Bug#838379: dpkg-dev: Add Testsuite: autopkgtest when a debian/tests/control.autodep8 exists
Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.18.10 Severity: normal -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Dear Maintainer, I have a Python package that only contains a d/tests/control.autodep8 file, not a d/tests/control file. This requires the addition of an explicit Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-python header to d/control whereas the existance of d/tests/control would add this automatically.

IWBNI > the same logic applied to d/tests/control.autodep8 There are multiple problems with this request. First that control file is not documented in the autopkgtest spec AFAICS, it seems to be documented in the autodep8 package though. Knowing what to use as the Testsuite value would imply replicating the same logic autodep8 has to infer what kind of tests are to be run, with all the Debian specic policy that that implies (package names, etc). (This is very mild annoyance, but every time I see a “depN” reference, I've to lookup those names, and we have less than 20 AFAIR, they are still very non-intuitive, I'd rather not see those extend. :) As it stands I don't think I'd want to see this implemented in dpkg-dev. Because if such file contained the type of pkg the test are supposed to use so that dpkg-dev could pick that up, then one might as well spell it instead in the debian/control file? Thanks, Guillem
