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. |

As I mentioned earlier, this was a very busy week at the uni, so I |
| 8 |
couldn't spend so many time on the project as I wanted to. I'm still |
| 9 |
ahead of the original schedule, although I didn't complete all |
| 10 |
of the plans for this week -- I failed to add additional tests. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
This week brought: |
| 13 |
- checking whether the old test unmerge actually succeeded, |
| 14 |
- support for gid&umask handling to ensure userpriv-friendliness, |
| 15 |
- initial pkgcore support (though relying on repoman), |
| 16 |
- support for referencing the test repository by name (instead of path), |
| 17 |
- support for limiting the number of packages passed to a single PM |
| 18 |
call (either specified by user or by PM, if `--keep-going' |
| 19 |
is unsupported). |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
As for non-code efforts: |
| 22 |
- I wrote a blog entry about passing data from tests to the suite [1], |
| 23 |
- started submitting another patch to the PMS [2] (I forgot to mention |
| 24 |
the first one which got already applied [3]). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Next week should bring: |
| 27 |
- some docs on test library format (structure?), |
| 28 |
- finally some other test. |
| 29 |
|

I'm not adding more plans for the week as my uni is going to take me |
| 31 |
a lot of time. |
