(title (en "New @option{--without-tests} transformation option"))
(body
(en "The new @option{--without-tests} package transformation option
instructs Guix to skip the test suite of a given package. In the example
below, @code{guile-gcrypt} is built using a variant of @code{automake} itself
built without running its (lengthy) test suite:
@example
guix build guile-gcrypt --without-tests=automake
@end example
This is primarily useful as a way to speed up development cycles, or to work
around flaky test suites---skipping tests can hide real issues, so use with
care. Run @command{info \"(guix) Package Transformation Options\"} for more
info.")))
