Hi,
It would be nice if gnomemm avoided building his tests by default,
it’s just seconds, or minutes, but this is useless for end users
since they are not installed.

Exactly what module do you mean?

But I don't see the point of saving a few seconds worth of build time. End users shouldn't be building from source. And if gentoo is disabling tests during builds then they are just making it more likely that their users will have problems that could have been detected.
