Re: [Bug-GnuCOBOL] [GnuCOBOL 3.0-rc1] testsuite: 655 failed, 787 passed unexpectedly

[Ron Norman]

I am pretty sure that all the report writer test cases pass in both the reportwriter and pangaea branches.

pangaea is a branch which is a merge of 'trunk' and 'reportwriter' but we are still waiting for Simon to do the final merge of this back into 'trunk'.

The author was supposed to have fixed problem for rc1 but it its not in that release. When is it going to be put into a source-forge release (maybe rc2 ????). It is now June, so WHEN WILL  IT BE FIXED???

The old Test 787 will be just skipped for the upcoming release (for now
it may or may not work depending on the actual environment but
user-defined-functions are still seldom used and even more seldom used
recursively, so that's not a big issue).

The releases are done at https://gnu.org/gnu/gnucobol/ (releases) or
https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnucobol/ (for testing versions, and
release-candidates) - SF is just a mirror.
But we have a CI running so you are free to always get a "current
snapshot release tarball" from
https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/GitMensch/trunk/artifacts/gnucobol-3.1-dev.tar.gz?job=Image:Ubuntu1804
[you may change gz to xz or lz if you want another format]

[Note: there are currently two ODO tests failing there, which should be
fixed until Tuesday]

I actually don't know the status of the report-writer issue, you are
invited to check current work-in-progress for GnuCOBOL 3.1rc1 (expected
to be delivered in the next week) with the currently development
snapshot and to report back.

Thank you,
Simon
