Matthew Miller,Unit tests, even though in theory developer should mock dependencies to isolate their code to the maximum, in reality, it is not that clear cut. Therefore, those unit tests do serve to some extent as a validation that their code works with the system libraries and platforms present in the targeted configuration. I think it is valuable to run them during the rpm builds, and contribute upstream when they break.

They should NEVER be run in a distribution build.Even in the few little packages I'm still responsible for, I sometimes see unit test failures. The developer ran the tests, but not on S390. Or, with a different timezone database than current in Fedora. Or etc.
