Changes for version 8.122

  • cpan_testers: o adapt to a world where gcc is no more the apex predator (aka works out of the box when there's clang but not gcc) o bundled genhdlist2 and fallback to it if CPAN failed to install rpmtools scripts o check & report where genhdlist2 is o check that web server has actually started o describe more tests to help pinpoint regressions o display RPM version in cpan-testers logs o do not fail test when libnss.so is not found in Debian 9 or FreeBSD o fix failing to build some rpms on FreeBSD o fix failing tests when serving over HTTP from within /root o fix test with rpm < 4.13 on CentOS7 o make sure genhdlist2 works o perform some file conflict tests only on Mageia o try harder to find genhdlist2 in uninstalled CPAN modules o work without glibc-static-devel o workaround %find_lang sometimes failing on FreeBSD
  • library: o enhance the doc o fix rpm version check causing strange warning messages: "shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory"
  • testsuite: o add more extensive tests o describe it more o disable fsync/fdatasync while running tests o make it more robust o make sure simple-httpd is really killed once tests are completed o retry if curl failed with timeout
