Pull requests

Whenever the code is changed or a pull-request is made, travis will trigger many hundred tests against the code and the program operation. All tests must pass without exception in order to accept the pull request.

The first check will run shellcheck in the most strict POSIX mode, after this test has passed the following will be checked for every single combination of configuration setting:

  • Unbound variable tests (script runs with #!/bin/sh -u)

  • Syntax error tests

  • Abnormal program termination

  • Abnormal behaviour

  • Error handling and catching ` Apart from this there are many more specific checks, some examples are:

  • Backups cannot be overwritten

  • Proper deletion (tmpwatch / tpmreaper)

  • Checks against encryption

  • basically all configuration directives are checked ...
