With a lot of help by kendy done. Repository is now at
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/cppunit. I also tagged several
of the last releases so that you get them easily if needed.
I added some of our own patches and will now have a look how to
integrate the needed functions. Talk to me if you think that we are
missing a cppunit feature for testing Libreoffice. The point I want to
implement for our internal tests is a setUp/tearDown method per
Fixture/Suite/TestClass ( extremelly important for all tests based on
BootstrapFixture[Base])
So, what is our general plan here? Is the below accurate?
1 Add new code to freedesktop.org/libreoffice/cppunit.
2 Make a cppunit-1.13.0 release from there (last release from its old
sourceforge home is 1.12.1).
3 Make LO pull external cppunit-1.13.0 tgz from
freedesktop.org/libreoffice/cppunit (instead of cppunit-1.12.1 tgz
backed up at http://dev-www.libreoffice.org/src), adapt configure.in to
require cppunit 1.13.0 (instead of 1.12.0).
3.1 Adpate LO unit tests to make use of new cppunit features.
3.2 Tell people building LO --with-system-cppunit (incl. distro
packagers) that they need to upgrade their system's cppunit from the old
sourceforge to the new freedesktop or use --without-system-cppunit.
3.3 Convince distro packagers to switch from the old sourceforge to the
new freedesktop.
