Packages that have a test-suite should always call it. Most autotool-ed packages have a "check" target to run and that's it. It would help tracking down regressions from the build logs, and would avoid breakages like recently the grep one. Most of the sensitives packages in debian already run the testsuite (libc, compilers, git, whatever...) and I can tell as a libc packager that this already has been proven invaluable. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
