For e2fsprogs-1.42.13 we had '153 tests succeeded, 0 tests failed', but for version 1.43, we have '62 tests succeeded, 265 tests failed'. Many of the failures look like: $ cat f_lpffile.failed --- ../../tests/f_lpffile/expect.1 2009-08-13 01:39:58.000000000 +0000 +++ f_lpffile.1.log 2016-05-28 19:40:20.364025801 +0000 @@ -1,3 +1,4 @@ +e2fsck 1.43 (17-May-2016) Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity --- ../../tests/f_lpffile/expect.2 2009-08-13 01:39:58.000000000 +0000 +++ f_lpffile.2.log 2016-05-28 19:40:20.367025703 +0000 @@ -1,3 +1,4 @@ +e2fsck 1.43 (17-May-2016) Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity In fact running: [ /sources/e2fsprogs-1.43/build/tests ]$ grep ^+ *.failed|grep -v 1.43|grep -v @@|grep -v +++ gives no output. My conclusion is that all the tests actually pass, but the expected results need to be updated in the release tarball. -- Bruce Dubbs linuxfromscratch.org
