dbus with tests

In the process of updating dbus, tests (in my opinion) are mandatory.

While compiling dbus with tests, dbus and dbus-glib are needed. To
compile dbus-glib, dbus is needed (obviously). The only solution (to
compile dbus with tests) that i found is to create a new recipe named
dbus-tests where to compile dbus with --enable-tests
--enable-embedded-tests, skip write to sysroot (noexec) and just package
dbus-tests.

1. Do you guys know a better solution for this?
2. What would be a good path to use for installing tests?

We have started to think/chat about this, there was another patch on the 
list recently that Mark Hatle and I talked about tests.

I think having the tests enabled with DISTRO_FEATURE would allow for the 
flexibility of enabling then without always incurring the cost /overhead 
of longer compile times.

Can you incorporate the changes to the core recipe with out having to 
add a new dbus-tests recipe if you use DISTRO_FEATURE?

Same here, disucssion started.I would like to see tests go into 
${datadir}/${BPN} (/usr/share/${BPN}.  /opt was discussed, but I think 
we want to leave that clean and empty.

$datadir is not for executables, but for data

/opt is for 3rd party binary-only stuff, it should *never* show up in a system package.

As Koen as said in another mail i don't think there is another option than
creating another recipe and we could add RDEPENDS to dbus if DISTRO_FEATURE
contains dbus-tests.

Binaries and scripts?

It's actually the only solution that would work :)

$bindir or $libexecdir IMO

Not bindir please!  Tests should live separate,

If it;s going to be libexecdir, really should be $libdir/$BPN as we want 
to move way from having things live in /usr/libexec, and yes with time 
$libexecdir will be $prefix/lib/$BPN.

I wanted to suggest libdir/BPN, but since that's one of those new-fangled things adopted by systemd I thought people would have a knee-jerk reaction, kinda like the big players threatening to back out of yocto if systemd ends up in oe-core.

Debian's (and others) been using /usr/lib/$package instead of
/usr/libexec since, well, forever.
