Hey Guillem, Guillem Jover [2014-07-06 18:35 +0200]: > 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.
Absolutely. In fact this was even discussed back then, that's why README.package-tests.rst says "Future versions of dpkg-source might add this automatically when a ``debian/tests/control`` file is present." I just forgot to file a dpkg wishlist bug for that. > 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.

A file with zero will cause the result "SKIP no tests in this package", which should be as expected. > I've queued a patch doing exactly that for dpkg 1.17.11.
