rcs-5.10.0 Test t790 fails on CentOS 8 Linux 4.18.0 x86-64

[Sven Neuhaus]

Hello rcs bugkeepers,

 

I’m trying to build rcs on CentOS 8. I’m using the Fedora 34 src RPM package rcs-5.10.0-2.fc34 that contains rcs-5.10.0.

The error message I am getting is:

 

FAIL: t790

================================

1 of 62 tests failed

Please report to bug-rcs@gnu.org

 

I had a look and here’s the contents of rcs-5.10.0/tests/t790.d/out:

 

rcsclean: warning: redefinition of -k option

x,v  -->  x

revision 1.1 (unlocked)

done

y,v  -->  y

revision 1.1 (unlocked)

done

rm -f x

rm -f y

PROBLEM: cwd not readable, but rcsclean did not fail

 

 

I’m using Linux 4.18.0 and the filesystem is xfs.

 

Is this a known issue? Do you need anything else from me?

 

Best regards,
