If there is any need to change these you can do this with quilt patches. This is a short quilt workflow (make sure you have added a quilt configuration as described in Debian Med policy). quilt new test_suite_fixes.patch quilt edit file1_that_needs_to be changed quilt edit file2_that_needs_to be changed quilt refresh quilt pop git add debian/patches/* git commit -a -m"Fix upstream tests" If you are not as comfortable with quilt you can alternatively edit the git files and do mkdir -p debian/patches git diff > debian/patches/test_suite_fixes.patch echo test_suite_fixes.patch >> debian/patches/series (the series file is listing all patches that should be applied. You can have more than one patch.) In this case make sure you revert your changes in upstream dir - may be by using git stash If you are using patches please also add DEP3 headers at least specifying Description: Fix test suite Author: Last-Update: Hope this is sufficient for a short introduction Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
Question about debugging of bedtool's autopkgtest fail
Hi Andreas, I've looked at *bedtools* package yesterday to understand how it works and how it is tested. The tests are written in a new way for me. It seems that I need to make changes in the test files outside the debian directory. Is it normal to modify upstream files in the usual way or I need something special to know how to work with upstream files? Thank you, Liubov

I need to check this. Fixed[1]. It was a bug in the machine readable gatherer that was rewritten for salsa. Please keep on with your QA checks which are really valuable Andreas.
