New submission from Charles-François Natali <[email protected]>:
Linus recently decided that the next Linux kernel version would 3.0 [1].
As a consequence, sys.platform (which is actually MACHDEP) will be 'linux3' on
machines running Linux 3 kernels, and tests checking explicitely against
'linux2' will either break and won't run.
A quick grep through the code base returns only a couple problematic places,
but this should definitely be fixed.
For information, here's a - probably incomplete - list of such occurrences:
"""
./Lib/test/test_logging.py: if sys.platform in ('linux2', 'darwin'):
./Lib/test/test_sysconfig.py: sys.platform = 'linux2'
./Lib/test/regrtest.py: 'linux2':
./Lib/test/test_socket.py: if sys.platform == 'linux2':
./Lib/test/test_tarfile.py: if sys.platform == "linux2":
./Lib/distutils/tests/test_bdist_rpm.py: if sys.platform != 'linux2':
./Lib/distutils/tests/test_bdist_rpm.py: if sys.platform != 'linux2':
./Lib/distutils/tests/test_util.py: sys.platform = 'linux2'
./Lib/packaging/tests/test_config.py: inotify (0.0.1); sys.platform == 'linux2'
./Lib/packaging/tests/test_config.py: "inotify (0.0.1);
sys.platform == 'linux2'"]
./setup.py: if (platform in ('linux2', 'freebsd4', 'freebsd5',
'freebsd6',
