media-gfx/graphite2-1.3.9 uselessly doesn't fail any test that is meaningful. It passes its entire core test suite, and passes a perl module loading test, but then fails on a cosmetic "you didn't document this function" test: * Test::Harness Jobs=4 # Testing Text::Gr2 0.01, Perl 5.022003, /usr/bin/perl t/00-load.t ....... ok # Failed test 'Pod coverage on Text::Gr2' # at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22.3/Test/Pod/Coverage.pm line 133. # Coverage for Text::Gr2 is 50.0%, with 2 naked subroutines: # gr_start_logging # gr_stop_logging # Looks like you failed 1 test of 8. t/pod-coverage.t .. Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100) Failed 1/8 subtests t/pod.t ........... t/pod.t ........... 8/8 t/pod.t ........... ok This is basically a case that can't be fixed by anyone other than upstream, and its not a functional problem from a users perspective. This is why I pretty much standard nuke any such tests in dev-perl/ on sight. I see this is a known problem in "src_test": # Perl tests fail due to missing POD coverage... But this is not very helpful to the end user, as it means their test suite fails when their software is fine. Depending on what you're doing, a well placed: rm t/pod.t t/pod-coverage.t Might be sufficient. However, I locally tested this: src_test() { cmake-multilib_src_test if use perl; then + perl_rm_files "contrib/perl/t/pod.t" "contrib/perl/t/pod-coverage.t" cd contrib/perl || die # SRC_TEST=do # Perl tests fail due to missing POD coverage... perl-module_src_test fi } And the results were satisfactory.
