From: Amos Shapira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [Statement about the Linux POSIX compliance effort] > Does the main figures in the Debian community have anything to say about > this? Do you intend to cooperate in this important effort?
I just uploaded the POSIX.1 test suite to our master site. It will show up tonight in ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/project/misc/NIST-PCTS_151-2.tar.gz NIST decided to make the suite available without charge. The Debian Project most heartily applauds this decision. In fact we most heartily jump up and down with glee and cheer unabashedly. My plan is to package the POSIX.1 test suite so that any user can run it and independently verify the POSIX.1 compliance of his/her system. For this, we need volunteers. So far, Klee Dienes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has said he'd look at it but hasn't made a committment. We need more people to look at and work on this. Please volunteer if you can. I don't know anything about the XPG4 test suite. Is it available to us?
