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 basically running on schedule, though docs are getting |
| 8 |
a little delayed. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
New technical details: |
| 11 |
- cloning of most of the test class properties to simplify mangling |
| 12 |
them in test instances, |
| 13 |
- _finalize() function for tests to do final modifications to test |
| 14 |
objects (like adding inherited phase func calls when a particular |
| 15 |
phase func is provided), |
| 16 |
- ebuild DESCRIPTIONs are generated from docstrings now, |
| 17 |
- a revised PackageManager API with delayed (transactional) package |
| 18 |
merge and unmerge support, |
| 19 |
- a revised TestCase API which calls pm.merge()/.unmerge() directly (to |
| 20 |
give tests more control, like over unmerging test dependencies in |
| 21 |
.clean()). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
New use details: |
| 24 |
- fixed runtime environment issues with portage, |
| 25 |
- added tests for dependency resolution (with a succeeding and failing |
| 26 |
dependencies). |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Current bugs: |
| 29 |
- exceptions raised in main loop callbacks don't cause the program |
| 30 |
to exit. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Next week should bring: |
| 33 |
- docs explaining particular tests, |
| 34 |
- hopefully, paludis support, |
| 35 |
- next tests. |
| 36 |
