Hello, I see 3 test failures in t4202: expecting success: test_patch_id_file_order irrelevant --stable --stable Already on 'same' cmp: cannot open patch-id_ordered-ordered-order---stable-irrelevant not ok 7 - file order is irrelevant with --stable # # test_patch_id_file_order irrelevant --stable --stable # expecting success: test_patch_id_file_order relevant --unstable --unstable Already on 'same' cmp: cannot open patch-id_ordered-ordered-order---unstable-relevant [..] expecting success: test_config patchid.stable true && test_patch_id irrelevant patchid.stable=true Already on 'same' cmp: cannot open patch-id_ordered-ordered-order-patchid.stable=true-irrelevant not ok 10 - patchid.stable = true is stable # # test_config patchid.stable true && # test_patch_id irrelevant patchid.stable=true # [..] expecting success: test_config patchid.stable false && test_patch_id irrelevant patchid.stable=false--stable --stable Already on 'same' cmp: cannot open patch-id_ordered-ordered-order-patchid.stable=false--stable-irrelevant not ok 13 - --stable overrides patchid.stable = false # # test_config patchid.stable false && # test_patch_id irrelevant patchid.stable=false--stable --stable # Please notice the double "ordered"! >From my point of view there is a problem in the function calc_patch_id() which changes the variable $name and causes the test to fail. Essentially it's working like this: <snip> #!/bin/bash func1() { name=${1} echo "func1 name=$name" } func2() { name=${1} echo "func2 name=$name" func1 "ordered-$name" echo "func2 again name=$name" } func2 foo <snip> which prints in bash, ksh88 and ksh93 on Linux and AIX the same func2 name=foo func1 name=ordered-foo func2 again name=ordered-foo I wonder if those 3 tests ever worked... and why? :-) A suggested patch would be to rename $name inside calc_patch_id into something else except $name... e.g. $pname.
