Description Marian Csontos 2011-05-31 14:02:35 UTC
There is very little to no public facing documentation about :

 * rhts-* scripts
 * task metadata
 * Makefiles
 * PURPOSE

Comment 1 Nick Coghlan 2012-10-17 04:37:52 UTC
Bulk reassignment of issues as Bill has moved to another team.

Comment 2 Dan Callaghan 2012-10-29 05:02:52 UTC
Should make sure to document RHTS_PORT: bug 717234.

We actually have docs for all of that now, yay!

http://beaker-project.org/docs-develop/user-guide/task-environment.html
http://beaker-project.org/docs-develop/user-guide/task-metadata.html

However, we are still lacking docs about environment variables influencing the harness, of which RHTS_PORT is one (comment 2).

Beah is no longer supported by Beaker development team.
Instead of that, we are working on Restraint test harness. You can find all the features of Restraint here.

https://restraint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

If you think your RFE should be still implemented as part of Restraint feel free to create a new BZ ticket.

In case you have any question feel free to reach out to me
Thank you,
