There were some heated discussions on the Mailing list some time back, where i was trying to co-ordinate with some of the other specific test projects, who write/maintain some specific test cases - AUDIT being one of them. While they denied moving the maintainence of AUDIT tests through LTP CVS (I proposed them that they can continue to work for AUDIT tests development through LTP as that will benefit lot of people), but agreed on allowing us to release the latest AUDIT tests through LTP releases as well. The logic of only making the AUDIT tests available through LTP-FULL-PACKAGE is the same as other sub tests suites like the Open Posix and Open HPI being released - providing a common place where other Linux Kernel tests are also available apart from LTP specific stuff. Now you can see some advantage. Open Posix is no more maintained in it´s original place. But people use it and we are happy to maintain and fix lots of issues from within LTP. Now, sometime down the line, somebody wakes up from slumber and decides to do some aggressive work on it, they can straightaway pick up the stuff from what is in LTP.
