 krb5 will automatically adapt its test suite to account for the configuration
 of your system.  Certain tests may require more installed packages to run.  No
 tests are expected to fail.

+Updating test suites
+====================
+
+To update the commit for any of the above test suites:
+
+- Make sure the submodules are cloned locally:
+
+  $ git submodule update --init --recursive
+
+- Enter subdirectory and pull from the repository (use a specific branch/tag if required):
+
+  $ cd <submodule-dir> 
+  $ git pull origin master
+
+- Go to root directory, there should be a new git status:
+
+  $ cd ../
+  $ git status
+  ...
+  #       modified:   <submodule-dir> (new commits)
+  ...
+
+- Add/commit/push the update
+
+  git add <submodule-dir>
+  git commit -m "Updated <submodule> to latest commit"
+  git push
