-## When building under jenkins, pulseuadio fails to start as there is no
-## /run/user tree, HOME directory is missing, and similar issues. So here
-## we check that we are the jenkins user, and avoid the integration tests,
-## until such time in future when we can run these tests in some different
-## manner to avoid needing to run pulseaudio in this way.
