This includes any POSIX tests. The LTP would not be advertised as a POSIX compliance test, that would be up to LSB to handle. These tests would only increase the overall LTP api coverages. Does your group own these tests? Do you want to donate them to the LTP?

I see this as being used to evaluate different implementations that are being considered for inclusion in the kernel, glibc, etc. This project is concerned with the POSIX APIs regardless of where they are implemented (kernel, glibc, etc.). Thus it can focus on POSIX, independent of implementation. This project will be more concerned with traceability back to the POSIX specification, and completeness of coverage, than I would expect from LTP. That said, there is some overlap, and an exchange of test cases between the projects may be very useful. I've copied Stephanie from LTP to get her reaction. -- Geoff Gustafson These are my views and not necessarily those of my employer. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
