= Work done last week:
* Time spent on elfutils: ~80%
* Mass testing. My debuginfo tree got somehow screwed up, and the
test failed on file-not-found errors quite often. Some files that were
supposed to be .debug.bz2 were plain .debug. Eventually got fed up with
having to manually compress fails and re-launch the test each time
around, and wrote a small script that found all such files and zipped them.
** In first round, I was focusing on catastrophic failures. The
test yielded two if I recall.
** In second round, I was actually looking at error messages.
At the beginning, almost literally all packages had failures. I
revisited each case that I found, and either confirmed that the file is
indeed buggy, or fixed dwarflint otherwise. Messages that were too
frequent ended up in exclusions file. I used that to grep -vf dwarflint
output.
** By friday afternoon, after fixing a handful of bugs, I had
dwarflint in a sort of stable point, where it didn't file thousands of
(bogus) failures per hour, so I let it run and went home. The test
eventually finished with "too many symlinks" error, and 31998 filed
failures.
= Work scheduled next:
* Expected time spent on elfutils: 80%.
* Finish mass testing.
* Roland, what's the next big item on our list?
