Let's standardize the way to disable tests during RPM build?
by Tomas Orsava 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

Hi, I think it would be useful to have a standard way of disabling the running of tests during RPM build (in the %check section of a spec file). I see a lot of packages already having %bcond's or other macro definitions to archieve this, but each package has their own way, there's no real standard. Thus you have to first look into the spec, locate the appropriate %bcond or macro name and only then you can disable the tests. I would like to propose two approaches: (a) Add a *SHOULD* rule to the guidelines that specifies what is the preferred way to conditionalize the tests. (b) Or, if that's too strong, mention in the guidelines the common methods that are being used (e.g. %bcond tests and %bcond check) so that new packagers have something to use. What do you think?

It's not wired into the rest of the stack - eg. you cannot start a Koji build with checks disabled. IMHO that's a good thing, although when we first started doing the RISC-V bootstrap we initially and briefly used this option to disable the tests, for convenience of getting packages built.

[Fedora-packing] Problem with __scm_setup_git if global excludesfile is defined
by xiaofeng 02 Jun '20

Hi, When using %autosetup -S git, it expands to auto add all files to the git index, but if the user like me set a global excludesfile, some files may be excluded, and it will fail to build if those excluded files need to be patched. May be we can change the macro bellow: %{__git} add . to %{__git} add -f . or %{__git} -c core.excludesfile= add . to force add all files?
