For formal testing, nobody should be making the symlink manually, and the install should /not/ fail due to a missing lsb dependency. The system under test should already have those. The test 1.3.24-0.2 version is fussier about putting the files in /opt, /etc/opt and /var/opt. This apache listens on a nonstandard port to avoid confl with a possibly already installed webserver. For those who tried the 0.1 version, I found the specfile option to avoid generating the erroneous dependencies that it had, so the 0.2 doesn't do that. I have added a python script which contacts the port, retreives the page, and compares it with a stored expected result. Whether this kind of automation is done using python, perl, links/lynx, or whatever, or the test is done manually by starting a web browser and doing manual inspection, the shortcoming is that it makes the system under test need to provide the appropriate program, and none of them are LSB-mandated program. We touched on that topic a bit in the confcall today. Does that mean that the test should be initated from a different system? Todo: Chris has pointed out that it ought to install and run under a nonstandard user, and there continues to be a pending item to use install_initd and remove_initd to fiddle with a startup script. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subject of "unsubscribe".
