Hi Vladimir,
Congratulations.
In case you feel like also distributing xz-compressed files,
I've included a simple patch below. Using xz -8e on your
release tarball compresses it to nearly half the size of the
gzip-compressed tarball:
$ du -sh gru*?z
:
4.2M grub-1.99~rc2.tar.gz
2.3M grub-1.99~rc2.tar.xz
The only part of this patch you'd need for the above is "dist-xz".
It's best to require 1.11.1, because there was a serious bug in 1.11.
Colored PASS/FAIL/SKIP is just a detail, as is the parallel-tests option,
but the latter is well worth it if you have many or long-running tests.
If you opt to use the parallel-tests option, be sure that your tests
are independent.
