Usually if there are tests that fail for reasons other than packaging |
| 13 |
(like requirements on other distro stuff (I have encountered tests that |
| 14 |
run 'apt-get' or 'yum') or running daemons), I try to patch them |
| 15 |
out rather than have failing tests that can't reasonably be fixed. I |

will also try to fix buggy tests, if it can be done with reasonable |
| 17 |
effort. |
