Hello,
Please take a look at https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log?arch=ppc&package=berkel eydb&project=openSUSE%3AFactory&repository=standard One can see, that the compilation was ready quickly, but then came a testing phase: 14+ hours!!!! The relevant part of the log:
" test-j2ee:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 891 minutes 17 seconds "
Is it really necessary to run such long tests while building a package? This package blocked the compilation for the rest of the packages in Factory PPC for more than half a day.
Is there a packaging policy to enable/disable bundled tests? I'll ping package owner (mvyskocil@) if there is no policy against disabling it.
It's good practice to run testsuites when available. If the testsuites run unreasonably long then either disabling them or splitting the testsuite run to a separate .spec file is recommended (see for example gcc which runs the testsuite from libgcj.spec or ppl which runs the testsuite from ppl-testsuite.spec).
There is a (not enough known) %check section in spec files. When you add it there, we have later the chance to allow enable or disable the run of the testsuites.
In this particular case I have no idea what the testsuite of berkeleydb tests - but if it is I/O bound then it's a very bad idea anyway to run it on the builders.
well, depends. We should be able to configure this in the project later. But it would be good, if we add the tests in the %check in any case. (So far we do not have this switch, should be easy to add, but I would like to think about the general QA framework as hole first). So they are documentated at the defined place. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
