MIR: cmdtest, python-cliapp, python-ttystatus, python-coverage-test-runner

[Timo Aaltonen]

[Overall rationale]
cmdtest is a new build-dependency of xauth, and cmdtest itself depends on python-cliapp and python-ttystatus, which then build-depend on python-coverage-test-runner.

>> cmdtest
[Availability]
In universe since trusty

[Rationale]
A new build-dependency of xauth

[Security]
No CVE's found

[Quality assurance]
No open bugs in Debian or Ubuntu

[Dependencies]
python-cliapp and python-ttystatus needs promoted too

[Standards compliance]
clean and small package that uses dh

[Maintenance]
synced from Debian

>> python-cliapp
[Availability]
In universe since at least precise

[Rationale]
cmdtest depends on it

[Security]
No CVE's found

[Quality assurance]
only one important bug, which seems to be fixed but not properly closed
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=688195

[Dependencies]
build-dep on python-coverage-test-runner

[Standards compliance]
uses dh with dh_python2

[Maintenance]
synced from Debian, same maintainer as cmdtest

>> python-ttystatus
[Availability]
In universe since at least precise

[Rationale]
cmdtest depends on it

[Security]
No CVE's found

[Quality assurance]
no open bugs on Debian or Ubuntu

[Dependencies]
build-dep on python-coverage-test-runner

[Standards compliance]
uses dh with dh_python2

[Maintenance]
synced from Debian, same maintainer as cmdtest

>> python-coverage-test-runner
[Availability]
In universe since at least precise

[Rationale]
build-dep of python-cliapp & python-ttystatus

[Security]
No CVE's found

[Quality assurance]
no open bugs on Debian or Ubuntu

[Dependencies]
nothing new

[Standards compliance]
uses dh with dh_python2

[Maintenance]
synced from Debian, same maintainer as cmdtest

cmdtest:
- It would be nice if this were python3 in this day and age. But since cmdtest and its friends won't actually be on the desktop CD, it's OK.
- Needs team bug subscriber
- Its tests should be run. You can do this like so:
override_dh_auto_test:
ifeq (,$(filter nocheck,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
 python setup.py check
endif

But be warned... The CoverageTestRunner check needs python-coverage-test-runner added to the build-deps and even then it will fail because it finds fault with files found in the build/ directory... So maybe fix or finesse that test somehow.

python-cliapp:
- Needs team bug subscriber
- Its tests should be run. You can do this like so:
override_dh_auto_test:
ifeq (,$(filter nocheck,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
 $(MAKE) check
 nosetests
endif
- It is unusual to ship the test files like cliapp does, having both fmt.py and fmt_tests.py in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cliapp/. Not a blocker at all, just sloppy packaging.

python-ttystatus:
- Needs team bug subscriber
- Its tests should be run. You can do this like so:
override_dh_auto_test:
ifeq (,$(filter nocheck,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
 $(MAKE) check
 nosetests
endif

I take that back. python-ttystatus *is* running tests already through python-coverage-test-runner. But it still needs a bug subscriber.

And we don't need the separate nosetests call for python-cliapp. I see now that python-coverage-test-runner is doing that under the covers. So we'd just need the $(MAKE) check call.

I don't thinkg the X team is willing to look after bugs in these, so maybe it's best to just drop running the tests from xauth and be done with it
