The vast majority of debianized modules do not and I don't really see the point in doing the tests each time the module is built in most cases. The relevant section of policy seem to imply "no" through ommision as well (someone more knowledgable should correct me if I'm wrong here): <snip> A module should use the following lines in the debian/rules build target[3]: perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor $(MAKE) OPTIMIZE="-O2 -g -Wall" and this one to install the results into the temporary tree: $(MAKE) install PREFIX=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp/usr </snip> Of course, I run the tests in a simulated build environment to make sure things work but I do not run tests when I building the modules into a package. -- Mako Hill mako@debian.org http://people.debian.org/~mako/
