Not all builders run all jobs, eg. the test suite is skipped on FreeBSD, but they all at least compile the library. Is there any specific reason why it doesn't run test suite on FreeBSD? Generally, '(g)make check' should run fine, with the only exception that virnetsockettest fails from time to time (maybe once in 4-5 runs).
qemuxml2argvtest fails consistently in my FreeBSD guest. virnetsockettest also fails pretty often for me, certainly more than your figure; even if that wasn't the case, 1/5 failure rate is way too high for a CI job.
'syntax-check' will not work without local hacks though because it hits argmax limit that results in 'argument list too long' for a lot of checks. Our 'check' jobs depend on the 'syntax-check' jobs as a pre-requisite, so its fallout from not running syntax-check on BSD
Can we invert the dependency so that syntax-check requires check instead? Not that it would be a good idea until the issues mentioned above are solved and check can run 100% reliably on FreeBSD, of course. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
