Hi,
Please find attached a patch to run the testsuite as part of
the autopkgtests.
As documented in the test harness, in lieu of shipping a 500K+ binary
in the cpio binary package, we rebuild the package simply for the
'genfile' text fixture generator.
We do still test against the system cpio though, and this can be
easily confirmed by installing an older version of cpio (eg. 2.13) and
observing some of the tests fail.
Thanks to Zaiba Sanglikar <zaiba.sangli...@toshiba-tsip.com> for
requesting this feature.
Regards,
--
