Hey people, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
A lot of ebuilds still fail when "test" is in FEATURES. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
It's understandable that fixing this is a low priority thing, but what |
| 6 |
I would like to propose is to either fix the tests or disable them. |
| 7 |
The latter would be the thing to do for devs who are currently closing |
| 8 |
bugs about tests with WONTFIX or similar. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
By keeping tests that fail enabled in one ebuild, perfectly good tests |
| 11 |
of any other ebuild are rendered useless because it becomes almost |
| 12 |
impossible to upgrade a system with "test" in FEATURES. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
If fixing the tests is not WONTFIX but rather something way down on your |
| 15 |
todo list, I would also recommend disabling the tests in the ebuild. |
| 16 |
A bug report could be used to track these bugs, but at least it would |
| 17 |
not bother so many people while it is still unsolved. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I'd like to know what you think of this. |

Thanks, |

Maurice. |
