The Linux Test Project would like to help out here. At the least, we would like to add the scripts, wrappers, and configuration files used to create the test systems to LTP. Making test systems available is definitely a great step forward. Showing people how to build similar test systems is another step forward. Let us know what parts you need and we'll see what we can come up with. > Further comments? I will start contacting folks who have expressed > interest. If anyone has loose programs that they use to test the scheduler, please submit them to the Linux Test Project. Chances are other people will also find them useful and add functionality. It doesn't have to be a formal test program or use the test libraries that we use. We can take care of that when we add it to the CVS tree. While we probably aren't going to package up full applications for testing purposes, we could definitely keep track of useful configuration files and scripts that people find useful for testing. -- Nate Straz nstraz@sgi.com sgi, inc http://www.sgi.com/ Linux Test Project http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ltp/ - 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/
