Subject: Path.t: "nobody" user test fails on SunOS
Hi there, Installing perl 5.12.3. I have: $ grep nobody /etc/passwd nobody:x:60001:60001:NFS Anonymous Access User:/: nobody4:x:65534:65534:SunOS 4.x NFS Anonymous Access User:/: One test fails: $ prove -v ../cpan/File-Path/t/Path.t ... ok 89 - created a directory owned by nobody4... not ok 90 - ... owned by 65534 # Failed test '... owned by 65534' # at ../cpan/File-Path/t/Path.t line 477. # got: '60001' # expected: '65534' ... ok 93 - created a directory owned by nobody4:nogroup... not ok 94 - ... owned by 65534 # Failed test '... owned by 65534' # at ../cpan/File-Path/t/Path.t line 489. # got: '60001' # expected: '65534' Weird... ^m'e
Hello, could you please provide the Sun OS version and processor architecture? Thanks. On Mon Feb 14 04:24:37 2011, marcoep@gmail.com wrote: Show quoted text

I'm closing this ticket for (a) lack of response to the request for information above; and (b) the likelihood that we will never be able to test on this architecture in the future. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SunOS, the last release in the Sun OS 4.1.x series was in November 1994. "The SunOS name is usually only used to refer to versions 1.0 to 4.1.4 of SunOS. These versions were based on BSD, while SunOS version 5.0 and later are based on UNIX System V Release 4, and are marketed under the brand name Solaris." We *do* get CPANtesters reports for File-Path on Solaris, and those reports are PASSing. See, e.g., http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=File-Path%202.10_002;os=solaris;perl=5.22.0;reports=1. So unless we get fresh reports to the contrary, we can presume that File-Path is doing fine on the descendants of the SunOS. BingOS++ for the Solaris reports. Thank you very much. Jim Keenan
