[Mod-security-developers] Tests failing in some archs (s390x, ppc64, sparc64)

[Alberto G. I. <ag...@in...>]

Hi,

The build daemons at Debian are failing the test suite for modsecurity
3.x. There are two failures I could use some help on:

1) 
./regression_tests .././test/test-cases/regression/variable-ENV.json:1
:test-result: FAIL variable-ENV.json:Testing Variables :: ENV (2/3)

My guess is that build daemon don't have the TERM variable set, and I'm
pondering disabling this test unless someone claims this is a bad idea.

2) But the ones that are really beyond my understanding are those in:
test/test-cases/secrules-language-tests/operators/ipMatch.json
Failing in s390, ppc64 and sparc64. I suspect they may be related to
endianness, but I really need help with those. You may find the build
logs here [1].

If we get this solved quickly, modsecurity 3.x will be available in
Debian's next release. [2]


Thanks,

Alberto
