Phoronix Test Suite 6.6.1 Released

[Michael]

Here's the thing... perhaps it's time to address some of the issues with this utility...
For Debian: Debian Bug report logs: Bugs in package phoronix-test-suite
It's also scheduled for removal from the main Gentoo tree: Bug 477798 - app-benchmarks/phoronix-test-suite: missing dependencies

Simply:

• documenting the required runtime dependency packages in an xml file (for each distribution) - no running as root install scripts!!
• perhaps updating the php dependency to 7.x

would probably help quite a bit :-)

The possible list of runtime dependencies is clearly documented and has always been that way.... https://github.com/phoronix-test-sui...pendencies/xml

PTS has always supported PHP 7.x. There are no issues with PHP7. Which PHP dependency are you referring to? If it's something in like the Ubuntu/Debian package, whoever is maintaining that package can simply update the dependency line as unfortunately I don't have access to those, but upstream everything continues to support from PHP 5.3 up through PHP 7.

So not really sure there's anything to do from my side... For those not liking the dependencies installed by PTS, well, you can add all the dependencies you want if desired to the phoronix-test-suite package, but most users will never use all of them... There are hundreds of tests available by the Phoronix Test Suite with varying dependencies depending upon what test(s) you are using to benchmark.
