Hi, As was mentioned on IRC last night, there seems to be a difference of build success on xen versus kvm based buildds. Some packages are building OK for me on KVM and failing at the Xen-based buildds. One major problem is the fakeroot package, which on other systems is fakeroot-sysv, but on GNU/Hurd it is fakeroot-tcp. According to Olaf B. there seems to also exist a fakeroot-hurd package, however not yet complete. The fakerot-tcp problem is a race condition, see bug #534879 According to Pino T. a sysv-package can be built when shared memory is implemented (I thought it was already available?)
Package building OK for me on kvm currently are clisp, aptitude and rootskel (Samuel T. , which patch is needed?). One difference between a buildd and a user environment is the chroot environment on a buildd. However, aptitude was built on the kvm-based buildd ironforge last night and the build succeeded. So maybe problematic packages should be tried on ironforge if they fail on the other buildds. Another problematic package id postgresql-8.4, which builds OK on my box, but fails when initializing the database. The fist try gave the common fakeroot output: libfakeroot: connect: Connection refused but the second try revealed another problem: src/test/regress/./tmp_check/data/base/1 ... FATAL: could not create semaphores: Function not implemented DETAIL: Failed system call was semget(1, 17, 03600). child process exited with exit code 1 Looks like semget() is a stub. In that case these tests should be disabled, or there is no hope to get this package built before the functionality is available. The semget problems seems to be the same with postgresql-9.1 when looking at the buildd logs as well. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
