[Python-apps-team] Bug#735578: mercurial: autopkgtest testsuite fails on stderr, hgsubversion requires network access

[Martin Pitt]

Package: mercurial
Version: 2.8.1-2
User: autopkgtest-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: autopkgtest

Hello,

mercurial's autopkgtest currently fails [1] in two different ways:

 * testsuite:

   | adt-run: & dsc0t-testsuite:  - - - - - - - - - - stderr - - - - - - - - - -
   | warning: Tested with unexpected mercurial lib: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mercurial
   |         (expected /usr/bin/mercurial)

   autopkgtests must not write anything to stderr by default, so that
   unexpected warnings etc. are caught. If this is expected and cannot
   easily be suppressed, then you can add "Restrictions: allow-stderr"
   to its control stanza, as in attached debdiff.

 * hgsubversion:

   In Ubuntu's CI machinery we don't have access to outside servers
   like alioth. This of course does not directly affect Debian, I
   mostly mentioned it to explain why I disabled that particular test
   in Ubuntu in case you wonder.

   Would you accept a patch that sets up a local svn repository with
   some example commits and then imports from that? This makes the
   test independent of network, connectivity, or alioth problems, and
   as autopkgtest is primarily meant to be a "do I have everything
   required in the package" smoketest, it should suffice.

I attach the current Ubuntu debdiff for reference, but please don't
apply it as-is to Debian.

Thanks for considering,

Martin
