Hello,
I would like to get the opinion of this list on some tests paths
changes.
Currently, many tests are located in the misc/ directory. For about 39
of the binaries, there are more than one test.
I propose that for these binaries, we should move these tests into their
own specific directories.
For example, tests/misc/tty-eof.pl and tests/misc/tty.sh into tests/tty/
This change would help us more easily identify which tests need to be
run for each program.
I have already prepared the patches needed for this change. As an
example, I've attached the first one in the stack.
I think this is better in the long run.
Over time we've been moving from larger perl scripts
to individual shell scripts for tests, as the latter
are more representative of how the coreutils are usually used.
If you send the patches to me, I'll squash and merge.
caveats to note are that some scripts do test multiple utils.
You can key off print_ver_ to identify utils being tested,
which shows the current distribution like:
What would you prefer to do when it is the case?
For example, tests/misc/uniq-collate.sh has
"print_ver_ uniq printf"
Still move it in uniq or keeping in misc?
Thanks
Cheers,
