RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: perl-5.10.1-141.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
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.

Description Martin Kyral 2015-03-12 09:41:29 UTC 
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:

Comment 2 Petr Pisar 2015-03-12 09:59:58 UTC 
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.
Comment 4 Martin Kyral 2015-03-13 08:16:30 UTC 
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.
Comment 5 Petr Pisar 2015-03-13 11:28:01 UTC 
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.
