On NetBSD 9.0 (x86_64), I see 5 errors: FAIL: tests/misc/date-debug FAIL: tests/misc/date-tz FAIL: tests/misc/expr-multibyte FAIL: tests/tail-2/pipe-f2 FAIL: tests/touch/not-owner The log file is att
Oh. Hmm, perhaps lseek() on /dev/zero gives ENOENT on NetBSD? I presume there are platforms without /dev/zero but if there are none we're interested in porting too then the require_dev_zero_ check wo
Well, it may have been due to a missing /dev/zero. But the NetBSD 5.1/x86 machine I was testing on has /dev/zero: NetBSD 5.1 (GENERIC) #0: Sat Nov 6 13:19:33 UTC 2010 Welcome to NetBSD! -bash-4.1$ ls
I noticed and fixed that typo: s/But/Bug/ while adding this test: split: avoid failure due to leftover 'errno' value * src/split.c (lines_chunk_split): Fix logic bug that led to unwarranted failure o
On NetBSD 9.3/x86_64, I see 3 test failures: FAIL: tests/date/date-debug FAIL: tests/date/date-tz FAIL: tests/tail/pipe-f2 On NetBSD 8.0/sparc64, I see these test failures, and additionally: FAIL: te
Hi Stefano, Thanks for testing and reporting the results. Unfortunately, from what I recall of NetBSD 5.x failures for the last few coreutils releases, it had problems that seemed numerous and fundam
Thanks for the analysis and patch. There was another problem just like that in bytes_chunk_extract. Here's a proposed patch. At first I was going to add a test to exercise the other failure, say with
I've updated the patch to do both of the above suggestions. However it probably shouldn't be applied unless we're targetting systems without /dev/zero. cheers, Pádraig. Attachment: dev_zero.diff Des
Thanks for the patch. ... This TODO seems like good justification for adding the truncate option. However, just to be a little paranoid, it might be better to ensure that we can actually read from it
* tests/misc/help-version.sh: Test that /dev/full causes shell printf to fail. This ports better to NetBSD 9.88.46, where it doesn’t. Problem reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. -- tests/misc/help-vers
Hello Bruno, Thanks for the testing! Other than that, there are also a number of test failures, among them: FAIL: tests/cp/existing-perm-race FAIL: tests/cp/file-perm-race FAIL: tests/cp/parent-perm-
Nice one Bruno, thanks! Hmm, I wonder should full_read() be adjusting the errno? I.E. maybe the behavior of read() and full_read() should be different, as the latter can do a successful partial read(
On NetBSD 5.1/x86, I get this test failure in particular: FAIL: split/l-chunk == split: /dev/zero: No such file or directory stat: cannot stat `x*': No such file or directory rm: cannot remove `x??'
Thanks for updating it. Given the number of matches and uses here, http://google.com/search?q=/dev/zero+site:netbsd.org I think the above comment must be inaccurate. However, I like the patch and thi
This one at least was due to missing /dev/zero which is not required by POSIX so the attached skips the tests requiring it. cheers, Pádraig. Attachment: dev_zero.diff Description: Text document
