It makes 'make check' (and with that, 'make distcheck', etc.) fail if the pactest script returns anything but zero. I've had this change in a local branch for ages, but we need something else- a way to indicate known failure in pactest so we can (at least temporarily) continue on when our 5 or 6 known failures happen.
Is it possible to just go ahead with that for now or not? Would it be a problem if make check failed, even if they are all known failures? I am afraid I don't know much about make check / make distcheck / etc, so I am asking. I think it would be neat to be able to write a very simple bisect script checking for a specific pactest failure, that is, being able to just put pactest/pactest.py -p src/pacman/pacman -t /path/to/pactest in the bisect script, and it would simply work.
