Hi Greg, Gregory Sharp, on 2022-11-18: > Thank you, you are correct! Yahoo blocked your direct e-mail, but it also blocked the one from debian-med which is not good. Things that happen I guess. For what it's worth this prompted me to check my own provider didn't change dkim settings behind my back. I worried when I saw my configuration was still correct, that your provider might be overly suspicious. > Looks like I did not correctly understand autopkgtest. Would you recommend reverting the debian-tests-data removal or adjusting run-unit-test? Digging in mail archives, I noticed the autopkgtest was brought a few months ago by someone else[0]. I would tend to assume a revert would be appropriate if this data set was brought specifically for running the test.

Autopkgtests are usually nice to have, they allow you to test your program in the same conditions as your end users would expect from an installed package. As a bonus, your package gets to migrate to testing a couple of days earlier. You actually started a first autopkgtest through the Salsa CI pipeline[1], although not one you have configured yourself. [1]: https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/plastimatch/-/pipelines Wiki documentation about autopkgtest[2] is a bit terse but can serve as entry point; there is also a page about best practices[3]. In my opinion, the best documentation available for autopkgtest is installed below /usr/share/doc/autopkgtest/ after installing the package autopkgtest. One README will help you run tests and another one will help you to adjust them.
