Hi @sylvestre! I need guidance on this PR. =) It's correctly showing that all tests are failing (I spot checked the logs, it's calling with "tar cf", which we don't handle) How do we make the nice graph that you have for Coreutils? =) |

Also, how do you have it set on uutils/coreutils to not show everything as failing on each PR? I cribbed the setup from coreutils, but I think I'm missing something in the setup. |

This checks out GNU tar and runs its test suite against our built tar binary. The hooks in autotest aren't working correctly, so we manually overwrite the built binary with our generated binary for testing.

This checks out GNU tar and runs its test suite
against our built tar binary.
The hooks in autotest aren't working correctly,
so we manually overwrite the built binary with
our generated binary for testing.
