Subject: [PATCH] iotests: Work around failing readlink -f
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2020 13:38:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200914113809.63640-1-mreitz@redhat.com> (raw)

On macOS, (out of the box) readlink does not have -f.  If the recent
"readlink -f" call introduced by b1cbc33a397 fails, just fall back to
the old behavior (which means you can run the iotests only from the
build tree, but that worked fine for six years, so it should be fine
still).

Keep any potential error message on stderr.  If users want to run the
iotests from outside the build tree, this may point them to what's wrong
(with their system).

Fixes: b1cbc33a3971b6bb005d5ac3569feae35a71de0f
       ("iotests: Allow running from different directory")

Hi Thomas,

I thought this would be quicker than writing a witty response on whether
you or me should write this patch. O:)
