Here we go.
Patches 1-4 are taken directly from this thread:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.patches/3225>
but with some of the comments from the thread addressed.
First, here are the remaining issues that I listed in the first message:
| 11) allow for extensibility like multiple test suites, each with their
| own set of logs.
| 12) allow for additional output on stdout/stderr?
| example: test was skipped because of $reason.
| 13) allow for post-test action in the rule (like: clean foo.dir in
| Automake's test suite)?
| 14) let subdir tests depend on dirstamp instead of each one calling
| MKDIR_P?
None of these have been addressed yet. However, (12) is easily achieved
by the package author in the manner that coreutils does it right now:
adding something like `9>&2' to TESTS_ENVIRONMENT or, preferably, the
per-extension test driver (see the last patch).
The other issues are easily postponed (i.e., are useful TODO items, but
nothing that prevents the current branch from being releasable).
Cheers,
Ralf
