Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Support for running tests on a different machine (Discussion #2884)
@pmatilai I was referring to `%check` in spec files, _not_ RPM’s own test suite (though that would be useful too). -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/discussions/2884#discussioncomment-8374826 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Support for running tests on a different machine (Discussion #2884)
@dmnks feel free to correct/extend, but the test-suite does run as a separate step in the "native" mode using already built binaries. That's only supported on Fedora at the moment but that's AIUI just a matter of somebody adding + maintaining a native dockerfile for their target distro. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/discussions/2884#discussioncomment-8369228 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Support for running tests on a different machine (Discussion #2884)
To the best of my understanding, cross-compilation currently is incompatible with running test suites, unless one uses QEMU or other pure-software emulation mechanisms. These cause problems with code that depends on CPU features. At the same time, the rise of languages such as Rust and C++, which require more CPU and RAM during build, is making it very difficult to natively compile on slow processors. One potential solution would be for RPM to support running the test suite remotely, or at least in a separate step. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/discussions/2884 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
