This package is quite obnoxious to install downstream, particularly for distro packages that try to test that they are actually working. Testing this package requires things that require itself.
- booleanOperations requires fontpens to test
- fontpens requires fontparts to test
- fontparts requires booleanOperations to build
And we're back at the beginning.
Given that this is a pretty low level building block, I suggest it is unfair to expect downstream packages that rely on this package in order to test itself. That's kind of like integration testing, but with a dose of Inception built in.
Instead please come up with a way to test that the building blocks in this package do what they are documented to do that doesn't involve downstream packages using them.
