Since Bob Proulx has been kind enough to set up a buildbot for parted, it's the least I can do to make sure the tests pass on the admittedly-aging system we're currently using (linux-2.6.8 w/Debian-sid).
There were three problems: 1) libreadline-5.0 doesn't always echo its input, and caused output-mismatch My first cut was to make configure reject the older libreadline (5.2 is fine. I don't know about 5.1). That didn't help because the code that's used when there is no readline support did the same thing (no echo). So the second part fixes that, too. 2) t0100-print.sh was failing. I tracked it down to the fact that read and/or lseek work differently when the file is too small as in that example. IMHO, finding the details of the root cause is not worth the trouble of digging further, since the fix is simply to use a slightly larger input file. 3) t0000-basic.sh had the same sort of problem because it erased an earlier label with just 1KB of zeros. Using 4KB created a large enough file to fix that. I'll send two separate patches, first #1, then #2 and #3 together. _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
