Can't we move all tests to the autopkgtest framework,
instead of running them at build time?
Functionality tests has already been moved to autopkgtest,
The tests left in the building process is unit tests, which
cannot be carried out without the built object files, which
will not go into the packages.
Ah. I thought everything needed is included in the package.
I was wrong. Ok.
Now I wonder.
qemu depends on ipxe-qemu, - it refuses to start unless there's
romfile= override for pxe/efi roms. I thought about reducing
the Depends here to Recommends, but nope, Recommends wont work.
And ipxe tests do override that.
Can we replace the ipxe-qemu dependency with a fake one somehow?
Maybe something which provides empty or no romfiles?
That should work too - create a package wich provides ipxe-qemu
but doesn't install the roms?
Thanks,
