DejaGnu framework version expected for gdb testing?

[Robin Getz]

I have been noticing random testsuite issues popping up now and again on 
different hosts, and tracked it down to the version of DejaGnu they were 
running.

What is the required DejaGnu version that people test with?

The last release version was  DejaGnu is 1.4.4 (30Jan2004)

However, Debian (http://packages.debian.org/dejagnu) uses a cvs snapshot from 
20060709 (Daniel - since this is suffixed with -5, does that mean you have 
local Debian only changes?)

It seems as if most other distributions just plop in the official (2004) 
release.

Thanks

I use:

    Expect version is       5.43.0
    Tcl version is          8.4
    Framework version is    1.4.4

I have noticed from experience that the Expect version is important,
at least on certain OSes... I was having endless troubles until I
upgraded.

Yes, though several of them are in upstream CVS too.

What sort of problems?  Most seem to work, as long as it's new enough
to have kfail.
