LTP has moved quite long time ago to git, hosted on github (including wiki):
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp
New wiki:
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki

LTP is (as the name suggests) quite the Linux kernel specific, although there are parts,
which are POSIX related (open POSIX test suite). Do you want to work on NetBSD support for
LTP or work generally on LTP?

TFAIL: would mean test failed.
