Description Dima Tisnek 2011-09-19 08:42:15 UTC

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" USE="-test" emerge -avt git
still runs tests as part of compile step.
which takes very long
which is very annoying
especially considering how fat git itself is, installing git in gentoo is so long it almost seems to negate speed benefit of git itself.
(sorry for the rant)

on an unrelated note, git +subversion requires subversion +perl and git +perl, ebuild is not aware of the latter.

Reproducible: Always

The execution of tests is not controlled by the test USE flag. That's what FEATURES=-test does.

If that doesn't work, attach the output of `emerge --info' as well as a full build log (FEATURES=noclean preserves it after a successful merge)

That is a different issue for which you should file an own bug.

Doh I was blind, I had 2 FEATURES= stanzas in make.conf ;-(
