[RFC] Run ./xbps-src check inside qemu for non-x86_64 architectures #31805

Closed Logarithmus closed 2 years ago

Logarithmus commented 3 years ago

Currently ./xbps-src check is being skipped for cross-builds. What do you think about using qemu for running the tests inside it? Is there interest from Void team in having this? If yes, I can try to make proof of concept. Sorry if this is a duplicate of another issue.

The trouble with running tests in qemu is that failures aren't dispositive. We won't know if a failure is caused by the emulation environment or the software we're testing.
