Hi.
I've just made a team upload trying to address this.
The skips would probably needs to be added to both debian/rules and
debian/tests.
I was unsure about how to do that, but then I looked at the
autopkgtests logs
and realized that the tests marked to be skipped in debian/rules are
also
skipped when the autopkgtests run.
Apparently pybuild-autopkgtest has some kind of magic that reads
variables
from debian/rules so that we don't have to define things twice, which
is great.
So I hope what I did will work. If it does not, I'll probably need help
to
complete the fix.
That will work fine (and s390x is now built, thank you!)
I forgot that dipy debian/rules simply calls debian/tests, which makes
it simpler.
For the general case of applying the skips separately in both
debian/rules and debian/tests,
there are examples in openmm and elsewhere (scipy, mpi4py, scikit-learn,
mdanalysis, etc)
openmm is the most recent one I added it to, so I'd suggest it as "best
practice".
The little tricks are things like defining SKIP_TESTS in debian/rules
outside the dh_ rules (scipy does it inside), and using "" with
"${SKIP_TEST_LIST[@]}" in debian/tests to allow for complex multipart
skip definitions.
