Bug 526852

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=pts_22_beta1&num=1

Currently there is a Phoronix Test Suite version 2.2 beta.

Even if it is in "beta" it is much more usable than current version that is in Fedora repository because the version that is in Fedora repos it so obsolete that most of test suites even fail to download and because of that is is not too useful :(

I just updated the package for 2.2.0, here are the updated files if someone wants to try it:
http://stetson.frozenhat.fi/~tpr/fedora/phoronix-test-suite-2.2.0-1.fc12.src.rpm
http://stetson.frozenhat.fi/~tpr/fedora/phoronix-test-suite.spec

Tested on F11 and F12 (x86_64), but can't guarantee that everything is ok. Updated the list of required packages, but removed the .desktop file as we can't have UI without PHP-GTK, which apparently is broken for PHP 5.3...

In Fedora 12 Phoronix test suite is still at 1.8 version. Could you update it please?

The stable one is 2.4 and 2.6 will be released soon.

I updated the package to 2.6.0 beta 1, I used modified specs from Teemu

http://aukro.panthernet.cz/phoronix-test-suite.spec
http://aukro.panthernet.cz/phoronix-test-suite-2.6.0b1-1.fc13.src.rpm

Mock build works correctly. Is the package maintainer still present?

I managed to get all components needed for Phoronix test suite installed but still have one issue.


# phoronix-test-suite gui

You need two packages that aren't in Fedora, php-gtk, but php-gtk also has it's dependency - pecl-cairo


Here is how I got all components built.


su -c "yum install php-cli php-devel make gcc gtk2-devel svn"

svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/cairo/trunk pecl-cairo
cd pecl-cairo/
phpize
./configure
make
su -c "make install"

cd ..

svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/gtk/php-gtk/trunk php-gtk
cd php-gtk
./buildconf
./configure
make
su -c "make install"

cd ..

wget http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/download.php?file=phoronix-test-suite-2.8.1
tar xvzf phoronix-test-suite-2.8.1.tar.gz
cd phoronix-test-suite
su -c "./install-sh"

So please take where I left to get Phoronix test suite running on Fedora.

There was no response from Joseph Smidt, should we initiate Non-responsive Maintainer process?
I tried to mail him personally to his gmail account, with no response. Unfortunately I was busy and forgot to finish this.

Is it really so difficult to kick the gui part out of the package?
The gui part is useless in serious benchmarking anyway.

After inspecting the installed files, I would simply:
%exclude %{_datadir}/applications/%{name}.desktop
%exclude %{_datadir}/icons/%{name}.png
%exclude %{_datadir}/%{name}/pts-core/modules/gui_gtk_events.php
%exclude %{_datadir}/%{name}/pts-core/library/pts-includes-gtk.php
%exclude %{_datadir}/%{name}/pts-core/library/pts-includes-gui.php
%exclude %{_datadir}/%{name}/pts-core/options/gui_gtk.php
in the latest 2.8.1 installation.

I would bet that Michael Larabel would appreciate some help with tests and testing in different environments.
There are definitely some issues in install scripts and troubles in 64 bit environments.

If there is some packager willing to do it of course.

AFAIK there is no way of removing gui part, and no reason to do so, you just don't start it in GUI mode. For gui to work there are two packages missing in Fedora repos if they get added then gui will work.

The required packages will not get added, at least not in a near future. There are no package review requests concerning needed packages.

If the gui part is the only obstacle for providing a reasonably up to date benchmarking suite in Fedora, I vote for removing it.

The gui part works even in Fedora of course.

But the Fedora guidelines and policies and the necessary effort to maintain the dependencies eventually exclude this possibility.

Moreover there is probably no gui in the development version in the Michael's Git.

Manually compiling needed packages is not such big deal so until there are php-gtk and pecl-cairo packages in Fedora there are a few steps to make GUI run but it is not too hard to do.

Just please update the package to latest version and just leave everything in so that users can enable GUI afterwards.

Thanks.

PTS 3.0 is out, that package is clearly abandoned, someone willing to maintain it should start an unresponsive maintainer procedure http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers

Hi,

I have initiated an unresponsive maintainer procedure ( rhbz #734530 ). If the maintainer is not responding I will take care of updating phoronix-test-suite

Nice!

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

The new package of phoronix-test-suite is ready. It must be review bacause it was deprecated in F16 and devel.

If someone is willing to do the review, here is the link:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737263

Any news of this package update? I can't find any mention of phoronix test suite in rawhide repos...
