+ <Dom> pinotree: so, with your three fixes applied to 5.14.2, there are
+ still 9 tests failing. 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)
+

+ <pinotree> cool, my recvfrom() fix also makes the perl test recv.t pass
