The intention of build-refactoring was to make packaging as simple as possible. The purpose of client only build https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/6517 Is to allow package just client parts on distriutions which does not have systemd or they do not want to depend on systemd. Because ipa-client install just configure sssd, certmonger which still can be compiled without systemd support. So the `--disable-server` must disable all parts which requires anything with server dependencies. Therefore it disable js-lint, pylint and installation of ipatest. There is a still possiblility to enable them with client-only build. e.g. `./configure --disable-server --with-ipatests --enable-pylint` >The final decision has been made. > The decission was made that there will be `--without-ipatests` for tox use-case. Becasue tox use-case is not a client only build. Therefore explicit enabling `ipatests` is required for tox use-case.
