Subject: [PATCH v3] tap: new `--stderr-prefix' option to prefix test script's
 stderr
Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2025 19:00:57 -0500

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

It took a couple of months, but FSF accepted the copyright assignment. 
And then I promptly forgot to follow up on this because I was in the 
middle of something else.  Sorry about that!

Supposedly I have not appeared in copyright.list for Automake yet.  (FSF 
signed on 2024-09-24, so I would expect to be in by now.)  Please let me 
know if I need to do anything, such as forward the mutually signed 
agreement PDF to someone.

Attached is v3 of the patch series.  Changes from v2:
  * Fixed a race condition
  * Fixed accidental discard of test script's final line if the output 
didn't end with a terminating newline
  * Moved the line prefixing logic to a separate function for 
readability and to make it easier to add comments for subtle points
  * The driver's own stderr is no longer mixed with the test script's 
stderr
  * Rewrote the new tests as *.tap
  * Docs now suggest `[stderr]' prefix instead of `<stderr>'
  * Minor improvements to Automake's own test infrastructure

Thanks,
Richard
