[GNU tar 1.32] testsuite: 89 failed

[Nicola Soranzo]

Hi there,
now that 172, 173 and 174 have been fixed in commit 14f00a2c7adefcbe50e85f6bf2ebce922e0dceb0 , I have added that commit as a patch to the conda recipe for tar 1.32:

https://github.com/conda-forge/tar-feedstock/pull/8/commits/abe70718d59d52f716afeccf856785a38263eb42

Now only test 89 is failing for the "make check" step of the macOS build on Azure. The full output, followed by the content of "tests/testsuite.log", is available at:

https://dev.azure.com/conda-forge/feedstock-builds/_build/results?buildId=99885

This is an extract with details for failed test 89:

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi there,
I am trying to add the macOS package for the latest version of GNU tar
to Conda: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/tar
I think the 4 tests mentioned in the title broke on macOS some time
after the release of 1.29.

The conda-forge package for GNU tar is maintained at
https://github.com/conda-forge/tar-feedstock
My pull request to re-add macOS support is:
https://github.com/conda-forge/tar-feedstock/pull/8
The "osx osx_" build on Azure fails at the "make check" step. The full
output, followed by the content of "tests/testsuite.log", is available
at
https://dev.azure.com/conda-forge/feedstock-builds/_build/results?buildId=95538

Hopefully that's enough information for you to debug the issues.

Cheers,
Nicola
