    Hi,

    I work for CIP (Civil Infrastructure Platform) project which is one of the Debian based distribution. We are working for IEC-62443-4-2 assessment.
    The IEC standard has requirement that all packages included in the image should have some tests.

    This page lists your name as maintainers of linux-base package Debian -- Details of package linux-base in bookworm<https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/linux-base>

    Could you please tell me the location of tests for this package which are executed either as part of CI or manually ?
    Tests in either upstream or Debian are acceptable.

    Thank you in advance.

    As this package is mostly useful during installation/upgrade/removal of
    kernel packages, I don't think it is needed in your images.

    There are some tests in lib/t but they don't cover everything. They do
    get run in CI.

    Ben.

    Hello,

    Sorry for the delayed response. Thank you for the information.

    I noticed that tests available in lib/t as part of CI in build job. https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux-base/-/jobs/5886385#L918.

    Can you please provide your opinion on running these tests as part of autopkgtest since more Debian packages are running tests as part of autopkgtests. This could assist others with similar requirements and ensure a more thorough validation of the
    package.
    [...]

    They are unit tests for the Perl library that's part of linux-base, and
    are run during every build (unless the "nocheck" build profile is
    used). I don't think running them again through autopkgtests would
    improve validation.

    If you could contribute autopkgtest test cases for the *commands* in linux-base, that would actually improve validation of the package and I
    would appreciate that.

    Ben.
