Package: automake Version: 1:1.13.2-1 Severity: normal Hello,
thanks for maintaning automake. I'm reporting this in order to document the situation. I'm not sure if it should be considered a bug or just an unfortunate decision from the upstream maintainer. The new parallel test harness, which is a default in 1.13, is backwards incompatible and breaks the test suite in basically all my packages. There is an option "AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([serial-tests])" to restore the old backwards-compatible behaviour, but the option itself is only supported since version 1.12; 1.11 (default, for example, in Fedora 16, which is just one year old) breaks when using it. This has some more details, and a workaround: http://gnu-automake.7480.n7.nabble.com/serial-tests-option-and-backwards-compatibility-td19571.html Ciao, Enrico -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages automake depends on: ii autoconf 2.69-1 ii autotools-dev 20130515.1 automake recommends no packages. automake suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
