Hello Vijay, Ross,

I reviewed the 3.14.8 upgrade. The downloaded source tarball’s SHA-256 matches the recipe, and the retained source patches apply without fuzz.

Following Ross’s upstream report [1], I inspected libedit’s history append path. append_history() opens the file with fopen(filename, "a"), and history_save_fp() writes the _HiStOrY_V2_ header whenever ftell() returns zero.

If the append stream initially reports offset zero on musl, this would cause another header to be appended to an existing history file. That is consistent with the reported result where the header appears as a history entry after truncation.

This suggests a history handling issue that needs investigation before deciding whether a test skip is appropriate. Could you check whether explicitly positioning the append stream at EOF before saving resolves the failure, and share the result in the upstream issue?

 

This analysis is based on source inspection. I have not independently reproduced the musl failure.

Thanks,
Darsh
