Description Jonathan Wakely 2021-04-22 12:15:22 UTC
Description of problem:

The version of DejaGnu in Fedora is old and has a bug that causes problems for GCC testing.

See details in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-dejagnu/2018-07/msg00000.html
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=100203


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dejagnu-1.6.1-7.fc32
dejagnu-1.6.1-8.fc33
dejagnu-1.6.1-9.fc34

How reproducible:

Always.


Actual results:

Tests that deadlock and timeout do not get killed.


Expected results:

Tests are killed if they time out.

Additional info:

The patch at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-dejagnu/2018-07/msg00002.html is in the 1.6.2 release from November 2018, but has never made it into Fedora.

Other distros either ship 1.6.2 or include that patch.

P.S. I'd be happy to do the update myself if that's OK.

Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2021-04-27 17:24:10 UTC
gcc needs to remove some tests otherwise these hangs kill the builds almost always.  Otherwise it is only sometimes.

I guess I should send a pull request to do this for rawhide.

Comment 4 Martin Cermak 2021-11-04 14:12:13 UTC
Jonathan, not sure I follow.  The build (dejagnu-1.6.3-1.fc36.noarch) already propagated to Rawhide repos, just checked that.  Thoughts?

Comment 5 Jonathan Wakely 2021-11-04 15:45:50 UTC
Oh I missed that, sorry!

Can we get it for F35 too then?

Comment 6 Martin Cermak 2021-11-10 09:48:54 UTC
Here's an update for f35:

Comment 7 Ben Cotton 2022-02-08 21:30:51 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 36 development cycle.
Changing version to 36.

Comment 8 Ben Cotton 2023-04-25 18:27:07 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '36'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 9 Ludek Smid 2023-05-25 19:35:47 UTC
Fedora Linux 36 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2023-05-16.

Fedora Linux 36 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
