Comment(by gespinasse):

 {{{
 Did you do an 'svn up' of your jhalfs-trunk checkout before trying to
 build with the upgraded expect package committed?
 }}}
 thank, that fixed jhalf build until I was hit by ../vim-7.3-lang.*: Cannot
 open
 I remember something need to be changed on config for that.

 {{{
 I don't see the point in changing the package titles as your patch does.
 The fact that, IMO, upstream misname their tarballs, doesn't mean our page
 titles should be similarly misnamed.
 }}}
 I don't disagree for the misnaming perception. But I am afraid tcl is now
 consistant without the '-' and expect package look now to follow the same
 convention.
 Anyway libexpect name should be fixed.
 {{{
 Also, your testsuite patch would mean that the host would need to have
 expect, tcl & dejagnu installed so that the chapter 5 toolchain tests can
 be run.
 }}}
 This is my error. I just find that my build system miss without reason
 many chapter05 tests. As I had rebuild with tcl/expect/dejagnu at the end
 of chap05 with only less errors in expect, I wrongly conclude that that
 was the right thing.

 tcl/expect/dejagnu are not rebuild later and that's hard to upgrade one of
 those packages when you do not have a test suite that you can trust.

 Maybe build tcl/expect/dejagnu first at their actual place and test them
 only later at end of chap05. Should be only reserved for the extrem tests
 addict.
