Note(s) from the Maintainer:

June 2008 saw the initiation of Project collaboration. Thanks to
Masatake Yamato, who will help in porting a significant amount of
syscall test cases from the Crackerjack Project to LTP. I am also
excited to see that new test cases are being submitted to LTP with
increasing pace. I hope that the pace accelerates much much more. The
next half of 2008 will also see some major Infrastructural improvements
in LTP along with our unending endeavor to add more test cases. From now
onwards i would also like to acknowledge each and every contributor in
this release mail for their valuable contribution(s). I will release
results on 2 diff. kernels(one a bit old and another a bit younger) on
same architecture and for those architectures available at my disposal.
This will help us to compare results for 2 extreme kernels.

Our web site also contains other information such as:
- A Linux test tools matrix
- Technical papers
- How To's on Linux testing
- Code coverage analysis tool.

We would encourage the community to post results to
ltp-results@...ts.sf.net,
patches, new tests, bugs or comments/questions to ltp-list@...ts.sf.net,
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=103382
(for New Bug(s)),
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=303382
(for New Patch(s)),
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=353382
(for New Feature Request(s))

Please also see the Change Log Attached (JUNE 2008) for detailed
changes.

Happy testing, 
Regards-- 
Subrata,
