I am thinking of using CVS on an IRIX system, but am concerned that
the CVS test suite ( make check ) fails. The first failure is on
the test importc-8. The failure on importc-8 is related to
the dates rolling over.
I have tried the tests on several different versions of IRIX,
and IRIX6.5 DOES pass the tests. We do not want to upgrade
to IRIX6.5 however.
Questions:
Does anyone have CVS running on a IRIX system below IRIX6.5?
Are there specific updates that you made to the system to run
with CVS?
Are the tests well regarded/used/somthing to worry about?
I have tried to run all the test individually using the script:
for I in "all the tests"
do
./sanity.sh ./cvs $I
done
This finds that importc-8 and backuprecover both fail on IRIX6.3.
Oddly enough, under linux ( which ran the whole suite without errors )
backuprecover core dumps if I try to run it alone, outside of the
standard
"make check" test course.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
