I remember that we already had a discussion about this topic a while back,
in thread [1]
Where do I find a good example of a "tests” variant
(which is really installing the tests on the system)?
when I stumbled over this myself. I also would like to have a user-end test
phase which would expose test results to the user. Users should be able to
opt-in for this by setting a global option enabling these tests.
But this would need some serious work on MacPorts’ base code, I figure...
Greets,
Marko
