Well, OpenPKG packages are intended to be run by admins in batch/no-attention mode, not developers in interactive/feedback mode. So, executing a test suite, especially one which runs many minutes, IMHO is not really what should be done during building an OpenPKG package. That Aegis works correctly an Aegis-skilled developer has to ensure beforehand, not the average admin just leveraging from its OpenPKG packaging. Ralf S.
