I need to understand how to run test from debian/test directory for OpenBLAS package.

Currently on my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS I did the following:

cd ~/Downloads
sudo apt-get build-dep openblas
apt-get source openblas
cd openblas-0.3.8+ds

I see 3 files in the debian/tests directory:

$ ls debian/tests/
control  upstream-testsuite  upstream-testsuite64

Which command should I run to execute these upstream-testsuite and upstream-testsuite64?

Upstream for Debian means original source code, so we need to run tests from it by using commands below:

sudo apt-get install libopenblas-dev libopenblas64-dev


cd ~/Downloads
apt-get source openblas
cd openblas-0.3.8+ds


create temporary directory


mkdir /tmp/openblas-test
export AUTOPKGTEST_TMP=/tmp/openblas-test


run 64-bit test


chmod +x debian/tests/upstream-testsuite64
debian/tests/upstream-testsuite64


run 32-bit test


chmod +x debian/tests/upstream-testsuite
debian/tests/upstream-testsuite

Also one can optionally compile benchmarks from the corresponding folder by executing the following commands:

cd ~/Downloads/openblas-0.3.8+ds
make -j$(nproc) # you can ignore errors like "undefined reference to `LAPACKE_dgesvd'"
cd benchmark
make -j$(nproc)

and then run eigenvalue search benchmark for square matrix to get something like shown below:

./dgeev.goto 1000 10000 1000
