They don't seem to be regressions in perl, since - they also fail when I build 5.14.0 (even though the buildd managed it). - <Dom> What do you suggest as the way forward? - <Dom> (incidentally I'm trying on strauss's sid chroot to see how that - compares) - <pinotree> Dom: samuel makes buildds build perl with nocheck (otherwise - we'd have no perl at all) - <pinotree> which tests still fail? - <Dom> ../cpan/Sys-Syslog/t/syslog.t ../cpan/Time-HiRes/t/HiRes.t - ../cpan/autodie/t/recv.t ../dist/IO/t/io_pipe.t ../dist/threads/t/libc.t - ../dist/threads/t/stack.t ../ext/Socket/t/socketpair.t io/pipe.t - op/sigdispatch.t - <Dom> buildds> I see - <pinotree> ah ok, those that are failing for me even with my patches - <Dom> I hadn't spotted that the builds were done with nocheck. - <Dom> (but only sometimes...) - <Dom> Explains a lot - <pinotree> syslog is kind of non-working on hurd, and syslog.t succeeds in - buildds (as opposted to crash the machine...) because there's no /var/log - in chroots - <pinotree> libc.t appears to succeed too in buildds - * Dom notices how little memory strauss has, and cancels the build, now - that he *knows* that running out of memory caused the crahses - <pinotree> iirc HiRes.t, io_pipe.t , pipe.t and sigdispatch.t fails because - of trobules we have with posix signals - <pinotree> socketpair.t is kind of curious, it seems to block on - socketpair()... - * Dom wonders if a wiki page tracking this would be worthwhile - <pinotree> stack.t fails because we cannot set a different size for pthread - stacks, yet (similar failing test cases are also in the python test - suite) - <Dom> if there are problems which aren't going to get resolved any time - soon, it may be worth a few SKIPs conditional on architecture, depending - on how serious the issue is - <Dom> then we'd get better visibility of other/new issues - <Dom> (problems which aren't bugs in perl, that is) - <pinotree> understandable, yes - <pinotree> i think nobody digged much deeper in the failing ones yet, to - actually classify them as due to glibc/hurd/mach - <pinotree> (eg unlike the pipe behaviour in sysconf.t i reported) - -### 2011-11-26 - - <pinotree> cool, my recvfrom() fix also makes the perl test recv.t pass - - ---- - - -# Part II - -Next, Hurd-specific features can be added.
