Thread: BuildFarm status: recent check failures
Just a quick heads-up: I'm not sure of the cause, but it looks like something recent change to HEAD and REL8_0_STABLE is causing check failures on the buildfarm machines. A brief (and thoroughly naive) glance at the details shows a horology test failure. Michael Glaesemann grzm myrealbox com

Why doesn't the regression test set the timezone to GMT instead of PST. I believe the horology test would just work then.

... and lose any semblance of testing DST-aware behavior. Lobotomizing
the regression test isn't the answer.
(What is the answer, IMHO, is to make the interval datatype able to
distinguish "1 day" from "24 hours".)
