Hello, I'm a new user of the LTP and I was wondering if it works on embedded platforms with custom Linux distros built with Yocto. I was interested in the "containers" set of tests, particularly the network namespace ones. I noticed the tests were not working properly on a Busybox system, and I've identified some differences between this and running LTP on my host Fedora 17 system (which works fine): - Busybox's diff outputs in the unified format by default - this causes parsing issues in LTP - there is no sshd server on my embedded platform - instead I have dropbear installed, and the scripts need minor changes to work - the networking utils - ping, ip, etc. - are from the inetutils package, instead if the expected iputils package I was wondering if these requirements - diff, sshd, iputils package, and others - are somewhere listed as prerequisites in the documentation (I haven't searched it extensively). Where should I look for a complete list of host userspace applications needed by LTP to work? Also, are there any branches of the LTP project designed to work with e.g. Busybox by default? I noticed that the ltp-full-20130109.bz2 arhive is universal and has no mentions of supported host distro configuration (or perhaps I didn't look in the right place?). Thank you very much, Bogdan P. |

Most of the tests should work on embedded platforms and with Busybox but I personaly can't guarante that. In other words We are trying not to break things for anybody, but some tests may not worked from the start. > I noticed the tests were not working properly on a Busybox > system, and I've identified some differences between this and running > LTP on my host Fedora 17 system (which works fine): > - Busybox's diff outputs in the unified format by default - this > causes parsing issues in LTP > - there is no sshd server on my embedded platform - instead I have > dropbear installed, and the scripts need minor changes to work > - the networking utils - ping, ip, etc. - are from the inetutils > package, instead if the expected iputils package As usual patches are welcome. > I was wondering if these requirements - diff, sshd, iputils package, > and others - are somewhere listed as prerequisites in the > documentation (I haven't searched it extensively).

On the other hand I would be happy to include what you have found into the containers README file. Just send a signed patch. > Also, are there any branches of the LTP project designed to work with > e.g. Busybox by default?

We have one archive to run on all flavors of Linux, fragmentation would only make things worse. -- Cyril Hrubis ch...@su... |
