I'd like to do a package freeze today in preparation for LFS-7.4. Right now I'm not sure whether to to generate a rc1 or not. There are several tests that fail that we may want to 1) Note, 2) Patch, or 3) Ignore. Below is my analysis of the current svn:
Coreutils. 1 failure. tests/df/skip-rootfs.sh This appears to be for the following reason. We are now running with /etc/mtab as a symlink to /proc/mounts and my host has a file system mounted that is not accessible in chroot. Probably can be ignored. ---- Automake. 1 Failure, currently noted in the book. ---- Flex. 2 failures. Probably due to bison-3.0. These seem to be test failures only and we could add a note to the book ---- Texinfo. 1 Failure. prove.sh ./t/Pod-Simple-Texinfo.t (Wstat: 768 Tests: 17 Failed: 3) Failed tests: 3, 7, 11 Non-zero exit status: 3 http://old.nabble.com/Self-test-fail%3A-texinfo-5.1-due-to-pod-simple-pm-td35605532.html The book notes that "Two tests in the test suite fail due to out of date perl code." We could just change that to one. ---- glibc. 4 failures, but three are noted in the book. The other is test-getaddrinfo4. Looking around, I did find this: http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.18#Testsuite_Failures Add another note? ---- e2fsprogs. 1 failure. f_extent_oobounds. I found this: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/39357 Add a sed? ---- bison. 1 failure. CXX examples/calc++/examples_calc___calc__-calc++-scanner.o g++: error: ./examples/calc++/calc++-scanner.cc: No such file or directory g++: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. This matches what Ken saw a couple of days ago. May be specific to building in chroot. ====== So how to proceed? Which changes are needed before -rc1? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
