Subject: hurd-i386: enable LFS

Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2011 19:13:22 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: perl
Version: 5.14.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: debian-hurd@lists.debian.org
Usertags: hurd

Hi,

at the moment, perl is compiled on GNU/Hurd without large file support.
This, other than the lacking of support for files > 2 GB, causes the
failure in the t/op/stat.t test.
The failure in stat.t happens because of the following: when filtering
devices in /dev/* using grep {} with -b/-c, stat fails for large
devices such as /dev/hdX blocks, or /dev/zero chars (this latter case
should be an Hurd-specific issue, but shouldn't matter for this case),
hence the counts done with grep {} and the ones done filtering the
output of `ls' don't match.

The attached patch enables the LFS using the same way used on linux.sh;
about t/op/lfs.t, it gets skipped at the "kernel/fs not configured to
use large files?" check, although it correctly detects sparse files and
(at least by looking at the disk usage) allocates the 5GB (or so) file
created with system() in that test.

The patch has been tested with perl 5.14 (experimental), as I guess it
will replace perl 5.12 sometime soon (no?).

Thanks,
-- 
Pino

Thanks for the patch. I'm testing this on bleadperl now and will
forward upstream prior to applying locally, using your message above
in the commit log.

Hrm. This one appears to cause my hurd kvm machine to hang when the
test runs, at least with bleadperl.

Which test of it? One of the two lfs-related tests?
AFAIK, the only problem like that I have with the perl test suite is the 
test cpan/Sys-Syslog/t/syslog.t causing havoc to syslog and to the 
system (which seems to not be a problem in chroot'ed builds, which have 
no /var/log).

t/op/lfs.

cpan/Sys-Syslog/t/syslog.t also hangs the machine if there is a syslogd
running (I noticed it once I installed nullmailer).

Ah, giving the KVM VM more memory was enough to fix this.

I believe that these bugs have all been fixed in perl 5.14, which
has now migrated from experimental to unstable.

Dominic.
