2006-08-19  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (Autotools Introduction) New chapter.

        (Auxiliary Programs, Install, Dist, Third-Party Makefiles)
        (distcleancheck): More cross references.
        * doc/amhello/configure.ac, doc/amhello/README,
        doc/amhello/Makefile.am, doc/amhello/src/Makefile.am,
        doc/amhello/src/main.c: New files.
        * doc/Makefile.am (dist_noinst_DATA): Distribute them.
        ($(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): New rule.
        (dist_doc_DATA): Install amhello-1.0.tar.gz.
        * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Update comment.

2006-08-15  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * doc/automake.texi: Fix some typos.

2006-08-14  Jonathan Higa <jthiga@gmail.com>

        * automake.in: Register "Unified Parallel C" as language.
        (lang_upc_rewrite): New function.
        (resolve_linker): Consider UPCLINK.
        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): Suggest
        AM_PROG_UPC for UPC and UPCFLAGS.
        * m4/upc.m4: New file.
        * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Add UPC case.
        * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add upc.m4.
        * doc/automake.texi (Unified Parallel C Support): New node.
        (Public macros): Mention AM_PROG_UPC.
        (Program and Library Variables, Flag Variables Ordering):
        Mention UPCFLAGS.
        * tests/upc.test, tests/upc2.test, tests/upc3.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
        * tests/ext.test: Also test upc files.

2006-08-04  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Fix some errors in previous patch.

        * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp.  Show an example of script
        built from configure.ac.  Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
        other built scripts.

        * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
        AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined.  This is for
        newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
        * tests/init.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

2006-08-04  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
        * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
        * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
        `make distdir' instead.

2006-08-04  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
        and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
        conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
        handled.
        * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
        AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
        definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
        Report from Bas Wijnen.
        * tests/amopt.test: New test.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

        * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
        new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null.  So
        create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
        file, and erase it afterward.  Fall back to using /dev/null only
        if we cannot create this file.
        Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
        (unlink_tmp): New function.
        * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.

2006-08-04  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
        do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
        to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
        Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
        depdir computation.
        * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
        Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
        main program.
        * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.

2006-07-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
        can install only one file at a time.
        (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
        (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
        (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
        cause weird behavior with the other changes below.  All later uses
        of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
        Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
        octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
        likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
        octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
        'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
        (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
        temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
        (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
        intermediate directories; this is safer.
        (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
        /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
        HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
        Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
        traditional implementations.

2006-07-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.

2006-07-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
        for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.

2006-06-24  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
            Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
        `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
        computed by config.status.
        * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
        a changed directory.  Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
        * THANKS: Update.

2006-06-24  Eric Dorland  <eric@debian.org>
            Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
        * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

2006-06-07  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.

2006-06-07  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.

2006-06-06  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
            Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
        distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
        and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
        Fix some comment typos.

2006-06-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
        7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
        with `-MDupdate'.  Refine test to catch this.

        * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
        procedure.

        * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
        requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
        this.  Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
        is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
        * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
        subsequent checks.
        * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.

        * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
        MinGW perl.
        * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
        * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.

        * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
        plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
        for grep.  Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
        * THANKS: Update.

2006-05-26  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>  (tiny change)

        * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.

2006-05-25  Noah Misch  <noah@cs.caltech.edu>

        * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
        ENOLCK.  Only mention `make -j' when applicable.  Only raise
        fatal errors when `make -j' is involved.  Improve error message.

2006-05-17  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
        `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
        directory component.
        * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
        this file.
        * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
        * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
        * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.

2006-05-16  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
        New upstream versions.

2006-05-15  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
        repository, they use SVN now.

2006-05-13  Werner Lemberg  <wl@gnu.org>

        * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
        savannah.nongnu.org.

2006-05-13  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
        lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
        lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.

2006-05-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
        Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
        as per GNU coding standards.  Close a race condition reported by Ralf
        Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal.  There is still a race condition
        on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
        Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
        Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.

2006-05-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
        GNUmake.
        * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
        follow `. ./defs' in the tests.

        * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.  Fix test that
        ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
        `configure'.
        * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
        * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise.  Do not override by setting
        $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
        * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
        * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise.  Use `set -e'.

        * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
        turned off later.
        * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.

        * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
        the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
        it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it.  Fixes
        java.test failure.

        * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
        files in the source tree.  Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
        make.

        * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
        (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
        (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.

2006-05-10  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
        /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.

        * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
        Autoconf.

        * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
        * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
        in perl < 5.8.2.

        * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
        it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
        fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.

        * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
        match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
        cause false matches.  Tighten overrides regex.  Fix typo
        `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.

        * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
        exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
        * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.

        * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
        if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'.  Create the wrapper in a
        subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
        loop.

        * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
        (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
        comment.  Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
        * THANKS: Update.

        * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
        and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
        they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
        file.

        * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes.  Replace all uses of
        `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
        * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

        * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
        (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them.  Unifies detection of
        `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
        Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man.  Fixes
        PR automake/483.  Report by Dennis J. Linse.
        (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.
        * THANKS: Update.

2006-04-26  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@gnu.org>  (tiny change)

        * doc/automake.texi (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Fix typo.

2006-04-25  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * lib/install-sh: Simplify the expr implementation of dirname.

2006-04-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
        * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
        mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
        the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.

2006-04-21  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
        (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
        * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
        (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
        Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
        with two different autoconf versions.  Report from Noah Misch.
        * tests/missing4.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

2006-04-20  Paul Lunau  <temp@lunau.me.uk>  (tiny change)
            Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * lib/am/dejagnu.am (check-DEJAGNU): Fail when at least one test
        failed, instead of when the last one failed (PR automake/488).
        Report from Paul Lunau.
        * tests/dejagnu4.test: Update to expose this.
        * THANKS: Update.

2006-04-19  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Match XFAIL_TESTS delimited by
        TABs as well as spaces.  Fixes PR automake/490.
        * tests/check6.test: New test.
        * tests/Makefile.am, THANKS: Update.
        Report from Diab Jerius <djerius@cfa.harvard.edu>.

2006-04-17  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (find_file): Fix a typo in the
        description; eliminate the duplicate error message.
        * doc/automake.texi (@direntry): `Invoking Automake' is the name
        of the usage node for `automake'
        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_gen_varname): Fix typos in the
        comment.

2006-04-17  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * m4/lispdir.m4 (AM_PATH_LISPDIR): Require Autoconf 2.59c,
        because it uses `datarootdir'.  Bump copyright year and serial.

2006-04-10  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * NEWS: Fix typo.

2006-04-09  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_hash_varname, _hash_values): New functions.
        (_gen_varname): Use _hash_values, and return a flag indicating whether
        the variable name was generated or reused.
        (transform_variable_recursively): Do not redefine variables that
        are reused, and try to reuse the variable being transformed.
        * tests/check2.test: Make sure TESTS hasn't been redefined.
        * tests/check5.test, tests/exeext4.test: Make sure variables have
        been reused.
        * tests/subst2.test: Make sure bin_PROGRAMS gets rewritten.

        * automake.in (%ignored_configure_vars): New variable.
        (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace for _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE and fill
        %ignored_configure_vars.
        (define_configure_variable): Declare ignored configure variables
        as VAR_SILENT.  Do not special-case AMDEPBACKSLASH and ANSI2KNR
        w.r.t. VAR_SILENT.
        * m4/substign.m4: New file.
        * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add substign.m4.
        * m4/cond.m4: _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE $1_TRUE and $1_FALSE (PR automake/477).

        * automake.in (handle_single_transform): Preserve directories in
        direct suffix rules.
        * tests/suffix12.test: New test.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
        Report from John Ratliff.

2006-03-25  Mike Frysinger  <vapier@gentoo.org>  (tiny change)
            Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        adjust scan_configure_dep and scan_file accordingly.
        (scan_configure_dep): Do not search white lines.

            Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Zack's original patch was contributed to GCC on 2005-06-13.
        (tru64): Typo.

2005-11-01  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * lib/install-sh: Use "trap '' 0" instead of "trap - 0", so that
        the code is portable to both POSIX and pre-POSIX shells.

2005-10-17  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',

2005-09-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * doc/automake.texi (limitations on file names): New section.
        * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
        Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
        This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
        loses the race in creating the last path component against another
        process.
        * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.

2005-09-13  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

2005-08-07  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if

        Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.

        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
        search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
        People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
        AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
        * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
        for missing files that can be installed.
        * tests/library3.test: Adjust.

2005-07-27  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
        `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.

        * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
        * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
        * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.

2005-07-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
        problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('.  Automake and
        Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
        if the usual candidates show up.

2005-07-19  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.

        versions.

2005-07-09  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
        / into % as it prevents directory names using %...

2005-07-09  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
        * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.

2005-07-09  Zack Weinberg  <zack@codesourcery.com>  (tiny change)

        * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
        "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
        ia64 systems).

2005-07-02  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

2005-06-30  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
        lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
        * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
        if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
        Suggested by Stepan Kasal.

        * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
        trailing backslash.
        * tests/commen10.test: New file.

        Report from Harald Dunkel.

        * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
        of AC_SUBST.
        * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
        Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
        * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
        * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.

2005-06-29  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if

            Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
        * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
        Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.

2005-06-24  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
        variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
        only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
        variable, not to older helper variables.  This way the order of
        the items appended to the variable is preserved.
        * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
        * tests/cond38.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.

        * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.

        * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
        definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
        generate_makefile.  This superfluous definition introduced long
        lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
        line length.  Report from Mathias Froehlich.

2005-06-11  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):

        * doc/automake.texi: Fix a few typos.

2005-03-30  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (Uniform): Use xmldir instead of htmldir as
        example, since the GCS now define htmldir.
        (Auxiliary Programs): Mention config-ml.in and symlink-tree.
        Give a URL for texinfo.tex.
        (Public macros): Sort alphabetically, and move obsolete macros...

        * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Do not attempt to recover

2005-03-04  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * aclocal.in (scan_configure_dep, scan_file): Include file names
        are relative to the directory of configure.ac, not to the
        directory of the file doing the include.  Remove code for this
        latter case.
        * tests/acloca13.test: Run distcheck and make sure all macros are
        actually distributed.

2005-03-03  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        For PR automake/450:
        * aclocal.in (scan_file, scan_configure_dep): Skip missing sincluded
        files.
        * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Likewise.
        * tests/sinclude.test: Augment.
        Report from Peter Breitenlohner.

        For PR automake/450:
        * aclocal.in (write_aclocal, trace_used_macros): Do not add/remove
        acinclude.m4 and configure.ac to the include map in these two
        places ...
        (strip_redundant_includes): ... do it here.  This completes the
        previous change from 2005-03-01, that did not update
        write_aclocal.
        * tests/acloca19.test: Augment.
