I am checking an rc of a package, and found a new bashism had crept in, from check-portability.awk finding "test ==". To make progress on testing, I edited configure after unpacking, and that left configure.~1~ with "test ==", which then failed. ERROR: [check-portability.awk] configure.~1~: if test "x$with_interrupt_tests" == "xno"; then I don't know if the right answer* is: I should have made a proper patch and check-portability knows to skip .orig files. we should omit ~ files from check-portability tests but this surprised me so I thought I'd mention it. * Obviously the right answer is that everybody else should use test correctly every single time, but that's unlikely.
