Simon Ser a8e78208a5 Add edid-decode testing infrastructure
Add two small shell utilities to generate and compare diffs between
edid-decode and di-edid-decode. Store the diffs in-tree and add tests
to ensure they don't regress. Run the tests in CI with a pinned
installation of edid-decode.

One EDID blob is added to the test collection: dell-2408wfp-dp. It's
extracted [1] from the edid-decode repository.

libdisplay-info

EDID and DisplayID library.

Goals:

  • Provide a set of high-level, easy-to-use, opinionated functions as well as low-level functions to access detailed information.
  • Simplicity and correctness over performance and resource usage.
  • Well-tested and fuzzed.

Contributing

Open issues and merge requests on the GitLab project.

In general, the Wayland contribution guidelines should be followed. In particular, each commit must carry a Signed-off-by tag to denote that the submitter adheres to the Developer Certificate of Origin 1.1. This project follows the freedesktop.org Contributor Covenant.

Testing

The low-level EDID library is tested against edid-decode. test/data/ contains a small collection of EDID blobs and diffs between upstream edid-decode and our di-edid-decode clone. Our CI ensures the diffs are up-to-date. A patch should never make the diffs grow larger. To add a new EDID blob or update a diff, use test/edid-decode-diff.sh test/data/<edid>.
