So far our MariaDB package has only run some very lightweight tests. 10.1.34 flipped a switch that runs the entire "MTR" test suite. After patching /bin/ls and /bin/sh, and fixing a couple of failures that showed up after about 4 hours each, the most recent attempt took eight hours during which my SSD was completely thrashed. And then it failed a test case related to the "disks" plugin. The switch was flipped back shortly after the release: https://github.com/MariaDB/server/commit/0a9d78f51d74be7708f2efd940311bf7b33108e9 Since 10.1.35 won't run these tests anymore, we could skip them for this release and don't care about it. Alternatively, we can replace the 'check' phase with something that invokes "mtr" with sensible arguments, and passing our own list of tests to skip. That is what Debian does: https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-10.1/blob/stretch/debian/rules#L96 Thoughts? I'm leaning towards the latter approach, since I've already spent considerable time tracking down related failures, and it already identified a potential problem in the "disks" plugin. But it means building MariaDB will take many hours even on powerful machines. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEEu7At3yzq9qgNHeZDoqBt8qM6VPoFAltOS9sACgkQoqBt8qM6 VPp2QAf8Dkl2rpwUwesfd+A/anY9nBiXkUr6LZK9rxp5FvzgqZv/qzkrlDBLIGZL 7WK10KFsYMG3lBkUCqy3MgUj9uhvlJEERZnlXhG/aSKqnrvxqS+EsUjwkyh4ecad 2hbXwyc0dJJ1XY7ZkoreonQra+L6qXPhu8+37tSX53m4gxibvX31GqVeQdD9gUKK ut3eNeFuPeaS2frHA+uc8KoHBdQurCyIpBQ2WOry+MSawCPwqJb+bv0MPje3BH1H Xd31tUwCWJEZF5LYE03BWOE/v1cY0EFcnH+GYmH2Q0Zq+jLzK2FlQANKZkuwysRE WPgAg8C3A9CpjD1nS7S+vDmNRY/aTw== =8NtR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
