Subject: [bug#74394] [PATCH 1/2] build: Exclude expensive tests in check target by default.
Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2024 21:21:46 +0900

This reduces the test time of 'make -j check' from ~22 minutes to a bit more than one
minute on a fast machine.

* Makefile.am [CAN_RUN_TESTS] (check-local): New target.
* tests/guix-home.sh: Skip unless WITH_SLOW_TESTS is 1.
* tests/guix-package.sh: Likewise.
* tests/guix-system.sh: Likewise.
* tests/guix-time-machine.sh: Exclude one command.
