more precisely,

Use "make V=1" to print test headings and PASSing results.
INFO: using 2 minute timeout for tests
FATAL: ./T160-json.sh: interrupted by signal 15

Looks like one of the invokations of emacs hangs when TERM=unknown

Hopefully we can fix this upstream; it's not a Debian specific issue.

It looks like a snapshot version of gdb in yakkety, so I'm reluctant to
invest much effort into it. In particular 7.12 is already released upstream.

A nicer way to skip only those tests that are broken with that
particular version of gdb is is drop the build depends on gdb for armhf.
We already do this in debian for a variety of architectures.

In the not-implausible case that gdb 7.12 also causes problems for the
test suite on armhf, I'll disable those tests there (unless they are
fixable, of course).

yes, the same in Ubuntu

thanks for confirming this, "much" appreciated :)

now Ubuntu has gdb 7.12, I asked Steve to re-enable armhf testsuite, to
see how it goes

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdb/7.12-0ubuntu1

this makes really easier to keep the patch minimal, thanks!

thanks in advance for the great help!

still failing with 7.12

The test suite seems fine on armhf on debian sid (with gdb 7.12)

    https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=notmuch&arch=armhf&ver=0.24.2-2&stamp=1499023890&raw=0

I also ran it on harris.debian.org which is apparently a "ARM v7l"

Since the bug doesn't seem to exist on Debian, I'm closing it. If you
still have problems with the testsuite on armhf on Ubuntu, then either
open a different Debian bug, or let us know upstream at
notmuch@notmuchmail.org if you can't replicate the problem on Debian.

Hello David,


>The test suite seems fine on armhf on debian sid (with gdb 7.12)


Since you uploaded on sid, I did a force-sync in Ubuntu, and failed again
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notmuch/0.24.2-2

So, any help in debugging is appreciated :)
I can test if needed whatever you ask me

and while you are on it...
