Run autopkgtest only

[dernasherbrezon]

Hi,

I have java project which could produce .deb package. I was wondering if travis.debian.net could skip building phase and just execute autopkgtest.

There is similar project: https://github.com/terceiro/debci, but it requires separate hardware, polling, lxc, lvm, rabbitmq & a lot of configs.

Hi @dernasherbrezon .

Whilst this is possible, why not build the .deb anyway? I mean, it's not your compute resources so the "wasteful" effort is Someone Else's Problem?

In addition, this would mean that you would not be running the autopkgtests against the installed package (just the source), which is kinda the point of autopkgtest to begin with, no?

I'm building .deb using maven. It will execute unit tests natively for java.

The only missing part is .deb test which should be executed in isolated environment.
