Hello,
I noticed on NixOS GNU/Linux that silent*.test would randomly fail (see
<http://hydra.nixos.org/build/477516>.) The reason is that these tests
would fail if “mv” is found in the standard output of ‘make’, but the
random build directory names used by Nix could very well contain this
string.
The patch below makes the tests slightly more robust in this respect.
I’m not sure if this syntax for word boundaries is portable across
‘grep’ implementations, though.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
