Public domain. + +These are some basic tests for TeX Live being at all functional. +They are not being run by any cron job, yet. + +The general idea is to have a "knowngood" dvi or pdf file, and compare +it against the result of running with the current code. + +I wrote the DVI-comparing (which uses dvitype) script in Perl so it +would have a chance of running under Windows. I don't know if it really +does. Ditto the PDF-comparing script (which uses pdftoppm from the xpdf +distribution). + +The numbers in the directory names are just an arbitrary prioritizing +scheme, so simpler tests can be run before more complex ones. Several +tests can have the same priority number. + +I don't intend to try to make this any kind of exhaustive testing, we're +just trying to make sure the most obvious things aren't broken.
