First cut at testing and validation

[Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>]

Erik, here is the script I promised you. Let me know if it is missing
anything that we talked about for v 0.1

#
# Although this material is expected to be used in the Free Software
# community, where such modification is routinely allowed, such practice
# can not be allowed when standards verification is the intention.
#
# The following tests are divided into five parts.
#
#   1. Library location and so name verification
#   2. Package manager wrapper function verification
#   3. Standard program location and naming convention verification
#   4. Standard config file location and naming convetion verification
#   5. Library functionality verification
#
SUCCESS=TRUE
# Check library so names and locations

while read name
do 
  if ! [ -L $name ]
  then
    SUCCESS=FALSE
    echo "Failed to find $name"
  fi 
done < lcs-sonames

# Check for package wrapper functions

while read name
do 
  if ! [ -x $name ]
  then
    SUCCESS=FALSE
    echo "Failed to find $name"
  fi 
done < lcs-pkgnames

# Check standard program names and locations

while read name
do 
  if ! [ -x $name ]
  then
    SUCCESS=FALSE
    echo "Failed to find $name"
  fi 
done < lcs-pgmnames

# Check standard config file names and locations

while read name

  then

  fi

# Test library functionality

if [ -x ./lcs-libtest ]
then
  ./lcs-libtest
  if ! [ ? == 0 ]
  then
    SUCCESS=FALSE
  fi
fi

# Declare test a success or failure

if [ "$SUCCESS" == "TRUE" ]
then
   echo This system is LCS compliant. Congratulations!
else
   echo This system is not LCS compliant. See error messages above.
fi

Waiting is,
