Package: borgbackup Version: 1.0.0~rc1-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi Gianfranco, hi Daniel,
I want to re-activate the testsuite of borgbackup, but without the problems that occured the last time, so I CC'd both of you, I hope that's all right. I have prepared a patch, and verified it against a jessie-backports cowbuilder, but I'm not merging it into master without checking in with you this time : ) You will find the branch at the collab-maint repository as "master-testsuite-enabled". Direct link to graphical diff: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/borgbackup.git/diff/?h=master-testsuite-enabled&id2=master&id=master-testsuite-enabled Gianfranco, could you check that merging this doesn't make any problems with the Ubuntu port, and Daniel, could you verify there are no problems with jessie? If both come in as OK, I'd merge this as 1.0.0~rc1-3, but only after -2 has finished testing migration, which should happen on 2016-02-23 or -24. My motivation for activating the testsuite is to ensure that the libraries in Debian are compatible with the ones upstream expects -- this will get more relevant for stable-backports, once sid is 1-2 years different from stable. In general, I'd rather get errors at build time than from users after they upgrade their machine, and running the upstream test suite seems like a good start into this direction. Cheers, - Danny
