Hi Randy,

Good catch! You're absolutely right - the bash dependency was unnecessary.

I've removed the RDEPENDS on bash. Patch v2 is sent separately.

Thanks for the review!

Best Regards,
Pratik

Subject: Re: [OE-core][PATCH v1] libconfig: add ptest support

Hi Pratik,

On 2026-01-28 9:06 a.m., Pratik Farkase via lists.openembedded.org wrote:

Add ptest support to enable automated testing of libconfig
using ptest-runner.

Nice, thanks.



The implementation uses libtool --mode=install to properly
install test binaries, avoiding issues with libtool wrapper
scripts. Tests are built via 'make check TESTS=' to compile
without running during the build phase.

The test suite includes 16 tests covering parsing, formatting,
binary/hex values, escaped strings, and various edge cases.
All tests pass successfully on qemux86-64 :

Why do you need bash rather than any posix shell?
We run the ptests in a minimal environment so if busybox shell works, please 
drop this.

If not, please either remove the bash dependency or explain it in the commit 
log.

Thanks,

../Randy
