commit 346229ec86ccdd1ef8ce3ecf770072a4627a5528 Author: Norbert Preining <prein...@debian.org> Date: Mon May 16 08:14:34 2016 +0900 try fixing test errors on icu-related progs With the respective changelog entry: texlive-bin (2016.20160513.41080-2) unstable; urgency=medium * uniform luajit options * try fixing test errors on icu-related progs * break context << 2016 due to luatex incompatibility (Closes: #824474) * syntax fix in rules * try to fix build/test errors on mips(el) and sparc (Closes: #824260) - make C(XX)FLAGS additive - remove mips(el) from luajit archs (debian/rules and /control) - disable upmendex on sparc/mips(el) -- Norbert Preining <prein...@debian.org> Wed, 18 May 2016 23:00:23 +0900 So please see bug #824260 where segfaults were reported for upmendex and xetex. Maybe recent ICU has fixed these issues? I can upload a new package that reverts these changes, or prepare a new package and we try to build it on mips/mipsel Debian builder machines. Let me know what you think! All the best Norbert -- PREINING Norbert + TeX Live & Debian Developer + http://www.preining.info GPG: 0x860CDC13 fp: F7D8 A928 26E3 16A1 9FA0 ACF0 6CAC A448 860C DC13
