Tests fail sporadically on musl based distro Alpinelinux

[omnivagant]

Hi, I'm packaging this for the musl based distro Alpinelinux as uutils-coreutils (in testing) for armhf, armv7, aarch64, x86 and x86_64, the ioctl-sys crate doesn't build for ppc64le and Rust is not available yet for mips64 nor s390x.

Tests fail sporadically for any arch, usually it's just one test that fail but it can be any test. What I do is just trigger a re-run of the build until it succeeds.

Glad to hear :)

Rust works on mips64&s390x, see: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=rustc

Do you have more details about the kind of failure that you are getting?
We have some intermittent in the CI but they are not that common

Alpine and musl developers are working together with Rust to get things sorted for mips64 and s390x, rust-lang/rust#82556 for example.

Example failures where two tests happen to fail for x86_64 https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/omni/aports/-/jobs/363702#L1274

I've added a commit with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 for the tests and will trigger rebuilds until there have been some failure for all archs.
