Guys,

I’ll take a look at e.g. gerrit 9440, ip_frag.c and see if I can fix it.

Under the circumstances, it seems perfectly OK to s/ON/OFF/ as needed in the 
per-file patch verification on/off switch:

/*
* fd.io coding-style-patch-verification: ON
*
* Local Variables:
* eval: (c-set-style "gnu")
* End:
*/

Thanks… Dave

Folks,

I'm hearing from multiple people that OpenSUSE verify job is failing (again).
I haven't heard (or read) anything over the mailing list otherwise I would have
looked into it.
Also, if you hear anything like that you can always ping me directly and I will
look into it...

yes, people pinging me...
See
https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/9440/

also:

https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/9813/ - abandoned but it shows that something was 
wrong

Ok, so just summarizing our conversation on IRC for others too.

That issue is connected to the different versions of INDENT (C checkstyle) 
installed on the different distros.

openSUSE runs 2.2.10 whilst CentOS and Ubuntu run 2.2.11

What strikes me is that the upstream repo https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/indent/ has 
2.2.10 as last revision.
Our indent package maintainer is looking at possible other sources where Indent 
could "live" these days and will let me know as soon as she finds out.

@Thomas Herbert, would you know the source where the Indent package on CentOS 
come from? Maybe that could help...





So generally speaking i would like to question having verify jobs for multiple
distros.
Is there really a value in compiling same code on different distros. Yes I
know gcc version can be different,
but that can be addressed in simpler way, if it needs to be addressed at all.

More distros means more moving parts and bigger chance that something will
fail.
Well, I am not sure how to interpret this but (in theory) a build should be
reproducible in the first place and I should not worry about problems with build
outcomes. It doesn't only affect openSUSE and I raised it many times over the
mailing-list; when you need to run "recheck" multiple times to have a build
succeed. IMHO the issue should be addressed and not solved by putting it under
the carpet...

We all know that we have extreme fragile system, as obviously we are not be 
able to
fix that in almost 2 years, so as long as the system is as it increasing 
complexity doesn't help
and just causes frustration.

Also it cost resources....
That is a different matter and if that's the case then it should be discussed
seriously; raising this argument now, after having had people investing their
times in getting stuff up and running isn't really a cool thing...

Marco, decision to have verify jobs on 2 distros was made much before you 
joined the project,
and I don't remember serious decision on that topic, it might be that at that 
time
we were simply unexperienced, or maybe we didn't expect infra to be so fragile.

Fact is that now we have ridiculous situation, 2 verify jobs says patch is OK, 
3rd one says
it is not. Which one to trust?

So please don't take this personal, i know you invested time to get suse build 
working, but still
I think it is a valid question to ask, do we really need 3 verify jobs. Should 
we have 4 tomorrow
if somebody invest his time to do verify job on Archlinux for example?

Thanks,

Damjan
