At the end of our presentation at this week's joint NYCBUG/New York
Perlmongers meeting, I mentioned that one of our "Next Steps" would be
to do smoke-testing of the Perl 5 core distribution on OSes other than
FreeBSD. We briefly had an OpenBSD-6.3 VM set up on
perlmonger.nycbug.org, but it ran into technical difficulties. But in
the past few days we've gotten an OpenBSD-6.4 VM operational.
Yesterday I was able to test, then smoke-test, Perl 5 blead in this VM.
That led to the following bug report:
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=133649
This is really strange: two locales-related test failures that only
appear in *unthreaded* builds!
Any OpenBSD folks who are interested should check out that bug report.
So, another by-product of our groups' collaboration.
Thank you very much.
