Hello, [Dropping Karl since we are no longer discussing Automake maintenance.] Maxime Devos <maximede...@telenet.be> writes:[What about] discoverability, ease of updating the test driver, clarity, unbundling and the goals of Freja Nordsiek?Maybe Guile should adopt the script as ‘guild test-am’ or somesuch.
While written for Automake, it's useful and usable outside it, so I would change 'am' to something else. Maybe: ‘guild run-test-suite’.
Mathieu assigned copyright to the FSF for the Automake patch and I believe Maxim would be willing to do the same for the more recent patches.
Note: while accepted, that's not a requirement anymore.
If there’s interest and someone willing to commit the change, I volunteer to integrate the script. I can add a node in the manual after “4.8 Distributing Guile Code” called “Testing Guile Code” that links to Maxim’s forthcoming SRFI 64 documentation and explains how to use the script with Automake. Thoughts?
I don't know if there is someone willing to commit the change (as in, I don't know, not I know there isn't someone willing), but I would say there is definitely interest.
(Doesn't matter for me whether it's in Guile or a thing packaged separately ... just not this script that gets copied around with somewhat unclear providence.)
Best regards, Maxime Devos.
