** Project changed: stress-ng => stress-ng (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: stress-ng (Ubuntu Eoan) Importance: Undecided Status: New
** Description changed: + == SRU [Eoan] == + stress-ng --timer 1 --timer-freq 100000 --timer-slack -t 1 runs for a whole day and not 1 second. The timer-slack option eats the -t1 arg because it is defined as having an arg when in fact it is a zero arg option. + + == Fix == + + Upstream fix (in Focal): + + commit e044133ed6ebdbac16775d8ae0d130bc2dac96ea + Author: Colin Ian King <colin.k...@canonical.com> + Date: Mon Nov 25 12:05:30 2019 +0000 + + Fix --timer-slack from consuming the following arg (LP: #1853832) + + == Test == + + stress-ng --timer 1 --timer-freq 100000 --timer-slack -t 1 + + Without the fix, this will run by default for 24 hours. With the fix + the -t option is parsed and it will run for 1 second as intended. + + == Regression Potential == + + This is a one line arg parsing change so change set is really limited to + this one --timer-slack option. Users may find the behaviour now changes + because it no longer consumes the next arg and hence the next arg works + and hence changes functionality. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853832 Title: stress-ng --timer-slack option should be a zero arg option, it current eats the next arg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/stress-ng/+bug/1853832/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
