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. |

User-perspective news: |
| 10 |
- some docs on the test library format, |
| 11 |
- paludis support, |
| 12 |
- support for running without Manifests (except for paludis), |
| 13 |
- now HTML docs are complete and syntax-highlighted, |
| 14 |
- ability to pass the test list on the command line, |
| 15 |
- D-Bus service config file is installed now as well. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Technical news: |
| 18 |
- use of abstract classes, |
| 19 |
- removal of setgid() magic -- repos are now world-readable, |
| 20 |
- a nice VDB API, |
| 21 |
- few fixes, polishes, |
| 22 |
- Python module renamed to all-lowercase. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
New tests: |
| 25 |
- INHERITED variable test, |
| 26 |
- RDEPEND=DEPEND fallback test, |
| 27 |
- DEFINED_PHASES, PDEPEND, |
| 28 |

| 29 |
- variable scoping test. |

The next week I'm having two hard exams, thus I won't be able to spend |
| 32 |
that much work on pmsts. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Nearest future should bring: |
| 35 |
- more docs, |
| 36 |
- a few more simple tests, |
| 37 |
- the first versioned release (for testing and feedback), |
| 38 |
- re-definition of EAPIs in tests (to distinguish between 'useful' |
| 39 |
and 'supported' EAPIs). |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Then I'd like to proceed with eclass tests. |
