- add CHANGES note
- update copyrights and license headers
- add -j to the make commands in .gitlab-ci.yml to take
advantage of parallelization in the gitlab CI process
As parallel.mk and runsequential.sh both pipe system test output through
"tee" (for the purpose of creating test.output), run.sh invoked from
these two files detects it is not writing to a terminal, which prevents
colored output from being generated. Allow forcing colored output using
a new command line argument for runall.sh, "-c", which sets an
environment variable (SYSTEMTEST_FORCE_COLOR) causing conf.sh to
unconditionally enable colored output.
The same environment variable can also be used directly to force colored
output when using "make test" instead of runall.sh.
Instead of exporting an environment variable containing a command line
argument (NOCLEAN="-n"), extend run.sh to handle a "boolean" environment
variable (SYSTEMTEST_NO_CLEAN) itself. The former method is buggy
because the value of NOCLEAN is set in parallel.mk when that file is
first created, but it is not subsequently updated upon each test run
(because make considers parallel.mk to be up to date).
To retain backward compatibility, the "-n" command line argument for
run.sh is still supported (and has a higher priority than the relevant
environment variable).
The SYSTEMTEST_NO_CLEAN environment variable can also be used directly
to prevent cleanup when using "make test" instead of runall.sh.
Apart from fixing a bug, this simplifies the way runall.sh controls
run.sh behavior due to the Makefile being bypassed. Direct processing
of environment variables in run.sh is more scalable in the long run,
given that the previously utilized technique, even with its
implementation fixed, would still require Makefile.in to be modified in
two places each time a new flag needed to be passed from runall.sh to
run.sh.
When running all the system tests, output from a test is sent to a
test.output file in the test directory. These are combined in to
systests.output when the run finishes.
4708. [cleanup] Legacy Windows builds (i.e. for XP and earlier)
are no longer supported. [RT #45186]
4707. [func] The lightweight resolver daemon and library (lwresd
and liblwres) have been removed. [RT #45186]
4706. [func] Code implementing name server query processing has
been moved from bin/named to a new library "libns".
Functions remaining in bin/named are now prefixed
with "named_" rather than "ns_". This will make it
easier to write unit tests for name server code, or
link name server functionality into new tools.
[RT #45186]
