Thanks for testing afresh1@. I have built all remaining consumers now without any issues, but I didn't test runtime. However, I did manage to find the time to run the tests and got the following results: 1. Test run as _pbuild user with PORTS_PRIVSEP=yes (with xhost +si:localuser:_pbuild; make test; xhost -si:localuser:_pbuild): Total cases: 137 BAD, 1029 FAILED, 1 IMPROVEMENT, 4698 OK, 15217 SKIPPED Elapsed time: 2 Hours 38 Minutes 22.977169 Seconds 2. Test run as my own user by running the commands under the 'do-test' target manually: Total cases: 142 BAD, 265 FAILED, 1 IMPROVEMENT, 5457 OK, 15217 SKIPPED Elapsed time: 2 Hours 51 Minutes 17.465214 Seconds Running the tests as the _pbuild caused a lot more failures mostly due to the following error: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information amdgpu: drmGetDevice2 failed. Not sure how to deal with this. When running the tests as my own user, ca. 95% of the tests succeed (without counting bad and skipped tests) and failures are mostly due missing font dependendencies. I'll keep working on these, but I consider the results to be good enough and would like to commit this update that is long overdue. Feedback? Oks? Objections? On another note, OpenCascade 8.0.0 is just around the corner (currently at RC3). From what I read, the update comes with a lot of changes to the codebase and build system, so we'll be back at this soon.
