Hello Nathann,
I do not agree with testing all external packages. The fact that I
happen to have a magma/maple/whatever installation on my computer does
not mean that I care about Sage doctest failures. Maybe I have a version
of the external package which is not fully compatible with Sage but
which works for me? Or maybe I have the external package but I don't
care about the Sage interface with that package?
By automatically running those tests, you are forcing people to care
about stuff that they didn't want to care about.
The fact that proprietary packages will probably never be automatically
tested on the buildbot for license reasons is also a good reason to not
run those tests automatically.
Jeroen.
