Not specifically, but it's considered bad form if it's the majority of the buildtime. Less applicable to arch-all packages, but remember the arch-any packages will be built on the buildds of slow architectures. Build-time tests should not be a complete test suite, but more a touch-test to see whether it's generally ok. > - Is there anything I've to take care of, what a unit test may not do on a > build server? Like accessing the internet, connecting to localhost? You certainly can't rely on internet access and starting any kind of local server is a little dodgy, particularly if it doesn't do random port selection. This isn't a java-policy-specific issue, if it should be addressed anywhere it's more suitable to the dev-ref than policy. Matt -- Matthew Johnson
