<PRE>Thanks Guillame. I wasn't aware of this and did not manage to find that in
the wiki. I thought the only tests performed where RPM lint checks, manual
checks by the QA and some undefined checks by the maintainers.

Anyhow, I assume the 'make test' is performed on the build server. Your
experiences might prove me wrong, but wouldn't it be better to perform
tests on a different installation?

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>     We already run existing tests suite during package build... Running
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>     them again on a different host would just change the execution
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>     environment to use runtime dependencies instead of build time
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>     dependencies. I don't know if the potential results are worth the

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I was under the impression, that only some kind of lint checking of the

</I>&gt;&gt;<i> performed during packaging?
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Running 'make check', or 'make test', or any other software test suite.
</I>&gt;<i> Just check for %check section in package spec file, for instance:
