Description: Avocado Test Framework
        ======================
        
        Avocado is a test framework that is built on the experience accumulated with
        `autotest <http://autotest.github.io/>`__, while improving on its weaknesses
        and shortcomings.
        
        The main goal of the Avocado project is to provide a set of smart tools for
        automated testing and continuous integration. Among them, we can highlight:
        
        - A powerful test runner;
        - A multiplexer that allows tests to be run with different sets of variables;
        - Test APIs for test writers;
        - A database for results, with a web interface;
        - A scheduler for setting up a test grid.
        
        Using avocado
        -------------
        
        The most straightforward way of `using` avocado is to install packages
        available for your distro:
        
        1) Fedora/RHEL
        
           Avocado is not yet officially packed in Fedora/RHEL, but you can use avocado
           yum repositories by putting corresponding file into ``/etc/yum.repos.d``.
        
           *  `Fedora repo <https://repos-avocadoproject.rhcloud.com/static/avocado-fedora.repo>`__
           *  `RHEL repo <https://repos-avocadoproject.rhcloud.com/static/avocado-el.repo>`__
        
           and install it by ``yum install avocado`` (or using ``dnf``)
        
        Once you install it, you can start exploring it by checking the output of
        ``avocado --help`` and the test runner man-page, accessible via ``man avocado``.
        
        If you want to `develop` avocado, or run it directly from the git repository,
        you have a couple of options:
        
        1) The avocado test runner was designed to run in tree, for rapid development
           prototypes. Just use::
        
            $ scripts/avocado --help
        
        2) Installing avocado in the system is also an option, although remember that
           distutils has no ``uninstall`` functionality::
        
            $ sudo python setup.py install
            $ avocado --help
        
        Documentation
        -------------
        
        Avocado comes with in tree documentation about the most advanced features and
        its API. It can be built with ``sphinx``, but a publicly available build of
        the latest master branch documentation and releases can be seen on `read the
        docs <https://readthedocs.org/>`__:
        
        http://avocado-framework.readthedocs.org/
        
        If you want to build the documentation yourself:
        
        1) Make sure you have the package ``python-sphinx`` installed. For Fedora::
        
            $ sudo yum install python-sphinx
        
        2) For Mint/Ubuntu/Debian::
        
            $ sudo apt-get install python-sphinx
        
        3) Optionally, you can install the read the docs theme, that will make your
           in-tree documentation look just like the online version::
        
            $ sudo pip install sphinx_rtd_theme
        
        4) Build the docs::
        
            $ make -C docs html
        
        5) Once done, point your browser to::
        
            $ [your-browser] docs/build/html/index.html
