[FYI] {master} test defs: avoid spurious XPASS results with NetBSD make

* tests/defs (make_can_chain_suffix_rules): Ensure to properly declare the '.SUFFIXES:' in the temporary Makefile used to check whether $MAKE is able to automatically chain suffix rules. This avoids spurious XPASS results with (at least) NetBSD make in some 'suffix*.tap' tests; in a sense also, th

[PATCH] test defs: remove obsolete requirement 'rst2html'

* tests/defs (rst2html): Remove, it's not needed anymore now that the old code supporting the ".log -> .html" conversion for the parallel-tests harness has been moved in contrib. This removal should have actually be done in commit v1.11-1757-g0a9d201 of 17-01-2012, 'check: move ".log -> .html" con

[FYI] {master} tests: workaround for shells with broken 'set -e'

[PATCH] {master} tests: better way to compare lists in Makefile rules

With this commit, we introduce a new helper shell script for use in the testsuite, which is meant to allow the test cases to easily check whether two whitespace-separated lists are equal; this ability is particularly useful to check for equality of the contents of make variables that are expected t
