Test failure

[rprasanth]

Hi, I could see the failures in the test script, I suspect the binary loaded in the source got some issue while syncing in the github.
Could you verify and update the test data?

/bsdiff-1.0.4/test$ sh run.sh 
Running test #8 ...
Failed to apply delta (-1)
not ok 4 - 
Running test #10 ...
Failed to apply delta (-1)
diff: 10.out: No such file or directory
not ok 6 - output does not match expected!!

The test suite is meant to be run with make check in the toplevel source directory. Can you try that instead to see if it works for you?

I see that it would be convenient to call run.sh directly, so I'll add a feature request.

Got the same with make check, "Failed to apply delta (-1)" which shows the issue with the samples under data.
Didn't you see this issue?

No, I've never seen those tests fail. Before I make new releases, I run make distcheck, so test failures would have blocked the release process.

Note that I primarily run these tests on Clear Linux OS.

Which distro are you using? I would like to try and reproduce the issue.

could find the dependecies lzma and bzip2 helps the test, As they were sample binary data, couldn't see the root cause. Thanks
