Autoconf must not be used in production if there are ``Serious'' bugs,
|
|
and use with caution an Autoconf with ``Important bugs''.

* Now that configure depends on shell functions, it is possible that
|
|
configure scripts may fail to run on old platforms that lack a shell
|
|
with proper function support.
|
|
|
|
* Autotest parallel testsuite support is still a work in progress.
|
|
There are known issues in job handling under dash and some ksh
|
|
variants, where a parallel testsuite can hang or cause a 100%
|
|
processor load. In the current release, the overall autoconf
|
|
testsuite only exercises parallel autotest under bash and zsh, or if
|
|
you have defined TEST_PARALLEL_AUTOTEST in the environment.
|
|
Meanwhile, Cygwin has known problems with named fifos that cause
|
|
failures when attempting parallel tests in an autotest suite. It is
|
|
possible that other difficulties will be encountered, whether with
|
|
shell or platform limitations; help is appreciated in improving
|
|
parallel testsuite support.
