Bugzilla Bug 13662

Hi,

when surfing the web i came along this link:
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/

It's a project aimed at developing tools for testing software. While i didn't
gave it more than a brief look-over, i can imagine that an ebuild of it could be
prove to be usefull.

path fix for the run script

Ok, this ebuild with the two patches seems to build and the tests start. I
haven't verified if everything works as intended though, as I'm not all that
interested in this project and it would take quite a bit of time.

Issues that should be handled:

- ltp really wants to be run from the source dir. I tried to pick only the
relevant stuff from that dir and install that, but I might have missed
something.
- the run script assumes you are "in" the source dir. There is an option to set
a path, but it checks if the current path is correct and dies if it isn't
before handling options :). So I patched that.

Currently unhandled issues:

- the "ltpmenu" script seems to make similar assumptions about the directory
layout. Those are not fixed yet, I simply leave the script out.
- the build process seems to look for "rpm" a few times. It seems to work
without it, so I ignored this, but it might cause some of the tests to fail.

I might revisit this later, but someone with more interest in this project
might be able to improve on this.

Marien,

good one. added
