From: Andrew Josey <ajosey@rdg.opengroup.org> To: lwn@lwn.net Subject: LSB-FHS2.2beta test suite available Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2001 15:14:09 +0100 Dear LWN, I thought this announcement might be of interest. best regards Andrew ====================================== LSB-FHS2.2beta release now available The beta release of the LSB-FHS test suite for FHS2.2, for the filesystem hierarchy aspects of the Linux Standard Base is now available from ftp://ftp.xopen.org/pub/lsb/test_suites/. (the sourceforge server is giving us problems) The key files to download are: ftp://ftp.xopen.org/pub/lsb/test_suites/beta/README.LSB-FHS2.2beta ftp://ftp.xopen.org/pub/lsb/test_suites/install.sh ftp://ftp.xopen.org/pub/lsb/test_suites/tet_vsxgen_1.0.tgz ftp://ftp.xopen.org/pub/lsb/test_suites/beta/lts_lsb-fhs2.2beta.tgz We are keen to receive as much feedback as possible on this release and plan to make an update at the end of the month. The test suite only takes 20 minutes or less to configure install and run. Please send any feedback to lsb-test@linuxbase.org. This release aligns with the FHS version 2.2 specification. There are seven new tests added over previous releases. See the revised test specification included in the MAN directory for further information on the detailed changes with this release. No claims of compliance should be made at this stage, this is still beta software, subject to change. The release notes follow below. ================================================== The Open Group LSB-FHS Release 2.2beta Release Notes This document provides Release notes for the Verification suite for the Filesystem Hierarchy aspects of the Linux Standard Base. 1. Release Overview LSB-FHS 2.2beta is a beta release of this test suite. LSB-FHS is built using the VSXgen (the generic VSX test framework), and contains tests for the Filesystem Hierarchy aspects of the Linux Standard Base. This test suite has not yet been adopted by the Linux Standard Base team and no claims should be made of LSB conformance to this version of the test suite. The test assertions being tested are in the file MAN/LSB-FHS-TS_SPEC_V1.0. 1.1 Changes since the last release The following changes have been made since the last release: Alignment with FHS2.2. 2. Release Contents The release consists of the following files. README.LSB-FHS2.2 A Readme file lsb-fhs-relnote.txt These release notes lts_lsb-fhs2.2beta.tgz The source code to the suite in gzip'd tar format 3. Obtaining TET and VSXgen LSB-FHS runs under TET3. A suitable version of TET3 (the unsupported release of TETware) can be obtained at: ftp://ftp.xopen.org/pub/lsb/test_suites/tet_vsxgen_1.0.tgz TET3 must be configured to build as the Lite version . Do not use the Distributed version. For more information on TET , see http://tetworks.opengroup.org . 4. Support Support related questions and problem reports should be directed to by email to ajosey(at)rdg.opengroup.org. 5. Size The size of LSB-FHS when the suite is built is approximately 10MB. The size of the compressed distribution is roughly 1 MB. When running the complete test suite, journal files will be produced that are typically less than 1MB in length, so its recommended that at least 20MB of disk space be allowed for a test campaign. 6. Time The test suite takes approximately 30 minutes to run depending on the speed of the platform under test Prepared by The Open Group See the Licence file included in the distribution for licensing information.
