I would like to attempt to merge the FSF DejaGnu tree into the
sources.redhat.com "son of devo" tree. Any objections or forseen
hiccups? I will gladly post a patch for approval beforehand.

The most important thing will be to make sure that the test harness
still works after the merge. Please could you try several different
kinds of before/after tests to make sure nothing breaks. Off the top
of my head I would suggest running the gcc, g++, gdb, ld, binutils and
gas testsuites for and x86 native, a cygwin native, a cross-compiler
using a simulator to run the built binaries and a cross-compiler with
the binaries running on a remote target board.
Cheers
Nick

Yes.

In hindsight, I think it would be best for the son-of-devo tree to
adopt a policy of only using well-tested DejaGnu releases. In that
case, I will just import any missing patches from src/dejagnu.
Cheers, Ben

`Adopt a policy of only using well-tested dejagnu releases'? The
current src/dejagnu is based on a release + a set of specific up-stream
approved patches (namely KFAIL). The expectation, consistent with
readline, is that at iregular intervals, a new release would be merged
in allowing the number of upstream patches to be redused.

PS, For those that are wondering. Ben is involved in some very recent
upstream dejagnu development activities. See:

And maybe a sim/testsuite test.

Yup - good idea.

Actually, KFAIL is in the Dejagnu 1.4.3 release.

I'd be happy to run a patch through my test bed.
(native i686-pc-linux-gnu only, alas).
Just splort it up and I'll besnazzle it.
