Hi Randall,

Just a few small nits from RC2 test results on the NonStop TNS/E
platform:

1. t0021 subtest 15 is being flakey. It fails on the first run (make
-k
test) but succeeds when run in isolation. This is new on the NonStop
TNS/E platform. t0021 has been a bit flakey in the past, but not
recently. Just thought I'd mention it. It's only slightly
disconcerting because I make very heavy use of smudge filters but
since it runs fine in isolation, I'm going to assume it is fine. We
had one unsubstantiated report of an occasional misfire of smudge
filters, but no substantive evidence at this point to reproduce the

situation.

t0021.15 is indeed flaky, and not only for NonStop. It is so flaky,
even,

that I

Thanks.

2. t7519 subtest 25 still does not pass (previously reported for
RC1) when run via "make -k test" the first time. This runs
successfully when run in isolation or the second time.

I offered a fix for that in js/fsmonitor-unflake, and it already made

`next` (and hopefully into v2.22.0) as you can see here:
https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/commit/b5a81697520 (look for the
branch symbol below the commit message).

I'll keep an eye out for it. We are good with RC2 anyway.

3. t9001, t9020, t9600, t9601, t9602, t9604, fail, but should not
run on platform (not new, just a reminder). We do not have sendmail
or subversion.

At least for Subversion, this should be detected. For send-email, I
don't know... There *was* a bug in t9001 where it failed to mark a
send-email tests cases with the `PERL` prerequisite, but that was
fixed, and I guess

you

have Perl anyway?

Yes, we do have Perl on the box. However, the send-email functions do not
work - probably missing modules. As far as SVN goes, we have the git SVN
modules, but not the actual SVM modules in our Perl. There has been some
effort to port those, but we have had CPAN issues for a while now. I am
trying to find a resource to help with porting - personally, I could

really use

the SVN module to allow svn2git to function on box. That would make my
life a whole lot easier.

RC3 shows no new breaks on NonStop. We are good with approving this one.

Kind Regards,
Randall
