Netcat's behaviour after seeing EOF from stdin seems to not be very portable or consistent, even under the same platform. This has caused t-05-null_address to break recently under some conditions, for example depending on the particular Debian version of netcat-openbsd used, and the current situation is unclear. See https://bugs.debian.org/854292 and https://bugs.debian.org/849192 for more details. To stop depending on this brittle behaviour, this patch unfortunately introduces a simple python3-based netcat for our tests to use.
This directory holds end to end tests, written usually in a combination of shell and some Python. They're not expected to be portable, as that gets impractical very quickly. They also have some dependencies, listed below. ## Dependencies The tests depend on the following things being installed on the system (listed as Debian package, for consistency): - msmtp - util-linux (for /usr/bin/setsid) For t-02-exim (Exim interaction tests): - gettext-base (for /usr/bin/envsubst) - The exim binary available somewhere, but it doesn't have to be installed. There's a script "get-exim4-debian.sh" to get it from the archives. For some tests, python >= 3.5 is required; they will be skipped if it's not available.
