Framework for Running Test Suites on Software Tools
DejaGnu is a framework for testing other programs. Its purpose is to
provide a single front-end for all tests. Beyond this, DejaGnu offers
several advantages for testing:
1. The flexibility and consistency of the DejaGnu framework make it
easy to write tests for any program.
1. DejaGnu provides a layer of abstraction that allows you to write
tests that are portable to any host or target where a program
must be tested. For instance, a test for GDB can run (from any
Unix-based host) on any target architecture that DejaGnu
supports.
1. All tests have the same output format. This makes it easy to
integrate testing into other software development processes.
DejaGnu's output is designed to be parsed by other filtering
scripts and it is also human-readable.
DejaGnu is written in expect, which in turn uses "Tcl"--Tool command
language.
Running tests requires two things: the testing framework and the test
suites themselves.

- Update to dejagnu 1.5.1
1. The runtest.1 man page has been brought up to date.
2. The Docbook/SGML documentation files were removed in favour of the
Docbook/XML documentation. The Texinfo source for the Info pages is
now automatically generated from the Docbook source.
3. The Makefile structure has been substantially simplified. There
is now a single top-level Makefile.am. The use of recursive make
has been eliminated.
4. lib/mondfe.exp and lib/xsh.exp have been removed. Users requiring
these communication modes can still use the DejaGnu 1.4 branch or
can contact dejagnu@gnu.org to discuss reinstating these files.
5. The configure script now ensures that Expect is installed and that
it is linked against Tcl 8.3 or greater.
6. The runtest program now gracefully handles the possibility of the
expect binary vanishing after DejaGnu has been installed (for
example, by the user altering their PATH).
7. The user-visible utility procedures `absolute', `prune', `psource'
and `slay' are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
If a testsuite uses any of these procedures, a copy of the
procedure should be made and placed in the lib directory of the
testsuite.
- dejagnu-ignore-libwarning.patch: Removed
