I have never liked that plan -- skipping tests simply because they fail just hides the problem. As a short-term step to keep from being distracted, sure, it's a good strategy. But such sort term "fixes" tend to become very long-lived, leading folks to forget there even was a problem. If the failing tests themselves are the problem, they should just be deleted. > 2. 4 of the tests appear to fail depending on how the OS 'spells' > the negation of zero. Could we address this in a hints file? This is a long-standing problem: See [perl #28170] and [perl #30737]. The last time I looked at this, the it seemed we should probably use signbit(), if available. (If it's not available, a fallback is needed, but it's likely to usually be available.) However, I don't know why OpenBSD would differ from NetBSD in this regard. Certainly the math.c platform files are nearly identical. Are the underlying machines and perl5 configurations the same for the NetBSD and OpenBSD tests? The 'myconfig' files from each configuration would be helpful in trying to assess what's the same and what's different. > 3. 1 of the tests appears to fail depending on how the OS initial- > cases 'Inf'. Again, could this be addressed in a hints file? This too is a long-standing problem: See [perl #19183]. It stalled pending a decision on whether or not parrot should try to enforce a single spelling of 'Inf' (and 'Nan', etc.) or whether the tests should patch over the issue. -- Andy Dougherty [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Will add links to those tickets from this RT. > Are the underlying machines and > perl5 configurations the same for the NetBSD and OpenBSD tests? I believe so. I think magnachef has them set up as virtual machines on the same underlying box. He's working on getting me accounts on them and, if that comes through, I'll be able to post Configure.pl and make output. kid51
[perl #60312] [BUG] OpenBSD Smolder test failures
I understand that some of the Parrot developers will be having a confab at Google the weekend after this. Perhaps they could devote some time to discussing the question of how we can recruit to the project some people who are *really* knowledgeable about particular OSes, i.e., porters. I definitely would welcome that for Darwin and OpenBSD, and I'm sure Win32 and other systems as well could use that level of expertise.

Even more immediately useful would be the 'myconfig' info for each configuration. I designed the file to be useful in precisely this sort of situation. -- Andy Dougherty [EMAIL PROTECTED]
