Bugzilla Bug 200173

So just we can cleanup the old one, and the new one is plenty of resolved bugs.

Created an attachment (id=136884) [details]
libarchive-2.4.0-r1 build.log

fails to compile the test suite on a fresh install:
In file included from cpio/cmdline.c:28:
cpio/cpio_platform.h:62:21: error: archive.h: No such file or directory
cpio/cpio_platform.h:63:27: error: archive_entry.h: No such file or directory

and fails to run it when upgrading, see attached build.log
seems to work though - do you want to fix the test suite first?

After installing it once, it doesn't hit those but.

Doesn't look right.

(bugspam, aye..)

(bugspam continuing..)

Missed that .so in /usr/lib64 is only a "GNU ld script" so those are correct.

Test suite however is broken.

FYI,

I've mailed upstream, he replied quickly and released 2.4.2 which is now in
tree fixing most of the test suite -- but, it still has 1 test failing.

Waiting for a reply.

Update, thanks to Tim from upstream (again) 2.4.4 no longer needs the acl/xattr
patch used in 2.4.2 and previous version and test suite is yet again improved
but i'm afraid it still fails at

Contacted Tim again, and waiting for a reply ;-)

2.4.5 in tree, and test suite is fixed (everything reported at this bug, and
more)

flameeyes, how soon you want it stable? asap? i suggest you double check it's
still ok with bsd :-)

amd64 stable (libarchive-2.4.5) after it was also tested by folks at #-bsd.
