Emacs packages should preferably use the Emacs build system
(@pxref{emacs-build-system}), for uniformity and the benefits provided
by its build phases, such as the auto-generation of the autoloads file
and the byte compilation of the sources. Because there is no
standardized way to run a test suite for Emacs packages, tests are
disabled by default. When a test suite is available, it should be
enabled by setting the @code{#:tests?} argument to @code{#true}. By
default, the command to run the test is @command{make check}, but any
command can be specified via the @code{#:test-command} argument. The
@code{#:test-command} argument expects a list containing a command and
its arguments, to be invoked during the @code{check} phase.
and the byte compilation of the sources.
The Elisp dependencies of Emacs packages are typically provided as
@code{propagated-inputs} when required at run time. As for other
