The new package transformation option --without-tests works by setting #:tests? #f in the specified packages. But some packages replace their 'check phase and no longer honor #tests?. glib for example. Attached is an attempt to document this current behavior. Shall I push it? Alternatively, it should be documented to write a check phase that honors #:tests?. Or the package transformation should be changed to remove any check phase it finds. Regards, Florian
