Description Paul Eggleton 2014-09-11 11:04:25 UTC 
A regression seems to have been found in 1.6 to do with curl and fetching from https via gnutls. This suggests to me we ought to enable curl's test suite using ptest and have it run regularly.

Here's an upstream page describing the test run script:

Comment 1 Paul Eggleton 2014-09-11 13:35:33 UTC 
FYI bug 6708 is the one that prompted this.
Comment 2 Cristian Iorga 2015-02-26 09:09:03 UTC 
Investigation started.
Comment 3 Cristian Iorga 2015-02-26 09:14:07 UTC 
Implementation in progress.

This enhancement poses a lot of challenges:
1. there is a stunnel ptest incompatatibility that needs to be resolved;
2. the ptests are dependent on bash. My intention is to de-bash this, if possible;
3. There is an extensive lost of build-time and run-time dependencies added to the original curl recipe if ptest will be supported (some of those dependencies are heavy ones.)
Comment 4 Cristian Iorga 2015-02-26 10:05:30 UTC 
stunnel-based tests will be set to off for now, as stunnel is not part of oe-core and we want to avoid having external dependencies.
Comment 5 Cristian Iorga 2015-06-23 08:40:17 UTC 
Although most part of the functionality is implemented for this feature, the state of networking in qemu machines makes the curl tests very hard to set up in an automated manner.
YP autobuilders machines are behind a network proxy, so moreover the curl tests will be non-functional.
As such, this feature will be completed in 1.9M2 stage of the project, after qemu machines will get proper networking functionality.

Reassigning to Team Finland (care of Jussi).

taking as I be the pkg maintainer
Comment 12 Ross Burton 2022-04-01 11:16:16 UTC 
Patches were submitted some time ago but never merged, so it shouldn't be too difficult to rebase those to current master.
Comment 13 Komal Pal 2022-04-18 06:18:18 UTC 
Just want to get latest update for this issue, if it is not resolved yet, I want to work on this
