Re: Roll call for porters of architectures in sid and testing

[Aníbal Monsalve Salazar]

Hi,

Just for the record.

I am an active porter for the following architectures and I intend
to continue this for the lifetime of the jessie release:

For mips/mipsel, I
- test packages on these architectures on my own machines at home and at
  ImgTec
- fix toolchain issues together with other developers at ImgTec
- triage arch-specific bugs
- fix arch-related bugs
- will maintain buildds

I am a DD.

Fwd: Bug#724469: FTBFS on all big-endian architectures

[intrigeri]

Hi,

is it imaginable that a s390x porter gives this issue a try?

Upstream wrote back in October [1] I'll try to get to this soon, but
I'd be more than happy to accept patches, too. Since then, a patch
was proposed that apparently fixes the issue on 32-bit big endian
architectures (attached both to the Debian and upstream bug reports).

This patch apparently needs some more work for 64-bit big endian
architectures, so I thought you might be interested :)

Package: libglib-object-introspection-perl
Version: 0.015-1
Severity: important

libglib-object-introspection-perl fails to build on all big-endian
architectures with the following test failures:

#   Failed test at t/00-basic-types.t line 15.
#  got: '-1'
# expected: '-127'

#   Failed test at t/00-basic-types.t line 16.
#  got: '0'
# expected: '255'

#   Failed test at t/00-basic-types.t line 17.
#  got: '-1'
# expected: '-32767'

#   Failed test at t/00-basic-types.t line 18.
#  got: '0'
# expected: '65535'
# Looks like you failed 4 tests of 34.
t/00-basic-types.t  
Dubious, test returned 4 (wstat 1024, 0x400)
Failed 4/34 subtests 

#   Failed test at t/arg-checks.t line 11.
#  got: '-1'
# expected: '-127'

#   Failed test at t/arg-checks.t line 21.
#  got: '0'
# expected: '127'
# Looks like you failed 2 tests of 5.
t/arg-checks.t  
Dubious, test returned 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)
Failed 2/5 subtests

Given both the nature of the results of the tests, and the selection of
architectures where the failures happen, it's fairly clearly an endian
issue, though I haven't looked into where.  More logs can be found at:
