Description

Some parts of xbps-src are exercised less often than other parts and become buggy for many months. It would be nice to have automated tests for that parts. They could cover:

  • non-default configuration
  • flags vs etc/conf
  • build options
  • less used commands like update-sys or show-*
  • running with minimal documented tools in host
  • running in worktree
  • ...
    I guess parts interacting with host would need running in container to be repeatable.
