One side-effect of this change is that "make check" now works even if
you put "." early in your shell's search PATH (don't do that!).
Remove all test-related Makefile.am files, except those generated
by mk-script. Instead, tests/Makefile.am now lists not only the
tests directly under tests/, but also those in tests/*/ that are
not generated by mk-script, e.g., cp/abuse, cp/acl, mv/i-1, etc.
A lot of these changes are like this:
-. $srcdir/../lang-default
+. $top_srcdir/tests/lang-default
-. $srcdir/../test-lib.sh
+. $top_srcdir/tests/test-lib.sh
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove corresponding Makefiles.
* tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Relax syntax requirements.
* tests/rwx-to-mode: Remove file. Rewritten as...
* tests/test-lib.sh (rwx_to_mode_): ...this new function.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rwx-to-mode.
(SUBDIRS): Remove each dir with a removed Makefile.am.
(EXTRA_DIST): Add $(TESTS).
(TESTS): Add over 300 entries.
* tests/misc/readlink-fp-loop (symlink_loop_msg): New var,
which records the symlink-loop message, whose wording is
not standardized by Posix. Do not rely on "echo x > p/1"
to work when p/1 has a lot of indirect symlinks. (I'm surprised
that it works on Linux. Perhaps a Linux bug?)
* tests/misc/readlink-fp-loop: New file. Test for the readlink bug
fixed through today's change to Gnulib's canonicalize module.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add readlink-fp-loop.
