Description Petr Muller 2009-05-07 15:10:30 UTC

Description of problem:
Three of the testcases in systemtap-testsuite rpm are treated as executables, but the are not in fact. This brings bogus failures to the results of the testsuite. They are:

a) systemtap.base/bz10078.stp
b) buildko/two.stp
c) buildok/thirty.stp

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -q systemtap-testsuite
systemtap-testsuite-0.9.7-1.el5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. for a) runtest --tool=systemtap systemtap.base/bz10078.exp
2. for b) runtest --tool=systemtap systemtap.pass1-4/buildko.exp
3. for c) runtest --tool=systemtap systemtap.pass1-4/buildok.exp
  
Actual results:
ERROR: tcl error sourcing ./systemtap.base/bz10078.exp
ERROR: couldn't execute "./systemtap.base/bz10078.stp": permission denied

ERROR: tcl error sourcing ./systemtap.pass1-4/buildko.exp.
ERROR: couldn't execute "./buildko/two.stp": permission denied

ERROR: tcl error sourcing ./systemtap.pass1-4/buildok.exp.
ERROR: couldn't execute "./buildok/thirty.stp": permission denied

Expected results:
After chmod a+x -ing, I see no such ERRORs and get some relevant results.

Additional info:
This manifests even when runnning the whole testsuite with 'make installcheck'

Comment 1 Frank Ch. Eigler 2009-05-07 15:26:42 UTC

Thanks, fixed upstream.  It wouldn't be worth respinning just for this,
but we could easily lump it into the next incidental respin.

Since permissions can't be changed with a plain .patch file,
fixing this in the rhel 0.9.7 build would take a few explicit chmod's
in the spec file.
