Sorry, I really do not have the time or energy for that. >Build logs aren't interesting unless they show build failures. >Proper test suite results are produced as follows: […] Hrm. I wanted to say something witty about the Debian build process running the testsuite and displaying its output, but apparently that isn’t done on m68k. Huh. >0. prep sources, mkdir objdir, cd objdir, /path/to/source/configure ... > as usual for any gcc build >1. make bootstrap >2. make -k check (don't forget the -k!) >3. make mail-report.log This is really too much manual effort (especially considering the build chroot is thrown away after the package build), I fear. (Especially with the wheezy freeze nearing.) But maybe someone else is willing to do that with: http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian/pool-m68k/main/g/gcc-4.6/gcc-4.6_4.6.3-7+m68k.2.dsc (the diff against 4.6.3-7 is what I’ll rebase against -8 and submit to doko, no further changes needed, so just use that) >gcc, perhaps Debian has its own place for posting test suite >results?) No, only for build logs, and tests are usually run during build. >and with two patches to reduce 'genattrtab' overheads; with all Huh interesting. I noticed genattrtab taking half a day or so, instead of half an hour or so, from 4.4 on. bye, //mirabilos -- FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much *much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
