autopkgtest test cases for libestr

[Vibhav Pant]

The DEP 8 specification defines how automatic testing can very easily be integrated into packages.
I have created test cases for libestr and attached them as a debdiff.

< jibel> vibhav, the test exit 1 but there is no output at all and don't know which function call failed.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Thanks for your contribution.

There are a few fixes to bring to your patch:
- in debian/test/control: you'll need a test dependency on pkg-config since it's required to build the test script executable.
- in debian/build:
  - line 60: typo, it's pkg-config instead of pkg=config
  - line 60: what you want are backquotes intead of single quotes. backquotes are used for command substitution rather than for quoting

Finally, the first test 'es_strbufcmp' fails.

Could you please fix and resubmit, thanks!

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

I meant debian/tests/control debian/tests/build of course

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

I verified the latest patch and it looks good. I verified that the tests execute and pass with run-adt.

Thanks for your work!

Thanks for your work, I went ahead and forwarded this to Debian (as this package comes from Debian unchanged). If you still want this to be uploaded as Ubuntu delta, maybe you'll try to merge 0.1.4-1 from experimental?

[Vibhav Pant (vibhavp)]

Well, I will wait for it to be uploaded to Debian then. Thanks :)

based on comment #10, I am removing ubuntu-sponsors, since there is nothing to sponsor at this time. Please resubscribe if this is in error or you change your mind.
