get Redhat tree copies working #151
Conversation
I thought only redirection in the login shell was a problem, but anyways completing implementation of the work-around for the redirection bug on redhat.
working on a cleaner version of REDIRECTION_BUG ... hang on... |
with the latest bug... all of the tests of re-direction are back in the test suite. The only thing needed was to ensure a sub-shell was spawned to get the re-direction to behave properly. So now, I know it's almost fully working on redhat (8 and 9) There is one niggling test I still have to put a guard around with KNOWN_REDIRECTION_BUG, a touch that should not generate a post because the minimum interval should suppress it... works on ubuntu, but not redhat... reuires further investigation, but still what is here is a big improvement. |

We'll do a final test when releasing the package
Got redhat tree copies working
Added a KNOWN_REDIRECTION_BUG switch into the shim library tests, and provided alternatives or
disabled all the tests that will fail.
I'm pretty sure it was only in the login/initial shell before, and that subshells would work, but I'm just
making the tests pass for now to have a baseline of working sanity tests. Consider this a work-around
Have to investigate the redirection issue separately.
Also beefed up documentation about how to build considerably... example of "make" run, and some description of the test Makefile targets.
