autopkgtest

Run tests on Debian packages. More information: https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/autopkgtest/autopkgtest.1.en.html.

• Build the package in the current directory and run all tests directly on the system:

autopkgtest -- {{null}}

• Run a specific test for the package in the current directory:

autopkgtest --test-name={{test_name}} -- {{null}}

• Download and build a specific package with apt-get, then run all tests:

autopkgtest {{package}} -- {{null}}

• Test the package in the current directory using a new root directory:

autopkgtest -- {{chroot}} {{path/to/new/root}}

• Test the package in the current directory without rebuilding it:

autopkgtest {{[-B|--no-built-binaries]}} -- {{null}}
