dovecot - Jan 2021 - status of test code

Update:I was finally able to build 2.3.13 on centos 8 (8.3). I managed this by
going back to the qmailtoaster spec file, removing a few things no longer
relevant (vpopmail) and disabling all the tests. Most tests were still running
but there were also many that did not. The good news is the resulting executable
in the RPM no longer complains about not being able to find libdovecot.so.
i've done some basic testing on imap and everything appears to be
working.Someone who maintains the tests and rpm build should really have a look.
Doing a build on a fresh centos 8 machine, as I was able to with the
qmailtoaster source rpm, should really be much simpler. My impression is the
current spec file may have edits that were eroneously committed??SteveSent from

Subject:status of test codeHi,

I'm continuing to try to build 2.3.13 with a source RPM.

At this
 point I've taken the source zip file and I'm working with the
previously working qmailtoaster SPEC file and RPM build process.

The toaster SPEC file runs the built-in dovecot tests after build... 2.3.11
would make it through all the tests with a few minor exceptions.

2.3.13 seems no longer able to run the test is lib-ssl-iostream or lib-lua (and
perhaps others, but that's as far as I've gotten).

I can selectively disable the tests to make progress, but it raises the question
of what the plans are for the built-in tests.

Also, I continue to not be able to find where all the testing is turned on/off
at once? I'm sure it will be obvious when someone tells me but
please tell me, because I'm pulling my hair out.

Steve

Thanks for the update, we'll check it out and see if there is something to
