Tim Beale 0d4c3e5e3f replmd: RMD_VERSION incorrectly incremented for link conflicts
This problem was noticed when 2 DCs added the same linked attribute at
roughly the same time. One DC would have a later timestamp than the
other, so it would re-apply the same link information. However, when it
did this, replmd_update_la_val() would incorrectly increment the
RMD_VERSION for the attribute. We then end up with one DC having a
higher RMD_VERSION than the others (and it doesn't replicate the new
RMD_VERSION out).

During replication RMD_VERSION is used to determine whether a linked
attribute is old (and should be ignored), or whether the information is
new and should be applied to the DB. This RMD_VERSION discrepancy could
potentially cause a subsequent linked attribute update to be ignored.

Normally when a local DB operation is performed, we just pass in a
version of zero and get replmd_update_la_val() to increment what's
already in the DB. However, we *never* want this to happen during
replication - we should always use the version we receive from the peer
DC.

This patch fixes the problem by separating the API into two:
- replmd_update_la_val(): we're updating a linked attribute in the DB,
  and so as part of this operation we always want to increment the
  version number (the version no longer need to be passed in because
  we can work it out from the existing DB entry).
- replmd_set_la_val(): we want to set a linked attribute to use the
  exact values we're telling it, including the version. This is what
  replication needs to use.

# vim: ft=rst

This directory contains test scripts that are useful for running a
bunch of tests all at once.

There are two parts to this:

 * The test runner (selftest/selftest.pl)
 * The test formatter

selftest.pl simply outputs subunit, which can then be formatted or analyzed
by tools that understand the subunit protocol. One of these tools is
format-subunit, which is used by default as part of "make test".

Available testsuites
====================
The available testsuites are obtained from a script, usually
source{3,4}/selftest/tests.py. This script should for each testsuite output
the name of the test, the command to run and the environment that should be
provided. Use the included "plantest" function to generate the required output.

Testsuite behaviour
===================

Exit code
------------
The testsuites should exit with a non-zero exit code if at least one
test failed. Skipped tests should not influence the exit code.

Output format
-------------
Testsuites can simply use the exit code to indicate whether all of their
tests have succeeded or one or more have failed. It is also possible to
provide more granular information using the Subunit protocol.

This protocol works by writing simple messages to standard output. Any
messages that can not be interpreted by this protocol are considered comments
for the last announced test.

For a full description of the subunit protocol, see the README file in the subunit
repository at http://github.com/testing-cabal/subunit.

The following commands are Samba extensions to Subunit:

start-testsuite
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
start-testsuite: name

The testsuite name is used as prefix for all containing tests.

skip-testsuite
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
skip-testsuite: name

Mark the testsuite with the specified name as skipped.

testsuite-success
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
testsuite-success: name

Indicate that the testsuite has succeeded successfully.

testsuite-fail
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
testsuite-fail: name

Indicate that a testsuite has failed.

Environments
============
Tests often need to run against a server with particular things set up,
a "environment". This environment is provided by the test "target": Samba 3,
Samba 4 or Windows.

The environments are currently available include

 - none: No server set up, no variables set.
 - dc,s3dc: Domain controller set up. The following environment variables will
   be set:

     * USERNAME: Administrator user name
     * PASSWORD: Administrator password
     * DOMAIN: Domain name
     * REALM: Realm name
     * SERVER: DC host name
     * SERVER_IP: DC IPv4 address
     * SERVER_IPV6: DC IPv6 address
     * NETBIOSNAME: DC NetBIOS name
     * NETIOSALIAS: DC NetBIOS alias

 - member,s4member,s3member: Domain controller and member server that is joined to it set up. The
   following environment variables will be set:

     * USERNAME: Domain administrator user name
     * PASSWORD: Domain administrator password
     * DOMAIN: Domain name
     * REALM: Realm name
     * SERVER: Name of the member server

See Samba.pm, Samba3.pm and Samba4.pm for the full list.

Running tests
=============

To run all the tests use::

   make test

To run a quicker subset run::

   make quicktest

To run a specific test, use this syntax::

   make test TESTS=testname

for example::

   make test TESTS=samba4.BASE-DELETE
