HI Wookey,
The test programs can be used at development time - but the trc_pkt_lister is also a handy utility to examine captured trace.
OK. I'll include that in the package then.
Currently I am inclined (for the Debian package) to include that path fix, and adjust the docs correspondingly, and build the tests, but will not wait for a run/check-the-tests implementation of any sort before uploading an initial package to debian. If we decide to do one it can be included in due course.
I'd be fine with this.
OK. So that is done modulo the above change.
I would also be fine with only including the snapshot that is directly referenced in the C-API program. The other snapshots will always be available on Github.
Debian normally ships the upstream tarball 'as is' unless there are licencing reasons not to.
Which reminds me. What is the licence on all those snapshot files? The same BSD-3 as the code? And are they all also 'Copyright ARM'?
So whilst it would be nice to repack the tarball and make it 24Mb smaller, I'm not sure that 'upstream release contains a lot of unused test files' is a sufficient reason.
