Interesting. I'll have to try building next. I was going
to wait until the first 2.16.0 rc for a full test.
I did apply this patch on top of 2.15.1 on 12/10 and built
an rpm locally for fedora (only f26 though). I didn't see
any test failures, which is why I thought I'd wait for
2.16.0-rc0 to test further.
FWIW, the minor spec file changes I made (against fedora's
git package master branch) are here:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/tmz/rpms/git/branch/perl-makefile
The only change in the patch since I tested it is:
+-modules += Git/Packet
in perl/Makefile.
I don't think any of these changes to the rpm spec file or
the Git/Packet addition in modules look like they'd affect
the test suite, but it's early here and I could be wrong.
I'll try to test a build of next soon to see if I get
similar failures on Fedora/CentOS.
