[Python-Dev] 2.1.2 testing.

[Anthony Baxter]

Has anyone had a chance to test that 2.1.2 builds and works correctly 
on anything? I'm testing on the following systems. sourceforge compile
farm boxes are marked as such, compaq testdrive boxes to arrive as well[1].

For each, a fresh cvs export, followed by ./configure ; make ; make test.

Are there additional useful tests that could be run?

Linux/x86               Redhat 6.2                     PASSED
Linux/x86               Redhat 7.1                     PASSED

Linux/sparc             Debian 2.2 (cf.sf.net)         FAILED
This is scary. I don't know why this one alone fails - it fails the
test_math test.

Running the test by hand:
    anthonybaxter@usf-cf-sparc-linux-1:~/python212_linxsparc$ PYTHONPATH= ./python  ./Lib/test/test_math.py
    math module, testing with eps 1e-05
    constants
    acos
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "./Lib/test/test_math.py", line 21, in ?
        testit('acos(-1)', math.acos(-1), math.pi)
    OverflowError: math range error

Running math.acos(-1) gives the correct answer. Anyone got any idea?

I couldn't get py212 to build on our remaining solaris/x86 box, but then
I can't get 2.1.1 to build on it either, without a whole lot of manual 
hackery - so I don't care about that. It's just a stuffed machine. :)

I was hoping to test on MacOS X, but the cf.sf.net boxes aren't
answering... anyone else want to give it a go?

[1] sheesh. had to install telnet for the compaq boxes. first time I've not
had ssh access somewhere for a while. . . (plus, they don't have cvs. sigh.)
