The next steps on my plate are as follows: Shuah Khan: - Work on putting a basic framework for tests: Pass, Fail, Skip to start with. - update existing tests in tools/testing/selftests to use the framework to serve as an example for future tests. As we discussed and decided on output will continue to go to stdio. This will help these tests being used in other scripts that run tests in cross environments. - Define profiles for short and longer time tests - Add install target in addition to the existing kselftest target at the top level Makefile I will maintain the test framework - will take care of the logistics of MAINTAINER file updates for this and creating a git tree. Individual test maintainers (we have several in MAINTAINERS file) will continue to own and maintain their tests. Fixes to known cross-build failures and new tests are welcome. Please send patches to linux-api mailing list These are the initial tasks to continue this project in 3.18 and we can evolve and refine the steps as we go. Please add and/or correct if I missed any initial steps and got the details wrong. thanks, -- Shuah
