Hi, about the "nocheck" part of the discussion, could the "wontfix" ruling be reconsidered nowadays? "dh" is now the standard packaging style, and "override_dh_auto_test" is the standard way to signal "hey this package has a testsuite" in debian/rules, so it just be logical to have our standard tools honor our standard flag DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck.
The alternative is that everyone needs to put semi-scary make code
into their rules file:
override_dh_auto_test:
ifeq ($(filter nocheck,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)),)
...
endif
This should really be part of the toolchain. (And we have DH compat
levels just for doing that kind of changes.)
Thanks,
Christoph
