--- Comment #4 from Erich Eickmeyer <eeickme...@ubuntu.com> --- (In reply to caulier.gilles from comment #3) > The deviation is due to the large collection of files to test digiKam > implementations, including photos and videos.

When using a distribution build system, such as the ones in use by Debian and Ubuntu where no external sources can be accessed, this is an impossible situation. These build systems are designed to run the unit tests as designed by the upstream developers for robustness. As far as I know, all KDE applications are meant to be distributed by distributions, and DigiKam is no different, is it not? If it's no different, then the unit tests should not rely on external sources, as is the case currently. In order to get it to build with the unit tests properly, we had to add the unit tests to the packaging side, which is a poor workaround. Disabling the unit tests is simply bad practice from a distribution standpoint, as you can imagine. I hope you understand where we're coming from. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
