Hi, I have a package (saods9) with a graphical user interface (Tk), and I want to make some basic build-time and CI tests. The program can be controlled from the command line; however it needs a running X server to start.
I could depend on xvfb, and do a Xvfb & xpid=$! DISPLAY=:0 ... do the tests kill $xpid but maybe there is a canonical or better way? If doing as described above, can I rely on the default screen :0 not being taken on build (chroot) machines? Or how can I make sure to get/create a usable X server?
