[parted-devel] Test Results for parted-3.1.90 in Different Distros

[Curtis Gedak]

To help with the upcoming parted release, I tested parted-3.1.90 on a 
few different GNU/Linux distributions.  Following are the test results:


TEST 1:  Run 'make check' as user and as root:

Debian 7 - One fail - t0251-gpt-unicode

      bug#17943: parted-3.1.90 alpha make check fails t0251-gpt-unicode 
on Debian 7
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2014-07/msg00013.html

Fedora 20 - Pass

      No failures encountered.

OpenSUSE 13.1 - One fail - t1700-probe-fs

      t1700-probe-fs failed due to "mkfs.nilfs2: invalid option -- 'f'"

Ubuntu 14.04 - Pass*

      *t3000-resize-fs failed, but due to inability to create 550 mb 
scsi_debug device


TEST 2:  Compile and run GParted 0.19.1 with parted-3.1.90

      All operations I tried passed.


In my opinion the above test failures are minor and limited to the test 
scripts only.  None of the tests indicate problems in parted or 
libparted in the parted-3.1.90 tarball.
