Testing framework for dpkg
--------------------------

*****************************************************************************
THIS IS OBSOLETE. THE DPKG TESTING FRAMEWORK IS NOW ON AN ARCH BRANCH. PLEASE
SEE http://people.debian.org/~zoso/arch/dpkg/dpkg--test/ AND ITS README FILES
FOR MORE INFORMATION.
*****************************************************************************

Initial proposal for a testing framework for dpkg. It uses Dejagnu as a base.

To check it out, apply the changeset tarred as dpkg-testsuite-cs.tar.bz2 to
dpkg--devel--1.13--patch-60.

After doing ./configure && make again, you should have a new target in the
Makefile: the "check" target.

When you type "make check", all the tests will be run. If there is any error,
it will complain and exit with non-zero status.

Currently, the following tests are written:

   - dpkg.check: Generic "check" C unittest (not dpkg-related, just a random
                 example with an on-purpose error)
   - scripts.filebased: Functional tests for dpkg-parsechangelog, with the aid
                        of *.input and *.expected files.

Requirements
------------

You have to install the "dejagnu" and "check" packages, available in sid.


Other files
-----------

The files in old/ are an old, dirtier version for an old dpkg. Kept for
historical reasons, probably not for too much time.
