ChangeLog

   1 2011-01-11  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
   2
   3         Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
   4         * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
   5         `make', for debugging.  When looking for required tools, do not
   6         redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
   7         uselessly run it in a subshell.
   8         * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
   9         make.  All checks moved into Makefile.am.
  10         * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
  11         configure.in.
  12         * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
  13         minor improvements.
  14         * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
  15         changes.  Add trailing `:' command.
  16         * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
  17         Makefile.in stricter.
  18         * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
  19         changes.  Add trailing `:' command.  Do not add unnecessary stuff
  20         to Makefile.am.
  21         * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
  22         to be generated only once really are.  Make grepping less strict,
  23         to avoid exposing too much internal details.  More minor changes.
  24         * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'.  Prefer cat over echo
  25         for appending to configure.in.  Updated/fixed heading comments.
  26         * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
  27         it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
  28         * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
  29         * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
  30         * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'.  Prefer cat over echo
  31         for appending to configure.in.  Also, check that index files are
  32         cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
  33         * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
  34         and added trailing `:' command.  This testcase also used to check
  35         that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
  36         preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
  37         "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
  38         so they have been moved ...
  39         * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
  40         * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps.  Add
  41         trailing `:' command.
  42         * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise.  Relax grepping of generated
  43         Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces.  Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
  44         append to configure.in.
  45         * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
  46         * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
  47         make it stricter, sometimes laxer).  Move `set -e' setting just
  48         after the inclusion of ./defs.  De-uglify a sed command.  Other
  49         minor cosmetic improvements.

  51         trailing `:' command.

  53         * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.

  76
  77         Add test coverage for deleted header files.
  78         * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to
  79         also check for the deleted header bug.  If no dependency
  80         tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit

 158         * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require

 166         * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep

 169         all the expected error messages.  This should work around make
 170         implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
 171         information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:

 200         * tests/help-depend.test: Grepping of configure help screen

 220 2010-11-25  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 221
 222         Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
 223         In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
 224         use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
 225         unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
 226         compilers were used.  So we are now careful to require GCC in
 227         tests that force gcc depmode.
 228         From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
 229         * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
 230         * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new

 234         * silent-lex-generic.test, silent-lex-gcc.test: ... these new

 236         "gcc" in $required.
 237         * silentyacc.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
 238         * silent-yacc-generic.test, silent-yacc-gcc.test: ... these new
 239         sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
 240         "gcc" in $required.
 241         * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
 242
 243 2010-11-21  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

 314         help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
 315         * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it

 342         Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
 343         * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
 344         post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
 345         of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
 346         on the commend line.  Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
 347         * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
 348         Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
 349         improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
 350         Wildenhues.

 353
 354         Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
 355         * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
 356         hand-postprocessed Makefile.in.  This check worked by setting
 357         the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
 358         not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
 359         This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
 360         commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
 361         tests".  Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
 362
 363 2010-11-16  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

 366         * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
 367         double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
 368         are not part of the Automake API.
 369
 370 2010-11-14  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 371
 372         tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
 373         * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
 374         pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
 375
 376 2010-11-14  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
 377
 378         Rebuild menus in the manual.
 379         * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
 380         Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
 381
 382         Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
 383         * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment.  Use
 384         separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
 385         to fix quoting issues.
 386         * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
 387         * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.
 388

 392         * tests/yaccdry.test: Require bison.
 393         Found by NixOS Hydra.
 394
 395 2010-11-07  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 396
 397         Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
 398         * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
 399         "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
 400         later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
 401         character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
 402         escaped newlines.  This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
 403         where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
 404         * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
 405         * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

 505         it, rather than removing already present files.  Run the aclocal
 506         and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
 507         $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL.  Be sure to correctly match literal dots

 630         Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
 631         * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'

 639
 640         Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
 641         The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent

 645         * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.

 651         instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
 652         * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
 653         white spaces.  Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'
 654         and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.
 655         (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'.
 656         * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command.
 657         * tests/confh7.test: In comments, add reference to ...
 658         * tests/confh8.test: ... this new test, "semantic" sister
 659         of `confh7.test'.
 660         * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
 661         Prompted by a report from Ralf Wildenhues.
 662

1128
1129         Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1130         * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1131         the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1132         at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1133         and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1134         priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1135         Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1136         standard error.
1137         Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1138         Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than

1173         Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1174         * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1175         `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is

1177         * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1178         * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.

1193         Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1194         * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep

1212         tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1213         please maintainer-check.  Ensure generated C files contain a
1214         declaration, to please compilers.

1249         * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1250         changes.  Also, do not redirect grep output to /dev/null, as this

1252         * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1253         in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs).  Use a more

1300         of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1301         * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1302         * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'

1304         that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1305         the original one.
1306         * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by

1308         to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1309         Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done

1341         * tests/acloca18.test: Print captured stderr before either failing

1343         stdout.

1444         * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1445         actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error

1646         %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1647         * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1648         `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1649         (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1650         set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1651         * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1652         verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1653         dependencies are enabled.
1654         * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1655         also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1656         * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1657         dependency tracking.

1663
1664         Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.

1668         the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1669

1680
1681         Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1682         Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1683         autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1684         and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1685         required configure 2.61a-341 or later.  This change should
1686         eliminate such inconsistencies.
1687         * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1688         Use it throughout.

1702
1703         Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1704         * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1705         an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1706
1707         Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1708         * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag.  Also, avoid
1709         unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1710
1711         Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1712         * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1713         instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1714         since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter.  Do not SKIP the test
1715         if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1716
1717 2010-04-25  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1718
1719         Fix typo in manual.

1721         missing closing parenthesis.
1722
1723         Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1724         * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1725         macros_dump.  Print actual error before list of variables.
1726
1727 2010-04-25  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1743         Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1744         * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'.  Due to this change,
1745         an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1746         was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1747         Also, bumped the copyright years.
1748
1749         Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1750         * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1751         an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1752
1753         Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1754         * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1755         changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1756         Also, bumped copyright years.
1757

1761         * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1762         $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1763         have been parsed.
1764         (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1765         * tests/configure.test: New test.
1766         * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1767         Report by Stefano Lattarini.

1771         Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1772         * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1773         copyright years.  Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1774         in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1775         a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1776         cause the whole test to fail.
1777
1778 2010-04-17  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1779
1780         Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1781         * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1782         @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1783
1784 2010-04-14  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1785
1786         Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1787         * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1788         * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1789         * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.

1798         test description.
1799
1800 2010-04-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1801
1802         Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1803         Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1804         Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1805         treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1806         and unstable exit status values.
1807         * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
1808         (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of

1838
1839         Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
1840         * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
1841         in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
1842         and readonly).
1843
1844         Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
1845         * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
1846         $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
1847         symlink targets).  Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
1848         distdir.am.
1849
