varnish is a high performance http accellerator. http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/ This is a posting about packaging varnish-2.0-prebeta-something. It is also a posting about strange behaviour in rpmbuild. It has been a while since varnish-1.1.x was submitted to Fedora, and a lot of people have asked for newer versions. Now, 2.0 is only a few days (read weeks) from release, and tech previews and betas are more or less available. So, I have started touching up the specfile for a Fedora release. I will probably submit the first public beta to rawhide, and perhaps push it for EPEL, and follow upstream till and through 2.0. In the following, the source used is a tarball from a svn checkout from trunk, generated for example like this: svn co http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/svn/trunk/varnish-cache tar cvzf varnish-cache.tar.gz varnish-cache The specfile used is based on the one used in Fedora for 1.1.x. It can be downloaded here: http://init.linpro.no/ingvar/varnish/varnish.spec Per default, it builds a working pre-alpha version of varnish 2.0. varnish-2.0 has a test suite. It is ran by 'make check'. The test suite runs a series of tests that checks if the build works as expected. Most of the tests starts a server at port 9080 and 9081, and runs some tests against the ports, parsing the output. Now, running 'make check' from a interactive shell on a Fedora 9 system works more or less as it should. It fails on one of the 72 tests on my intel/i386 box, and passes all the testes on my AMD based box. That is food for the upstream guys. But when I run the test suite from within rpmbuild, most of the tests fails or hangs every time, and the problem seems to be related to some missing communication between the test scripts and the test server process. The problem is not related to selinux. Is it possible at all to run this kind of tests from within rpmbuild? If so, I would be grateful if someone gave advice and/or had a look at the problem. The make check command is ready for decommenting in the specfile. Ingvar -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
