Hi, I've noticed that the Python test suite removes the /tmp directory when "make test" is run as root. I've tried this a few times, and every time, if the test suite is run as root, some test cases (for example, test_os) will fail, complaining that it can't access /tmp. I haven't yet spent the time to see which test case does this, but I've definitely observed this behaviour. There's actually 3 test cases that seem to remove /tmp if the tests are run as root.
Running the tests as an unprivileged user circumvents this. Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe it would be good to put a warning in the book? As far as I've checked, the test cases don't remove any other directories or files. _____________________________________________________________________ Der WEB.DE SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen! http://smartsurfer.web.de/?mc=100071&distributionid=000000000066 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
