This mail was written earlier. Lost again internet connection (after several months, it has started again: twice in a day).
I will send it as is. Bruce, have just seen [blfs-book] r11441. Liked it very much. Em 16-07-2013 13:10, Bruce Dubbs escreveu: > Thanks for the work on that.

Point where it is: $ tail OpenJDK-1.7.0.40-2.4.1-re-run-tests-2013.07.16-12h03m32s.log Passed: java/awt/Frame/FrameSetSizeStressTest/FrameSetSizeStressTest.java FAILED: java/awt/Frame/FrameSize/TestFrameSize.java Passed: java/awt/Frame/HideMaximized/HideMaximized.java Passed: java/awt/Frame/HugeFrame/HugeFrame.java FAILED: java/awt/Frame/InvisibleOwner/InvisibleOwner.java Passed: java/awt/Frame/LayoutOnMaximizeTest/LayoutOnMaximizeTest.java FAILED: java/awt/Frame/ResizeAfterSetFont/ResizeAfterSetFont.java FAILED: java/awt/Frame/WindowDragTest/WindowDragTest.java FAILED: java/awt/FullScreen/FullScreenInsets/FullScreenInsets.java Passed: java/awt/FullScreen/NoResizeEventOnDMChangeTest/NoResizeEventOnDMChangeTest.java I will left tests running about 6 hours. Nothing done, after last line above. For several months, had not run the tests. It seems that a new test patch might be necessary. There are so many test failures we know since long... In the book, we have: "The included version of jtreg is old, and the test suite is also very dependent on the host system and the environment that it is run in". But real word use seems to be ok (browser plugin, ant, JUnit, have also installed maven, national program for income tax in my country is in java, sites that need java working, these which I remember). I have difficulty in finding the tests really necessary. I should be wrong in the following, please correct me, will not argue. The only advantage I see in the tests is to have fun trying to learn and solve build problems, i.e., it is kind of educational. What is really the necessity of tests here? Would it be acceptable commenting out the tests part just for the time being? Please, just trying to discuss and learn. -- []s, Fernando -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
