Thanks for the suggestion. I definitely already want to add some
autopkgtests at some point; a basic smoke-test of slapd would be
valuable, and I'd like to test TLS functionality and even upgrades if I
can figure out how.
I do like running the testsuite on buildds, though. It has uncovered
issues on non-x86 arches (e.g. ppc, kfreebsd, hurd) in the past. I think
I would only want to stop doing that if autopkgtests will actually run
on multiple (ideally all) arches.
When I'm working on the package, I actually do most of my development builds with
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck. (Of course I do make sure to run the
testsuite locally before any upload.)
thanks,
Ryan
