3 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
4 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
5 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
7 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
9 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
10 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
11 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
12 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
13 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
14 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

19 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
20 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
21 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
22 parallel-tests driver.

26 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.
27 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Remove a previously existing
28 conftest.dir before recreating it.

34 tests: avoid failure on w32 file systems.
35 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: SKIP if file cannot
38 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
40 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
41 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
42 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
43 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
45 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
47 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test
48 * tests/cond36.test ($required): Remove.

54 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
55 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
56 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
57 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
58 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
59 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
62 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
64 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
66 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
67 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
68 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
70 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
72 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
73 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
74 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
75 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
76 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
77 Report by Stefano Lattarini.

86 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
87 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
88 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
89 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
91 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
93 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
95 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
96 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
97 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
98 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.

100 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
101 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.

128 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL
129 * tests/txinfo5b.test: New test, like txinfo5.test but calling
130 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
131 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
132 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.
133 * tests/Makefile.am (TEST): Updated.

138 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typo.
140 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
142 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
143 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
144 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
145 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
146 uselessly run it in a subshell.
147 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
148 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
149 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
151 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
153 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
154 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
155 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
156 Makefile.in stricter.
157 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
158 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
160 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
161 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
162 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
163 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
164 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
165 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
166 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
167 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
168 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
169 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
170 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
171 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
172 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
173 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
174 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
175 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
176 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
177 so they have been moved ...
178 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
179 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
180 trailing `:' command.
181 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
182 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
183 append to configure.in.
184 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
185 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
186 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
187 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
188 minor cosmetic improvements.
189 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
190 trailing `:' command.
191 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
192 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.

216 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
217 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to

219 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
220 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.

304 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".

306 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
307 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
308 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
309 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
310 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:

361 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
362 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
363 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
364 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
365 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
366 tests that force gcc depmode.
367 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
368 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
369 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
370 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
372 * silentlex.test: Test removed, its content split into ...

484 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
485 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
486 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.

493 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
494 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
495 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
496 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
497 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
498 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
499 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various

511 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
512 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
513 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
515 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
517 Rebuild menus in the manual.

536 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
537 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
538 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
539 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
540 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
541 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
542 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
543 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
544 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

562 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
563 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
565 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
566 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
567 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of

595 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
596 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
597 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to

602 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
604 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
605 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
606 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',

642 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
643 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
644 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
645 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
646 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
647 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.

649 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
650 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
651 `--version' take precedence on the other options.

713 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
714 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or

777 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
779 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
780 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
781 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in

784 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
785 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
786 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
788 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).

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

914 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
915 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.

964 not called by `make install', but that data files are installed.
965 Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in. Add trailing `:' command.
966 * tests/condhook2.test: New test, sister test of condhook, with

1018 disabled test (which didn't work with autoconf <= 2.59, but now we
1019 are requiring autoconf 2.62, so...)
1020 * tests/conflnk4.test: Cosmetic changes, and extend existing tests
1021 accordingly to "TODO" comments.
1022 * tests/conff2.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
1023 Add some comments explaining why we don't use the `configure.in'
1024 stub preset be ./defs.
1025 * tests/confh.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by ./defs,
1026 rather than writing one from scratch, and do not call AC_OUTPUT.
1027 Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related changes. Prefer diff over
1028 cmp to compare text files. Prefer perl over sed to fetch the value
1029 of $(DIST_COMMON) from Makefile.in. Make grepping of the contents

1052 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
1053 Add a trailing `:' command.
1054 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1055 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
1056 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1057 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1058 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
1059 trailing `:' command.
1060 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in
1061 grep regexps. Always use `: >' rather than `touch' to create empty

1076 explanatory comments to it.
1077 * tests/depcomp7.test: Likewise, and add a trailing `:' command.
1079 Separate failing part of test `all.test'.
1080 * tests/all.test: Keep only (x)failing part of the test. Working

1103 * tests/subobj6.test: Add trailing `:' command. Move setting of
1104 `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion
1105 of ./defs). Do not create useless dummy ac-init file `f'.
1106 * tests/subobj7.test: Do not create useless dummy ac-init file
1108 (configure.in): Use the stub created by `./defs', rather than
1109 writing it from scratch, and avoid obsolescent constructs.
1110 * tests/subobj9.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1111 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1112 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1113 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1114 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1115 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1116 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1131 * bootstrap: Do not remove `lib/Automake/Config.pm' anymore,
1132 since we don't generate it. Correctly quote arguments of
1133 `eval' builtin. Fixed a botched error message. Removed an
1136 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1137 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1138 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1140 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.
1141 * bootstrap ($AUTOCONF): New variable, from the environment.
1142 ($AUTOM4TE): Likewise, for clarity.

1198 variable, rather than re-evaluating the shell expression for
1200 * tests/cond40.test: Extend test.
1203 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1204 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1212 2010-07-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1214 Modernize and improve test scripts `subdir*.test'.
1215 * tests/subdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1216 changes. Use the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs',

1219 * tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
1220 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1221 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1222 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
1223 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1224 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1225 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1226 `subdir5.test' here).
1227 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.
1228 * tests/subdir9.test: Define and use new variable `$distdir'. Add
1229 trailing `:' command.

1231 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
1232 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
1233 it from scratch. Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
1234 autoconf/automake macros.
1236 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1237 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1238 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1239 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
1240 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
1241 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
1242 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a
1243 trailing `:' command. Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister

1261 writing it from scratch. Avoid obsoleted constructs. Remove
1262 useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.
1263 * tests/distdir.test: Various minor improvements/normalizations.
1264 * tests/distlinks.test: Likewise.
1266 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1268 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1269 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1270 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1271 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1272 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1273 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1274 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1276 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1277 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1278 writing one from scratch.

1290 home page and GNU general help page.
1291 * automake.in (usage): Likewise.
1292 * doc/automake.texi: New flag PACKAGE_BUGREPORT, to factor email
1294 (Introduction, Creating amhello, amhello Explained, Options):
1296 * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute
1298 * lib/Automake/Config.in ($PACKAGE_BUGREPORT): New global.

1312 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1313 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1314 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1315 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1316 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1317 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1318 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use
1319 of `foreign' option in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.

1330 2010-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1332 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1333 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1334 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1336 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1338 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1339 `make dist' to fail.

1350 * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
1351 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1352 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1353 declaration, to please compilers.
1355 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1357 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1358 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1359 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1360 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1361 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1362 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1365 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1366 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1367 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1368 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1370 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.

1387 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1388 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1389 changes. Also, do not redirect grep output to /dev/null, as this
1390 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1391 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1392 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1393 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1394 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1395 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1396 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.

1413 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1414 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1416 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
1417 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the

1428 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1429 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
1431 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1432 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.

1436 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1437 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1438 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1439 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1440 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1441 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1442 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1443 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1445 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1446 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1447 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1448 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1449 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1450 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
1451 * tests/substre2.test: Ensure verbose printing of the captured
1452 make's output, and make its grepping slightly stricter.

1465 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1466 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1468 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1469 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1480 * tests/acloca18.test: Print captured stderr before either failing
1481 or grepping it. Be sure to send captured stderr to stderr, not to

1494 * tests/subobj.test: Likewise.
1495 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
1496 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
1498 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
1499 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1501 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.
1502 * tests/backsl.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and

1509 * tests/condlib.test: Likewise.
1510 * tests/cond15.test: Likewise, and prefer $FGREP over grep.
1511 * tests/canon3.test: Likewise. Also, avoid to create an useless
1513 * tests/acoutpt2.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and some
1514 related changes. Do some cosmetic improvements in the generated
1515 `configure.in' file.

1517 * tests/cond14.test: Likewise.
1518 * tests/condinc.test: Likewise.
1519 * tests/cond7.test: Likewise. Also, remove useless setting of
1520 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am.
1521 * tests/ansi.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1522 changes. Extended, esp. by running autoconf, ./configure and
1523 make, and by looking into the distdir.

1526 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1528 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1529 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1530 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1531 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1533 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1535 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1536 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way
1539 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
1540 * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
1541 improvement to comments.
1542 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1543 Prepend it to all error messages.
1545 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1546 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1547 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1548 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1549 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1550 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1552 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1554 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1555 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1556 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1557 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1558 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1559 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1560 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1561 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1562 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1563 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1564 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1565 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1566 rather than in the middle.
1567 * tests/exeext.test: Call `set -e' just after the inclusion of
1568 `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1569 * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.
1570 * tests/confdeps.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `mv -f' over
1571 plain `mv', just to be sure.
1572 * tests/depcomp.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1573 changes. Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
1574 * tests/cond9.test: Likewise. Also, rely on the `configure.in'
1575 stub created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.

1577 * tests/depcomp2.test: Likewise.
1578 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
1579 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
1580 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
1581 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1582 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1583 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1584 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1585 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
1586 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
1588 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1589 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1607 command substitution.
1608 * tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
1609 command substitution.
1610 * tests/version.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1611 in the generated `configure.in'.
1612 * tests/version2.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1613 in the generated `configure.in'.
1615 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1617 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
1618 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
1619 the verbose log contains all output.
1620 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
1621 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
1623 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1625 Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).

1635 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1637 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1638 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1639 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1640 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1641 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1642 known extension EXT.
1644 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1714 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1716 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1717 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1718 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1719 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
1720 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
1721 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
1722 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
1724 Report by Christina Gratorp.
1728 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1730 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1731 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1732 output produced by `make'.
1733 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1735 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1736 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the

1738 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
1739 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
1740 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1741 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1742 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1744 Improved test silent5.test.
1745 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1746 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1747 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1748 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1749 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1750 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1752 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1753 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1754 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1755 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1757 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
1758 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
1759 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1761 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
1762 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
1763 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1765 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1766 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1767 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1769 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1770 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1771 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1772 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
1773 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.

1779 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1781 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1782 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1783 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1784 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1786 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1787 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1788 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1789 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1790 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1791 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1792 dependencies are enabled.
1793 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1794 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1795 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1796 dependency tracking.
1797 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1798 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1799 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1801 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1803 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1804 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1805 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1806 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1807 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1809 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1811 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1812 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1813 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1814 double-quotes and backquotes.
1816 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1818 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1820 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1821 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1822 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1823 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1824 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1825 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1826 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1829 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1831 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1832 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1833 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1835 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1836 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1837 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1840 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1842 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1843 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1844 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1846 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1847 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1848 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1850 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1851 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1852 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1853 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1854 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1856 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1859 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1860 missing closing parenthesis.
1862 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1863 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1864 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1866 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1868 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1869 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1872 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1874 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1875 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1876 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1877 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1880 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1882 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1883 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1884 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1885 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1886 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1888 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1889 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1890 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1892 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1893 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1894 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1895 Also, bumped copyright years.
1897 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1899 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1900 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1901 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1903 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1904 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1905 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1906 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1908 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1910 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1911 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1912 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1913 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1914 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1915 cause the whole test to fail.
1917 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1919 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1920 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1921 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1923 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1925 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1926 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1927 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1928 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
1930 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1932 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
1933 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
1935 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
1936 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
1939 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1941 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1942 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1943 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1944 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1945 and unstable exit status values.
1946 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
1947 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
1948 $warnings_are_errors.
1949 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
1950 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1953 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1955 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1956 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
1957 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
1958 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1960 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
1961 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
1962 succeds unexpectedly.
1964 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
1965 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
1966 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1967 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
1969 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1971 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
