I really enjoyed reading your detailed and honest report, and even if I have not been able to follow the second half of the coding period in details, I am pleased with the work you have done. Even if I stepped down I am still a commiter, so there is nothing besides time which prevents me from integrating your work in particular if those changes are safe. In theory, refactoring work can easily be reviewed if for example you create one patch for each module extracted with its corresponding test. I recommend to submit those patches incrementally to <automake-patc...@gnu.org>. Thank you for your participation in the GSoC! -- Mathieu Lirzin GPG: F2A3 8D7E EB2B 6640 5761 070D 0ADE E100 9460 4D37
