I say we ignore automake in autoconf testsuite. They're circular, so
either one has to be in /tools to get full coverage, or we just pick one
that goes first. No one is going to put autoconf in /tools since it
already fights such a bitter battle to stay in LFS at all. So, I say we
keep the order alphabetical with the unfortunate effect that autoconf
loses some test suite coverage.
Is anyone else going to comment on the issue of
libtool/autoconf/automake being used in each other's testsuites, thus
causing circular dependencies?
Seeing that it's circular, and they work just fine (they are after all
just shell scripts), I say we ignore the testsuites with a small note
explaining the situation. If, at the end of the build, a person wants to
go back and re-install autofoo/libtool and run all the testsuites, more
power to them. We could even mention that as a possibility in the note.
