Would you be interested in trying out these scripts? Yes, if you can describe the necessary activities for a dummy who sends a mail twice because a completely unrelated mail caused protests by the mail provider.

(I will also have to revisit my patch from last summer which was meant to make error messages visible in the tests. When testing it, i ran into the grub_cmd_cryptomount leaks. The patch is archived as [PATCH 0/2] grub-fstest: Show error message if command causes grub_errno https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2024-06/msg00197.html of which the first motivating paragraph of the cover letter was eaten by git send-email and later added by https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2024-06/msg00201.html Especially i will have to compare it with your recent patch set [PATCH v6 0/6] More ls improvements https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2025-03/msg00012.html and check whether our patch sets overlap. ) Have a nice day :) Thomas _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
