Udev testsuite will cause failures in the logs

[archaic@…]

This is something that can make us who watch logs a lot rather nervous, when it is just the testsuite doing it' thing and is harmless.

What are you talking about? We need more details to address a problem.

Summary: Udev testsuite will cause failures in the logs

That's what I'm talking about. Run the udev testsuite and watch your logs. If a person doesn't know that udev's testsuite will generate errors in the logs, then they will think it's the udev rules themselves. IOW, something needs to be in the book in the line that mentions the testsuite.

What errors do you get? I rechecked and got:

udev-test will run 140 tests:
...
0 errors occured

block devices: 10/10
char devices: 91/91

[archaic@…]

Look in /var/log, not in build logs. sorry for the confusion. As for the exact errors, I haven't access to the logs right now.

[bdubbs@…]

I see messages in daemon.log and sys.log. I ran the test after the build, but I suspect the messages will show up in the host's logs when building by the book.

If we put in a note like:

To test the results, issue: make test. Note that this will produce numerous messages in your host system's logs.

will that satisfy this ticket?

Let's hope it's satisfactory because that's about what I committed. See r7739.
