Has anybody looked at the issues behind these failures? I'd like to have a separate bug for each one, whether in hurd or perl, so that we could at least refer to them in the Debian patch that marks the tests as TODO. However, instead of patching the tests, I think I'd actually prefer just making debian/rules ignore test failures on GNU/Hurd so that the failures would stay visible in the build log. Possibly this should be accompanied by an RC bug on hurd so that the issues have to be resolved one way or another if it becomes a release architecture. Ignoring errors obviously has the downside of not catching any regressions automatically. I suppose the hurd folks would need to assume responsibility for that. I don't feel very strongly about this; please let me know what you think. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
