[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#764650: zsh: FTBFS with noatime mounts

[Thorsten Glaser]

Source: zsh
Version: 5.0.6-3
Severity: important
Justification: FTBFS, but maybe m68k are the only ones with noatime?
Tags: upstream

../../Test/C02cond.ztst: test failed.
The following may (or may not) help identifying the cause:
  This test can fail on NFS-mounted filesystems as the access and
  modification times are not updated separately.  The test will fail
  on HFS+ (Apple Mac OS X default) filesystems because access times
  are not recorded.  Also, Linux ext3 filesystems may be mounted
  with the noatime option which does not update access times.
  Failures in these cases do not indicate a problem in the shell.

../../Test/Y03arguments.ztst: all tests successful.

If it doesn’t matter if the test fails, the testsuite runner
may not 'exit 1' on account of it either, failing the build.
I fixed that in mksh’s testsuite runner some time ago too…
