If there are no license issues with LDTP I'd like to see this in the
gate, can we do this for gettext as well?
The whole idea of the GUI automated tests is to encourage all developers
to run these tests in the same way that they can run the CLI tests
today, directly from the gate. The more hurdles we put in place, the
less likely these tests are to be run.
Michal do these tests include your performance benchmarks, it would be
really useful to have these tests as part of the automated suite as well.

Hello,
I would like to ask for an opinion.
I am helping Conny to put automated tests all together for the Package
Manager. Those tests requires three things:
1 Accessibility to be turned on
2 gettext (this is available through the package SUNWgnu-gettext)
3 GNU/Linux Desktop (GUI Application) Testing Project (GNU LDTP)[0]
installed. This is project under LGPL license.
I was looking at the pending/contrib/release/dev/extra repositories
and we don't currently ship LDTP. Here comes my question, how/from
where this should be delivered. It will be used for automated tests,
so developers should have it installed.
I can think of few possibilities:
- IMHO the natural place is to include this as a part of the pkg(5)
gate and do not install this package by default.
- Another possibility is to add script which will check if the
Accessibility is turned on and if the LDTP packages are available and
simply print some instruction how to install this manually and offer
an option to install this automatically using svr4 packages for
Solaris from the LDTP project page.
- Yet another possibility is to put this package in one of the
repositories, but I am not sure if this is the best solution.
Please let me know which option is the best for us.
