Probably, although I still think it's worth considering every package on a case by case basis, and looking at fixing the tests. I just think it will be more effective to disable tests for some packages, so that it becomes easier to debug things and work on the Hurd in general. >> often I'll be unable to SSH in > > Couldn't you get a console from a virtual serial port from the VM ? Maybe, I also want to look at getting the serial port output logged to a file (if that's even possible).
