Remove broken links in source tarball
Before it wasn’t possible to pass -DTEST_SUITE_SUBDIRS=CTMark to cmake
when configuring the llvm-test-suite:
— Adding directory CTMark
CMake Error at CTMark/CMakeLists.txt:1 (add_subdirectory):
add_subdirectory given source “7zip” which is not an existing directory.
CMake Error at CTMark/CMakeLists.txt:5 (add_subdirectory):
add_subdirectory given source “lencod” which is not an existing directory.
The llvm-test-suite command script pkg_test_suite.sh removes
directories with BAD or unreviewed licenses. Currently this leaves at
least two directories in a broken state:
/usr/share/llvm-test-suite/CTMark/7zip -> ../MultiSource/Benchmarks/7zip
/usr/share/llvm-test-suite/CTMark/lencod -> ../MultiSource/Applications/JM/lencod
In both cases the link target is non-existent.
Therefore I find any broken symbolic links, remove them and adapt the
CMakeLists.txt to not have the add_subdirectory(broken_link) entry in
it. Here’s an excerpt of what the pkg_test_suite.sh script shows when
running as a proof of the work it does now.
