Hello, taking a tree from gnulib-tool --with-tests --test
and running distcheck on it ends with [...] | rm -f Makefile | ERROR: files left in build directory after distclean: | ./gltests/out | make[1]: *** [distcleancheck] Error 1 | make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/build/dummy-0/_build' | make: *** [distcheck] Error 1 A quick git grep reveals the following tests as candidates: tests/test-verify.sh tests/test-xalloc-die.sh tests/test-xstrtoimax.sh tests/test-xstrtol.sh tests/test-xstrtoll.sh tests/test-xstrtoumax.sh Now, I'm not intricate with the current gnulib test framework, and I wonder why 'err' is not a leftover file. Which is the preferred way to remove files here? Supply a custom cleanup_ function? Put temp files in $test_dir_? Are the tests supposed to be usable with the parallel-tests framework? In that case, 'out' and 'err' are not sufficiently unique as names for concurrent tests. (Yes, I noted that some tests ask for a password, and won't work with this either for use of stdin, but a majority of gnulib users may not use these tests.) Thanks, Ralf
