Package: libarchive Severity: wishlist This patch should reveal log files if any tests fail. Bad side is that it doesn't fail the build if tests fail. I tried to use $$? to check the exit status of dh_auto_test and fail after showing the log files, but couldn't make it work. Looks like gnu make doesn't support $$?
If you have a better idea to make it fail *after* showing the log files, please apply it. It would be much better to see why the errors fail directly in the buildd logs. :) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers oneiric-updates APT policy: (500, 'oneiric-updates'), (500, 'oneiric-security'), (500, 'oneiric'), (100, 'oneiric-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-16-generic (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
