Version 4.2.0 of the Debian Policy has been recently released. There are
two items in the checklist that may concern the DOG packages:
4.9
The package build should be as verbose as reasonably possible. This
means that "debian/rules" should pass to the commands it invokes
options that cause them to produce maximally verbose output.
4.9.1
New "terse" tag that can appear in "DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS" to make a
package build less verbose.
Since the build infrastructure is based on debhelper, I hope that
the points above will eventually be implemented into the debhelper
scripts.
However, as regards dh_octave_check, which is an extra script introduced
by the dh-octave package, the first recommendation above is followed (by
default, the tests are run with the "verbose" option), but not the second
one.
In order to comply with the new Policy, I changed dh_octave_check in
commit 35116d0 [1] such that, if the environment variable
DH_OCTAVE_TEST_OPT is not set and the environment variable
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains the term "terse", then the tests will be run
in "quiet" mode. Notice that the variable DH_OCTAVE_TEST_OPT has
precedence over DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
If you agree with this change, I will upload a new version of dh-octave
and bump the Standards-Version of all OF packages to 4.2.0.
Looks good to me, thanks.
