Weird. That's a 1h difference, and sounds like a problem that ECL would have with daylight saving time or such on Mac. It works on Linux.
I modified the script to not be sensitive anymore to discrepancies between Lisp time and system time. This fixes the test script on SBCL/Windows, and hopefully also for ECL/Mac.
Note that this is a new test I've just added, that demonstrates THE defsystem bug that has plagued about every free software CL defsystem since forever until ASDF 3. I thought the Franz defsystem was safe, but apparently, it still has a smaller version of the bug; LispWorks, on the contrary, seems to pass the test, where my memory told me it didn't; maybe I was confused between the two. I haven't tested Genera for the smaller bug.
- Allegro "modern" mlisp fails fourteen tests:
Oh, dang, that's a test infrastructure bug: in the hopes of avoiding issues on Windows, I modified the output-translations to use the short :implementation-type name instead of :implementation, and this causes FASL clashes between mlisp and alisp. I just restored the previous behavior. It looks like this wasn't the cause of my Windows woes either, after all.
- lispworks fails test-stamp-propagation on both linux and Mac OS X.
Yes, it failed to fail. I marked the LispWorks defsystem as passing the test rather than failing. (The script tests the native defsystem as well as ASDF, on Allegro, LispWorks, Genera.)
Unfortunately, I am under multiple deadlines, and will have little time to investigate these in the next week.
Sorry for the mess. The last few days, Dave Cooper offered to help testing on Windows, and I've made lots of small changes to the test system and fixed a few UIOP and ASDF bugs, not all of them exclusive to Windows.
But clearly we cannot release 3.0.3 under these circumstances.
Indeed.
