"Other safe cases" mentions: FTBFS(Fails To Build From Source) can also be considered. Please note that in main the release process ensures that there are no binaries which are not built from a current source. Usually those bugs should only be SRUed in conjunction with another bug fix. When this was written, autopkgtests did not exist. I think it would be reasonable to extend the policy to include autopkgtests by analogy. However, as this says, "usually those bugs should only be SRUed in conjunction with another bug fix". When there is no history of regressions being introduced in this package as a result of NOT having autopkgtests in place, I don't think we should do an SRU only to add a working test. I won't mark these bugs wontfix, but I am rejecting the upload in the meantime until there is another change needed to the package that would warrant an SRU. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1825448 Title: gnupg2 autopkgtest 'simple-tests' should be included in x/b/c To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnupg/+bug/1825448/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1825448] Re: gnupg2 autopkgtest 'simple-tests' should be included in x/b/c
Adding new autopkgtests in devel series - good. Adding new autopkgtests in stable series - not good. Fixing regressions that got introduced during the lifetime of a stable series - good. The only times when we introduced new autopkgtests in stable series, is when we upload fixes for regressions / SRU bugs and attempt at preventing them from regressing again in the stable series. This development does not appear to be that. Uploading new smoke-tests is out of the scope of the SRU policy. What prompted this bug report?

I was asking about how the points raised in the mailing list thread specifically apply to this particular case. It sounds like you object more in principle to the general points raised. In that case I suggest you participate in the thread in ubuntu-release@ instead, so we don't silo that discussion here.

> please could you assess this against the concerns raised in the thread here Please correct me if I'm mischaracterizing your argument, but basically you are saying that this update will cause all users to perform a deb download that has no impact on the code they are running. I'm afraid I don't see the merit of your argument at all, if it is in fact simply about additional end-user downloads. Unless I'm misunderstanding it, that has no impact at all to end-users besides download bandwidth and time; end-users will not have to spend any additional time actually doing anything because of this update. Compare that to what sru uploaders (and sru approvers) must do each time this package's autopkgtests fail - it wastes extremely valuable time looking at autopkgtest failures, figuring out why they failed, finding this bug (if they don't already know about it) and justifying why the autopkgtest regression should be ignored. Alternately, this test could be hinted to completely ignore it for all reverse-depends autopkgtest runs, but IMO that's even worse - you're intentionally preventing the reverse-depends autopkgtest run from actually doing its job, of making sure that other package changes don't cause regressions in this package.

Thank you for working on improving our test suites. This upload is only to fix dep8 tests, right? If so, please could you assess this against the concerns raised in the thread here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2018-March/004352.html ?
