Description Juro Bystricky 2017-11-08 18:56:12 UTC 
"ptest-runner" may run some identical tests more than once, see for example
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Ptest_65d23bd7986615fdfb0f1717b615534a2a14ab80

where "perl" and "perl5" test suite is the same. The reason is "perl5" is a symlink to "perl", but ptest-runner does not detect identical cases when enumerating all test cases.

This may not seem as a big deal, but running the ptest for perl takes at least 10 minutes on a fast machine when running under KVM, and a lot longer without KVM.
