Hi Ian, It is great to have such a tool being developed. I had been working some time ago on a set of bash tools called revu-tools, which was originally developed for the REVU Q&A system for universe packages. Maybe some of the things in it could be used for autopkgtest. If you have any question about it, please contact me :) Regards, Raphaël <div>On 3/5/07, Ian Jackson <<a href="mailto:ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk">ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Scott James Remnant writes ("Re: autopkgtest - automated package testing"): > They both follow GNU standard conventions and the test suite is run with > "make check" from a built source tree. > > How would these be integrated into autopkgtest? This is a good question which unfortunately doesn't have a straightforward answer. `make check' runs the just-built software in the build tree.  You need to override it somehow to make it run the installed version of the program. AFAIAA there is not generally a standard way used by `make check' to make the program use executables, libraries, helper scripts, etc., from the build tree - so there is no standard way to override that either. Which two packages ?  I'd be happy to take a quick look and suggest approaches.
