Why was it removed? This 1.4.x is an unofficial branch of Guile development that is increasingly diverging from the official 1.6.x/1.7.x line. > And, is there a suitable replacement so that a ``pragmatically > efficient'' (i.e. lazy) hacker can quickly and easily create a test > suite for a Guile library that runs under automake's `check' target? > IMHO putting the code back in the set of installed files, or > alternatively creating something like a `guile-test-suite' package, > would be beneficial. That sounds like an excellent idea, but it needs someone to be slightly non-lazy to work out what is needed. We can trivially change the distro to install the (test-suite lib) module - would that be a useful first step, and would you be willing to look into what else is needed after that?
