Note(s) from the Maintainer:
LTP has seen heightened activity in the month of Nov 2007. Thanks for
your efforts and contributions. Steps taken to improve LTP
infrastructure in various dimensions has seen efforts becoming fruitful.
We have added HTML output and auto-mail back option this month. We will
continue to work on XML output in coming days and also evaluate and
finally integrate auto build of kernel and test to LTP in future. New
test cases will continue to get added from community and soon we will
start to investigate all existing test cases for their overall
effectiveness in functionality testing. Your support to improve LTP is
extremely essential and i am expecting more support from you on this.
