Rename the testopt value to match the Automake option. * NEWS: mention this.
de96135b 2025-02-23 10:38:57 doc: tar-pax also works around too-large uid/gid for tar. From https://bugs.gnu.org/73316. * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): also mention the tar-pax format as a fix for out of range uid/gid for tar.

381c96b2 2025-02-03 18:26:53 tests: use `printf' instead of `echo' * t/ax/tap-functions (diag_): Use `printf' instead of `echo' in case `echo' processes backslash escapes or the argument looks like an option.

0ea7ef97 2025-02-09 09:36:24 python: restore more compatible behavior for $PYTHON. For https://bugs.gnu.org/74434. * lib/py-compile: if $PYTHON -V does not include the string "python" (case-insensitive), consider the support intentionally disabled and exit successfully, unless PYTHON is set to false, in which case exit unsuccessfully. This is closer to the old behavior. Mention this in the help message. * t/py-compile-env.sh: add test for PYTHON=:. * NEWS: mention this. (And, en passant, add some past bug#s and clarify that only RCS/SCCS pattern rules were disabled, not all.)
