Various things I'd want to see fixed before I would sponsor the upload: - fix lintian warning[1] in rules (and add a "compat" file). - update to standards version 3.7.3[2] in control file along with any needed packaging changes. - update source to current upstream version, as seen by watch file[3] - check (and fix?) bug #405655 (which has a patch).- add a "Closes" for bug #470091, as you're taking over maintainership.[4]- is the "old-patches" directory needed any more? Everything else looks good. :)
I don't know... - -commands- and -kernel- are not co-installable- many tests can't be ran from ltpmenu (eg. math tests)/don't have necessary files packaged (eg. nfs)/simply don't work (eg. *chown) [1]
- some tests write to /usrThese are the reasons I had to create my own packages to test some kernel changes. I was kinda hoping the situation is going to ameliorate, but it doesn't seem so. I think ltp would make a perfect candidate for a team-maintaned package. But that would mean someone (DD?) had to create some (git?) repository, wiki...
[1] eg. in this context mean ... and many others
