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.
