--- Comment #5 from Fabian Groffen <grobian@???> ---
I'm a bit confused, setting up a build animal has proven to me one needs a
dedicated, isolated VM, because of the the vast requirements especially in sudo
escalation.
Testing this and other machanisms as this without faking tricks, such as
chroots, ld_preloads etc. requires full access. Faking tricks may not even be
sufficient to test the full scheme.
The ways in which Exim 4.94 broke production systems on multiple levels (not
just this bug) seems to warrant doing animal testing that requires invasive
control/access to the test host.
That users who run tests themselves cannot, and/or should not run those tests
by default, seems obvious to me. In fact, testing is skipped, there appears to
be no make check or make test available. Is there? Anyway, perhaps this bug
is not the right medium to discuss such things.
