I perferr Debian & Slackware-like upgrades, *.tgz, etc. I think they are more controllable as far as extracting them to somewhere other than / first. Plus, I somewhat like (and dislike) the way Solaris does its upgrade packaging... the base Solaris installation is basically the OS and X/Openwin; but then again, Solaris' installation pretty much is a POS =) I think there should be a base Linux standard install, plus different add-on packages on one CD; with things like the compiler/programming utils, X/apps, GNOME/etc, networking/etc; plus where they are easy to add... I think standards is a good idea... I hate to deal with a zillion different Linux initd configurations of all things. (*cough* redhat) I'm suprised Slackware didn't join in on this yet; they'd be a good contribution... I like how straight forward and simple how thier distro works. I think that should be a big goal.

From ajosey@rdg.opengroup.org (Andrew Josey) Thu Oct 19 13:22:45 2000 From: ajosey@rdg.opengroup.org (Andrew Josey) (Andrew Josey) Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2000 13:22:45 +0100 Subject: LSB test news Message-ID: <1001019122245.ZM28085@skye.rdg.opengroup.org> For your information, we've been busy but keeping it fairly quiet. Here's a roundup of recent developments... * First Milestones Reached for LSB Test Development The first milestone for LSB test development is now complete. This has been in setting up the test framework for integrating tests into. The framework adopted is the Test Environment Toolkit, with the VSXgen (generic VSX test framework) layered on top of that. As proof of concept the first testsets, the LSB-VSX and LSB-FHS testsets have been integrated into the framework Chris Yeoh from Linuxcare has been our key man for integration. For more information on key milestones and proposed future developments see http://www.linuxbase.org/test * Test Results online for Phase I test suites Initial test results from running the Phase I tests are now available online at http://www.linuxbase.org/test/results This is work in progress and some caution should be used in interpreting the results, as both the test suites and some underlying specifications are in a state of flux. * Additional Test Suites made available Additional test suites from The Open Group have been made available and are being integrated into the Linux Standard Base test efforts These include the VSTH lite test suite - for part of the pthreads specification (POSIX Threads), see http://www.opengroup.org/testing/downloads/vsthlite.html and VSC lite for Commands and Utilities. VSC 5.1.1L is a lite version of the full VSC test suite, that is a subset of the full version. It provides test coverage for 77 commands and utilities from the POSIX.2-1992 specification. It is a self contained test package and comes complete with its own version of the Test Environment Toolkit, and distributions of the tcl and expect utilities that are used by the test framework. This release is distributed as a complete release. See http://www.opengroup.org/testing/downloads/vsclite.html * Further Linux Test Suite Development As part of the Phase II developments, efforts are underway to develop a further testset , the LSB-OS test suite, providing further test coverage for the Linux Standard Base. The LSB.OS test set includes test coverage for the following interfaces: 1. X/Open UNIX 98 Extensions to fork, exec, kill 2. Directory routines/files: dev_null,dev_tty,seekdir,telldir 3. Process environment interfaces: chroot, cuserid, nice, putenv, ulimit 4. SVID IPC : msgctl, msgget, msgrcv, msgsnd,semctl, semget, semop, shmat, shmctl, shmdt, shmget, ftok 5. Stream related interfaces: fgetpos, fsetpos 6. Time related interfaces: clock difftime strptime 7. Multibyte: mblen mbstowcs mbtowc memmove wcstombs wctomb 8. POSIX.2 c-language binding: fnmatch glob wordexp getopt system popen pclose 9.Dynamic linking tests: dlopen, dlclose, dlerror 10. Asynchronous I/O: aio_cancel, aio_error, aio_fsync, aio_read, aio_return aio_suspend, aio_write, lio_listio 11. Memory mapped files: mmap, msync, munmap, mprotect 12. Vectored i/o : readv, writev 13. UNIX98 pseudottys: ptsname, granpt 14. File tree walking: nftw, ftw 15. Logging functions: syslog,closelog,openlog 16.Context functions: makecontext, setcontext We are also seeking further parties to fund or develop additional workpackages for supporting the Linux Standard Base testing efforts.
