Hi! Given that dpkg-dev has recognized the Testsuite field for some time, I don't really see a reason for dpkg-source not to automatically add it to the generated .dsc with an “autopkgtest” value if there is a debian/tests/control file around, instead of requiring maintainers to remember to set it manually.
Reading the spec [S], it seems to me that the file can be empty, as it states “This is a file containing zero or more RFC822-style stanzas”, so the code cannot do any sanity check, like checking if the file contains one stanza with a Tests field. So it will only check for the file presence. [S] <https://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=autopkgtest/autopkgtest.git;a=blob;f=doc/README.package-tests.rst;hb=HEAD> I've queued a patch doing exactly that for dpkg 1.17.11. If there's any known reservations with that, please speak up. Thanks, Guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
