Subject: [alpine-devel] Alpine package testing

Hello All,

I've been working on getting automatic package testing working using a
new version of APTS (Alpine Package Testing Suite).  Currently it
relies on a file, which is basically a set of shell commands to test a
package.  However, this means that for each package a file needs to be
created.  I'd like to simply this by adding a function to APTS which
will test any daemon automatically (daemon would be detected by
existence of an init.d script) by running it's init script, waiting a
second or two, then stopping the script.  The only thing preventing me
from implementing this is the fact that at least one package (samba)
and possibly more ship without a default config that allows the daemon
to start.  Would it be worth setting some sort of standard for
packages which would require a working default config?
