Is there any package with a testsuite that should be run when cross-building? Why doesn't the cross-build procedure enable nocheck automatically? I don't like the idea of changing all cross-buildable packages to special-case crossbuilding by overriding the nocheck flag in debian/rules. Besides, that would remove the benefit of tests when cross-building to another native arch (e.g., amd64->i386). I can imagine some setup for cross-testing being invented in the future (e.g., involving sending native binaries and their dependencies to another machine and testing them there), but I suspect this would be something different than the normal build-time tests that are disabled by the nocheck setting. For example, autopkgtest might be the way to go for that. Hope that helps, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
