Hi,

The Linux Test Project test suite has been released for the month of
JANUARY 2010. Please see ltp/INSTALL file carefully, as, there has
been multiple changes for building/installing the test suite after the
recent changes in Makefile infrastructure.

The latest version of the test-suite contains 3000+ tests for the Linux
OS and can be found at:
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/,
Latest happenings in LTP can also be found at:
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wiki/,
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wikiArchives.php, and,
IRC: irc.freenode.org #ltp.

Our web site also contains other information such as:
- A Linux test tools matrix
- Technical papers
- How To's on Linux testing
- Code coverage analysis tool.

We would encourage the community to post results to
ltp-results@lists.sf.net,
patches, new tests, bugs or comments/questions to ltp-list@lists.sf.net,
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=103382 (for
New Bug(s)),
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=303382 (for
New Patch(s)),
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=353382 (for
New Feature Request(s))

**Note: Some pending patches will be checked in for next monthś release.

Happy testing, 
Regards-- 
Subrata,

    For those who have been holding off on upgrading since the Make
infrastructure revision was done back in October, I highly suggest
that they evaluate this release as a several issues have been
resolved, i.e. selinux-testsuite being fixed to meet the make
infrastructure changes (there's just a minor issue that's been
reported on RHEL 5.4 with the policy files -- Stephen should be
working with Mitani-san to resolve the issue), and a few autoconf
related items have been resolved. Furthermore, make 3.80 support has
been integrated into the project so folks can once again use make 3.80
when building LTP.
All the best,
-Garrett
