Tobias C. Berner <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from Tobias C. Berner <[email protected]> --- Moin moin I like the idea in principal, I myself looked at adding these targets a few years ago, and lbartoletti@ had the same idea a few weeks back. However... The reason kde@ never added those targets is, that up to a few years ago, KDE had unit tests which assumed you are *not* running the build as root (which most port builds are). They did funny things in the spirit of "rm -r /etc" as a "failing test case", which of course when running the `make test` as root, would pretty much ruin your day. And of course, took quite a lot of time to figure out that a test-case was doing it. So, while I technically think this new target is a good idea, with the memory of a broken system, I kind of does do not want this, out of fear that other upstreams are doing similar assumptions about the rights of a user running the tests. mfg Tobias -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
