[LTP] Want to contribute

[Aditya Upadhyay]

Hi Developers,

This is Aditya Upadhyay, Mentor at RTEMS Organization in Google Summer
of Code-2018. Previously, I was a student intern at the same
organization.

One of the NetBSD members has suggested me to contribute to this
project. I have gone through the wiki page:
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/documentation/how-to/ltp.php#_3.1

I have completed with the environment setup of LTP and run the
test-cases using runltp script.

I have no idea about finding the issue while running the test-cases.
At this point of time, I have no idea about fixing the issue. Would
you like to share any pointers regarding "How to find the issue"?
These are the outputs of this command: ./runltp -f syscalls -s madvise :

aditya@aditya-Lenovo-ideapad-110-15ACL:/opt/ltp$ sudo ./runltp -f
syscalls -s madvise

LTP has moved quite long time ago to git, hosted on github (including wiki):
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp
New wiki:
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki

LTP is (as the name suggests) quite the Linux kernel specific, although there are parts,
which are POSIX related (open POSIX test suite). Do you want to work on NetBSD support for
LTP or work generally on LTP?

TFAIL: would mean test failed.
See more info at:

For contributing to LTP I recommend to read

And I thought that I changed all the pages there to point to the new
GitHub pages already...

Also what kind of contribution do you have in mind? Do you plan to work
on some specific area, or are you looking for a LTP TODO list?

yeah, I have gone through the GitHub wiki page.

I am interested in POSIX Test Suite for NetBSD. Also, I am open to any
suggestion and will be working on LTP TODO list.

Got it. I have already gone through the git hub wiki page.

Yes, I want to work on NetBSD Support for LTP. LTP is really a good platform to
 test the robustness of Linux Kernel.
Last year, I was working on POSIX Compliance as Google Summer of Code project
 and this year, I am a mentor for the same project.

Thanks for pointing me these links. It is really helpful to me.
I would love to contribute to LTP as well as NetBSD(Open POSIX Test Suite).

BTW there used to be some effort on LTP in NetBSD (not sure how far it got):
https://wip.pkgsrc.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pkgsrc-wip.git;a=tree;f=ltp-git


Kind regards,
Petr

The Open Posix Testsuite should, in theory, work on any POSIX system,
however I doubt that anyone is actively using it on anything else than
Linux, at least I do not remeber any activity on mailing list that would
suggets so.

So it would be nice if you tried to run it on NetBSD, looked into
failures and send patches so that it works fine on BSD too.

As you may noticed I've started to fill in the GitHub Issue tracker with
our todo items, feel free to pick from there :-).
