Hello, all.

Short summary: PMS Test Suite is a suite of tools and a test library
to test any of the Gentoo Package Managers for compliance against
the Package Manager Specification.

The project is basically running on schedule, though docs are getting
a little delayed.

New technical details:
- cloning of most of the test class properties to simplify mangling
  them in test instances,
- _finalize() function for tests to do final modifications to test
  objects (like adding inherited phase func calls when a particular
  phase func is provided),
- ebuild DESCRIPTIONs are generated from docstrings now,
- a revised PackageManager API with delayed (transactional) package
  merge and unmerge support,
- a revised TestCase API which calls pm.merge()/.unmerge() directly (to
  give tests more control, like over unmerging test dependencies in
  .clean()).

New use details:
- fixed runtime environment issues with portage,
- added tests for dependency resolution (with a succeeding and failing
  dependencies).

Current bugs:
- exceptions raised in main loop callbacks don't cause the program
  to exit.

Next week should bring:
- docs explaining particular tests,
- hopefully, paludis support,
- next tests.
