It would probably be good to run these at build time too, just in case a package has local tests which fail because of a dependency which changed in some incompatible way. DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS provides nocheck, which debhelper follows, so it would be easy to adapt this procedure for dh $@ style rule files, and that would enable package maintainers to easily skip the tests for local builds if they wanted/needed to. And of course, it would be possible to not run the tests for specific packages. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com "I'm a rational being--of a sort--rational enough, at least, to see the symptoms of insanity around me.
