3 Fix spurious failures of silent5.test with Sun Fortran.
4 * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
5 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,
6 to avoid spurious failures. This bug has been there from the
7 very first version of this test script.
9 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
11 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
12 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
13 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
14 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
15 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
16 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
17 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
18 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
21 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
23 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
24 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
25 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This checs worked by setting
26 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
27 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
28 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
29 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
30 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
32 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
34 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
35 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
36 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
37 are not part of the Automake API.
39 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
41 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
42 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
43 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
45 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
47 Rebuild menus in the manual.
48 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
49 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
51 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
52 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
53 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
54 to fix quoting issues.
55 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
56 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.

64 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
66 Fix a bug in variable concatanation with `+='.
67 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
68 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
69 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
70 character, instead of trying to be uselesssly smarter by using
71 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
72 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
73 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
74 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
75 Reported by Andy Wingo.
77 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

81 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
82 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
85 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
87 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
88 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
89 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
91 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
92 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
93 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
95 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
96 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
97 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
98 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
99 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
101 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

111 Add support for newer python versions.
112 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to

124 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
125 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
126 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."

131 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
132 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
134 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
135 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
136 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
137 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
138 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
139 * tests/help3.test: Likewise.

146 are expanded before rules.
147 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
148 get matched as a rule.

151 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
153 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
154 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,

172 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
173 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
174 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
175 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
176 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
177 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
178 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
179 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
180 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
181 `--version' take precedence on the other options.

243 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
244 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or
247 2010-09-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
249 * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years.
251 2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
253 Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
254 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
255 `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which

304 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
305 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
307 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
309 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
310 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
311 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in

316 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
318 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).

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

443 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
444 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
445 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
446 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.

458 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
459 and add a "FIXME" comment.
460 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch
461 `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.
462 * tests/pr279.test: Avoid obolescent constructs in the generated
463 `configure.in'; also, use the `configure.in' stub created by

493 * tests/condhook.test: Make sure target `install-data-hook' is
494 not called by `make install', but that data files are installed.
495 Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in. Add trailing `:' command.
496 * tests/condhook2.test: New test, sister test of condhook, with

799 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
800 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
801 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
802 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
803 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
804 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
806 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
807 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than

842 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
843 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of

887 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
889 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
890 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
891 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
892 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
895 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.

922 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
923 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with

966 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
967 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by

969 of Automake stderr slighty stricter.
970 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
971 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
972 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
973 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
975 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
976 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
977 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
978 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
979 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make

998 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
999 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1007 Automake stderr. Some unrelated cosmetic changes.
1009 Testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured stderr.
1010 * tests/acloca18.test: Print captured stderr before either failing
1011 or grepping it. Be sure to send captured stderr to stderr, not to

1025 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
1026 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
1028 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
1029 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1031 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.
1032 * tests/backsl.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and

1056 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1058 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1059 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1060 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1061 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1063 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1065 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1066 * bootstrap: Detemine what the PATH separator is the same way
1069 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
1070 * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
1071 improvement to comments.
1072 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1073 Prepend it to all error messages.
1075 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1076 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1077 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1078 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1079 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1080 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1082 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1084 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1085 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1086 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1087 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1088 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1089 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1090 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1091 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1092 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1093 These changes make some checks slighty stricter.
1094 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1095 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1096 rather than in the middle.
1097 * tests/exeext.test: Call `set -e' just after the inclusion of
1098 `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1099 * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.
1100 * tests/confdeps.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `mv -f' over
1101 plain `mv', just to be sure.
1102 * tests/depcomp.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1103 changes. Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
1104 * tests/cond9.test: Likewise. Also, rely on the `configure.in'

1108 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
1109 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
1110 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
1111 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1112 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1113 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1114 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1115 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
1116 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
1118 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1119 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeds unexpectedly.

1137 command substitution.
1138 * tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
1139 command substitution.
1140 * tests/version.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1141 in the generated `configure.in'.
1142 * tests/version2.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1143 in the generated `configure.in'.
1145 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1147 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
1148 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
1149 the verbose log contains all output.
1150 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
1151 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
1153 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1155 Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).

1165 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1167 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1168 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1169 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1170 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1171 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1172 known extension EXT.

1244 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1246 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1247 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1248 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1249 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
1250 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
1251 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
1252 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
1254 Report by Christina Gratorp.
1258 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1260 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1261 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1262 output produced by `make'.
1263 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1265 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1266 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1267 output produced by `make'.
1268 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
1269 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
1270 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1271 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1272 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1274 Improved test silent5.test.
1275 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1276 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1277 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1278 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1279 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1280 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1282 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1283 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1284 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1285 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1287 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
1288 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
1289 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1291 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
1292 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
1293 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1295 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1296 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1297 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1299 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1300 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1301 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1302 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
1303 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.

1309 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1311 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1312 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1313 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1314 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1316 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1317 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1318 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1319 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1320 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1321 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1322 dependencies are enabled.
1323 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1324 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1325 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1326 dependency tracking.
1327 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1328 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1329 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1331 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1333 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1334 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1335 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1336 Makefile.in slighty stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1337 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1339 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1341 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1342 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1343 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1344 double-quotes and backquotes.
1346 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1348 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1350 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1351 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1352 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1353 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1354 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1355 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1356 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1359 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1361 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1362 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1363 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1365 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1366 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1367 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1370 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1372 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1373 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1374 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1376 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1377 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1378 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1380 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1381 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1382 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1383 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1384 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1386 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1389 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1390 missing closing parenthesis.
1392 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1393 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1394 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1396 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1398 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1399 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1402 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1404 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1405 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1406 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1407 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1410 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1412 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1413 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1414 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1415 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1416 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1418 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1419 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1420 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1422 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1423 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1424 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1425 Also, bumped copyright years.
1427 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1429 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1430 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1431 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1433 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1434 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1435 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1436 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1438 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1440 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1441 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1442 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1443 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1444 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1445 cause the whole test to fail.
1447 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1449 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1450 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1451 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1453 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1455 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1456 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1457 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1458 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
1460 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1462 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
1463 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
1465 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
1466 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
1469 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1471 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1472 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1473 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1474 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1475 and unstable exit status values.
1476 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
1477 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
1478 $warnings_are_errors.
1479 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
1480 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1483 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1485 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1486 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
1487 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
1488 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1490 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
1491 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL

1513 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
1514 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
1515 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
1516 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
