When using a system (e.g. Ubuntu 18.04) with libidn2 2.0.4 or earlier,
test results include:
FAIL: resolv/tst-resolv-ai_idn
FAIL: resolv/tst-resolv-ai_idn-latin1
It was previously stated
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-05/msg00771.html> that "It
should fail to indicate you have bugs in your system libidn.".
However, the glibc testsuite should be indicating whether there are
bugs in glibc, not whether there are bugs in other system pieces - so
unless you consider it a glibc bug that it fails to work around the
libidn issues, these FAILs are not helpful. And as a general
principle, it's best for the expected glibc test results to be clean,
with Bugzilla used to track known bugs in glibc itself, rather than
people needing to know about the expected FAILs to tell if there are
problems with their glibc build. So, while there is an argument that
install.texi (not just the old NEWS entries for 2.28) should explain
the use of libidn2 and that 2.0.5 or later is recommended, test FAILs
are not the right way to indicate the presence of an old libidn2
version.
This patch accordingly makes those tests return UNSUPPORTED for older
libidn2 versions, just as they do when libidn2 isn't present at all.
As implied by that past discussion, it's possible this could result in
UNSUPPORTED for systems with older versions but whatever required
fixes backported so the tests previously passed, if there are any such
systems.
Tested for x86_64 on Ubuntu 18.04, including verifying that putting an
earlier version in place of 2.0.5 results in the tests FAILing whereas
using 2.0.5 as in the patch results in UNSUPPORTED. Florian reports
that the tests still run on Fedora 30, with libidn 2.2.0.
* resolv/tst-resolv-ai_idn-latin1.c (do_test): Mark test
unsupported with libidn2 before 2.0.5.
* resolv/tst-resolv-ai_idn.c (do_test): Likewise.
