tests-init branch
Hello automakers. I've just merged the tests-init branch into master, and pushed. At this point, that branch has IMHO pretty much exhausted its usefulness, and could be removed. Future non-obvious testsuite work could be done in more short lived, purpose oriented branches. WDYT? Regards, Stefano

Okay with me, however you like. Cheers, Ralf

Hello automakers. In reference to this thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-11/msg00186.html On Monday 15 November 2010, Stefano Lattarini wrote: Stefano Lattarini (5): Tests defs: avoid some useless subshells. Tests required tools: also try `-v' option for GNU compilers. I've now pushed these two approved patches to the tests-init branch. Tests defs: don't let useless variables leak in test scripts. Tests defs: new subroutine `skip' for test skipping. Tests defs: some cleanup and minor fixes. OTOH, There are still problems with these patches? Can I apply those too? Regards, Stefano

Wild guess: what about this? case `(set -o) 2/dev/null` in *posix*) set -o posix;; *) :;; esac Anyway, in the long run, I think it would be simpler and more reliable to run the tests with configure-detected $SHELL, and add proper configure checks to reject overly buggy shells. The pending patch of mine Testsuite: use $SHELL to run tests which are shell scripts: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-09/msg00022.html can help with this (it implements the fist step).
