• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Issue: dev-cpp/sdbus-c++-1.2.0 installs more files with FEATURES=test.
Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: ci)

NOTE:
This is an experimental tinderbox feature.
To reproduce this issue:
1) Install the package with FEATURES=test
2) Put the list of the installed files into a file ( qlist -e PACKAGE:SLOT | sort | uniq > /tmp/qlist_test )
3) Install the package without FEATURES=test
4) Put the list of the installed files into a file ( qlist -e PACKAGE:SLOT | sort | uniq > /tmp/qlist_notest )
5) See the diff between the two files ( diff -ru /tmp/qlist_test /tmp/qlist_notest )

On this machine:
- the installed files with FEATURES=test are 33
- the installed files without FEATURES=test are 32

That is deliberate. The file needs to be installed for the tests to pass. As such, we have to skip them the first time around. I believe this is a D-Bus limitation rather than one specific to this package.

I understand but why do not remove it in src_install for example?

No, it needs to be installed to the live filesystem. You can't tell D-Bus to look anywhere else.
