Hi, https://bugs.debian.org/743238 contains IMHO a hilarious reason for a FTBFS: ----- Forwarded message from Jakub Wilk <[email protected]> ----- Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2014 23:20:57 +0200 From: Jakub Wilk <[email protected]> To: [email protected], James Dietrich <[email protected]> Subject: Bug#743238: taskwarrior: FTBFS on Wheezy Control: severity -1 serious Control: retitle -1 taskwarrior: FTBFS on the last day of the month: test/count.t fails Thanks for debugging. This is very helpful. :-) * James Dietrich <[email protected]>, 2014-03-31, 16:44: >> The actual failure reason is: >> >> # /usr/local/taskwarrior/task-2.3.0+dfsg/test/count.t > > Hmmm.... I took a quick look at count.t and found this comment: > > # TODO This fails when today == eom. Eeeek! :-( > If I'm understanding this correctly, it looks like one shouldn't > try to build taskwarrior on the last day of the month, such as > today. I guess I should try again tomorrow, and probably everything > will work. I believe that your analysis is correct. When I run the tests with rigged date (using faketime(1)), they ceased failing. > If this is correct, perhaps this bugreport should be retitled to > "FTBFS on the last day of the month" Done. I also adjusted severity accordingly. > and linked to an upstream bug report. I'll do it soon. -- Jakub Wilk ----- End forwarded message ----- Regards, Axel -- ,''`. | Axel Beckert <[email protected]>, http://people.debian.org/~abe/ : :' : | Debian Developer, ftp.ch.debian.org Admin `. `' | 1024D: F067 EA27 26B9 C3FC 1486 202E C09E 1D89 9593 0EDE `- | 4096R: 2517 B724 C5F6 CA99 5329 6E61 2FF9 CD59 6126 16B5
