I notice this morning that sf.net seems to be in  a 'state' -
it tells me that logins are disabled, an attempt to log a new
bug report against tcl 8.6a0 failed without a clear error message.

Just thought a head's up might be worthwhile.

The bugs I intended to mention were related to the latest cvs snapshot
available from the activestate ftp site. Compiled on sparc solaris 2.8
using Sun's C compiler, the encoding-2.2 and encoding-11.1 tests, as well
as the filesystem-1.11 tests apparently have been failing for at least a
few days. Today's the first time I noticed the errors. The encoding
errors seem to be a change from a return of "unknown encoding" (shiftjis
and jis0208) to characters being returned ... perhaps that's a result of
some new encoding tables. However, the filesystem test that is failing is
the "link normalisation: double link, back in tree" test, which used
to work but now fails with this output:

fileSystem.test

==== filesystem-1.11 link normalisation: double link, back in tree FAILED
==== Contents of test case:

    file link [file join dir2.file dir2.link] [file join .. dir2.link]
    testPathEqual [file normalize [file join dir.dir linkinside.file foo]]  [fil
e normalize [file join dir2.file dir2.link inside.file foo]]

---- Result was:
not equal: /vol/tclsrcsol/tcl86/tcl/unix/dir.dir/inside.file/foo /vol/tclsrcsol/
tcl86/tcl/unix/dir2.file/dir2.link/inside.file/foo
---- Result should have been (exact matching):
1
==== filesystem-1.11 FAILED


The last reference in the ChangeLog to file normalize is back in Nov 2007.
