Thanks. I've had to deactivate the inclusion of ./testing/lisp/contrib into the test flow due to a recent removal of said directory by Nicolas (he's probably doing that patch himself) and now get this: lisp/org-mode> make test-dirty |& grep failed failed 5/109 ob-exp/export-from-a-temp-buffer failed 17/109 org-missing-dependency/test-ob-C failed 18/109 org-missing-dependency/test-ob-R failed 19/109 org-missing-dependency/test-ob-awk failed 20/109 org-missing-dependency/test-ob-fortran failed 21/109 org-missing-dependency/test-ob-lilypond failed 22/109 org-missing-dependency/test-ob-maxima failed 23/109 org-missing-dependency/test-ob-octave failed 24/109 org-missing-dependency/test-ob-python failed 25/109 org-missing-dependency/test-org-element failed 26/109 org-missing-dependency/test-org-export This is expected, as my local configuration doesn't have any of these packages activated. lisp/org-mode> make test-dirty | & grep FAILED FAILED 27/109 test-ob-exp/org-babel-exp-src-blocks/w-no-file FAILED 62/109 test-org-babel/get-src-block-info-body FAILED 63/109 test-org-babel/get-src-block-info-language FAILED 64/109 test-org-babel/get-src-block-info-tangle This is unexpected and I don't really see where they are coming from.

Well, currently all testing runs under my user settings, which is not ideal for testing anyway. I suppose it would not be difficult to just inject a different (minimal) startup file specifically for testing to separate these issues.
