I guess we have to go with the second one unless we decide to use bash in the makefile. We will soon be moving all of this into Haskell anyway, so it's probably not worth thinking /too/ hard about this, but I don't know when we will complete the transition. > Does anyone know if $TEST_FILTER_FILE exists on the misbehaving host? It probably does not; it's only meant for use by real people to restrict what tests are being run (for convenience). By rights, the buildbot clobbers the darcs darcs directory each time. > Given that the tests already require bash, is it possible to use SHELL > := /bin/bash in GNUmakefile? This would allow useful bashisms like > the one greybot mentioned above. Well, one disdavantage of doing this is that bash becomes necessary to build darcs whereas before it was just a requirement for the tests. Anyway, given the future move to Franchise, I suppose this isn't really something we need to be working on too much. Just enough to get those buildbots green again! > Incidentally, grumble about using @ to hide what is actually happening > in makefiles.

We could define something like $(SILENTLY) which expands to @ unless VERBOSE mode is one (but then given the move to Franchise...) -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
