7.50.0 :TESTFAIL: These test cases failed: 1139 1140

So hopefully 7.50.1 reports a 100% clear on the testsuite.

We run most of our autobuild tests directly from git, so for example these two tests 1139 and 1140 will succeed off git but fail in a relase where we've forgotten to include some files in the tarball - like we did in 7.50.0.

The lesson here is that we should perhaps have both 1139 and 1140 actually work only on files that can be found in the makefiles (that would be included in the dist) so that we can detect these problems earlier and easier. I haven't really figured out the best approach.

I don't think that is the lesson here. I recall it has happened more than once that a file needed by a release is missing. The lesson I think would be to build from the planned release tarball prior to the actual release to make sure it builds and all the tests complete successfully.
