I think the .changes actually the right place. So this could become a
new option
--changes ../foo_*.changes
which would be implied if you specify a *.changes file (much like
.deb, .dsc, etc.), so you'd call this with
adt-run ../foo_*.changes
to run tests from the .dsc and with the binaries in the .changes, or
adt-run ../foo_*.changes ./
to run tests from the built tree in the current directory, and with
the binaries in the .changes.
That is easy to use, fits into the design of the existing processing
options, and does not change existing behaviour. What do you think?
Thanks,
Martin
