I completely agree. I just wanted to ensure that if we failed, it was at least obvious to packagers who ran the tests. I'm not sure there's anything we can do if people don't run them. I do think people may run the tests more frequently than you think, though. I always do in my packaging at $DAYJOB, but any failures (usually missing SANITY) tend to already be patched by the time I get off work and write a patch. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US https://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
