For the test suite, procps used to use sleep which would just create a process or two to test the tools against. Some setups coreutils creates all programs including sleep into one blob which means a lot of the tests fail, see issue #2 procps has its own sleep program now. |

How to use check suite ---------------------- You need DejaGNU package. Assuming you have it all you need to do is make check Something failed now what ------------------------- First determine what did not work. If only one check failed you can run it individually in debugging mode. For example runtest -a -de -v w.test/w.exp Expect binary is /usr/bin/expect Using /usr/share/dejagnu/runtest.exp as main test driver [...] Do not bother capturing screen output, it is in testrun.log which test suite generated. $ ls testrun.* dbg.log dbg.log testrun.log testrun.sum The reason why test failed should be in dbg.log. Assuming you figured out the reason you could write a patch fixing w.test/w.exp and send it to upstream. If you do not know how, or have time, to fix the issue create tar.gz file containing test run logs and submit it to upstream maintainers. Notice that in later case upstream sometimes has to ask clarifying questions about environment where problem occurred.
