[gentoo-qa] testing gentoo

[Marc Doerflinger]

hello folks!

i work for a swiss software company and we are developing a framework 
for automated software testing. therefor we are looking for demo data, 
which we could use for testing and demo purposes of the testing 
framework. we thought we could take some open source project and run 
their tests.
so now to my question, are there tests for gentoo? i suppose the release 
process for gentoo involves testing. are there any automated tests, that 
are accessible somewhere? we would also publish the test results if the 
whole thing works, maybe we would even be able to do this on a daily 
basis (nightly builds), but that depends on the number of tests and the 
hardware we have available here, which we dont know in detail yet.

thanks

cheers
marc

Gentoo does not have any automated tests itself ... we've started adding 
support for tests which come with packages though ...

so if you add the appropriate config option to your make.conf (FEATURES=test), 
then portage will run the bundled test which comes with each package (if the 
package has a test)

i know about the features=test option. i just though there are maybe 
some more tests for the whole base system to see if it works all together.

do you maybe know any good open source project that supplies lots of 
tests with it (we need demo data :-) ). eclipse seems to be quite good, 
there seem to be lots of tests in the cvs, im just checking it out.

I see we have the ebuild in portage (app-benchmarks/ltp), but its a bit
outdated ...
