Florian,
What do you think of making a 'fastcheck' that can run all tests which have
timeouts less than or equal to the default timeout?
My idea here is as follows:
- 'make fastcheck' is for developer smoke testing during edit/build/test cycle.
- 'make check' if for broader developer testing, and will, if required, update
the chroot for container testing (would have fixed Rafal's observed breakage).
- 'make xcheck' runs everything including the expensive tests and tests requiring
explicit permissions.
Then you could switch your workflow to using 'fastcheck'?
This is one part of fixing the workflow.
The other part is actually fixing 'make' to go faster, but DJ and I talked about
this recently and DJ has some ideas.

Carlos.
