hi,
"The Linux™ Test Project is a joint project started by SGI™ and maintained by IBM®, that has a goal to deliver test suites to the open source community that validate the reliability, robustness, and stability of Linux. The LTP testsuite contains a collection of tools for testing the Linux kernel and related features." -----------
In the week leading upto 6.4, Christoph Galuschka and I had started looking at how we might be able to integrate those tests into what we are doing. Since the 6.4 sprint kicked in, we resorted to just running the tests manually; Which worked well. However, I feel its worth putting these tests into the harness we have in place, and making sure they are run whenever we call for 'distro tests' or 'update tests'.
One option is to have the entire suite run as a single tests/r_ltp/ suiet under t_functional; the other is to either have its own suite, we can directly import from upstream, or have it be a part of the t_external/ test suite ( along with the likes of wordpress / drupal and other things ).
Thoughts ?
