--- Comment #15 from Gleb Popov <arrowd@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Daniel Engberg from comment #14)
This brings us to the question
"Should we disable failing tests to let others run and testing to succeed?"
My answer to that is "no". I view a port as a sort of adapter or wrapper
construct around the upstream project. If the upstream project insists on
running X tests and expect all of them to pass, then the same expectation
should be set by the port. Selectively disabling tests to make "make test" look
green may create a false feeling that the software runs correctly.
But I agree that we don't have any rules regarding this in Porters Handbook, so
you can do as you wish. However, if you go this route, I'd recommend to remove
patch-test_run-test.sh and instead just do
${RM} "$BUILDTESTDIR"/test-crbug1004254
somewhere in post-extract or post-patch. This will effectively disable the
test.
