Anybody have any experience with the Phoronix test suite? http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/
I've seen some praise for it on the WWW but so far my impression is not good. I've pulled both the 2.0.0b2 and the 1.8.1 tarballs (they also offer a .deb but no RPM) onto a fairly standard CentOS5.2 box and tried to rig it up but I'm not having any fun. The core scripts (all written in PHP) generate error messages that seem to indicate they're not ready for primetime. When I said to "install-all" it seems to choke on some of the test bundles it pulls over the wire; many of them require compilation from source, most of them spew rafts of warnings during their builds and a few of the builds fail to complete. Also, I think it may have yum'd in some packages without so much as a by-your-leave, which is rather rude. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
