Yeah me too, and I've been fixing these upstream to try to get there. But unfortunately these tests are highly kernel version dependent, and new ones tend to have very recent kernel requirements. The various architectures supported in Debian have wildly different support and kernel versions in the buildds. So I don't find it realistic to enforce them right now, TBH. I still want to run them to be able to check the results from time to time, though. > Note, the tests at build and at autopkgtest time are mostly the same. > Therefore I've kept "Rules-Requires-Root: no" in d/control which means it > will > in most cases not test at build time (unless you e.g. sudo sbuild ...).

Yeah, I'd rather not require root for building. > I have eventually done a cross-arch build [3] and test [4] on Ubuntu to see > how !x86 behaves now that the tests work on x86.

See above, this does not seem realistic in Debian. :/ > P.S. unfortunately the packaging repo doesn't contain the actual liburing > source.

I find the workflow of keeping the upstream sources in the packaging repos to be wrong-headed, and very confusing for people that are not into Debian packaging. I've written about this elsewhere but probably need to create a wiki page or similar to point to people that might be curious why. :) > From a08a5f39885e965994bf84e537956a559ac7ca46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 > From: Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrha...@canonical.com> > Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2020 14:54:44 +0200 > Subject: [PATCH 3/6] d/t/test-build: io_uring-link no more exists as example, > but link-cp does Thanks, in 0.7-1, I reworked the autopkgtest to use a loop and fixed this by renaming the example name. So thanks for all the patches, although as it is now, I think I'm unlikely to pull in the rest of the patches, given that this is currently going to be a major burden until uring support stabilizes in the kernel for all arches. Perhaps I'll add one autopkgtest running as root though, but that's probably it. Thanks, Guillem
