In the last months, Automake development has largely revolved around improving the testsuite and testability. This has led to some stagnation on addressing user bug reports and new feature development.
I would therefore like to stop working on testsuite issues for a while, say at least for a month, but likely until a 1.12 release is in good shape. This means that I will postpone review of patches that do not add new features or fix regressions, or bugs reported by Automake users. I don't have the time resources to do everything at once. OTOH, I do think the current testsuite and the current code structure are in good enough shape to allow for new feature development, even without many unit tests in place; and users really would profit more if we catch up on bugs reports and regressions. Incremental improvements of the testsuite can still happen later, and maybe then there will be a larger marginal gain with them, too. Sorry for any inconveniences this causes. Cheers, Ralf
