I would not be surprised if it did. Though it introduces its own portability issues, since we cannot depend on having it. But it is probably enough to just test_lazy_prereq EXPECT 'expect --version' or something. I dunno. I have never used expect, do not have it installed, and am not excited about introducing a new tool dependency. But if you want to explore it, be my guest. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
