Hi, Now that gnulib has a way to store long-running and unportable tests, I would like to move the 'havelib' testsuite from a GNU gettext subdirectory <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gettext.git;a=tree;f=autoconf-lib-link/tests> to gnulib.
This testsuite is essential when anyone modifies m4/lib-link.m4. The test would be declared as 'longrunning-test' and 'unportable-test', so that normally only the output of "gnulib-tool --create-[mega]testdir" would contain it. It would remain a single subdirectory in gnulib, with a separate Makefile.am and 8 subdirectories. Any objections to that? In theory it would be possible to extract the history of this chunk of code from the GNU gettext git repository and merge (oops, rebase) it into the gnulib repository. But these are quite complicated operations, and the testsuite has hardly changed in the last 7 years. Therefore the history is of small usefulness. I would like to take the simple route and simply add the files as "new files" in the gnulib repository. Opinions? Bruno
