Hello, all. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Short summary: PMS Test Suite is a suite of tools and a test library |
| 4 |
to test any of the Gentoo Package Managers for compliance against |
| 5 |
the Package Manager Specification. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The project is running ahead of schedule (as usual :D). This week I |
| 8 |
spent mostly improving gentoopm [1] helper project. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Changes in gentoopm: |
| 11 |
- support for grabbing packages in vardb and repos (+ stacking repos |
| 12 |
in a nice way, allowing to get same CPV from two different repos), |
| 13 |
- getting package metadata, paths, |
| 14 |
- filtering, sorting, selecting packages, |
| 15 |
- creating and filtering using atoms (including 'lazy' ones, without |
| 16 |
category specified). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
All of the above are implemented pretty well for portage, pkgcore |
| 19 |
and paludis, including using optimizations for the latter two. The API |
| 20 |
is supposedly very portable, though limited ATM. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Changes in pms-test-suite: |
| 23 |
- switched to reuse code from gentoopm, |
| 24 |
- added epydoc docs. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Next week should bring: |
| 27 |
- epydoc in gentoopm, |
| 28 |
- package grouping in gentoopm, |
| 29 |
- slight cleanup in pmsts. |
