  50         yacc: "make clean" removes .c and .h files from non-distributed .y
  51         Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
  52         files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources, it still caused
  53         them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
  54         simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
  55         This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
  56         those generated .c and .h files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES
  57         by hand.
  58         This change fixes this issue, by making non-distributed `.c' and
  59         `.h' files generated by non-distributed Yacc sources cleaned by
  60         "make clean".
  61         * tests/automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Make C source and
  62         header files derived from non-distributed Yacc files cleaned by
  63         "make clean", not only by "make maintainer-clean".
  64         * tests/yacc-clean.test: New test.
  65         * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
  66         * NEWS: Update.
  67

  74
  75         docs: how to work around checks on invalid primary/directory couples
  76         * doc/automake.texi (Uniform): Document the blessed idiom which can
  77         be used to work around automake checks on invalid primary/directory
  78         couples (such as `lib_PROGRAMS' or `doc_LIBRARIES').
  79

  81
  82         Sync auxiliary files from upstream.

  85

  87         * tests/subobj11a.test: Pass DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS in the

  99         * automake.in (handle_single_transform): In the name of the

 117         * tests/parallel-tests8.test: Likewise, plus a required related
 118         change.
 119         Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.  The bugs have been there from the
 120         first versions of the affected test scripts.
 121
 122 2010-12-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 123
 124         docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
 125         * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
 126         the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
 127         least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
 128         Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).

 131
 132         distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
 133         * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
 134         its output each time for a single error message, rather than
 135         running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
 136         all the expected error messages.  This should work around make
 137         implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
 138         information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
 139           - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

 146         Fix sed-related buglet in test "subdir5.test"
 147         * tests/subdir5.test: Always terminate text passed to the

 149         in e.g. older OpenBSD sed.
 150
 151 2010-12-18  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

 166         Improve tests on generated portions of configure help screen.
 167         * tests/help-depend.test: Grepping of configure help screen
 168         relaxed to cater for possible line wrapping, and tightened in
 169         other respects.
 170         * tests/help-depend2.test: Likewise.
 171         * tests/help-dmalloc.test: Likewise.

 178         tightened.
 179
 180 2010-12-10  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 181
 182         Avoid running installed automake from 'libtool --help'.
 183         * tests/subobj9.test: Export AUTOCONF and AUTOMAKE.
 184         Together with fixed Libtool, this fixes check-coverage to not
 185         invoke installed automake.
 186
 187 2010-11-25  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 188
 189         Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
 190         In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
 191         use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
 192         unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
 193         compilers were used.  So we are now careful to require GCC in
 194         tests that force gcc depmode.
 195         From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
 196         * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
 197         * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
 198         sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
 199         "gcc" in $required.
 200         * silentlex.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
 201         * silent-lex-generic.test, silent-lex-gcc.test: ... these new
 202         sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
 203         "gcc" in $required.
 204         * silentyacc.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
 205         * silent-yacc-generic.test, silent-yacc-gcc.test: ... these new
 206         sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
 207         "gcc" in $required.
 208         * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
 209
 210 2010-11-21  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

 212         Tests: consistently use "|| Exit 1" after ". ./defs".

 279         * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
 280
 281         help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
 282         * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
 283         didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was

 285
 286         help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
 287         * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and

 290
 291 2010-11-17  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 292
 293         Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
 294         * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
 295         messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to
 296         avoid spurious failures.  Add a trailing `:' command.
 297         * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
 298
 299 2010-11-17  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 300
 301         Fix spurious failures of silent5.test with Sun Fortran.
 302         * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
 303         messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,
 304         to avoid spurious failures.  This bug has been there from the
 305         very first version of this test script.
 306
 307 2010-11-16  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 308
 309         Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
 310         * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
 311         post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
 312         of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
 313         on the commend line.  Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
 314         * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
 315         Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
 316         improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
 317         Wildenhues.
 318
 319 2010-11-16  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 320
 321         Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
 322         * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
 323         hand-postprocessed Makefile.in.  This check worked by setting
 324         the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
 325         not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
 326         This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
 327         commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
 328         tests".  Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
 329
 330 2010-11-16  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

 333         * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
 334         double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they

1025         * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): test contents of $COND_TRUE

1062         autoconf/automake macros.
1063
1064         Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1065         * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1066         a $MAKE call.  Extend test by grepping stderr of make.

1068         Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
1069         instead.  Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
1070         Display the content of more files, to ease debugging.  Add a
1071         trailing `:' command.  Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister

1074         autoconf.
1075         * tests/distcom3.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured stdout
1076         and stderr.  Make grepping of captured stderr stricter.  Also,

1078         * tests/distcom4.test: Declare the target `test' in the generated
1079         Makefile.am as `.PHONY'.  Display content of more files, to ease

1095
1096         Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1097         * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1098         the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1099         at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1100         and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1101         priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1102         Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1103         standard error.
1104         Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1105         Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than

1139
1140         Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1141         * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1142         `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1143         already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1144         * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1145         * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.

1159
1160         Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1161         * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1162         instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1163
1164 2010-06-21  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1178         * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
1179         tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1180         please maintainer-check.  Ensure generated C files contain a
1181         declaration, to please compilers.
1182
1183 2010-06-21  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1195         * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1196         precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS).  Still

1198         * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
1199         * tests/yflags.test: New test, check that user $(YFLAGS) takes
1200         precedence over automake (AM_YFLAGS) and (foo_YFLAGS).  Still

1212         source file.
1213         * tests/suffix7.test: Likewise.
1214         * tests/suffix5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1215         changes.  Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1216         * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1217         changes.  Also, do not redirect grep output to /dev/null, as this
1218         might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1219         * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1220         in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs).  Use a more
1221         idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1222         grep.  Do not create useless dummy source files.

1264         changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1265         * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1266         `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.  Make grepping
1267         of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1268         * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1269         * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1270         earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1271         that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1272         the original one.
1273         * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1274         `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.  Move the call
1275         to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1276         Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1277         in ./defs).  Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1278         output.  Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
1279         * tests/substre2.test: Ensure verbose printing of the captured

1290         here-doc, not using echo.
1291         * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1292         `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1293         instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1294         * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1295         changes.
1296         * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise.  Also, do not create useless dummy
1297         data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1411         * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1412         actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error

1614         * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1615         `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.

1631         Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1632         * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag.  Related and
1633         unrelated minor changes.  Make the grepping of the generated
1634         Makefile.in slightly stricter.  Generate and run configure, so that
1635         the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1636
1637 2010-05-23  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1638
1639         Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1640         * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1641         than \015, for EBCDIC hosts.  Also, avoid unportable nested
1642         double-quotes and backquotes.
1643         * THANKS: Update.
1644         Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.

1646 2010-05-23  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1647
1648         Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1649         Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1650         autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1651         and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1652         required configure 2.61a-341 or later.  This change should
1653         eliminate such inconsistencies.
1654         * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1655         Use it throughout.

1662
1663         Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1664         * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1665         * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1666         Require GNU make.
1667
1668 2010-05-23  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1669
1670         Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1671         * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1672         an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1673
1674         Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1675         * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag.  Also, avoid
1676         unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1677
1678         Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1679         * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1680         instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1681         since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter.  Do not SKIP the test
1682         if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1683
1684 2010-04-25  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1685
1686         Fix typo in manual.

1688         missing closing parenthesis.
1689
1690         Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1691         * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1692         macros_dump.  Print actual error before list of variables.
1693
1694 2010-04-25  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1709
1710         Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1711         * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'.  Due to this change,
1712         an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1713         was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1714         Also, bumped the copyright years.
1715
1716         Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1717         * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1718         an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1719
1720         Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1721         * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1722         changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1723         Also, bumped copyright years.
1724
1725 2010-04-20  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1726
1727         Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1728         * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1729         $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1730         have been parsed.
1731         (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1732         * tests/configure.test: New test.
1733         * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1734         Report by Stefano Lattarini.

1736 2010-04-20  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1737
1738         Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1739         * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1740         copyright years.  Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1741         in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1742         a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1743         cause the whole test to fail.
1744
1745 2010-04-17  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1746
1747         Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1748         * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1749         @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1750
1751 2010-04-14  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1752
1753         Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1754         * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1755         * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1756         * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.

1765         test description.
1766
1767 2010-04-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1768
1769         Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1770         Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1771         Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1772         treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1773         and unstable exit status values.
1774         * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
1775         (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of

1805
1806         Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
1807         * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
1808         in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
1809         and readonly).
1810
1811         Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
1812         * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
1813         $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
1814         symlink targets).  Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
1815         distdir.am.
1816
