3 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
4 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
5 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
6 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
7 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
8 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
9 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
10 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
11 * libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to macro
12 AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does
13 not fail for the wrong reasons.
14 * ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool support
15 works with LT_INIT-based interface.
16 Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.

20 tests: tempdirs with restrictive permissions are cleaned correctly
21 Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory
22 containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as
23 'r--r--r--') could fail.
24 * tests/defs: Ensure that all the subdirectories of a temporary
25 test directory have the 'read', 'write' and 'execute' bits set,
26 before trying to remove it with `rm -rf'.
27 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Likewise.

47 tests defs: clear TESTS_ENVIRONMENT variable
48 * tests/defs.in (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset it, so that values
49 from environment won't interfere with the testcases.
50 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
52 2011-02-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
54 tests: tweak few tests on simple and parallel test drivers
55 * tests/check-exported-srcdir.test: Improve heading comments.
56 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: Likewise. Also, unset the
57 `FOO_EXIT_STATUS' variable, so that any pre-existing value in the
58 environment won't risk to interfere with the test.

79 docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
80 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
81 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
82 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
83 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
84 activated when it should.
86 2011-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
88 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
89 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
90 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
91 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
92 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
94 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

110 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
112 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
113 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
114 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
115 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.

124 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
126 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
127 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
128 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
129 up its internal memory when copying this tree.

137 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
139 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
140 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
141 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
143 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
145 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
146 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
147 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
148 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
149 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
150 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

176 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
177 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
178 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
179 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.

190 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
191 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
192 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
193 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.

278 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
279 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
280 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
281 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
282 uselessly run it in a subshell.
283 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
284 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
285 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
287 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
289 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
290 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
291 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
292 Makefile.in stricter.
293 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
294 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
296 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
297 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
298 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
299 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
300 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
301 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
302 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
303 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
304 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
305 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
306 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
307 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
308 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
309 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
310 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
311 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
312 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
313 so they have been moved ...
314 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
315 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
316 trailing `:' command.
317 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
318 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
319 append to configure.in.
320 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
321 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
322 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
323 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
324 minor cosmetic improvements.
325 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
326 trailing `:' command.
327 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.

432 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.

440 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
441 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
442 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
443 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
444 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
445 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
446 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
447 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

497 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
498 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
499 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
500 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
501 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
502 tests that force gcc depmode.

582 compiler/flag environment variables.
584 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
586 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
587 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
589 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
590 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
591 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
594 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
595 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
596 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both

601 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
602 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
603 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to

610 * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
611 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,
612 to avoid spurious failures. This bug has been there from the

615 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
617 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
618 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
619 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
620 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
621 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
622 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
623 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
624 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
627 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
629 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
630 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
631 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
632 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
633 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
634 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
635 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
636 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
638 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
640 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
641 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
642 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
643 are not part of the Automake API.
645 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
647 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
648 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
649 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
651 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
653 Rebuild menus in the manual.
654 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
655 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
657 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
658 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use

660 to fix quoting issues.
661 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
662 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.

668 Found by NixOS Hydra.
670 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
672 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
673 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
674 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
675 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
676 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
677 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
678 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
679 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
680 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
681 Reported by Andy Wingo.
683 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
685 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
686 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
687 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
688 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
689 of test `vala2.test'.
691 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
693 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
694 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
695 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
697 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
698 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
699 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
701 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
702 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
703 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
704 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
705 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
707 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

730 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
731 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
732 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
733 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
734 please maintainer-check.
735 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
737 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
738 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
740 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
741 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
742 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
743 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
744 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
745 * tests/help3.test: Likewise.
746 * tests/help4.test: Likewise.
748 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

751 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
752 are expanded before rules.
753 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
754 get matched as a rule.
755 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
757 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
759 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
760 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,

778 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
779 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
780 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
781 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
782 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
783 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.

822 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
823 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
824 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
825 `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private

847 lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
848 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
849 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
850 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or
853 2010-09-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

905 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
906 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
907 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
908 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
910 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
911 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
913 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
915 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
916 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
917 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in

961 to avoid producing a configure script that breaks with shells
962 that do not support $LINENO. Also throw in a couple of cosmetic

967 Improve robustness of mdate-sh script.
968 * lib/mdate-sh: Sanitize zsh behavior on startup, to ensure
969 $ls_command is word-split properly upon invocation.

987 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that
988 automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that

1048 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
1049 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
1050 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
1051 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
1052 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.

1118 a useless dummy file. Add trailing `:' command.
1119 * tests/colon4.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and

1157 accordingly to "TODO" comments.

1189 Add a trailing `:' command.
1190 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1191 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
1192 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1193 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1194 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
1195 trailing `:' command.

1247 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1248 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1249 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1250 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".

1339 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1340 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1359 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1360 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1361 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1362 `subdir5.test' here).
1363 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.

1373 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1374 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.

1404 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1405 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1406 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1407 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1408 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1409 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1410 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1412 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1413 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1414 writing one from scratch.

1448 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1449 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1450 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1451 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1452 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1453 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.

1468 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1469 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1470 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1472 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1474 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause

1482 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Mention AM_YFLAGS, YFLAGS
1483 and AM_LFLAGS, LFLAGS in the order in which they now appear in
1486 * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
1487 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1488 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1489 declaration, to please compilers.
1491 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1493 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1494 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1495 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1496 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1497 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1498 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1501 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1502 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1503 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1504 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1506 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
1507 * tests/yflags.test: New test, check that user $(YFLAGS) takes
1508 precedence over automake (AM_YFLAGS) and (foo_YFLAGS). Still

1526 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1527 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1528 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1529 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1530 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1531 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1532 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
1533 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the
1534 env(1) utility, and make grepping of make output stricter by using
1535 $FGREP rather than plain grep.

1542 2010-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1544 Add useful comment in test script ext.test.
1545 * tests/ext.test: Add a comment explaining why an apparently
1546 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1548 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1549 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1550 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1552 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
1553 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the
1554 definition of this variable.

1560 for the FOOTEST conditional.
1562 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1564 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.

1567 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1568 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1569 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
1570 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
1571 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
1572 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1573 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1574 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1575 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1576 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1577 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1578 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1579 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1581 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1582 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1583 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1584 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1585 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1586 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
1587 * tests/substre2.test: Ensure verbose printing of the captured
1588 make's output, and make its grepping slightly stricter.

1598 here-doc, not using echo.
1599 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1600 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1601 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1602 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1604 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1605 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.
1606 * tests/pluseq2.test: Likewise. Also, append to configure.in
1607 using cat with an here-doc, not using echo.

1634 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
1635 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1637 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.

1662 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1664 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1665 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1666 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1667 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1669 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1671 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.

1682 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1683 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1684 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1685 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1686 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1688 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1690 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1691 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1692 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.

1694 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1695 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1696 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1697 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1698 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1699 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1700 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1701 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1702 rather than in the middle.

1720 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1721 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.

1773 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1774 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1775 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1776 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1777 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1778 known extension EXT.

1882 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1883 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without

1919 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1920 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1922 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1923 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1924 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1925 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.

1945 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1947 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.

1954 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1956 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1957 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1958 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1959 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1960 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1961 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1962 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1965 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1967 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1968 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1969 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1971 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1972 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1973 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1976 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1978 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1979 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1980 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1982 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1983 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1984 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1986 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1987 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1988 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1989 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1990 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1992 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1995 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1996 missing closing parenthesis.
1998 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1999 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2000 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2002 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2004 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2005 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2008 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2010 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2011 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2012 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2013 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2016 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2018 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2019 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2020 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2021 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2022 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2024 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2025 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2026 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2028 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2029 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2030 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2031 Also, bumped copyright years.
2033 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2035 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2036 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2037 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2039 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2040 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2041 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2042 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2044 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2046 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2047 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2048 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2049 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2050 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2051 cause the whole test to fail.
2053 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2055 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2056 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2057 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2059 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2061 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2062 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2063 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2064 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2066 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2068 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2069 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2071 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2072 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2075 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2077 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2078 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2079 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2080 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2081 and unstable exit status values.
2082 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2083 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2084 $warnings_are_errors.
2085 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2086 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2089 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2091 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2092 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2093 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2094 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2096 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2097 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2098 succeds unexpectedly.
2100 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2101 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2102 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2103 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2105 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2107 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2108 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2109 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2110 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2112 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2114 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2115 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2116 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2119 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2120 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2121 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2122 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2125 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2127 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2128 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2129 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2130 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2132 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2134 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2135 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2138 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2140 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2141 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2142 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2143 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2144 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2146 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2147 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2149 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2150 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2151 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2152 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2153 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2154 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2155 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2156 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2158 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2160 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2161 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
2162 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
2163 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
2164 * tests/parallel-tests4.test: Likewise.

2171 * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"):
2172 Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
2173 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
2174 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
2176 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2178 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
2179 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
2180 already unset in the `defs' file.
2181 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
2182 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.
2183 * tests/check9.test: Likewise.

2195 Improve help message of mdate-sh.
2196 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
2198 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2200 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2201 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2202 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2204 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
2206 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2208 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
2209 * tests/extra10.test: New test, check basic support of wildcards
2211 * tests/extra11.test: New test, check more complex usage of

2227 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
2228 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
2229 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to

2251 Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
2252 * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
2253 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
2254 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
2256 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
2258 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
2259 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls

2261 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
2262 Updated copyright years.
2263 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
2265 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
2266 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the
