ngie b7b1b100cc MFC r266650, r267172 (both by jmmv): r266650: Change libatf-c and libatf-c++ to be private libraries. We should not be leaking these interfaces to the outside world given that it's much easier for third-party components to use the devel/atf package from ports. As a side-effect, we can also drop the ATF pkgconfig and aclocal files from the base system. Nothing in the base system needs these, and it was quite ugly to have to get them installed only so that a few ports could build. The offending ports have been fixed to depend on devel/atf explicitly. Reviewed by: bapt r267172: Homogenize libatf-* version numbers with upstream. The libatf-* major version numbers in FreeBSD were one version ahead of upstream because, when atf was first imported into FreeBSD, the upstream numbers were not respected. This is just confusing and bound to cause problems down the road. Fix this by taking advantage of the fact that libatf-* are now private and that atf is not yet built by default. However, and unfortunately, a clean build is needed for tests to continue working once "make delete-old-libs" has been run; hence the note in UPDATING.

===========================================================================


Introduction
************

The Automated Testing Framework (ATF) is a collection of libraries to
implement test programs in a variety of languages.  At the moment, ATF
offers C, C++ and POSIX shell bindings with which to implement tests.
These bindings all offer a similar set of functionality and any test
program written with them exposes a consistent user interface.

ATF-based test programs rely on a separate runtime engine to execute them.
The runtime engine is in charge of isolating the test programs from the
rest of the system to ensure that their results are deterministic and that
they cannot affect the running system.  The runtime engine is also
responsible for gathering the results of all tests and composing reports.
The current runtime of choice is Kyua.
