The existing Automake description is terse enough to be unreadable. Significant issues are unaddressed or addressed in a manner which is more confusing than enlightening. The replacement manual covers each test regime fully (except for Dejagnu) and provides a introduction which gives a general basis for understanding the material to follow. It is understood that several sections in the introduction would be best presented as a general introduction. However, Automake does not provide any insight into these issues and any addressing of them in the Automake manual is scatter shot.
You are welcome to use or not use the material. You are welcome to copy or reference the material. And you are welcome to ignore everything in the material or that I have said. The replacement manual is for your use or non-use. The Dejagnu test harness is not addressed. I'm exhausted and Dejagnu holds little appeal. Sorry. Note the TAP section covers all the materials needed to understand the existing TAP implementation plus some new materials which represent the replacement code sent in http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=20986. I recognize that files of this size present an issue for the servers but have no other manner which will allow distribution of the document. I do not have a web site. If you can suggest an alternative transmittal mechanism then I will use it. art Maintenance turns design into chaos
