The dependencies are not too difficult to handle, depending on the system state. If your system is up to date, it will be easy diff the package listing and remove the newer packages. If your system is older, you will probably have some packages updated. That's where your sysadmin may have reasons for not updating, or you may just update anyway .

I hope that with time, you'll be able to prepare such an option.
In the meanwhile kudos for your work

One thing that you can actually do in your production environment without wreaking havoc (it would just require the installation of the php5-cli package) would be to just run the phoronix-test-suite with like 'phoronix-test-suite system-info' command or anything trivial while enabling the 'anonymous software / hardware reporting' That way at least to OpenBenchmarking.org during that one-time quick run it will at least report your hardware / drivers from your working configuration so that information can help others... Depending upon how OpenBenchmarking.org takes off, I may end up shipping an openbenchmarking program that effectively does that and is just used for the anonymous software/hardware reporting.

Oh yes, mine was just a suggestion.
I mean, if there was such a method like literally plug & play... then unplug & forget, I guess that thousands of people would be willing to make a full PTS run and upload the results on OB.org

There is PTS Desktop Live for those that don't know. However, I doubt I'll have the time (there's only so much time in the day to write PTS3, write OpenBenchmarking.org, write all of the Phoronix content, and then work on my other ventures too...) for a new version to be timed with PTS 3.0. There also is not the GTK2 GUI in 3.0-Iveland so the new OS may be delayed to PTS 3.2, but I certainly have it being planned.

The PTS should skip the tests not complaint with those drivers...
User should be responsible for setting up a proper working system
In the end the purpose should be to test *that* specific rig/sw, not running all tests...
no wait... you're right... mmmmm I guess the live CD should contain the drivers (stable + last git? at least for intel, amd and nvidia) and the user should setup a little bit everything before running the benchmarking stuff...
Problem is it cannot contain the binary blobs for licensing reasons....
mmm tricky issue... any idea?
Plus... now I also wonder: is running the PTS from a liveCD preventing some tests (I'm thinking of disc tests etc....)
Michael?

I just wonder... is there (or is it a w.i.p.) any .iso image of a PTS3 live CD to be put in a USB key and have a full run of PTS 3 without having to install all that ultra bloated suite?
That way anyone would be happy to contribute with a light heart: insert the usb dongle, let it run for one night, then it automatically uploads results to openbenchmarking.org and you just restart your PC pulling out the usb key....
