Here's the summary of failures seen so far on cygwin; I haven't had time to run verbose logs yet, and it appears the testsuite is hung in sort-compress. From past experience, several failures are related to cygwin's tough stance on no absolute file names longer than 260 bytes. Some are related to the fact that Windows and therefore cygwin violates POSIX by allowing deletion of files in unwritable directories. Some are related to the fact that I haven't yet figured out how to recognize trivial ACL's on directories in cygwin, meaning that ls -l currently always adds the + at the end of the mode for directories. And some are probably related to cygwin's special handling of .exe extensions. However, I don't think any of them are showstoppers (I maintain the cygwin port, and am willing to patch any of the critical failures before publishing the cygwin 6.9 compilation, including disabling sort-compress if need be, without holding up the release on more traditional platforms). I guess I'm getting behind in posting testsuite patches that work around bugs where the testsuite is making assumptions incompatible with cygwin. tests/cp: cp: skipping file `fifo', as it was replaced while being copied ./file-perm-race: line 50: echo: write error: Broken pipe cat: ls.out: No such file or directory FAIL: file-perm-race cp: skipping file `mode/fifo', as it was replaced while being copied ./parent-perm-race: line 62: echo: write error: Broken pipe cp: skipping file `ownership/fifo', as it was replaced while being copied ./parent-perm-race: line 62: echo: write error: Broken pipe FAIL: parent-perm-race FAIL: fail-perm FAIL: cp-parents tests/du: File name too long at -e line 2. ./long-from-unreadable: failure in testing framework FAIL: long-from-unreadable out exp differ: char 20, line 1 1c1 < du: cannot access: Too many levels of symbolic links - --- > du: cannot access: File name too long FAIL: long-sloop du: failed to return to initial working directory: Permission denied FAIL: inaccessible-cwd tests/install: FAIL: basic-1 tests/ls: - - exp differ: char 38, line 2 2c2 < ?????????? ? ? ? s.lnk - --- > ?????????? ? ? ? s - - exp differ: char 46, line 2 2,3c2,3 < ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? s.lnk < //DIRED// 44 49 - --- > ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? s > //DIRED// 44 45 FAIL: stat-failed tests/ls-2: - -: q: No such file or directory FAIL: tests tests/misc: FAIL: mknod pwd-long: at depth 5: File name too long FAIL: pwd-long hung at sort-compress Also, tests/nohup leaks output during the test: stdout nohup: ignoring input and redirecting stderr to stdout PASS: nohup - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
