Dear Rob,
Thank you very much for all your efforts to keep DejaGnu alive.
Some time ago (Nov 2001) I submitted on the same mailing list a propopal for
a short introduction into getting DejaGnu up and running. I never got a
response from you whether you would accept such a tutorial and integrate it
into the DejaGnu distribution.
Since then I received about 5 requests for sending pdf versions of the
said tutorial, but didn't get any feedback.
Recently address@hidden came to me (by private mail) with some suggestions to
improve my tutorial. He seems to have had a hard time to get DejaGnu running
see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-07/msg00284.html. As he wrote
> And here's a plain-text version of the little tutorial Niklaus wrote.
> It might be just the balm I need for my nuclear frustration.
> Wish it was in the Dejagnu doc already...
and
> I highly encourage you to keep up your efforts with that tutorial;
> without it, dejagnu is dead code for many potential users.
I am motivated to improve my tutorial, integrate dank's suggestion and make
it up to date.
As I am on vacation for a couple of weeks I have some time to do the
necessary homework. Also on my job we just started to build a automated test
infrastructure. There DejaGnu is still our favorite tool and I hope to get it
working quite soon and I may therefore afterwards also justify some
professional time to improve on the documentation. (Unless we find a better
tool, we had a quick look at qmtest. It has a graphical user-interface but is
not so good a cross-testing which is our primary concern.)
Rob, could you please give me your point of view whether you want or not to
integrate it into the DejaGnu-distribution or under what conditions.
A response would be highly appreciated.
Best regards
