Hello Paul, Paul Wise [2016-05-07 14:45 +0800]: > AFAIK, autodep8 doesn't automatically run or turn on tests, the > maintainer has to look at the output and make it suitable. Strictly speaking, autodep8 only generates the contents of a debian/tests/control file to stdout indeed. But both ci.debian.net and autopkgtest.ubuntu.com *do* run autodep8 in production; in fact, adt-run invokes autodep8 by itself if the tested package does not have a d/t/control. So we *do* run the autogenerated tests in production, and have done so for a long time for perl, ruby, dkms, etc. > Are you suggesting the suggestion to setup a DEP-8 test for packages > that have installcheck-local in Makefile.am files be done in lintian > instead of in autodep8? No, lintian should (and can't) certainly not modify your package source. I think the original request here was to merely print out a suggestion to add an autopkgtest based on installcheck-local.
