Hey there folks, sorry for being late. With the end of week 10 I'm here |
| 2 |
with my tenth weekly report. |

With this week I've mainly been working on fixing failing test cases on |
| 5 |
musl, as my mentor suggested it would be more challenging and |
| 6 |
educational. My mentor has assigned me a few ones to look have a look, |
| 7 |
these mainly include the zsh shell, Git and mc (Midnight Commander). |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
However I've been stuck with them and finding them quite challenging, |
| 10 |
and my mentor has been working with me to help as much as he can. |
| 11 |
|

I took the Midnight Commander (mc) as the first one, there are two |
| 13 |
failing test cases and both of them are quite interesting. One of theme |
| 14 |
is the "path_len" test and another one is the "vfs_path_string_convert" |
| 15 |
test. I've looked at the path_len. The whole path string is not being |
| 16 |
loaded or read for some reason. The expected length is 38 and the |
| 17 |
returned value is 12. I've not taken a detailed look at the |
| 18 |
"vfs_path_string_convert" test. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
For zsh three tests ( A03quoting.ztst B03print.ztst V09datetime.ztst ) |
| 21 |
are failing. I have not got a chance to take a deeper look that the zsh |
| 22 |
tests. I'll have a look at them this week (currently in progress). |
| 23 |

For Git, weirdly the there are not failing test cases (even on musl) |
| 26 |
when pulled from source, while there is ~3 failing ones when it's |
| 27 |
emerged using portage. Even the live ebuild fails. |

I hope this was a concise enough report for week ten, although not much |
| 31 |
week of GSoC is left, I hope to bring something interesting next week. |
