RESTRICTing the test and an open bug when this is not the case.
Thilo, I'm trying not to touch the issue of test failures at all. Also, my feeling is that although not too many people commented here, we have a consensus in favor of my suggestion. And my suggestion is to replace FEATURES="test" in the developer profile with FEATURES="test test-fail-continue" to make us developers actually use it. I've been running my dev box with FEATURES="test test-fail-continue" and I'm happy. I'm filing bugs for the test failures, but the packages get installed regardless of that (i.e. I get the work done). If it does answer your doubts, then great. If it doesn't, please let me know what I'm missing. Paweł
