<screen revision='sysv'><userinput>mkdir build &amp;&amp;

    <!-- For some reason, on elogind, all tests passed. 8 failed on systemd.
         It could be kernel configuration, or any other package change.
         umockdev might be needed, but it works fine without it on elogind. -->

      To check the results, execute: <command>ninja test</command>. Note that
      you must have <application>python-dbusmock</application> installed in
      order for the tests to complete successfully. Some tests in the "power"
      testsuite may fail depending on the init system in use.
