-Subject: Fix symlink-bad-length test for 64-bit architectures.
-
-* src/util.c: Return non-zero exit code if EOF is hit prematurely.
-* tests/symlink-bad-length.at: Revert to original archive: there's
-no use testing for recovery, because that depends on the host
-architecture.  Don't test for exit code as well (same reason).
-Account for eventual warning messages.

-Subject: [PATCH] tests: fix expected output for old file
-
-Thanks Victor Rodriguez.  Upstream thread:
-http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cpio/2015-06/msg00000.html
-
-* tests/symlink-bad-length.at (STDOUT): Expect the year string
-'2014' is printed and not time because the file in archive is
-older than 6 months.
-* Thanks: Mention Victor.
