Description Killian De Volder 2011-10-23 18:44:41 UTC

The check say to set SKIP_SYSTEM_TESTS yet starting SKIP_SYSTEM_TESTS="" emerge --config postgresql-server ignores the set env.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
SKIP_SYSTEM_TESTS="" emerge --config postgresql-server
Actual Results:  
Tests are not skipped.

Expected Results:  
Test are skipped.

The only way to fix it atm for me is to mantually edit the ebuild file and reinstall.

You need to set SKIP_SYSTEM_TESTS to a non-zero length string. For example:

SKIP_SYSTEM_TESTS=yes
SKIP_SYSTEM_TESTS=foo

Wow indeed, sorry it must have been to late for me to work ...
I thought I tried that.

Sorry for such a silly bug report.

Kind regards,
Killian

ps. I took the liberty to close the bug :)
