Bug#677866: libopenblas-base: Missing 'make tests' in custom building

[XIANGYU LIU]

Package: libopenblas-base
Version: 0.1.1-4
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

When I build the custom optimized openblas (0.1.1-4) for my ARCH (AMD K10h), 'make tests' does'nt work automatically. 

Say, when I executed following commands,

#  aptitude install debhelper patch cdbs gfortran devscripts

$  dpkg-source -x openblas_0.1.1-4.dsc

$  fakeroot ./debian/rules custom

Everything is OK, but I can't see output about 'make tests' and I did'nt know whether this package was built correctly.

There is a ev variable named 'TARGET' in Makefile in srcdir, and this one is also in debian/rules. In custom building, TARGET=custom so that Makefile does'nt make tests. If one comments the 'ifndef TARGET' line (and 'endif') in Makefile manually before building, then 'make tests' is OK.

I think it might be better if building process can 'make tests' automatically when we are compiling local package using 'debian/rules custom'.
