Re: debugging bash script in emacs using bashdb

[rocky <rocky@gnu.org>]

I have updated that install script to also install test-simple now.  I'm sorry for the breakage. 

The longer story is that I've been converting tests that validate emacs-dbgr to use a much simpler test framework. I'm in the middle of converting the tests. As I rarely get feedback on emacs-dbgr I tend to lose site that anyone other than myself might be using it let alone installing it for the first time.

By the way, I think test-simple is cool. My epiphany on this came from a little talk I gave http://rocky.github.com/NYC-Lisp-Elisp-talk where I realized that needed too many slide to describe how to write tests.
