What I vaguely had in mind was making an aboriginal linux control-image that could run the test suite in a system image under qemu. Meanwhile you can check if you're running as root [ "$(id -u)" -ne 0 ] and skip categories of tests that only work as root. In a previous life I wrote test infrastructure that automatically set up a chroot through recursive use of "ldd": http://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=4bb1b04f And a wrapper script that ran user mode linux copying the host's root filesystem, with a given shell script as the init script: http://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=dcb2122e853ab4b82e0baf44f7110 Rob -- GNU/Linux isn't: Linux=GPLv2, GNU=GPLv3+, they can't share code. Either it's "mere aggregation", or a license violation. Pick one. _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
