Hi,
the current version fails to build on GNU/kFreeBSD
due to failure in tests/tail-2/wait.
The problem is that GNU/kFreeBSD is not inotify capable
and the current default of --max-unchanged-stats is 5.
It together with
- second time stamp precision of underlying filesystems
- -s.1
- sleep .5
might easily lead into that in
if ((max_n_unchanged_stats_between_opens
<= f[i].n_unchanged_stats++)
&& follow_mode == Follow_name)
{
recheck (&f[i], f[i].blocking);
f[i].n_unchanged_stats = 0;
}
the recheck is not done before "echo NO" happens in the test:
touch k
mv k l
sleep .5
echo NO >> l
The corresponding code above is not used for inotify capable systems.
Please change the test as shown bellow.
