[Monotone-devel] Buildslaves make it obvious what monotone is developped on ; -)

[Richard Levitte]

Hey,

so, after running the buildbot for a while, it's quite visible that
monotone works consistently on most if not all Linux systems, while
other platforms, be they unixly or not, seem to have some problems.

As it is right now, we have the following problems:

Windows Vista:

    charset:idna_encoding                         FAIL

  This may be caused by stuff in the libiconv used on that machine,
  but considering the error I've seen (invalid length of output), I'm
  wondering if there might be a C string somewhere that isn't properly
  NUL-terminated.

FreeBSD 6:

    300 netsync_largish_file                      FAIL (line 11)

  Is 32MB too much?

Solaris 10:

    118 clone_warning_with_multiple_heads         FAIL (line 21)

And then, which I found a bit surprising, i686 linux 2.6 glibc 2.4

    135 database_is_closed_on_signal_exit         FAIL (line 28)
    176 dump_on_crash                             FAIL (line 46)
    237 log_quits_on_SIGPIPE                      FAIL (line 78)

  The errors here seem to indicate that there's something different
  with signals on that machine.


I'm hesitant to produce a release because of this, but am also
hesitant not to.  Any advice?

Cheers,
Richard
