Part of the b0rken tzdata installation (correct times, including leap seconds, in zoneinfo instead of zoneinfo/right, missing the vanilla (posix) files in zoneinfo and zoneinfo/posix, also missing posixrules). All these things used to be hidden within glibc, but at least we're reaching a stage where we can update the timezones (for changes, e.g. to DST) without rebuilding glibc. In both of theoe tests, the result (in seconds) is 1 different from the expected result. At one time, I used to recommend that anyone using the -svn book should follow the -dev list. In this case, I'd appreciate your comments (this list will do) on automake (if you are testing it) - on a completed system, 1.12 and later give me about 4 errors as a regular user (I'd still like to get to grips with those, one day). In a system which boots, but where I've gone back to chroot, and in my results during regular chroot, I get more than 80 failures when running the tests as root. Most of them in t/instspc.tap. I tried running the tests as a regular user (as I say, I've booted the system once), using chown me * in the automake directory (with 1.12.3 - the sed is not appropriate for .3) - it had a few errors, but all the instspc.tap tests look as if they either PASSed of XFAILed. Unfortunately, this was unlogged and scrolled out of my term's buffer - it then died with an EPERM trying to create test-suite.log.tmp so I've now started it again, after chown me ../automake-1.12.3. BTW - thanks for running the tests, and looking at the results! (I often run them, but unless the package version has changed I don't often get round to looking at new failures - basically, I don't have a high regard for testsuites). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
