Hi,
I think it would be useful to have a standard way of disabling the
running of tests during RPM build (in the %check section of a spec file).
I see a lot of packages already having %bcond's or other macro
definitions to archieve this, but each package has their own way,
there's no real standard. Thus you have to first look into the spec,
locate the appropriate %bcond or macro name and only then you can
disable the tests.
I would like to propose two approaches:
(a) Add a *SHOULD* rule to the guidelines that specifies what is the
preferred way to conditionalize the tests.
(b) Or, if that's too strong, mention in the guidelines the common
methods that are being used (e.g. %bcond tests and %bcond check) so that
new packagers have something to use.
What do you think?
Tomas
