Re: [HACKERS] regression output

I figured ppl would figure it out on their own, but to help things along,
I've removed the old system-specfic .out files altogether and added a
system.sh script...

the script outputs the output that regress.sh uses, in my case
'i386-freebsd', to use for the .out files that are system specific...

Please submit appropriate patches for .out files for the various
systems...will be doing Solaris over the next few days...

Didn't someone just change that stuff to depend on config.guess instead
of PORTNAME?

I changed SYSTEM back to uname -s, so "int2" and "int4" both worked again.

This indicates that whoever modified regress.sh to use config.guess
instead of uname did a pretty incomplete job, ie, didn't rename all
the expected files appropriately.

I still think that is a good change to make, but *not* if it's going to
be done in a half-baked fashion. We have to either finish the job or
revert to what we were doing before.

My guess is that we will need a new configuration file in the regress
stuff to map config.guess outputs into 'expected' file names. Otherwise
we'll end up with many duplicate copies of the same 'expected' file for
various Unix variants...
