I'm forwarding a note from Andrew Josey relating the current state of the LSB test suite located on sourceforge.net.
The only people actively working on the test suites right now are Andrew and Dale Scheetz, but it's now at the point where more people can start getting involved, running the test suite, adding to it, etc. - Dan ------- start of cut text -------------- From: Andrew Josey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: LSB conference call - February 16th Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 07:26:42 GMT hi Dan The current status is as follows: The basic framework layers have been imported into sourceforge These are the TET (test environment toolkit) framework layer VSXgen - a generic framework part of the VSX test suite into which you can plug testsets into VSX-PCTS testset has been imported (for POSIX.1) the LSB-FHS testset has been imported (for FHS) We're just updating the TET version to the latest, and need to make a fix to it, for some changes in the g++ compiler that blow up on one prototype The LSB-FHS testset needs to be updated for the final FHS 2.1 Looking at the output of the SQL database it seems we should be able to get some binary level tests for the c compilation system automatically generated We need to do some coverage analysis of what remains, and identify lumps of test coverage that could be split out into work items. Later on, we'll need to consider whether the final test suites for certification will be binary versions of these suites, built on the reference implementation, or whether we builds from source are allowed, we would always supply the source for reference, but there are some merits for having an ABI test suite supplied as a binary. For example the C compilation system tests can be built using a reference set of headers built from the SQL database, and hence known to be clean. Hope that helps regards Andrew ------- end ----------------------------
