FreeBSD and OpenBSD return EFTYPE (errno 79) when chmod-ing a sticky bit onto a regular file as non-root, rather than EPERM/EACCES. Catch OSError and check errno against the expected skip set so the test skips correctly on those platforms instead of erroring out. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
automatic testsuite for rsync -*- text -*- We're trying to develop some more substantial tests to prevent rsync regressions. Ideally, all code changes or bug reports would come with an appropriate test suite. You can run these tests by typing "make check" in the build directory. The tests will run using the rsync binary in the build directory, so you do not need to do "make install" first. Indeed, you probably should not install rsync before running the tests. If you instead type "make installcheck" then the suite will test the rsync binary from its installed location (e.g. /usr/local/bin/rsync). You can use this to test a distribution build, or perhaps to run a new test suite against an old version of rsync. Note that in accordance with the GNU Standards, installcheck does not look for rsync on the path. If the tests pass, you should see a report to that effect. Some tests require being root or some other precondition, and so will normally not be checked -- look at the test scripts for more information. If the tests fail, you will see rather more output. The scratch directory will remain in the build directory. It would be useful if you could include the log messages when reporting a failure. These tests also run automatically on the build farm, and you can see the results on http://build.samba.org/.
