Basics about the machines are in the Debian machine database: The mips machine: https://db.debian.org/machines.cgi?host=corelli The powerpc machine: https://db.debian.org/machines.cgi?host=poulenc The s390 machine: https://db.debian.org/machines.cgi?host=zandonai > When using the openvswitch-2.3.0.tar.gz release, most of the failed test do > pass, but other tests do fail. All the tests you show failing below relate to ssl. This is probably unrelated to endianness. Please take a look at the testsuite log to find the details. > Here's a subset of test which do fail on master and passed on 2.3.0 I'd suggest doing a "git bisect" run to find the point at which tests started failing due to endian problems. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
