Follow-up Comment #4, bug #51482 (project groff): We've changed course on this per recent discussion on the groff mailing list.
commit 5aaf04cdf6e8ca194e4c8af2678d4c2743677903 Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]> Date: Fri Apr 30 21:53:53 2021 +1000 test-groff.in: Stop passing groff -b and -ww. * test-groff.in: Stop passing the built groff executable -b and -ww options by default. This reverses a change from 2017. Dave Kemper has convincingly argued that there's no way to override -b and turn backtraces on warnings/errors back off, and that the built groff should behave as much like a "normal" one as possible. The latter factor is of added importance now that we are using test-groff for generation of documents. * src/roff/groff/tests/regression_savannah_58153.sh: Adapt. If you're a bleeding edge groff user who runs it straight from build trees, I recommend writing shell aliases or functions to capture the desired behavior. alias tg='./build/test-groff -b -ww' alias tgu='./build/test-groff -b -ww -Tutf8' _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51482> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
