Are we trimming platform-specific FAQs as we move forward? I figured an
FAQ just got more accurate. And I only backpatch to the most recent
branch.
Are you talking about this?
- The parallel regression test script (gmake check) is known to lock up- on PA-RISC when run under HP's Bourne shells:
/usr/bin/shand- /sbin/sh. To fix this problem, you will need PHCO_30269 with its- dependent patch or successor
patches:-- PHCO_30269 s700_800 cumulative sh-posix(1) patch- PHCO_29816 s700_800 rc(1M) scripts cumulative
patch--To work around this problem, use ksh to run the regression script:-- gmake SHELL=/bin/ksh check-- If you
seethat the tests have stopped making progress and only a shell- process is consuming CPU, kill the shell process and
startover with the- above command.
This was removed in CVS HEAD, but it imagine it applies to 8.1.X because
the regression test is still a shell script in 8.1.X. I will re-add it,
but in general it seems like we win more than lose by copying the FAQ's
backward, partly because I don't usually apply them to the back
branches.
