It is not avaiable via their website currently. Any help you can offer wo= uld be much appreciated. Is there a method by which I can access the source= code of ports through FreeBSD? I am currently running FreeBSD 8.0 as a Gue= st OS on VMware player (host is win 7). >> Thanks! >> Dave > > Hi Dave, > > You can download the source code tarball here: > http://sourceforge.net/projects/posixtest/files/ > > Whenever you want to fetch the distfile for a FreeBSD port, just cd into > the port directory and type: > > make fetch > > e.g.: > > cd /usr/ports/misc/posixtestsuite && make fetch > > Most ports will fetch their distfile into /usr/ports/distfiles (or a > subdir of that), except for certain tools that require a manual download. Hang tight for another couple of weeks. I'm cleaning up the open posix testsuite from within the LTP (sf.net/projects/ltp) repository (I have to merge over some of their changes), and once that's done I'll see about backporting bits (if the maintainers are still around..) and/or publishing a revised copy that _is_ more POSIX compliant as the testsuite as-is has a number of bash'isms, gmake'isms, and Linux'isms. Some work needs to be done to bring the tests up to spec and sort out all of the XOPEN/XSI extensions. Thanks, -Garrett
