--- Begin Message ---Package: shadow Version: 1:4.4-4 Severity: wishlist Hi, I notice that we aren't currently running shadow's testsuite as part of the package build. This seems a little risky given it's such a security-sensitive (!) package. I did notice the following warning in tests/README: This testsuite is NOT SECURE: it will temporarily change your passwords file with known passwords. You should run it on a chroot, or on a secured dedicated system. ... so it's fair enough that we are not running it as part of the Debian package build. However, this seems like a perfect use-case for ci.debian.net / autopkgtest. Regards, -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` [email protected] / chris-lamb.co.uk `-
