Hi, In a recent discussion of emacs-devel, Phillip Lord suggested[1] renaming "make check" to "make test" since it's more intuitive. Several other Emacs hackers agree with him[2][3].
I also think "test" is more intuitive than "check", but an alias (instead of renaming "check" to "test") would be better, because many people are used to "make check". The following nodes need changing: * https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html#Standard-Targets * https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Standard-Targets.html#Standard-Targets * https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Standard-Targets.html#Standard-Targets If my suggestion is accepted, I'll also send it to [email protected] and [email protected] .
