Hi!
the issue with TeX trip test was resolved, it turned out to be caused by
a missing check in texk/web2c/configure.ac for AC_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED, which
was introduced on 2009-03-20 while rewriting the build system, and this
resulted in broken tangle which produced incorrect output so TeX (and
possibly other WEB programs were broken).
now on AIX (where i'm using a compiler which has unsigned char), TeX
passes the tests.
i've re-run the tests on AIX, and now I see the following stats:
there are now 75 PASS: entries in the log, and the following SKIPs and
FAILs:
SKIP: tpic2pdftex.test
SKIP: ptexdir/sample.test
SKIP: tests/bibtex.test
SKIP: dvipng.test
FAIL: tests/bibtex-mem.test
FAIL: trap.test
FAIL: ptexdir/pbibtex-mem.test
FAIL: ptexdir/yokotate.test
FAIL: afm2pl.test
FAIL: tests/bibtex-mem.test
The most important of these seems to be a failing trap test for
METAFONT (it freezes, and I have to kill the process to finish it).
Best wishes,
v.
