Hi all,
since there was no ‘me too’ message in this thread from developers wanting to
optionaly enable network tests, I will keep on using DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE and
will not go further in proposing a new DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS flag.
This said, I will be happy to update my package to use DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS in the
future if some standard emerges.
Have a nice day,
