As you may have know some time ago I have started to work on runltp-ng a script to replace runltp and ltp-pan. The new executor is different in several key aspects, for example: - it can and is supposed to run on a different machine from the system under test (although it still supports running on the same machine) - there are different backends, it can run tests locally, over ssh, or start a VM with qemu - produces different output formats currently html or json We have been using runltp-ng in SUSE for a while and it works for us quite well and I think that we need a larger user base now to iron out all the quirks. So unless someone strongly disagrees I think that it's time to make it officialy supported test executor for LTP. I would like to eventually get rid of runltp and ltp-pan, but if that happens it should be done once everyone switched over to a different solution and it's probably still at least a year or two from now. To remind you the code still lives in my private repository at: https://github.com/metan-ucw/runltp-ng For a start I would like to move the code somewhere to the linux-test-project github just to make it more visible. Does everyone agree to that? Also there are two different options how to do that. Either we put it into runltp-ng directory to the LTP git root or we may as well create a separate repository under the linux-test-project and make it a ltp git submodule. Any preferencies to that? -- Cyril Hrubis chrubis@suse.cz
