[Python-modules-team] Bug#695955: fail upon failures in loops + do not ignore tests failures

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: python-numpy
Version: 1:1.6.2-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Actually here are two patches (ready to be committed to SVN happen the
maintainer approves)

- one assures that all for loops are secured with set -e, so if any
command fails, the loop fails (do not remember who pointed me to this drawback
in my packages originally, thanks again ;) )

- tests failures are not ignored

  imho it is much better to submit packages with only known to fail tests
  disabled/excluded or even better resolved -- that provides some guarantee
  that there is no unknown issues left

yes -- currently it would lead to FTBFS since all (or nearly all -- that
is the point, impossible to figure out besides going through all of them 1 by
1) architectures show some kind of test failure or a crash:
