For one of my projects (density-fitness) I'd like to have a better
autopkgtest that does not require a full installation of libcifpp along
with the 750MB of data in components.cif (CCD). So I rewrote the script
to run the executable in order to use a small subset of that CCD file.
But the autopkgtest cannot find the file which means the script is not
run from within the directory where the test files are located.
What is the best approach to fix this? Use the path of the script
querying $0? Use some undocumented variable to find the location of the
scripts? Include the data into the script and write that out first
before running the actual test?
You would need to copy the files to AUTOPKGTEST_TMP dir for them to be
found. The idea is to do the tests in a tmpdir.
I have fixed a patch to salsa, LMK if that makes sense.
Thanks, so the script starts in the extracted debian source directory.
Should have thought of that.
BTW the cross-builds are failing due to running mrc from build
architecure. Is this really needed/good to have?
(adding -DUSE_RSRC=OFF makes cross builds pass)
If it does add value, it is fine to have it as is and let cross-builds
Well, I think using mrc adds value. It makes executables more portable
since some of the most often needed resource files are then included in
the binary. But maybe I should drop this feature for packaging in
Debian. No one is going to copy a binary installed in Debian from one
computer to another. I guess.
