Thanks Guillame. I wasn't aware of this and did not manage to find that
in the wiki. I thought the only tests performed where RPM lint checks,
manual checks by the QA and some undefined checks by the maintainers.
Anyhow, I assume the 'make test' is performed on the build server. Your
experiences might prove me wrong, but wouldn't it be better to perform
tests on a different installation?
Probably, indeed, because the environment would be closer to an actual
usage environment. But this is hardly measurable.
And you have to balance the added value of those additional tests with
the manpower needed to setup a new test infrastructure, integrate it
with current build system, and maintain it... I heard the sysadmin team
was looking for volonteers, if you're interested :P
