[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Support for running tests on a different machine (Discussion #2884)

[Demi Marie Obenour]

To the best of my understanding, cross-compilation currently is incompatible with running test suites, unless one uses QEMU or other pure-software emulation mechanisms.  These cause problems with code that depends on CPU features.

At the same time, the rise of languages such as Rust and C++, which require more CPU and RAM during build, is making it very difficult to natively compile on slow processors.

One potential solution would be for RPM to support running the test suite remotely, or at least in a separate step.
