Comment 6 for bug 1814258

Hi Otto,

For 10.0/xenial, did you manually run the testsuite to capture results? The testsuite is disabled in the build with the following comment:

  # Run testsuite
  # Disable test suite because of too many false positives that we don't have
  # time to fix in time of the Ubuntu 16.04 release, and as actual fixes must
  # get in, the test suite with false positives is an unnecessary obstacle.

Also, the security team's security-proposed ppa now has autopkgtests enabled on it; see e.g. the bionic results at http://people.canonical.com/~platform/security-britney/current/security_bionic_excuses.html

For mariadb-10.1/bionic, autopkgtests attempted to run, but because the 10.1 packaging doesn't produce the mariadb-test package, the upstream tests failed. I'm not sure that they're any different than the tests that get run at build time, so there may not actually be any gain by fixing this.

Thanks.
