Description Dmitry Butskoy 2007-02-02 13:56:43 UTC

I maintain "php-extras" package, which includes "php-mhash" subpackage.
The "php-extras" shares the same source as the main php package in Core (i.e.,
its idea is to compile some of modules not compiled for Core by default).

There are a couple of tests in the php tarball, such tests are used by both
Core's "php" and "php-extras" to check the compiled modules (in the "%check"
.spec section).

When I tried recently to re-build my "php-extras" for "devel" target, the test
for "mhash" php module was failed under "ppc" arch.

The i386 and x86_64 arches are OK for the same "mhash" test.
Another modules' tests was succeed under PPC, except "mhash" test.
It seems to me that it is not PHP issue, it looks like some mhash library issue.
Since the devel/fc7 target has mhash undated to 0.9.7.1 (from 0.9.2 in the
previous Fedora releases) it seems that the PPC issue just was introduced by
this update.

I've found some mhash's own testing stuff (in "src/" subdir of the tarball).

Could you add some "%check" section to mhash's .spec file to make sure the
package is built properly for PPC arch? (Such check will be executed for all 3
arches in the buildsystem, including i386, ppc and x86_64).
Or maybe you have access to some PPC machine to test that manually?

I'm going to add %check shortly and submit a test-build. I don't have
a ppc machine, and upstream has not responded to all bug reports either.
E.g. there have been rumours about breakage on some big-endian hw, and
ppc is big-endian, too.

Unfortunately, my mail to maintainers-list, from Nov last year, about
this upgrade has not seen any reply. I've tried to stay at the known
good 0.9.2 for a very long time, skipped many versions, such as 0.9.3
and 0.9.4.
