Poke rpm package and test failures on i586, armv7l, ppc64 and ppc64le

[Dan Čermák]

Hi list,

I have created a rpm spec file for poke and published it in openSUSE's
open build service:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:dancermak:poke/poke

It currently builds for Fedora, openSUSE, SLE 15 and CentOS 8, but there
are some architecture specific failures: the testsuite fails
consistently on i586, armv7l, ppc64 and ppc64le.

If anyone wants to take a stab to stomp out the test failures, you can
view the testsuite/poke.log file when you click on a failed build and
press the blue "Download logfile" button at the bottom of the page. The
poke.log file is printed in its full glory when an error occurred.

The number of test failures also varies quite a lot. For instance on
ppc64le only one test fails, on ppc64 it's 2, on i586 it's 65 and on
armv7l it's 68 (I guess the later two hit some unexpected 32 bit
issues).


Any ideas what could be causing these test failures?


Cheers,

Dan
