Hi all, I'd like your feedback on what we can do to automate testing of sbase/ubase (or whether we should in fact do it at all).
I am not sure we really want this and the fact that sbase/ubase is comprised of many little tools with little state shared between the translation units we might as well argue that if a test passes it will continue to pass as long as someone does not touch that particular tool or the small library we have in util/. In particular I've discovered a lot of bugs in sbase simply by trying to use it as part of the init scripts in my toy distro. Similarly, I've found bugs by adding sbase to the PATH and using it in place of any other tools on my system. So the question is, do you think we should do any sort of automated testing, like a simple tests/ dir with shell scripts for each tool, returning 0 on success 1 on failure and then just iterating over those? I am leaning towards a no here, but I'd like to ask for your opinion as well. bye, sin
