Unfortunately, I don't see an easy way to expose the first two hunks in check.am, they would require making a log unreadable between the test running and the summary generation. I'll wait a bit for comments, before pushing this to maint. Thanks, Ralf parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs. * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html): Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin. * NEWS: Update. diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index bbc177d..1bfe7ea 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -117,6 +117,9 @@ Bugs fixed in 1.11a: AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Wall --foreign will cause the warnings in category `portability' to be enabled, even if those warnings are by default disabled in `foreign' strictness. + + - The parallel-tests driver now does not produce erroneous results + with Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh upon unreadable log files any more.
