Hello,
I have noticed the bugginess of this package too, while I was looking at
it when I needed to test some modifications of the Linux kernel. In order
to accomplish the task, I created my own package of 20080131 (based on the
Debian package, but heavily changed).
The package itself is an unmaintainable beast, mostly because the upstream
code is a mixture of seemingly unrelated projects, using different
environment (Makefile/autoconf, C/Java/Python etc.). Moreover, the C code
is somewhat buggy, and the Makefiles lack really working install target
(and there are zillions of them). Anyway, the package I have at least
allows running the tests (ie. the majority of kernel tests - I haven't
tested the network tests etc.).
Therefore, I think that packaging every (monthly?) release is a bit
unrealistic. Still, it would be nice to have ltp in Debian.
Can I do something to help it? I'm not a DD nor any other two-letter
acronym of that sort :-)
Regards
Jiri Palecek
