FYI, I've been factoring and cleaning up tests, moving from
the mk-script-based framework to the Coreutils.pm-based ones.
One interesting side effect is that this is removing *thousands*
of files from the distribution tarball. On the other hand, each
of the converted tests require Perl, but that's a small price...
some would even say it's a feature.
"tar tf" says the coreutils-6.10 tarball contained 3354 entries.
Currently, we're down to 2772. In the end there will be less than 1000.
Here are the remaining tests/* directories:
cd tests && for i in join pr sort tac tail test; do \
n=$(find $i -type f|wc -l);printf "$n\t$i\n"; done| sort -nr
627 pr
531 test
405 sort
196 join
132 tail
75 tac
