r186 added the bootstrap testsuite to the default Kyuafile suite. This is all fine when running the bootstrap testsuite with bash, but fails when using other shells. So far, I've reproduced the problem with Debian's dash (the default /bin/sh) and NetBSD's sh and ksh. Things work fine in OS X.

The problem is that the testsuite stalls because Kyua runs the testsuite in a different process group, and that process group is not a session leader. The testsuite issues a 'set -m' at some point unconditionally, and that blocks because the shell is not a session leader.

Clarification: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2011/08/15/msg008807.html Bug report: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2011-08/msg00009.html I don't think we can do anything here regarding the testsuite other than waiting for Autotest to be "fixed" to not always run "set -m" (if they acknowledge this as a real issue).

For now, we probably ought to disable the reexecution of the bootstrap testsuite as part of the Kyua test suite.

This issue was updated by revision r200 .

This is just a workaround for the problem described in this issue and we
really need to find a real solution. However, I want to get 0.2 released
soon and this is a showstopper.

No reply from the GNU Autoconf guys. There is not much we can do, so postponing this ticket as 0.2 has to be released!

This issue was updated by revision 05583ef .

This improvement may workaround the problem we experience when trying
to run kyua-cli's bootstrap test suite under Kyua.

I think this is now fixed, so closing. But I won't be surprised if we hit the problems again.
