rmax-ipv6-branch


Update: As of 2010-09-28 the branch has been merged to CVS HEAD, so the IPv6 changes can now be tested there.


Testing the upcoming IPv6 support for Tcl

This page collects test results from the CVS branch that adds IPv6 support to Tcl.

To help with the testing, pull the rmax-ipv6-branch from Tcl's CVS (details here ) and run the usual configure/make/make test sequence on it.

Please update the table to reflect the current state of testing.

Instructions for editing the Table

  • If make test on rmax-ipv6-branch shows failures that are not present in the rmax-ipv6-merge tag, report FAIL, otherwise report OK.
  • If the branch used to be working, but breaks at some point, leave the OK entry there and add a FAIL entry below it.
  • If it used to fail before, but works now, update the existing line.
  • For FAIL entries, please add a section below the table and paste a representative sample of the output of failing tests.

Pulling the branch from CVS

Run the following two commands while in the directory into which you want to put the checkout.

cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/tcl login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/tcl co -P -r rmax-ipv6-branch tcl

Once you have checked it out, you can use cvs up from within the tcl directory to pull the latest version.
Use cvs up -r rmax-ipv6-merge and cvs up -r rmax-ipv6-branch to switch between the two tags for comparing test results.
Alternatively you can rename the tcl directory and do a second checkout with the other tag to have the two versions side by side.
