We mostly test backwards compatibility with things like reading +in old binary files (zlib, Berkeley DB etc.) and making sure we can still +retrieve their contents. + +We also run an existing maintainer test for checking the status of +separately packaged dual life modules in the archive. This is expected +to regress when somebody e.g. packages a new dual life module, and +the fix is to add corresponding Breaks/Provides/Replaces or special +case it in the test. + +This is work in progress, and suggestions for further tests are very +welcome. + + -- Niko Tyni <ntyni@debian.org> Fri, 18 May 2018 16:45:10 +0300 |
