In passing, I will note that I am not impressed by the implication
that our builders ought to run the tests for glib (in almost
everything else we use words like "if you wish to run the tests"),
also that it seems to write on the Xorg screen in some of the tests
(and I'm not sure that running in Xorg is specified - ISTR people
such as Bruce build glib before Xorg).
I build glib both before and after xorg. If I am doing a validation
before release, I build glib before xorg, but I generally don't run
tests during the validation stage. When doing an update, I do run the
tests and build after xorg.
Note that for most packages I can run tests that need xorg over ssh.
What we say in glib is:
To test the results, after having installed the package, ...
That does not imply that running tests is mandatory.
