Hello, Thanks for the patch, it looks interesting but: * Can you follow instruction at [0] to setup git-send-email to send properly formatted patches (yours is an attachment whereas the supported format is "inline") ? * Use "[YOCTO #xxx]" to reference the bug you are trying to fix * Fix you upstream discussion reference (either add the link or remove the reference) [0]: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/contributor-guide/submit-changes.html#sending-the-patches-via-email Thanks! > > ________________________________ > From: Aditya GS > Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2026 11:06 AM > To: [email protected] > <[email protected]> > Subject: PATCH gawk: ptest: disable randtest due to nondeterministic behavior > > Hi, This is a patch for disabling randtest in the gawk ptest suite.
