"Traditionally" piuparts was not starting any services, over time we've
changed that to start postgresql+mysql, as many packages need those working ,
and we wanted to test that.
That said, packages *must* also install sanely without depending services (be
it redis-server or a sql db), for the usecase of creating chroots or live-
media etc, so gitlab-server *must* install fine, even if redis-server is not
running.
Our current "implementation" of starting sql-services has downsides like
#801575 so I'm hesistant to start more services like this as this will cause
more false negatives as described in 801575 and I think false negatives should
be avoided as much as possible.
Once services can be tested with proper seperation, I'd be more than glad to
add a "new suite" to be tested, "sid-with-services" (or whatever name we'll
come up with) and enable all services to be started there, while we can keep
testing the "sid" suite with all services disabled. Package installation
*must* cope with both scenarios.
Help welcome.
cheers,
Holger
