I have been playing around with the testsuite recently. It works
somehow but I always get about <10 errors. I am wondering if I have
chosen a bad combination of settings or pplatform that is not routinely
tested?
That number of errors is slightly under par vs. the best of the platforms
routinely tested. Some of the problems are timing issues, and come-and-go.
Some are "it used to work, and nobody has chased down what changed".
Some are "this platform is different, and the testcase doesn't handle that".
Have a look at the buildfarm status page:
https://buildfarm.exim.org/cgi-bin/show_status.pl
On any specific animal's row follow the "config" link, then the "test" link
to see the text output for the run. Text-search either with "failed==="
or with a 4-digit testcase number is useful on that page.
(As always, if your favourite config isn't covered, please consider running
a buildfarm animal. Start with the "Register" link for how-to)
