This is now available at http://www.opengroup.org/testing/lsb-fhs/ This release aligns with the FHS version 2.3 specification. There are a number of new tests added over previous releases. See the revised test specification included in the MAN directory for further information on the detailed changes with this release. The test suite only takes 20 minutes or less to configure install and run. Please send any feedback to ajosey:opengroup-dot-org. The release notes follow below. ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Open Group LSB-FHS Release 2.3beta Release Notes This document provides Release notes for the Verification suite for the Filesystem Hierarchy aspects of the Linux Standard Base. 1. Release Overview LSB-FHS 2.3beta is a full beta release of this test suite. LSB-FHS is built using the VSXgen (the generic VSX test framework), and contains tests for the Filesystem Hierarchy aspects of the Linux Standard Base. This test suite has not yet been adopted by the Linux Standard Base team and no claims should be made of LSB conformance to this version of the test suite. The test assertions being tested are in the file MAN/LSB-FHS-TS_SPEC_V1.0. This release is targeted for testing the LSB 2.x specification release series and is not for use with LSB 1.3 or earlier. 1.1 Changes since the last release The following changes have been made since the last release: Full alignment with FHS2.3. Bug fix changes have been made. There are numerous changes associated with this release, please read the test assertions document , which has been fully revised and the assertions renumbered for the FHS2.3 specification. Many of the type C Assertions now report UNSUPPORTED when an FHS option is not supported. In a small number of cases tests may return a FIP (Further information provided code), meaning that they should be manually resolved. The number of test cases for /dev is reduced to three existence tests for /dev/tty, /dev/zero and /dev/null. A small number of new tests have been added for new sections in FHS 2.3: /media, /srv, /lib64 and /lib32 (where applicable) 2. Release Contents The release consists of the following files. README.LSB-FHS2.3 A Readme file lsb-fhs-relnote.txt These release notes lts_lsb-fhs2.3beta.tgz The source code to the suite in gzip'd tar format 3. Obtaining TET and VSXgen LSB-FHS runs under TET3 and VSXgen (the generic test framework built upon The Open Group's Test Environment Toolkit) . A suitable version of the merged TET3/VSXgen release can be obtained from the same location as this release note. TET3 must be configured to build as the Lite version . Do not use the Distributed version. If you use the provided "install.sh" installation wrapper this will be configured automatically. For more information on TET, and TETware Professional , see http://tetworks.opengroup.org . 4. Support Support related questions and problem reports should be directed to by email to lsb-test:linuxbase-dot-org 5. Size The size of LSB-FHS when the suite is built is approximately 10MB. The size of the compressed distribution is roughly 1 MB. When running the complete test suite, journal files will be produced that are typically less than 1MB in length, so its recommended that at least 20MB of disk space be allowed for a test campaign. 6. Time The test suite takes approximately 30 minutes to run depending on the speed of the platform under test Prepared by The Open Group See the Licence file included in the distribution for licensing information.

I noticed that CodeSourcery did some initial work on this back in 2002 and 2003, but that it was never the official test mechanism for testing. DejaGnu is what appears to still be official. As far as I am aware, nothing other than what we have going on has or is being done in this area. What is your source of information on the C++ ABI testsuite being QMTest 2.1.1? Please let me know specifics if you have that knowledge and I will follow up.

In the two times it's run, it has not collected sufficient enrollment to justify running it again. (labs/tutorials cost extra; you either buy them individually, or buy a platinum pass which gets you into two labs/tutorials in addition to the rest of the show). I believe we need to continue a presence at Linux World especially as we're making a push to get out LSB 2.0 with C++ and to recruit application vendors. So I'm asking for thoughts on what sort of talks we could do. We'll probably propose the "LSB - The Road Ahead" talk that Stuart has done before, and which of course is updated each time. Is there anything else we ought to be presenting? This could include a tutorial if it wasn't the same topic as the past one. (Oh, and we have less than a week to come up with this).

(Oh, and we have > less than a week to come up with this). How about doing a talk instead of a tutorial? I've given a couple of talks about how to build lsb compliant applications - the latest at Linux.conf.au earlier this year was quite popular. So its not hands on, but I do go through where they can find more information and do a short case study of the sorts of problems they'll run into. Given Linuxworld conferences aren't that technical, perhaps a bit more emphasis on why developers should be interested in becoming LSB compliant?

Only concern is that IDG may thing we've done to death (unsuccessfully) the LSB Porting topic. Something like this is probably the best bet, especially if pitched a little more to the business side.

They have in the past donated vmware licenses (both standard workstation and gsx server) to the Samba project. So firstly it looks like if we think they would be useful we might be able to get some free licenses. I think GSX server could be especially useful for machines such as build0-ia32 - we could have copies of the major distributions (and maybe a couple of versions of each) to test on. Secondly, they are looking for sample "images" to ship with vmware. This seems to me to be a great opportunity to have the LSB sample implementation very widely distributed (we might have to do a bit of work to get it to boot in vmware ?). This would make it easier for ISVs to test their apps in the SI. Comments?

I enjoyed a free license until last year when my @xfree86.org address mysteriously stopped working. > So firstly it looks like if we think they would be useful we might be > able to get some free licenses.

Yes, GSX server does sound interesting. It might be easier to set up than using multiple umls. > Secondly, they are looking for sample "images" to ship with vmware. > This seems to me to be a great opportunity to have the LSB sample > implementation very widely distributed (we might have to do a bit of > work to get it to boot in vmware ?).
