#2054: Grep-2.5.3 ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.0 Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Played with the patches from debian and mandriva. If I understood the debian changelog correctly, they have dropped their patch 65 (make dfa optional, by setting an environment variable to use it) again. Trying various of their other patches singly or in combinations didn't get past the headline '3 of 14 tests failed'. Looked at mandriva cooker. They have a one-hunk patch carried forward from 2.5.1 which doesn't affect the test results. They also have a patch which changes some of the expected results for yesno, and unsets GREP_COLOR within foad1. On its own, that silences yesno, but foad1 is unchanged (still 58 failures within it) and fmbtest still fails. They also use the debian patches (interestingly, one of these doesn't apply for me, it chokes on a #@@ line in front of the @@ of the sixth hunk, which has been added by the debian maintainer as a comment - have to remove that). The whole-set variants have fewer failures in foad1 (but still more than 40), and additional failures in fmbtest. I conclude that the change to unset GREP_COLOR is only useful with the debian patches. I could take the rest of that patch and use it to silence yesno (the reasoning in it sounds plausible), but we would still have a few failures in fmbtest and a vast number in foad1, so I don't really see the point. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2054#comment:11> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
