Thanks for making me aware of this. I'm filing a bug against debhelper asking for this behavior to be reverted. debhelper should *not* automatically disable the test suite when cross-building. There are perfectly legitimate cases where you may be cross-building and *do* want to run the test suite, and this behavior change in dh undermines this. If someone wants the test suite to be skipped because they're cross-building, they should use the standard interface for this and set DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck. Whereas if someone does want the test suite to be run when cross-building, there is no corresponding interface that lets them override this in the other direction. Joey, could you please revert this change to debhelper? (Added in response to bug #703262; cc:ing that bug's submitter.) Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
