Dear maintainers, I wonder why the test suite of dbus needs the 'debug' USE flag enabled, i.e. the --enable-stats and --enable-verbose-mode? Is there any particular reason? If they are necessary for testing, wouldn't it be more elegant to pass them to the second configure (used for testing) as the it is already done for --enable-asserts, --enable-checks and --enable-embedded-tests? I asked because I stumbled upon the failure of test-refs (see #627702). The test suite succeeds, however, if compiled without --enable-verbose-mode. May guess is that the tests fails somehow due to the large log file (~400M) which contains all the verbose output of dbus.
This change was introduced in commit 79156e15250b00e3abf4e9b7cfbc1983e791dc0b without much detail about the reason to proceed this way. I have no objection to changing it the way you suggest. Anyone else ?
