Update ATF to 0.20. This change upgrades devel/atf to 0.20 and removes devel/atf-libs. The upstream atf distfile has dropped the code for the deprecated tools so it makes little sense to keep the two packages any longer. As a result of this, the devel/atf package is now much simplified as there is no need for a Makefile.common any longer and matches exactly what upstream ships. Changes in version 0.20 *********************** Experimental version released on February 7th, 2014. This is the first release without the code for the deprecated tools. If you require such code, please fetch a copy of the 0.19 release and extract the 'tools' directory for your own consumption. * Removed the deprecated tools. This includes atf-config, atf-report, atf-run and atf-version. Changes in version 0.19 *********************** Experimental version released on February 7th, 2014. This is the last release to bundle the code for the deprecated tools. The next release will drop their code and will stop worrying about backwards compatibility between the ATF libraries and what the old tools may or may not support. If you still require the old tools for some reason, grab a copy of the 'tools' directory now. The code in this directory is standalone and does not depend on any internal details of atf-c++ any longer. * Various fixes and improvements to support running as part of the FreeBSD test suite. * Project hosting moved from Google Code (as a subproject of Kyua) to GitHub (as a first-class project). The main reason for the change is the suppression of binary downloads in Google Code on Jan 15th, 2014. See https://github.com/jmmv/atf/ * Removed builtin help from atf-sh(1) and atf-check(1) for simplicity reasons. In other words, their -h option is gone. * Moved the code of the deprecated tools into a 'tools' directory and completely decoupled their code from the internals of atf-c++. The reason for this is to painlessly allow a third-party to maintain a copy of these tools after we delete them because upcoming changes to atf-c++ would break the stale tools.

The Automated Testing Framework (ATF) is a collection of libraries to
implement test programs in a variety of languages. At the moment, ATF
offers C, C++ and POSIX shell bindings with which to implement tests.
These bindings all offer a similar set of functionality and any test
program written with them exposes a consistent user interface.
Initial import of atf-0.1: The Automated Testing Framework (ATF) is a collection of libraries and utilities designed to ease unattended application testing in the hands of developers and end users of a specific piece of software. As regards developers, ATF provides the necessary means to easily create test suites composed of multiple test programs, which in turn are a collection of test cases. It also attempts to simplify the debugging of problems when these test cases detect an error by providing as much information as possible about the failure. As regards users, it simplifies the process of running the test suites and, in special, encourages end users to run them often: they do not need to have source trees around nor any other development tools installed to be able to certify that a given piece of software works on their machine as advertised. Yes, these are (part of) the results of my SoC 2007 project :-)

ATF-based test programs rely on a separate runtime engine to execute them.
The runtime engine is in charge of isolating the test programs from the
rest of the system to ensure that their results are deterministic and that
they cannot affect the running system. The runtime engine is also
responsible for gathering the results of all tests and composing reports.
The current runtime of choice is Kyua, which can be found in
devel/kyua-cli.
