3 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
4 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
5 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
6 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
7 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
8 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

13 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
14 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
15 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
16 parallel-tests driver.

36 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
37 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.

48 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
49 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
50 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
51 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
52 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.

81 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
82 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
83 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)

122 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL

125 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
126 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.

134 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
136 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
137 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
138 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
139 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
140 uselessly run it in a subshell.
141 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
142 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
143 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
145 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
147 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
148 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
149 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
150 Makefile.in stricter.
151 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
152 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
154 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
155 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
156 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
157 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
158 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
159 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
160 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
161 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
162 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
163 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
164 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
165 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
166 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
167 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
168 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
169 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
170 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
171 so they have been moved ...
172 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
173 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
174 trailing `:' command.
175 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
176 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
177 append to configure.in.
178 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
179 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
180 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
181 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
182 minor cosmetic improvements.
183 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
184 trailing `:' command.
185 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
186 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.

210 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
211 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to
212 also check for the deleted header bug. If no dependency
213 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
214 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.

293 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
294 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).

298 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
299 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
300 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
301 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
302 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
303 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
304 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:

355 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
356 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
357 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
358 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
359 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
360 tests that force gcc depmode.
361 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
362 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
363 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
364 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

477 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
478 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
479 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
480 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.

487 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
488 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
489 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
490 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
491 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
492 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by

513 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
515 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.

530 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
531 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
532 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
533 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
534 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
535 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
536 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
537 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
538 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

556 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
557 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
559 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
560 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.

598 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
599 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'

636 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
637 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
638 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
639 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on

643 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
644 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
645 `--version' take precedence on the other options.

707 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
708 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or

771 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
773 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
774 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
775 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in

784 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
785 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.

908 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
909 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.

1010 * tests/confvar2.test: Likewise.
1011 * tests/conflnk3.test: Cosmetic changes. Re-enable a temporarily
1012 disabled test (which didn't work with autoconf <= 2.59, but now we
1013 are requiring autoconf 2.62, so...)
1014 * tests/conflnk4.test: Cosmetic changes, and extend existing tests
1015 accordingly to "TODO" comments.
1016 * tests/conff2.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
1017 Add some comments explaining why we don't use the `configure.in'
1018 stub preset be ./defs.
1019 * tests/confh.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by ./defs,
1020 rather than writing one from scratch, and do not call AC_OUTPUT.
1021 Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related changes. Prefer diff over
1022 cmp to compare text files. Prefer perl over sed to fetch the value
1023 of $(DIST_COMMON) from Makefile.in. Make grepping of the contents

1046 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
1047 Add a trailing `:' command.
1048 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1049 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
1050 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1051 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1052 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
1053 trailing `:' command.
1054 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in
1055 grep regexps. Always use `: >' rather than `touch' to create empty

1069 statement required by OpenBSD's sh `set -e' more robust, and add
1070 explanatory comments to it.
1071 * tests/depcomp7.test: Likewise, and add a trailing `:' command.
1073 Separate failing part of test `all.test'.
1074 * tests/all.test: Keep only (x)failing part of the test. Working
1075 checks moved out to ...
1076 * tests/all2.test: ... this new test.

1097 * tests/subobj6.test: Add trailing `:' command. Move setting of
1098 `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion
1099 of ./defs). Do not create useless dummy ac-init file `f'.
1100 * tests/subobj7.test: Do not create useless dummy ac-init file
1102 (configure.in): Use the stub created by `./defs', rather than
1103 writing it from scratch, and avoid obsolescent constructs.
1104 * tests/subobj9.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1105 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1106 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1107 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1108 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1109 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1110 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1125 * bootstrap: Do not remove `lib/Automake/Config.pm' anymore,
1126 since we don't generate it. Correctly quote arguments of
1127 `eval' builtin. Fixed a botched error message. Removed an
1130 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1131 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1132 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1134 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.
1135 * bootstrap ($AUTOCONF): New variable, from the environment.
1136 ($AUTOM4TE): Likewise, for clarity.

1192 variable, rather than re-evaluating the shell expression for
1194 * tests/cond40.test: Extend test.
1197 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1198 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty
1199 to avoid shell syntax error if the m4 expansion is empty.

1206 2010-07-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1208 Modernize and improve test scripts `subdir*.test'.
1209 * tests/subdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related

1213 * tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
1214 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1215 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1216 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
1217 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1218 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1219 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1220 `subdir5.test' here).
1221 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.
1222 * tests/subdir9.test: Define and use new variable `$distdir'. Add
1223 trailing `:' command.

1225 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
1226 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
1227 it from scratch. Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
1228 autoconf/automake macros.
1230 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1231 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1232 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1233 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
1234 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
1235 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
1236 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a
1237 trailing `:' command. Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister

1255 writing it from scratch. Avoid obsoleted constructs. Remove
1256 useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.
1257 * tests/distdir.test: Various minor improvements/normalizations.
1258 * tests/distlinks.test: Likewise.
1260 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1262 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1263 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1264 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1265 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1266 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1267 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1268 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1270 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1271 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1272 writing one from scratch.

1284 home page and GNU general help page.
1285 * automake.in (usage): Likewise.
1286 * doc/automake.texi: New flag PACKAGE_BUGREPORT, to factor email
1288 (Introduction, Creating amhello, amhello Explained, Options):
1290 * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute

1306 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1307 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1308 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1309 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1310 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1311 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1312 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use
1313 of `foreign' option in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.

1324 2010-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1326 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1327 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1328 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1330 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1332 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1333 `make dist' to fail.

1344 * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
1345 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1346 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1347 declaration, to please compilers.
1349 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1351 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1352 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1353 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1354 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1355 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1356 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1359 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1360 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1361 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1362 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1364 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.

1381 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1382 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1383 changes. Also, do not redirect grep output to /dev/null, as this
1384 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1385 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1386 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1387 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1388 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1389 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1390 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.

1407 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1408 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1410 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
1411 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the

1422 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1423 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
1425 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1426 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.

1430 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1431 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1432 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1433 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1434 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1435 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1436 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1437 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1439 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1440 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1441 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1442 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1443 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1444 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
1445 * tests/substre2.test: Ensure verbose printing of the captured
1446 make's output, and make its grepping slightly stricter.

1459 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1460 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1462 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1463 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1489 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
1490 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
1492 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
1493 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1495 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.

1516 changes. Extended, esp. by running autoconf, ./configure and
1517 make, and by looking into the distdir.

1520 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1522 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1523 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1524 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1525 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1527 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1529 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1530 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way
1533 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
1534 * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
1535 improvement to comments.
1536 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1537 Prepend it to all error messages.
1539 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1540 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1541 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1542 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1543 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1544 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1546 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1548 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1549 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1550 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1551 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1552 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1553 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1554 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1555 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1556 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1557 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1558 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1559 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1560 rather than in the middle.
1561 * tests/exeext.test: Call `set -e' just after the inclusion of
1562 `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1563 * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.
1564 * tests/confdeps.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `mv -f' over
1565 plain `mv', just to be sure.
1566 * tests/depcomp.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1567 changes. Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
1568 * tests/cond9.test: Likewise. Also, rely on the `configure.in'
1569 stub created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.

1571 * tests/depcomp2.test: Likewise.
1572 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
1573 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
1574 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
1575 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1576 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1577 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1578 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1579 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
1580 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
1582 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1583 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1601 command substitution.
1602 * tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
1603 command substitution.
1604 * tests/version.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1605 in the generated `configure.in'.
1606 * tests/version2.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1607 in the generated `configure.in'.
1609 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1611 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
1612 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
1613 the verbose log contains all output.
1614 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
1615 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
1617 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1619 Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).

1629 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1631 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1632 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1633 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1634 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1635 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1636 known extension EXT.
1638 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1708 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1710 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1711 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1712 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1713 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
1714 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
1715 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
1716 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
1718 Report by Christina Gratorp.
1722 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1724 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1725 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1726 output produced by `make'.
1727 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1729 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1730 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1731 output produced by `make'.
1732 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
1733 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
1734 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1735 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1736 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1738 Improved test silent5.test.
1739 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1740 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1741 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1742 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1743 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1744 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1746 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1747 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1748 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1749 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1751 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
1752 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
1753 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1755 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
1756 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
1757 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1759 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1760 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1761 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1763 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1764 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1765 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1766 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
1767 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
1768 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
1769 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.

1773 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1775 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1776 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1777 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1778 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1780 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1781 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1782 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1783 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1784 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1785 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1786 dependencies are enabled.
1787 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1788 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1789 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1790 dependency tracking.
1791 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1792 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1793 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1795 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1797 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1798 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1799 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1800 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1801 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1803 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1805 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1806 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1807 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1808 double-quotes and backquotes.
1810 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1812 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1814 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1815 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1816 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1817 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1818 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1819 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1820 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1823 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1825 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1826 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1827 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1829 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1830 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1831 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1834 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1836 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1837 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1838 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1840 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1841 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1842 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1844 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1845 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1846 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1847 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1848 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1850 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1853 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1854 missing closing parenthesis.
1856 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1857 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1858 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1860 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1862 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1863 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1866 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1868 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1869 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1870 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1871 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1874 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1876 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1877 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1878 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1879 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1880 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1882 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1883 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1884 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1886 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1887 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1888 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1889 Also, bumped copyright years.
1891 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1893 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1894 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1895 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1897 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1898 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1899 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1900 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1902 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1904 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1905 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1906 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1907 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1908 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1909 cause the whole test to fail.
1911 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1913 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1914 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1915 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1917 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1919 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1920 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1921 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1922 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
1924 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1926 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
1927 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
1929 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
1930 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
1933 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1935 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1936 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1937 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1938 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1939 and unstable exit status values.
1940 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
1941 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
1942 $warnings_are_errors.
1943 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
1944 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1947 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1949 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1950 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
1951 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
1952 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1954 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
1955 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
1956 succeds unexpectedly.
1958 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
1959 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
1960 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1961 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
1963 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1965 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
1966 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
1967 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1968 Report by Pavel Sanda.
1970 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1972 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
