This document serves as a roadmap to the curious folk that want to know how to make in-and-outs of the various files living here.
The checkbox project was actually a collection of smaller projects, all living in one big bzr repository (for several technical and historical reasons).
You can still find the old content of the legacy lp:checkbox trunk in the the MIGRATED2GIT directory.
But remember that the bzr repository is no longer the active home of the following projects. They all have their own git repositories.
An Ubuntu SDK application (Python + QML) with a modern touch interface, optimized for phablet devices.
- lp:checkbox-converged
A python3 console application (checkbox-cli). This is also the command-line launcher interpreter used in many providers.
This project depends on plainbox (for all of the core logic) and on a number of test providers.
- lp:checkbox-ng
A python3 library that contains support code for various providers inherited from checkbox-old (now removed). This is a dependency of many (but not all) providers that are in providers/
- lp:checkbox-support
A python3 library that contains the core logic of testing applications such as checkbox. Also a collection of development tools for test authors.
- lp:plainbox
A directory with various provider definitions. Have a look at a particular provider for details. This is where actual valuable tests are. There are many providers as they have different goals and/or dependencies. Some providers depend on a base provider for shared job definitions.
Converted providers (Week42 2016):
- lp:plainbox-provider-resource
- lp:plainbox-provider-checkbox
- lp:plainbox-provider-certification-client
- lp:plainbox-provider-certification-server
Support code for the project that is never released, for testing, development, CI loops, etc.
All of Checkbox Enhancement Proposal documents. All bigger changes to the stack have an associated document that explains the change, its implementation and impact.
