Build log (bzip2)

[Comment 2 Stelian Ionescu 2009-11-23 14:47:40 UTC]

One test fails because of ECONNREFUSED when connecting to /dev/log.
I think that the problem lay in the tinderbox configuration, not in SBCL.

[Comment 3 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2009-11-23 15:22:39 UTC]

Well, it really shouldn't fail to *build* if the syslog is inaccessible, should it?

[Comment 4 Stelian Ionescu 2009-11-23 15:30:10 UTC]

Upstream policy is that contrib tests are always run and build fails if they don't all pass

[Comment 5 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2009-11-23 15:46:54 UTC]

And Gentoo policy states that tests should be separated and build shouldn't fail if syslog is not working…

[Comment 6 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2009-11-30 08:47:48 UTC]

As a workaround for this issue I removed /dev/log from the build host. I think since it builds successfully without /dev/log it's safe to drop this exact test, or at least make failure non fatal.

[Comment 9 Stelian Ionescu 2009-12-03 15:50:02 UTC]

@Bronsa: Your build fails because of a different error:

unhandled SIMPLE-ERROR in thread #<SB-THREAD:THREAD "initial thread" RUNNING {1002A030A1}>:
  couldn't fork child process: Cannot allocate memory

You seem to be running out of virtual memory and I have the impression that it's because you're using tmpfs on /var/tmp/portage. Try to disable tmpfs and recompile

If you can still reproduce with current stable, 1.0.55-r1, bug 326217, please reopen the bug.
