From 0251d44cc2e991608ea39f2274ad2d197c668468 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Ericson Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2022 20:17:08 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Make `./mk/run-test.sh` work by itself; add `mk/debug-test.sh` First, logic is consolidated in the shell script instead of being spread between them and makefiles. That makes understanding what is going on a little easier. This would not be super interesting by itself, but it gives us a way to debug tests more easily. *That* in turn I hope is much more compelling. See the updated manual for details.
