Subject: tests: fix spurious failure of txinfo21.test on FreeBSD
X-Git-Tag: ng-0.5a~179^2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a370e2f5cd098af9b95314cdd49b0fbee6588a82;p=thirdparty%2Fautomake.git

tests: fix spurious failure of txinfo21.test on FreeBSD

* tests/txinfo21.test: Use the `is_newest' subroutine instead of
the `ls -t' hack to to determine whether a file has been updated.
This is required because at least FreeBSD `ls' do not sort files
with the same timestamp in alphabetical order when using the `-t'
option.
