Dear GHC-Team,
to improve the quality of Haskell on Debian started to package the GHC
testsuite in a package of its own, and will upload it to Debian so that
it runs on all architectures and catches possible architecture-dependent
bugs there.
Using the released testsuite for 7.0.4 with that version of the
compiler, and running it with
SKIPWAY="optc profc optllvm" fast=YES
I get this result:
OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Sa 7. Jan 17:45:54 CET 2012
2612 total tests, which gave rise to
10986 test cases, of which
0 caused framework failures
8642 were skipped
2267 expected passes
59 expected failures
0 unexpected passes
18 unexpected failures
Unexpected failures:
3586(normal)
Chan001(normal)
MVar001(normal)
QSem001(normal)
QSemN001(normal)
SampleVar001(normal)
T1969(normal)
T3064(normal)
T3087(normal)
T3294(normal)
T4316(ghci)
T4801(normal)
cgrun025(normal)
driver027(normal)
driver028(normal)
ghci014(ghci)
ghcpkg05(normal)
regex003(normal)
Is that normal to find unexpected failures of the release testsuite on a
“normal” system? Would it be reasonable to have the released testsuite,
at least in fast mode, complete without unexpected failures so that I
can be sure that any unexpected failure implies some problem in the
compiler?
Should I file bug reports about unexpected failures found in the latest
testsuite, once I get around to package and run that?
And a minor request, in case someone feels like touching the test
driver: It would be nice if the summary lists all library packages that
are not installed but required by some test, i.e. the libraries that
ought to be added to the Build-Dependency of the test suite to get a
more complete coverage.
I could not attach the build log, as it is too large, but you can find
it here:

Thanks,
Joachim
