[LTP] [ANNOUNCE] The Linux Test Project has been released for JANUARY 2017
Good news everyone, the Linux Test Project test suite stable release for *January 2017* has been released. Since the last release 211 patches by 28 authors were merged. Notable changes: o New testcases for: - flistxattr() - listxattr() - llistxattr() - getpriority() - setpriority() - sendto() - dirtyc0w - vti and geneve tunnel tests (network tests) o New shell test library was added and many old and broken tests were rewritten to make use of it o 36 syscall testcases were converted to the new library o Many cases of bashism were fixed o Experimental support for network namespaces has been added into network tests, which means that these test can now be optionally executed on a single testing machine o LTP compiled for 32bit should now run flawlessly on 64bit kernel which is useful for testing the 32bit compat syscall interface + Usuall amount of cleanups, fixes and speedups. Another bit worth mentioning is that LTP now uses travis to compile test latest git head. The latest version of the test-suite contains 3000+ tests for the Linux and can be downloaded at: https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/releases/tag/20170116 The project pages as well as GIT repository are hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp http://linux-test-project.github.io/ If you ever wondered how to write LTP testcase, don't miss documentation at: https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/Test-Writing-Guidelines https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/BuildSystem Patches, new tests, bugs, comments or questions should go to to our mailing list at l...@lists.linux.it. -- Cyril Hrubis chru...@suse.cz
