Package: pkg-perl-autopkgtest Version: 0.25 Severity: wishlist While debian/tests/pkg-perl/env-smoke (#763541) solved most issues with unusual test suites that require special treatment, there are still some that need patching or other workarounds. One of these is libnet-sftp-sftpserver-perl, which would need a special directory created under $ADTTMP. Another is libapache2-authcookie-perl (and other Apache-Test based modules) which wants t/TEST.PL executed before the tests. I'm sure there are others.
While I'd love to keep the stuff in debian/tests/pkg-perl declarative, there's a point of diminishing returns with adding special cases. I suspect this is the time, and adding a setup hook that could run an arbitrary script/executable would make sense. I'd be happy to hear what others think about this. -- Niko
