A package + extras that attempt to evaluate the state of individual packages as well as the status of the wider package ecosystem for Julia. Check the status of packages at the package listing.

Exceptions for packages that can't/shouldn't be tested are in src/constants.jl. Open issue/file a PR if you want to add/remove a package.

Licenses are searched for in the files listed in src/constants.jl and support a variety of licenses. If your license isn't detected, please file an issue.

Tests are heuristically identified. The preferred choice is a single "master test file" that will run all the tests. Here is the heuristic:

• Look for runtests.jl, run_tests.jl, tests.jl,test.jl, or $PKGNAME.jl in...
• ... either the root of the package, or in a test or tests subfolder.
• If that fails, look for a test or tests folder. If one exists, and has one and only one .jl file in it, use that.

The "best version" is test/runtests.jl, and is called by Pkg.test as of Julia 0.3.

PackageEvaluator, as a module, exports three functions:

• evalPkg(pkg, addremove=true) - runs various tests on the package pkg, adding it first and removing it afterwards by default. Will return a dictionary of test results.
• featuresToJSON(pkg_name, features) - return test results as a JSON string, given the dictionary produced by evalPkg.
• testAllPkgs(limit=Inf) generates a JSON file for every package.

Also, in extra, runandlog.sh runs the package evaluator in a seperate .julia, saves results.
