I have a package which has an extensive test suite that relies on using docker/podman to create a container for it's test runner and mounts the build tree read-only inside it. If docker or podman is found at the time of configure, it will include a check target to run the full suite and dh_auto_test will automatically invoke it as part of the binary package build. Otherwise, it is just skipped with a message and builds without running any tests. When I run dpkg-buildpage to build locally, I get the test suite as I have it installed, but when I build with pbuilder or schroot, the tests get skipped. Should I add a build-depenency on podman or is there some mechanism to make it optional? I suppose I could just try adding the package to my referenec images so it's there when I build inside a chroot(), but does buildd normally try to run test suites when available after a new source package is uploaded? Or it that not normally done on the build server? -- Loren M.
