[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Several tests in test/lisp/emacs-lisp/package-tests.el have been failing
on my end since the following commit:

  Merge branch 'feature/package+vc'
  5fa2f11679 2022-11-04 18:57:45 +0100
  https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=5fa2f11679

The failures do not happen on the merge commit's first parent:

  * lisp/simple.el (function-documentation): Fix bug#59014
  616aa23d8a 2022-11-04 11:59:51 -0400
  https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=616aa23d8a

I attach a log of building Emacs followed by two invocations of
'make test/package-tests', the first using the suite's .el file and the
second using the .elc.  The failures are the same either way.  Each run
is preceded by "echo '>>> TEST EL[C]'" for easier locating in the log.

Let me know if you'd like me to run anything else on my end.

Thanks,

I suggest to take a good look at the changes brought by the merge.
I've discovered today that this very merge caused us to lose the Local
variables section of etc/NEWS (didn't everybody notice Emacs is
suddenly visiting NEWS in Fundamental mode?).  This was certainly not
intended, so I wonder what other unintended changes we acquired
through that merge.  Maybe some of the failures you see have similar
causes.

Sorry, I will almost certainly not be in a position to review the
changes carefully over the coming month.  I hope Philip or someone else
will find the time to address the issues.

I am currently also a bit strained on time, but I'll try to take tackle
the issue over the next few evenings.

With the latest changes pushed to scratch/package-vc-fixes I have
reduced the number of failing tests to three:

I am uncertain what the issue is in these cases, but I'll continue
looking around.

For some reason I suddenly keep getting `bad-signature' errors that
should (?) be unrelated to the actual issue.  I suspect that there might
be some other misconfiguration on my system.

What I was wondering is if you could run git bisect on the history
between the merge commit and f3e7820b48 to identify where the issues
appeared?

Scrap that, I figured out what the issue was.  package-vc requests
package specifications from "elpa-packages.eld", and I added the file
without adding a signature.  I've generated that, and now all the tests
pass.  The code is still on scratch/package-vc-fixes, as I am still
awaiting a few people to check if other issues have been resolved.  When
that has happened, I'll rebase the changes onto master.

That was in November 2022.

Since I'm not currently seeing any test failures, I'm going to assume
this has been fixed, and close this bug.  Please reopen if that's wrong.
