Talk:Changes//InvokingTests

1. AliVigni: In invocation why would I want to hardcode absolute paths for test execution, artifacts, logs, This should be a relative path so where ever you run things it is in the local workspace. My machine, Jenkins, taskotron, etc.
   • MartinPitt: I reworked the invocation; it was also impractical for tests that run as non-root, and it would have potentially clobbered the root directory with temporary stuff.

1. tflink: As I understand it, the proposal requires -test subpackages to either have globally-unique file names or explicit conflicts in the spec file. Why not use a subdirectory matching the name from the specfile e.g. /usr/tests/gzip for the gzip packaged tests? That would make filename conflicts much less likely and would be one less thing for packagers to worry about when including tests.
   • MartinPitt: Excellent point; spec changed to /usr/tests/srcpkgname/ to make use of the already unique name space that source packages (aka. spec file names) give us. Will that be sufficient to map a source package to all of its binary packages that contain tests? I. e. "give me all rpms of the gtk+ source that provide tests?
