18 Hi,
19 Thanks for the answer, as i'm already using this plus some settings
20 in /etc/make.conf - FEATURES="...maketest..." and while emerging they
21 get added so things work. May be it would be better to put 'maketest' in
22 package.feature as it'll be on a per package base (must check) and not
23 global.
24 But my main issue here is with the time/resources needed to recompile
25 the failing (?) package/s. i just want to skip testing phase w/o
26 recompiling.
27 Even more this (failing) may be due to some gentoo specific
28 patches/configs so one way for things to be resolved is upstream but
29 here gentoo may not be a general case or be needed that some dev
30 explicitly disables some checks/tests - time/resources needed again.
31 For example look at a BUG about libtool (i'm getting this too) where
32 failing 'sh.test' (only 1 of 109) is due to gentoo patch and so can't be
33 fixed upstream. By memory i've such errors with libtool,cdemu,gnome-vfs
34 and some 3-4 more.
35 And as in my experience i have nearly 10% emerge errors due to
36 'maketest' this becomes an issue.
37 Consider if i should use 'maketest' at all? i'll if there is a way for
38 this to be useful w/o too many problems. Also new bugs should emerge.
39 Now just search for an easier way to use this (skip testing phase) and
40 don't waste time/resources.
41 TIA
