There is a 0.0.2 version on its way to Incoming. Documentation is a bit limited (i.e. almost non-existent ;-), but there are a couple of feeble test scripts included in the package, and you can see a more useful example of a test script included in the rsync package. If both debian-test and rsync are installed, and you run debian-test -a it will run the built-in default tests and the rsync test. Other packages just need to drop their tests into the same place as rsync (i.e. /usr/lib/debian-test/tests/<package-name>) If you've got tests that cannot be included in a package for some reason, mail them to me, and I'll stick them in debian-test. Obviously, there's loads of room for improvement on debian-test, so any suggestions would be of interest. Cheers, Phil.
