Hello!
The debian/rules file for ipsvd currently builds the package
and runs its testsuite within the same rules target without
checking whether "nocheck" is set in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS or
not:
build-stamp: patch-stamp
-gcc -v
test -e ipsvd || ln -s ipsvd-1.0.0 ipsvd
test -r conf-cc'{orig}' || cp -f ipsvd/src/conf-cc conf-cc'{orig}'
echo '$(CC) $(CFLAGS)' >ipsvd/src/conf-cc
test -r conf-ld'{orig}' || cp -f ipsvd/src/conf-ld conf-ld'{orig}'
echo '$(CC) $(LDFLAGS)' >ipsvd/src/conf-ld
(cd ipsvd/ && package/compile && package/check)
touch build-stamp
This means that it is not possible to build the package without
running the testsuite meaning it will be hard to cross-build the
package or it building in emulated build environments where
tests can produce unexpected results.
In order to address this issue, the call to "package/check"
should be moved to the "check:" target of debian/rules although
I'm not sure whether it's actually called like that. I haven't
worked with rules files that old which don't use modern debhelper
syntax for ages.
Thanks,
Adrian
