I see that the FTBFS seems to be (at least) caused by perltidy having been upgraded, and changing its idea of what tidy means, which is a stupid reason to FTBFS, so I'll just disable that test.
I had been waiting for node-ace-code would make it through NEW so that I could then upload a more recent upstream version of openqa, but that's taken longer than I'd hoped. Cheers, Phil. -- Philip Hands -- https://hands.com/~phil
