Previously, due to earlier problems with threads, several tests were blocked for IBM S/390, IBM System z, or PowerPC platforms in the Perl specification file. Consequently, when building the perl package, internal tests were not performed on these platforms, even though the original problems no longer occurred. Now, when building the perl package, the tests are performed on all supported architectures.

The tests were disabled because ext/threads-shared/t/stress* (sometimes?) failed on s390. How many times did you performed the test on the platform? (In reply to Petr Pisar from comment #2) > The tests were disabled because ext/threads-shared/t/stress* (sometimes?) > failed on s390. How many times did you performed the test on the platform? Just once on ppc64 and s390x. Didn't try s390 build. I'll try it in a loop and post here the results. Rebuilt on ppc64 18 times and on s390x 20 times using rpmbuild without single fail. I suppose at least these two architectures can be safely enabled back again. s390 doesn't really bother me as only perl-libs, perl-version and perl-debuginfo are being shipped for this architecture. Anyways, if the tests are still being problematic, they can be blocked again. I stressed the threads on s390x and ppc64 and the works well. I could not get access to s390 machine, but a few builds in the build system pass. So I think we can enable the tests everywhere again. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Description of problem: On RHEL6, the ppc64, s390, s390x architectures are blacklisted from running the upstream test suite during the build. I tried to unblock them and the build passes fine (tried with ppc64 and s390x), so the is no reason to block them anymore. Please, enable the tests on all supported architectures. Not running them raises the risk of regression. On RHEL5 and 7, there is no such limitation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-5.10.1-140.el6 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpmbuild -bb perl.spec 2. 3. Actual results: 'make test' is skipped, the built bit not tested Expected results: 'make test' runs: Additional info: --- perl.spec.old 2015-03-12 05:31:03.541025171 -0400 +++ perl.spec 2015-03-12 05:04:10.041498718 -0400 @@ -1429,11 +1429,11 @@ cp %{SOURCE4} lib/CGI/t/ sed -i -e 's|\(t\/upload_post_text\.txt\)|../lib/CGI/\1|' lib/CGI/t/*.t # some updated modules check whether module is built from cpan or core -%ifnarch ppc64 s390 s390x +#%ifnarch ppc64 s390 s390x #ext/threads-shared/t/stress test fails on z10 export PERL_CORE=1 make test -%endif +#%endif %post libs -p /sbin/ldconfig
