OK, I started to install the test suite. Here are the problems:
- yacc is in /usr/ccs/bin/
As this is not in the default PATH for root, the yacc test fails
- tar has no 'z' option
(so I used star to extract)
- The tar files are not POSIX compliant (pease don't use GNUtar
but star to create portable archives).
- chown does not support "chown {user}.{group}"
"chown {user}:{group}" is the correct syntax.
Error message is:
Setting up ownership and permissions correctly
chown: unbekannte Benutzerkennung vsx0.vsxg0
... hope this helps to make you test more standard compliant.
Next question:
- Do I really need to run the test suite on Linux?
- is there a simple way to run only the tar tests?
