Description Karel Volný 2013-03-13 16:45:52 UTC
Description of problem:
util-linux sources include upstream testsuite
to make better use of it, it would be handy to have it built during package build and packaged along (preferably in a util-linux-tests subpackage)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
util-linux-2.22.1-2.4.el7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum search util-linux-tests
  
Actual results:
[root@pes-guest-90 ~]# yum search util-linux-tests                                                                                                                                                             
Warning: No matches found for: util-linux-tests                                                                                                                                                                
No Matches found

Expected results:
[root@pes-guest-90 ~]# yum search util-linux

Additional info:
when recompiling from the source package manually, you cannot be sure that you test the exactly same code as you would get via the official packages
