Well, it=E2=80=99s already a part of Automake as =E2=80=98contrib/test-driv= er.scm=E2=80=99: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/tree/contrib/test-driver.scm > Also, the test driver has been updated since then. That=E2=80=99s true. Maxim Cournoyer added some useful features in 2021. However, these features do not affect Automake. They only make the script more useful when running outside of Automake. It would be nice to have them in the Automake version, but I guess Maxim would have to sign a copyright assignment for that. (I=E2=80=99m not sure of Automake=E2= =80=99s policy there, so correct me if I=E2=80=99m wrong.) I think that doing nothing other than closing that patch would be a reasonable course of action. :) -- Tim
