3 py-compile: '--' and non-option arguments terminate the option list
4 * lib/py-compile: Any non-option argument, or the special `--'
5 argument, now explicitly terminates the list of options.
6 * tests/py-compile-option-terminate.test: New test.
7 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
10 2011-06-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
12 py-compile: complain on unrecognized options
13 * lib/py-compile: Complain on unrecognized options. Don't be too
14 lax in matching `--help' and `--version' options.
15 * tests/py-compile-usage.test: Extend accordingly.
18 2011-06-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
20 py-compile: normalize error and help messages
21 * lib/py-compile: Now error messages do not begin with a capital
22 letter, nor end with a period, as per GNU standards. Prepend the
23 error messages with the name of the script, not with its path.
24 When an invalid usage is recognized, always display the customary
25 message "Try `py-compile --help' ..." on a line of its own.
26 ($me): New variable, containing the name of the
27 program, i.e., `py-compile'. Use it throughout.
28 (usage_error): New function, used to display error messages about
30 * tests/py-compile-usage.test: Extend and tighten accordingly.
32 2011-06-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
34 python tests: add "unit tests" on py-compile
35 * tests/py-compile-basic.test: New test.
36 * tests/py-compile-basic2.test: New test.
37 * tests/py-compile-basedir.test: Likewise.
38 * tests/py-compile-destdir.test: Likewise.
39 * tests/py-compile-env.test: Likewise.
40 * tests/py-compile-usage.test: Likewise.
41 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
42 Tested with python 2.0.1, 2.4.6, 2.6.6, 2.7.1, and 3.1.3.
44 2011-06-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
46 py-compile: the '--destdir' option now accepts a blank argument
47 * lib/py-compile (Option parsing): Do not count an empty argument
48 to `--destdir' or `--basedir' as a missing argument.
49 * lib/python.am: Simplify accordingly, passing the `--destdir'
50 option to py-compile unconditionally, even if `$(DESTDIR)' is
54 2011-06-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
56 python: run the 'py-compile' script with $(SHELL)
57 * lib/python.am (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Run each instance of
58 py-compile using $(SHELL). Since we are at it, break overly
60 (am__py_compile): New variable, to reduce code duplication.
62 2011-06-02 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
64 maintcheck: fix some failures, extend some checks
65 * Makefile.am (sc_diff_automake_in_automake): Update, as we
66 now expect 9 lines, not 8, to be changed from `automake.in'
68 (sc_diff_aclocal_in_aclocal): New maintainer check, similar to
69 the above, and checking that only 10 lines are changed from
70 `aclocal.in' to `aclocal'.
71 (syntax_check_rules): Update.
72 (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Exempt self tests `self-check-*.test'
73 from this check, as they can legitimately use the bare `exit'
74 builtin in various places.
75 * doc/automake.texi (Python): Remove stray `@' from the end of
76 a line. Typo introduced in commit `v1.11-312-g5bf7af6'.
77 * tests/depcomp8a.test: Pass DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to make
78 from the environment rather than from the command line, to
79 pacify the `sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline' maintainer
81 * tests/depcomp8b.test: Likewise.
83 2011-05-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
85 remake: behave better with non-GNU make in subdirectories
86 Currently, with every decent make program, it is possible to
87 rebuild out-of-date autotools-generated files with a simple
88 "make Makefile" -- but for this to work reliably with non-GNU
89 make implementations, the command must be issued from the
90 top-level directory. This patch removes such limitation.
91 * lib/am/configure.am (am--refresh): Depend on `%MAKEFILE%'.
92 * tests/defs.in (using_gmake): New function, backported from the
93 `master' branch (and simplified).
94 * tests/remake-subdir.test: New test.
95 * tests/remake-subdir2.test: Likewise.
96 * tests/remake-subdir-gnu.test: Likewise.
97 * tests/remake-subdir-from-subdir.test: Likewise.
98 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
100 2011-05-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
102 automake, aclocal: honour configure-time AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE
103 Currently, the Automake's own configure script allow definition
104 of AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE, expected to point respectively to an
105 autoconf and autom4te programs. But while these definitions are
106 honoured in the Automake's build systems and test suite, they
107 were *not* honoured in the generated `automake' and `aclocal'
108 scripts. This behaviour, apart from being wrong in that it does
109 not allow the user enough freedom in choosing his tools, also
110 caused inconsistencies in the test suite, brining to spurious
112 Problem reported by Graham Reitz on the automake list; see thread:
113 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-05/msg00022.html>
114 * automake.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOCONF', not simply `autoconf'.
115 * aclocal.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOM4TE', not simply `autom4te'.
116 * Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute also `@am_AUTOCONF' and
121 2011-05-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
123 build: the user can override AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE too
124 Our build system allows the user to override AUTOCONF and AUTOHEADER
125 at configure time, and honours these overrides in our testsuite.
126 But it didn't do the same with AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE.
127 This change fixes that inconsistency.
128 * configure.ac (am_AUTOM4TE, am_AUTOUPDATE, am_AUTORECONF): New
129 AC_SUBSTitutions. Update comments.
130 * tests/defs.in ($AUTOUPDATE): Default to `@am_AUTOUPDATE@' now.
131 ($AUTOM4TE): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTOM4TE@'.
132 ($AUTORECONF): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTORECONF@'.
133 * doc/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): Update.
135 2011-05-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
136 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
138 tests/README: fix example about `make -e' usage
139 * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"): When
140 some variable is never initialized in the Makefile, `-e' is not
141 necessary in order to override it. DESTDIR is such a variable: we
142 ensure that we do not ever initialize it. And as such, it is quite
144 $ make DESTDIR=/foo/bar install
145 and in fact, quite widely used.
146 So our example about when `make -e' is required, which references
147 the `DESTDIR' variable, is poorly chosen, if not downright wrong.
148 Rewrite it to use `prefix' as the overridden variable instead.
150 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
152 testsuite: avoid re-running few tests with 'parallel-tests' option
153 Some tests in our testsuite use the 'simple-tests' driver only
154 marginally, or simply as a mean to conveniently check unrelated
155 invariants. It makes little sense to force these tests to also
156 run with the 'parallel-tests' Automake option active, as doing so
157 offers no real gain in coverage, while often causing a measurable
158 overhead in execution time (for an already too-slow testsuite).
159 * tests/pr401.test (parallel_tests): Define to "no", to prevent
160 the generation of a sibling test script using the 'parallel-tests'
162 * tests/pr401b.test: Likewise.
163 * tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
165 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
167 testsuite: allow tests to avoid the use of 'parallel-tests' option
168 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Do not generate "siblings" for tests
169 that explicitly define the `parallel_tests', whether to "yes" or
170 to any other value. Extend heading comments to give a rationale
172 * tests/README: Update.
174 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
176 tests/README: update obsoleted advice
177 * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
178 Do not suggest to use the `*-p.test' pattern for the names of
179 hand-written tests which use the `parallel-tests' Automake option.
180 Not only is this not respected by the existing tests, but it is
181 more likely to cause conflicts with auto-generated tests.
182 So, suggest to *avoid* using the `*-p.test' pattern in names
183 of hand-written tests instead.
184 (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do not"): When
185 suggesting not to override Makefile variables using command
186 line arguments, do not use the badly outdated variables `U'
187 and 'ANSI2KNR' in the example; instead, use the more common
188 and typical `DESTDIR'.
190 2011-05-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
192 test defs: rename requirement 'non-cross' -> 'native'
193 * tests/defs.in (non-cross): Rename requirement ...
194 (native): ... to this, which is clearer and fits the
195 existing lingo better.
196 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
198 2011-05-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
200 testsuite: be more cross-compile friendly
201 * tests/defs.in (cross_compiling): New subroutine.
202 (am__tool_prefix): New internal variable.
203 (gcc, g++, gcj): Force the use of the correct "tool prefix"
204 when cross compiling.
205 (gfortran, g77, non-cross): New requirements.
207 2011-05-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
209 tests: fix spurious failure of txinfo21.test on FreeBSD
210 * tests/txinfo21.test: Use the `is_newest' subroutine instead of
211 the `ls -t' hack to to determine whether a file has been updated.
212 This is required because at least FreeBSD `ls' do not sort files
213 with the same timestamp in alphabetical order when using the `-t'
216 2011-05-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
218 tests defs: allow requirements for compilers (mostly dummy)
219 Most of the new requirements that are now accepted in `$required'
220 as consequence of this patch are still dummy. They are planned
221 to be implemented only in master (or in some derived branch), but
222 having them here (even just as no-op) will allow for an easier
223 integration/backporting of potential new testcases.
224 * tests/defs.in (cc, c++, fortran, fortran77): New requirements,
226 (flex): New requirement, picking LEX for configure.
227 (lex): New requirement, alias for `flex'. A more appropriate
228 implementation, looking for a generic `lex' program, will follow
230 (yacc): New requirement, alias for `bison'. A more appropriate
231 implementation, looking for a generic `yacc' program, will follow
234 2011-04-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
236 tests: fix spurious failure in a test on TESTS (VPATH-related)
237 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: When not using the
238 parallel-tests option, do not check that VPATH components are
239 not present in the displayed test name, since the simple-tests
240 driver do not try to strip them.
242 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
244 test: self check subroutines for skipping/failing of tests
245 * tests/self-check-report.test: New test.

249 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
251 test defs: new subroutines for test skipping/failing
252 * tests/defs.in (Exit): Move definition of this function earlier.
253 (warn_, skip_, fail_, framework_failure_): New functions, inspired
254 to the homonyms in gnulib's tests/init.sh.
255 ($stderr_fileno_): New global variable, used by the new functions
257 * tests/README: Updated.
258 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
260 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
262 tests: fix typo (copy & paste blunder) in heading comment
263 * tests/maintclean-vpath.test: Correctly refer to the sister test
264 as `maintclean.test', not as `maintclean-vpath.test'.
266 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
268 tests: remove redundant test `mclean.test'
269 * tests/mclean.test: Remove, it's a weak grepping test completely
270 superseded by the much more complete `maintclean.test'.
271 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
273 2011-04-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
275 testsuite: more environment sanitization
276 * tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if any of `parallel_tests'
277 or `required' is in the environment.
278 ($sed_unindent_prog): Initialize to empty, to avoid interferences
279 from the environment.
280 * tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: Renamed to ...
281 * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: ... this, and extended.
282 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
283 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variables `parallel_tests' and
284 `required'. Adjust comments.
286 2011-04-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
288 tests: don't allow `$me' to be overridden from the environment
289 * tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if $me is in the environment.
290 * tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: New test.
291 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variable `me'.
293 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
295 2011-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
297 test defs: allow overriding of `$me'
298 * tests/defs.in ($me): Allow overriding by the including test
299 script. Add some explicative comments.
301 2011-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
303 depcomp tests: don't reject slower dependency extractors
304 * tests/depcomp8b.test: Add the `--enable-dependency-tracking'
305 option to `configure' invocations, so that slower dependency
306 extractors are not rejected.
307 * tests/depcomp8a.test: Likewise. Also ...
308 (foo.c): ... since we are at it, fix spacing to be consistent
309 with GNU coding standards.

379 test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
380 The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
381 cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does
382 print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
385 javac: no source files
386 Usage: javac <options> <source files>
388 Luckily, adding the `-help' option to the `javac' invocation
389 seems to fix this problem.
390 * tests/defs.in (javac): Pass also the `-help' option to the
391 `javac' program. Add a comment explaining why it is needed.
392 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.

493 maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
494 The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
495 the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can
496 cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious
497 error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
498 builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').
499 See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a.
500 This change add a maintainer check that warns about test names
501 which are possibly problematic in this regard.
502 * Makefile.am (sc_test_names): New maintainer-check target.
503 (syntax_check_rules): Add it.
504 (m4_builtins): New helper variable.

517 tests: fix bug in alloca*.test
518 * tests/alloca.test: Make grepping of automake stderr stricter,
519 add a trailing `:' command; also, add AC_PROG_CC to configure.in,
520 and create a dummy alloca.c file, to ensure that we fail for the
522 * tests/alloca2.test: Likewise. Also, look for LT_INIT, not
523 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, in the error message (bug introduced with commit

530 tests: fix bug (comments-in-var-defn.test + autoconf 2.62)
531 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: The configure.in stub created
532 by default, which has the AC_INIT first argument obtained by the
533 test name, causes autoconf 2.62 to fail with a spurious error
534 message like: "configure.in:1: error: defn: undefined macro:".
535 Thus, to prevent this, the test is renamed to ...
536 * tests/comments-in-var-def.test: ... this.
537 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

550 test defs: unindent without temporary file
551 * tests/defs.in (commented_sed_unindent_prog): Commented Sed program
552 that strips the "proper" amount of leading whitespace.
553 (unindent): Lazily strip comments from the above program and use it
554 to unindent without using a temporary file.
556 2011-02-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
558 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
559 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
560 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
561 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
562 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
563 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
564 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
565 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
566 * tests/libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to
567 macro AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake
568 does not fail for the wrong reasons.
569 * tests/ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool
570 support works with LT_INIT-based interface.
571 Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.

575 tests: tempdirs with restrictive permissions are cleaned correctly
576 Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory
577 containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as
578 'r--r--r--') could fail.
579 * tests/defs: Ensure that all the subdirectories of a temporary
580 test directory have the 'read', 'write' and 'execute' bits set,
581 before trying to remove it with `rm -rf'.

635 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
636 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
637 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
638 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
639 activated when it should.

643 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
644 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
645 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
646 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
647 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.

681 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
682 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial

684 up its internal memory when copying this tree.

694 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.

700 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
701 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
702 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
703 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
704 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
705 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

745 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
746 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):

833 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
834 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
835 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
836 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
837 uselessly run it in a subshell.

849 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
851 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
852 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
853 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
854 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
855 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
856 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
857 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
858 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.

861 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
862 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
863 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
864 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
865 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
866 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
867 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
868 so they have been moved ...
869 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.

871 trailing `:' command.

877 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
878 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
879 minor cosmetic improvements.

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

997 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
998 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
999 all the expected error messages. This should work around make

1009 Fix sed-related buglet in test "subdir5.test"
1010 * tests/subdir5.test: Always terminate text passed to the
1011 `i' sed command with a newline, to work around limitations
1012 in e.g. older OpenBSD sed.
1014 2010-12-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1016 docs: fix blunder in example about python extension modules
1017 * doc/automake.texi (Python): Use `quaternion_la_SOURCES',
1018 not `quaternion_SOURCES', to declare the sources of python
1019 extension module `quaternion.la'.
1021 2010-12-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1023 docs: list LTLIBRARIES among Automake primaries

1029 Improve tests on generated portions of configure help screen.
1030 * tests/help-depend.test: Grepping of configure help screen
1031 relaxed to cater for possible line wrapping, and tightened in

1043 2010-12-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1045 Avoid running installed automake from 'libtool --help'.
1046 * tests/subobj9.test: Export AUTOCONF and AUTOMAKE.
1047 Together with fixed Libtool, this fixes check-coverage to not
1048 invoke installed automake.
1050 2010-11-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1052 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
1053 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
1054 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
1055 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
1056 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
1057 tests that force gcc depmode.
1058 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
1059 * tests/silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
1060 * tests/silent-many-generic.test, tests/silent-many-gcc.test: ...
1061 these new sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode
1062 and lists "gcc" in $required.
1063 * tests/silentlex.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
1064 * tests/silent-lex-generic.test, tests/silent-lex-gcc.test: ...
1065 these new sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode
1066 and lists "gcc" in $required.
1067 * tests/silentyacc.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
1068 * tests/silent-yacc-generic.test, tests/silent-yacc-gcc.test: ...
1069 these new sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and
1070 lists "gcc" in $required.
1071 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
1073 2010-11-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1075 Tests: consistently use "|| Exit 1" after ". ./defs".
1076 * tests/autohdr.test: Use `. ./defs || Exit 1', not bare
1077 `. ./defs', for consistency with other tests.

1133 2010-11-19 Ian Lance Taylor <iant@google.com>
1135 Sync config-ml.in from GCC.
1136 * config-ml.in: Add Go support: treat GOC and GOCFLAGS like other
1137 compiler/flag environment variables.
1139 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1141 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
1142 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
1144 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
1145 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
1146 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
1147 supposed to perform.
1149 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
1150 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
1151 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both
1154 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1156 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
1157 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
1158 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to
1159 avoid spurious failures. Add a trailing `:' command.
1160 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1162 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1164 Fix spurious failures of silent5.test with Sun Fortran.
1165 * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
1166 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,
1167 to avoid spurious failures. This bug has been there from the
1168 very first version of this test script.
1170 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1172 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
1173 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
1174 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
1175 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
1176 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
1177 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
1178 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
1179 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
1182 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1184 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
1185 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
1186 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
1187 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
1188 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
1189 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
1190 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
1191 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
1193 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1195 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
1196 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
1197 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
1198 are not part of the Automake API.
1200 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1202 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
1203 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
1204 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
1206 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1208 Rebuild menus in the manual.
1209 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
1210 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
1212 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
1213 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
1214 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
1215 to fix quoting issues.
1216 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
1217 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.
1219 2010-11-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1221 Fix yaccdry.test failure: require bison.
1222 * tests/yaccdry.test: Require bison.
1223 Found by NixOS Hydra.
1225 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1227 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
1228 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
1229 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
1230 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
1231 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
1232 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
1233 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
1234 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
1235 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1236 Reported by Andy Wingo.
1238 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1240 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
1241 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
1242 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
1243 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
1244 of test `vala2.test'.
1246 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1248 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
1249 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
1250 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
1252 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
1253 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
1254 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
1255 and header remaking.
1256 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
1257 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
1258 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
1259 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
1260 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
1262 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1264 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1270 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1272 Add support for newer python versions.
1273 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
1274 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
1275 line and fix indentation.
1277 From a report by Thomas Klausner.
1279 Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
1280 * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
1281 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1283 Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
1284 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
1285 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
1286 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
1287 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
1288 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
1289 please maintainer-check.
1290 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
1292 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1293 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1295 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
1296 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
1297 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
1298 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
1299 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
1300 * tests/help3.test: Likewise.
1301 * tests/help4.test: Likewise.
1303 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1305 Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
1306 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
1307 are expanded before rules.
1308 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
1309 get matched as a rule.
1310 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
1312 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1314 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
1315 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
1316 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.
1318 2010-09-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1320 parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue.
1321 * automake.in (handle_tests): New argument $makefile, new
1322 substitution %MAKEFILE%.
1323 (generate_makefile): Adjust.
1324 * lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (check-TESTS): Pass
1325 sanitized TEST_LOGS value as makefile snippet on standard
1326 input to $(MAKE), to avoid exceeding the command line limit on
1329 Report by Bob Friesenhahn.
1331 2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1333 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
1334 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
1335 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
1336 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
1337 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
1338 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
1339 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1340 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
1341 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1342 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
1343 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
1344 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
1346 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
1348 2010-09-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1350 Testsuite: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when extending PATH.
1351 * tests/compile2.test: Do no uselessly (implicitly) repeat the
1352 computation of PATH_SEPARATOR again.
1353 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when
1354 extending/redefining PATH.

1368 * tests/defs.in ($APIVERSION): New AC_SUBST'd variable.
1369 ($ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE): Use it.
1370 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): New AC_SUBST'd variables.
1373 2010-09-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1375 Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used.
1376 * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'
1377 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
1378 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
1379 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
1380 `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private
1382 (missing and AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Try to be more agnostic w.r.t.
1383 the version control system used.
1385 Manual: index refer to target "git-dist", not "cvs-dist".
1386 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Index the non-standard
1387 example about "git-dist" under the "git-dist" label, not under
1390 Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".
1391 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's
1392 git repository" rather than to "Automake's CVS repository".
1393 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Likewise.

1395 * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.
1396 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm: Likewise.
1397 * lib/Automake/Version.pm (=head1 DESCRIPTION): Refer to "git

1402 lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
1403 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
1404 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
1405 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or
1408 2010-09-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1410 * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years.
1412 2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1414 Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
1415 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
1416 `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which
1417 seems to have been removed, substituted by multiple release
1420 2010-09-17 Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
1422 Avoid triple-space after period.

1450 2010-09-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1452 * tests/README: Don't put GCS mandated tools in $required.
1454 2010-09-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1456 * HACKING: Hint at old commits with `git describe' output.
1458 2010-09-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1460 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
1461 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
1462 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
1463 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
1465 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
1466 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
1468 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1470 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
1471 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
1472 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
1474 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
1475 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
1476 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
1477 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
1479 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
1480 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
1481 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
1482 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
1483 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'

1957 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1959 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1960 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1961 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1962 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1963 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1964 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1965 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1967 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1968 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1969 writing one from scratch.

2003 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
2004 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
2005 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
2006 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
2007 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.

2023 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
2024 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
2025 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
2027 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2029 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause

2042 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
2043 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
2044 declaration, to please compilers.

2048 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
2049 $(FLAGS) precedence.
2050 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",

2081 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
2082 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
2083 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
2084 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
2085 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
2086 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
2087 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
2088 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the
2089 env(1) utility, and make grepping of make output stricter by using
2090 $FGREP rather than plain grep.

2101 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
2103 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
2104 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
2105 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
2107 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.

2123 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
2124 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
2125 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.

2130 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
2131 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
2132 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
2133 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
2134 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
2136 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
2137 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
2138 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
2139 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
2140 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
2141 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

2156 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
2157 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
2159 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
2160 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

2217 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2219 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
2220 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
2221 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in

2224 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2226 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.

2237 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
2238 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
2239 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
2240 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
2241 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.

2329 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
2330 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
2331 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
2332 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
2333 known extension EXT.

2437 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
2438 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
2439 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
2440 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
2441 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
2443 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
2444 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
2445 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
2446 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2448 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
2449 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
2450 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2452 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
2453 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
2454 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2456 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
2457 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
2458 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2460 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
2461 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
2462 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
2463 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
2464 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
2465 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
2466 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
2467 * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
2468 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
2470 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2472 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
2473 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
2474 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
2475 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
2477 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
2478 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
2479 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
2480 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
2481 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
2482 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
2483 dependencies are enabled.
2484 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
2485 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
2486 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
2487 dependency tracking.
2488 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2489 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2490 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
2492 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2494 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
2495 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
2496 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
2497 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
2498 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
2500 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2502 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
2503 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
2504 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
2505 double-quotes and backquotes.
2507 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
2509 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2511 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
2512 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
2513 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
2514 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
2515 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
2516 eliminate such inconsistencies.
2517 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
2520 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2522 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
2523 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
2524 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
2526 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
2527 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
2528 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
2531 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2533 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2534 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2535 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2537 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
2538 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
2539 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
2541 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2542 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
2543 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
2544 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
2545 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
2547 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2550 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
2551 missing closing parenthesis.
2553 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
2554 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2555 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2557 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2559 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2560 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2563 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2565 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2566 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2567 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2568 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2571 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2573 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2574 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2575 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2576 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2577 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2579 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2580 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2581 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2583 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2584 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2585 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2586 Also, bumped copyright years.
2588 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2590 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2591 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2592 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2594 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2595 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2596 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2597 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2599 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2601 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2602 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2603 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2604 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2605 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2606 cause the whole test to fail.
2608 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2610 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2611 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2612 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2614 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2616 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2617 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2618 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2619 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2621 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2623 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2624 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2626 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2627 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2630 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2632 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2633 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2634 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2635 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2636 and unstable exit status values.
2637 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2638 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2639 $warnings_are_errors.
2640 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2641 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2644 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2646 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2647 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2648 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2649 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2651 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2652 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2653 succeds unexpectedly.
2655 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2656 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2657 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2658 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2660 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2662 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2663 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2664 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2665 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2667 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2669 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2670 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2671 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2674 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2675 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2676 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2677 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2680 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2682 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2683 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2684 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2685 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2687 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2689 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2690 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2693 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2695 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2696 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2697 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2698 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2699 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2701 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2702 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2704 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2705 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2706 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2707 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2708 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2709 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2710 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2711 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2713 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2715 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2716 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
2717 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
2718 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
2719 * tests/parallel-tests4.test: Likewise.

2725 * tests/parallel-tests10.test: Likewise.
2726 * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"):
2727 Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
2728 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
2729 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
2731 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2733 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
2734 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
2735 already unset in the `defs' file.
2736 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
2737 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.
2738 * tests/check9.test: Likewise.

2748 2010-02-22 Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>
2750 Improve help message of mdate-sh.
2751 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
2753 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2755 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2756 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2757 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2759 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
2761 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2763 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
2764 * tests/extra10.test: New test, check basic support of wildcards
2766 * tests/extra11.test: New test, check more complex usage of
2767 wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.

2782 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
2783 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
2784 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to
2786 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_pre): Use `exit 143' in signal handler.
2787 * lib/elisp-comp: Likewise.
2788 * lib/install-sh: Likewise.
2789 * lib/ylwrap: Likewise. Also, fix script to trap signal 13, not 3.

2806 Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
2807 * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
2808 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
2809 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
2811 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
2813 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
2814 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls
2815 to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and remove explicit definition of
2816 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
2817 Updated copyright years.
2818 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
2820 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
2821 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the
2822 filesystem, which were erroneously left out from $(TESTS):
2823 acoutbs2.test, badopt.test, extra2.test.
2824 (XFAIL_TESTS): Added acoutbs2.test.
2826 2010-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
