Currently tests > are simply skipped. I tried packaging the tests too. But, the tests require the root user and group to be present. The build environment does not have the root user and group. So, the tests fail. Can anything be done about this? Or should I abandon packaging the tests, and just mention this in the comments somewhere? I also tried running the tests in my own user environment, and they ran fine. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEf3MDQ/Lwnzx3v3nTLiXui2GAK7MFAljDeGAACgkQLiXui2GA K7MCmwf+MnHlIouc/oa4KfTYIVotl2kq7Kj1lb1CIbha+fuShqD8asRh27gq1aaz NChHs9ESIrqcX2b+KmQSyjC2jtmccGKSn3dmEDaYH3EZSo8Lpbz8TiAXUXc1TNhQ Ji4N9jU8KkIFf3+gEsLWI02gGGfA88f33S8SHOnQDwTjErIryj5NEe0xiLU31uvF 1tAgyb6QyWG53lkvAm0PlWEiAhbdOUg2SdFPnBE314zB5aszKksQZxExANVPfdqd JKdEAQiHkTxJLM0ZokQn67V93utQi0cPEE0ZHdlwf6QGkm5ZYuVzy5TkAafZHtm9 7teeL2tXgJxtcVFFJjeS6cjYl4uWdQ== =xn2N -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
