Dear All, Happy New Year 2008. The Linux Test Project test suite has been released for the month of DECEMBER 2007. The latest version of the test-suite contains 3000+ tests for the Linux OS and can be found at http://ltp.sourceforge.net/. Latest happenings in LTP can also be found at: http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wiki/, http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wikiArchives.php, and, IRC: irc.freenode.org #ltp. Our web site also contains other information such as: - A Linux test tools matrix - Technical papers - How To's on Linux testing - Code coverage analysis tool. Release Highlights: * Real Time Linux Test Cases added, * PIDNAMESPACE Test Cases added, * New NUMA Testcases added, * sendfile05, sendfile06 and sendfile07 for sendfile and sendfile64 syscall new test cases added, * Se-linux Reference Policy Test Cases Updates, and other fixes. Note(s) from the Maintainer: Last month saw huge set of new test cases being added to LTP. Thanks everybody for your contributions. The trend will continue to be the same in Jan 2008 with fallocate, CPU controller and probably dlopen() test cases pouring in. We are also trying to close down the observable Broken test cases behavior in some test cases by Jan 2008 end, and, some infrastructural improvements also. LTP will also see getting more generalized/effective for s390x architecture. Discussion is on with Rusty Russel for increasing LTP code coverage apart from adding new test cases. >From this release onwards we will provide a complete patch which can be applied to the earlier release to arrive at the latest release. Eg: You can apply ltp-full-20071231.patch on ltp-full-20071130 to create ltp-full-20071231. As we move into a new year, we promise to make LTP more effective for testing our dear Linux. We would encourage the community to post results to ltp-results@xxxxxxxxxxxx, patches, new tests, bugs or comments/questions to ltp-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx, http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=103382 (for New Bug(s)), http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=303382 (for New Patch(s)), http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=353382 (for New Feature Request(s)) Please also see the Change Log Attached (DECEMBER 2007): Happy testing, Regards-- Subrata,
