Subject: | [gentoo-dev] Make FEATURES=test the default |

1 | I'd like to suggest we make FEATURES=test (and therefore USE=test) the |
2 | default behaviour, rather than the opt-in we currently have. Far too |
3 | many packages fail their test phase. |
4 | |
5 | Since we encourage users to set CFLAGS in ways that upstream may not |
6 | have predicted, if upstream go to the trouble of providing tests it |
7 | seems sensible to me that they should be run, unless there is a very |
8 | good reason not to run them. This will help pick up faults that are due |
9 | to the compiler version, CFLAGS etc much more consistently. |
10 | |
11 | At the very least, ebuild maintainers and ATs should be running with |
12 | tests switched on. If the tests are known to fail then the ebuild can |
13 | either RESTRICT=test, or just return successfully from src_test() |
14 | where the test report is useful even if some tests fail. |
15 | |
16 | Thoughts? |
