[LTP] Goals and milestones

[LTP] Goals and milestones

[Garrett Cooper]

Hi Subrata,
     After being away from FOSS for a while I'm going to jump back in  
a bit to get some work done in my personal time that aligns itself  
with deliverables at Cisco. Here's the breakdown in terms of priorities:
1. Ltp crosscompile makefile push completion - need this to resolve  
several issues with the current hacked make system and expedite  
upgrades on our end. Hard goal: before July snapshot is released  
(several items are dependent on a functioning upgrade). I will commit  
in small, discrete patches to get the work done quicker, but I'll need  
a makefile reviewer.
2. Catepault work. This aligns itself with 1., but isn't directly tied  
into 1.'s deliverable. Maybe October.
3. tst_res -> testreport replacement. Needs to take place somewhere  
around 2.'s deliverable because we need a more license neutral and  
equivalent, if not cleaner, means of doing test reporting to improve  
whitebox testing inhouse. I'd say before Thanksgiving.
4. Upstart whitebox tests - I originally suggested this thinking that  
there would be one Upstart release train, but Scott's maintaining  
several, so I think it may be a better idea to omit these tests and  
focus instead on exporting the graybox tests I'm working on inhouse at  
Cisco as they are more portable and have more overall value. I'm  
thinking maybe January or february of next year.

Hope that better describes where I'm at and what goals i'm trying to  
accomplish.

Thanks,
-Garrett

I'm currently working on cleaning ltp build system and quite big part of the
ltp in my tree is fixed. I'll send patch with preview here soon.

Basically it implements Makefile.include where all definitions are in one place
and removes all hacks in Makefiles as well as speeds up building.

Great to hear back from you. Your plan looks good to me. However, i
would like to complete the Makefiles stuff this year itself. I know its
quite tedious. May be i would also pitch in to help you post my Linux
Symposium 2009 in July 2009.

Nathan has already been helping us. So, we would get help from him and
Mike as well. I need to bring back Mike as well for more LTP
involvement. Mike, what do you say ;-)
