Just curious: why don't you want to edit the package? And what do you mean by 'working around'? We can't (well, RFC-2119 'MUST NOT' :-) risk installing an untested git to the same output as a tested one: that would violate the functional model.

And what do you mean by > 'working around'? Sometimes I work on a package like Git and build the result to see if I get the expected change. I might not need to run the "check" phase for that. But as you pointed out, it's only a temporary measure for quick hacking and once I'm convinced with my code I re-enable the tests and build one last time. -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 487 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
