[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Bug#739020: run tests during build

[Martin Pitt]

Package: systemd
Version: 204-7
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hello,

systemd has some unit tests (with "make check"). Unfortunately not all
of them work in the rather restricted environment of our buildds, but
most of them do. It would be nice to at least run those, to pick up
regressions on particular architectures. Of course, over time, I
also hope that we can fix those tests upstream to work better during
package build.

The main ingredient is a patch to allow specifying a different path
for /etc/machine-id, as that does not yet usually exist (particularly,
not in buildd chroots). Upstream rejected the patch back then
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62344), but it's rather
simple, so doesn't hurt too bad for a distro patch.

Are you interested in that for Debian? If so, I'll attach the three
git formatted patches for that (against current packaging git).

Thanks for considering,

Martin
