Hey there folks, sorry for being late. With the end of week 10 I'm here
with my tenth weekly report.

With this week I've mainly been working on fixing failing test cases on
musl, as my mentor suggested it would be more challenging and
educational. My mentor has assigned me a few ones to look have a look,
these mainly include the zsh shell, Git and mc (Midnight Commander).

However I've been stuck with them and finding them quite challenging,
and my mentor has been working with me to help as much as he can.

I took the Midnight Commander (mc) as the first one, there are two
failing test cases and both of them are quite interesting. One of theme
is the "path_len" test and another one is the "vfs_path_string_convert"
test. I've looked at the path_len. The whole path string is not being
loaded or read for some reason. The expected length is 38 and the
returned value is 12. I've not taken a detailed look at the
"vfs_path_string_convert" test.

For zsh three tests ( A03quoting.ztst B03print.ztst V09datetime.ztst )
are failing. I have not got a chance to take a deeper look that the zsh
tests. I'll have a look at them this week (currently in progress).


For Git, weirdly the there are not failing test cases (even on musl)
when pulled from source, while there is ~3 failing ones when it's
emerged using portage. Even the live ebuild fails.


I hope this was a concise enough report for week ten, although not much
week of GSoC is left, I hope to bring something interesting next week.
