This package provides a simple framework for testing Boost
|
|
(http://www.boost.org/). Once installed, the entire Boost test suite
|
|
may be run as follows, ideally on a regular basis.
|
|
|
|
PREFIX/sbin/boost-test-suite
|
|
PREFIX/sbin/boost-test-suite -p # run unpatched tests
|
|
|
|
This script takes care of downloading the necessary Boost test script
|
|
and running it with parameters appropriate for simple testing
|
|
applications. It may, however, be configured for more advanced uses.
|
|
The testing process and requirements are described in greater detail
|
|
at the following site:
|
|
|
|
http://www.boost.org/development/running_regression_tests.html
|
|
|
|
Note that the Boost test framework requires a network connection, as
|
|
it updates the local copy of Boost with the most current version prior
|
|
to running the tests and then uploads the results, which are
|
|
summarized here.

|
|
|
|
It is important that the test suite is run regularly as it helps
|
|
ensure that the pkgsrc packages are correct.
