Hi Esteban, I had a look at the testsuite.
It basically fulfill my requirements: * I'm able to read the results of the testsuite * I'm able to write tests Just a few things (not really related to the test environment, but more on the current tests) * can you mention the dependencies of the testsuite (the check and libtest-unit-perl packages), in a README file * I would like to see the testsuite able to test builds done from a subversion working directory (objects and binaries are compiled in the build-tree directory) * libdpkg.a is not in ../lib * dpkg-scanpackages should be ../script/dpkg-scanpackages.pl (it may require some changes to be runnable from the source directory) Currently, on my system, the dpkg-scanpackages test check the dpkg-multicd implementation. Is the testsuite intended to be run at build time, or manually? I would like to see it in the dpkg repository, I don't think it's necessary to distribute it with the source package. If it does not interfer with the current build (does not change the source & binary packages), it would be nice to have it in trunk, otherwise in a separate branch. It could be nice to play with the testsuite during the freeze. Kind Regards, -- Nekral -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
