Looking for the "autopkgtest" tag in the "Testsuite:" field of the
source package entry in Sources, see:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=autopkgtest/autopkgtest.git;a=blob_plain;f=doc/README.package-tests;hb=HEAD
(which is references from http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep8/ , who might
be easier to remember as a mnemonic).
Of, if you've a lintian lab or equivalent, grep debian/control for
(checking for word boundaries around "autopkgtest" would be better):
XS-Testsuite: autopkgtest
A sample package is postgresql:
zack at usha:/tmp$ apt-cache showsrc postgresql | grep Testsuite
Testsuite: autopkgtest
There aren't that many packages in the Debian archive with autopkgtest
tests. On my machine I obtain only ~10 packages with the following:
$ grep-dctrl -s Package,Testsuite,Version -F Testsuite autopkgtest /var/lib/apt/lists/*Sources
but hopefully it will increase thanks to this new test runner!
HTH,
Cheers.
