Re: make check(s) pre-release problems
I actually wonder if your sudden "parallelism" failure could be somehow linked to an update of bash, similar to mine ? Good idea, but my bash hasn't changed ... I don't doubt there would be plenty more failures with the new SHLVL change (any such change seems like a terrible idea, but oh well). Well, more fun in the future. -k
Re: make check(s) pre-release problems
Hello, I don't know if that will help, or if that is completely unrelated, but I'm currently stumbling into a weird issue while working on a new package release for autoconf on Fedora: about 200 tests are now failing, all related to aclocal checks. My current investigation shows that it would be related to a bash update from 5.1.x to 5.2x which seems to have changed the behavior of the "SHLVL" shell variable. I actually wonder if your sudden "parallelism" failure could be somehow linked to an update of bash, similar to mine ? Fred.

This is a known issue, fixed on Autoconf development trunk, see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=412166e185c00d6eacbe67dfcb0326f622ec4020 I intend to make a bugfix release of Autoconf in the near future. > I actually wonder if your sudden "parallelism" failure could be > somehow linked to an update of bash, similar to mine ? It's certainly possible. zw
