Subpackage tar-tests
====================

The tar-tests package contains the testsuite which is included in tar sources.
The testsuite is normally run during make phase (make check) and is also
automatically run when the tar rpm is being build (in %check section of spec
file).

Normally, there is no reason to need the tar-tests package. It can however be
used to verify, that tar functions properly in an installed system (e.g. to
find issues in tar's dependencies, problems with incompatible libraries, etc.).

Testsuite is installed into /var/lib/tests/tar

To run the testsuite:

cd /var/lib/tests/tar
./testsuite --help # show options

# needed for genfile binary used in tests
./testsuite AUTOTEST_PATH=/var/lib/tests/tar/bin [other options]
