
+
+ 1. Install the Python setup tools:
+                pkg install library/python-2/setuptools-26
+ 
+ 2. Install the pep8 3rd tool:
+
+                easy_install pep8
+                (The warning messages during installation may be ignored)
+
+ 3.  And the python setup tools will find it, download, and install it for you as /usr/bin/pep8
+
+ 4.  You can check for pep8 cleanliness mimicking the command that hudson use:
+
+/usr/bin/pep8 --ignore=E261,W291,W293 --count -r --show-source <file/folder>
+
+i.e.:
+
+# cd lib/install_target
+# /usr/bin/pep8 --ignore=E261,W291,W293 --count -r --show-source logical.py
