Neither is FreeBSD, and GNU/Linux is probably closer to conformance than FreeBSD is. > I am curious, does Kyua play any part in testing for POSIX > conformance? Not really. Kyua is a test case orchestrator. It runs the test cases you give it, nothing more, nothing less. The only POSIX conformance test suite I'm aware of is maintained by The Open Group and is only available to paying customers; the FreeBSD project does not have a license, and even if it did, it would not be allowed to publish the tests. Moreover, that test suite is self-contained, and while you could trivially wrap the entire test suite in a script that Kyua sees as a single test case, rewriting it so that Kyua sees and is able to run each individual POSIX test case independently would be much harder and probably not worth the effort.
