Re: [Bashdb-devel] make errors when installing bashed 4.4-0.92

[Rocky B. <roc...@gm...>]

The short story is that probably everything's okay, and even if not this is
not likely to have an impact on using it that you'd notice.

The integration tests are a little fragile which means they are often
breaking when output changes slightly and should be reworked to make them
less so. But I'm probably not going to spend the time to do so and that
means that no one else will either.

The longer story is that from summary information alone, one has very
little information to try to fix. At a minimum one needs the version of
bash and as it says in the put you do have, the log file as more
information like which test failed and what result it gave.

When I just tried running current git sources on GNU bash, version
4.3.46(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)  I got one failure in test-watch
and it is failing because the line number inside the debugger program has
change from line 98 to line 95 which is most likely an output update bug on
my part.

I know the output instructions say send to this list when you hit a
failure, and so I appreciate that you followed those instructions. (Those
instruction though too are kind of the boilerplate default when one uses
gnu automake/autoconf.)
