Kees,

If you could get to his as soon as possible that would be great!

Thanks

Given that this is a crypto-wrapper, I would greatly prefer that the testsuite is set up to run (and pass) during the build. The current 2009 CVEs look pretty strange (most are disputed or minor), but I would want to see any standing open CVEs to be solved before Karmic releases as well. If this is a blocker, I'm fine with this going into main early, with the expectation that the above issues are fixed before Karmic is finalized.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

I've promoted this as a blocker, but am leaving this bug open as release-critical to ensure that it gets addressed.

Pitti,

The testsuite has been fixed and enabled it should be kosher now.

Failed to build with

test_HTTPS (tests.test_ssl.HttpslibSSLClientTestCase) ... make: *** [build-stamp] Terminated

Does this need a network connection? (ideally a test suite should only use localhost)

[Chuck Short (zulcss)]

Pitti,

I tried the past couple of days to fix this however the testsuite will still fail with the same error above.I tried updating the packaging my ppa but it still exhibits the same problem.

Regads

As discussed on IRC, let's || true the test suite for now, so that it doesn't fail the build on the buildds. This will keep comparable test outputs in the build logs, and local developers can still run it fully to test changes (it works locally).

[Chuck Short (zulcss)]

Hi,

Ive uploaded the new version of m2crypto which the testsuite is enabled but it wont fail if it doesnt pass properly. I am going to open a bug in the upstream bug tracker about the testsuite failing if there is no network.

Regards

Hi,

Enabling || true, the testsuite still timeouts the buildds. It looks like to me that the test that causes the build never finishes because the buldds timeout. My suggestion is to disable the testsuite and get this fixed properly for karmic +1.

Is this satisfactory to the MIR team for karmic, in which case we should 'wontfix' the karmic target?

[Chuck Short (zulcss)]

From earlier today:

<pitti> yes, makes sense
 we have worse bugs to deal with now
 thanks a lot for trying, though
<zul> no probs im going to upload it and ill ping you when its built

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Right. I filed bug 451998 about running the test suite by default.
