Wonderful! Still working on our issues with getting glib2.0 built. As you mentioned in a separate message, the official build environment doesn't include "gdb", so "run-assert-msg-test.sh" exits cleanly without encountering an error due to attempting to run "gdb" on a wrapper script rather than an actual executable. I'm currently testing an instrumented version of the test script to verify what's happening. Re: glib2.0 Should be able to get past the assert message test and try resolving the "socket-listener" test issue later today. The "mimeapps" issue has not resurfaced: if there's some underlying race condition, we evidently "win" most of the time. There is at least one more bit of randomness in the test suite: one of the "gio" tests hung on one iteration, but that particular problem has not resurfaced. Regardless of whether we ultimately get a successful build/test run, there's an underlying issue of whether it can be trusted, and I suspect the package maintainers will end up having to take a closer look at several of the tests. This isn't intended to be a slam against the developers: it's *hard* to write good tests for complex code, and for all I know, the randomness may well lie in the code being tested rather than the test itself. --Bob
