@ -187,6 +187,48 @@ you will have to combine it with a `force-hint`. However, please read
the warning in the documentation for `force-hint` before you do this.
force-badtest `<action list>`
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ignore the autopkgtest regressions for the items in `<action list>`. This hint
acts on the tests that are part of the source package of those items (in
contrast to `force-skiptest`). It basically marks a particular test as not
useful for the autopkgtest policy, e.g. because they are flaky. All items in
the `<action list>` must be versioned items (potentially versioned 'all').
The effect of this hint is not limited to the items listed in `<action list>`:
this hint influences how autopkgtest regressions are treated for all the
dependencies of the items in `<action list>`. The hint only influences the
treatment of the tests that are part of the source packages listed in `<action
list>`. If the dependencies trigger regressions in autopkgtests that are part
of source packages not listed in `<action list>`, this hint will not affect
those, so they can still cause items not to migrate.
This hint does not guarantee that any item will migrate, it merely influences
how an autopkgtest regression is treated. Migration can still be blocked or
delayed for other reasons (like age, dependencies, piuparts regressions, etc).
force-skiptest `<action list>`
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ignore the autopkgtest regressions for the items in `<action list>`. This hint
acts on all the tests that are triggered to test the items in the `<action
list>`, but only when evaluting those items (in contrast to `force-badtest`).
It disables autopkgtest policy from blocking items from the `<action list>`.
All items in the `<action list>` must be versioned items.
The effect of this hint is limited to the items listed in `<action list>`. Any
autopkgtest result that would otherwise affect the migration of these items,
will be ignored for these items only. These tests can still affect the
migration of other items.
This hint guarantees that the listed items will not be blocked or delayed by
autopkgtest regression, but it does not guarantee that any item will migrate.
Migration can still be blocked or delayed for other reasons (like age,
dependencies, piuparts regressions, etc).
