I had considered this, but dropping the fakeroot functionality from shell test suite just for that feels wrong (and is pretty tedious as well). Keeping it, letting 'make check' run as much as possible and making sure 'make distcheck' remains unaffected is a cleaner solution IMO. > If the tests are updated to run all variants by default, then > RUN_FULL_TESTSUITE is not needed. ACK, I'll work on that. It will also improve live for non-"make check" users. Thanks, Phil
