There are still some tests in the test suite failing on macOS for me.

Run on 1/120/2019 against about commit 2ae2dcf0f4d5.

Summary:

  PASS                            15453
  FAIL                               10
  XFAIL (reported bug)               43
  SKIP (missing feature)             48
  SKIP (run-time condition)          29

  Failed tests:
     libinterp/corefcn/pr-output.cc-tst
     libinterp/parse-tree/oct-parse.yy-tst
     general/logspace.m
     miscellaneous/tar.m
     plot/util/copyobj.m
     plot/util/hgsave.m
     sparse/eigs.m

Is the goal to have a clean test suite baseline for the release?

Cheers,
Andrew
