How about making %check a packaging requirement in all cases - run tests or

there are no tests for this package.

Does %check install the package and run the tests as root?  For the keyutils
package that I maintain, this would be a requirement to be able to run the
testsuite because:

  (1) There are certain operations that cannot be tested if you're not root.

  (2) The kernel must be able to upcall to executables installed by the rpm.

I imagine this applies to some other packages also.


I does, but not sure to how many. %check is executed during rpmbuild time right after %build so limitations apply.
