28 yacc: update NEWS and docs about yacc-generated headers extensions
29 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Document explicitly that
30 extensions of yacc-generated headers are modelled after the
31 extension of the corresponding sources.
34 2011-01-28 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
36 yacc: extension of headers modelled after extension of sources
37 With this change, if '-d' is in *YFLAGS, a yacc input file named
38 foo.y++ will cause a foo.h++ header to be generated, instead of a
39 foo.h header. Similarly for foo.ypp, foo.yxx and foo.yy.
40 This way, the name of the files generated by an automake-created
41 `ylwrap' invocation should be consistent with those generated by
43 Related to automake bug#7648 and PR automake/491.
44 * lib/am/yacc.am (am__yacc_c2h): New internal variable.
45 (?GENERIC?%EXT%%DERIVED-EXT%, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%): Get the name of
46 the header dynamically at make runtime, so that its extension is
47 modelled after the extension of the source.
48 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Adjust the calculation of
49 `$header' accordingly.

60 tests: don't define YACC and LEX in the Makefiles
61 We don't want YACC and LEX defined as make variables, otherwise
62 the values determined at configure time will override those from
63 the environment, even in the make-spawned testcases. For example,
64 before this change, with the following usage:
65 $ ./configure YACC=yacc
66 $ export YACC='bison -y'
68 the testsuite would have ended up, very counterintuitively, with
69 YACC defined to 'yacc' in the testcases' environment.
70 * configure.ac: Call `AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE' on YACC and LEX.
72 2011-01-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
74 tests: fix spurious failures in lflags*.test

88 * tests/silent-yacc-gcc.test, tests/silent-yacc-generic.test: Merge
89 these two testcases into ...
90 * tests/silent-yacc.test: ... this new one, which doesn't fiddle
91 which dependency tracking, as that shouldn't impact on generation
92 of yacc-derived C source and header files (and, for what concerns
93 compilation of C files, is already tested in other testcases).
94 * tests/silent-lex-gcc.test, tests/silent-lex-generic.test: Merge
95 these two testcases into ...
96 * tests/silent-lex.test: ... this new test, for similar reasons.

102 tests init: better messages for 'yacc' and 'lex' requirements
103 * tests/defs.in: Give better diagnostic messages when a test must
104 be skipped to the unavailability of yacc or lex program. Also,
105 improve syncing between code for requiring yacc and lex.
107 2011-01-28 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

111 with vendor/legacy lex implementations, not only with 'flex'.

128 configure: look for a yacc program to be used by the testsuite
129 Instead of forcing the user to manually export 'YACC' in the
130 testsuite to use a non-bison yacc, we now look for a yacc program
131 at configure time, and use that as the default in the testsuite.
132 * configure.ac: Look for a yacc program, using AC_CHECK_PROGS.
133 * tests/defs.in: Updated to use the value of $YACC precomputed by
134 configure, unless the user overrides that in the environment.

211 This change fixes automake bug#7804.

282 useless lex source file.
283 * tests/lex2.test: Likewise. Call automake with the `-a' option,
284 so that it doesn't fail for the absence of `ylwrap' script. Make
285 grepping of automake stderr stricter.

287 shell flag earlier (just after having sourced ./defs).

319 yacc: "make clean" removes .c and .h files from non-distributed .y
320 Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
321 files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources, it still caused
322 them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
323 simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
324 This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
325 those generated .c and .h files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES
327 This change fixes this issue, by making non-distributed `.c' and
328 `.h' files generated by non-distributed Yacc sources cleaned by
330 * tests/automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Make C source and
331 header files derived from non-distributed Yacc files cleaned by

341 * tests/depcomp10.test: Make it executable. Fix a blunder that
342 has left part of an intended comment not prefixed by `#', thus
343 causing shell syntax errors. In this same comment, break a
344 too-long reported error message on multiple lines, for clarity.
345 Add reference to the relevant bug report. Add a comment which
346 explains why the test result 'skipped' if the first "make" call
347 fails. Add other useful comments.
348 * tests/depcomp9.test: Slightly improve comments.

362 test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
363 The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
364 cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does
365 print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
368 javac: no source files
369 Usage: javac <options> <source files>
371 Luckily, adding the `-help' option to the `javac' invocation
372 seems to fix this problem.

374 `javac' program. Add a comment explaining why it is needed.

476 maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
477 The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
478 the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can
479 cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious
480 error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
481 builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').

503 and create a dummy alloca.c file, to ensure that we fail for the
505 * tests/alloca2.test: Likewise. Also, look for LT_INIT, not
506 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, in the error message (bug introduced with commit

513 tests: fix bug (comments-in-var-defn.test + autoconf 2.62)
514 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: The configure.in stub created
515 by default, which has the AC_INIT first argument obtained by the
516 test name, causes autoconf 2.62 to fail with a spurious error
517 message like: "configure.in:1: error: defn: undefined macro:".
518 Thus, to prevent this, the test is renamed to ...
519 * tests/comments-in-var-def.test: ... this.
520 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

533 test defs: unindent without temporary file
534 * tests/defs.in (commented_sed_unindent_prog): Commented Sed program
535 that strips the "proper" amount of leading whitespace.
536 (unindent): Lazily strip comments from the above program and use it
537 to unindent without using a temporary file.
539 2011-02-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
541 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
542 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
543 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
544 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
545 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
546 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
547 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
548 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
549 * libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to macro
550 AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does
551 not fail for the wrong reasons.
552 * ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool support
553 works with LT_INIT-based interface.
554 Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.

558 tests: tempdirs with restrictive permissions are cleaned correctly
559 Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory
560 containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as
561 'r--r--r--') could fail.
562 * tests/defs: Ensure that all the subdirectories of a temporary
563 test directory have the 'read', 'write' and 'execute' bits set,
564 before trying to remove it with `rm -rf'.

620 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
621 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
622 activated when it should.

626 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
627 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test

667 up its internal memory when copying this tree.

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

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

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

834 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
835 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
836 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
837 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
838 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
839 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
840 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).

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

854 trailing `:' command.

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

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

978 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
979 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
980 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
981 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
982 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
983 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
984 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:

1035 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
1036 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
1037 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
1038 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
1039 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
1040 tests that force gcc depmode.
1041 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
1042 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
1043 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
1044 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

1129 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
1130 supposed to perform.
1132 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
1133 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and

1155 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
1156 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
1157 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
1158 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
1159 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
1160 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
1161 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
1162 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
1165 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1167 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
1168 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
1169 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
1170 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
1171 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
1172 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
1173 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
1174 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
1176 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1178 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
1179 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
1180 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
1181 are not part of the Automake API.
1183 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1185 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
1186 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case

1191 Rebuild menus in the manual.

1193 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
1195 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
1196 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
1197 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
1198 to fix quoting issues.
1199 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
1200 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.

1208 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1210 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
1211 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
1212 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
1213 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
1214 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
1215 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
1216 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
1217 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
1218 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1219 Reported by Andy Wingo.

1223 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
1224 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
1225 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
1226 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
1227 of test `vala2.test'.
1229 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1231 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
1232 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
1233 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
1235 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
1236 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
1237 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
1238 and header remaking.
1239 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
1240 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
1241 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
1242 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
1243 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:

1267 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
1268 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
1269 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
1270 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
1271 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to

1276 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1278 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
1279 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
1280 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
1281 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.

1290 are expanded before rules.
1291 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
1292 get matched as a rule.
1293 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.

1298 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,

1316 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
1317 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
1318 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
1319 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
1320 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
1321 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.

1360 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
1361 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
1362 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion

1453 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
1454 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent

1460 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
1462 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).

1587 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
1588 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
1589 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
1590 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.

1656 a useless dummy file. Add trailing `:' command.
1657 * tests/colon4.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and
1658 related changes. Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by

1692 disabled test (which didn't work with autoconf <= 2.59, but now we
1693 are requiring autoconf 2.62, so...)
1694 * tests/conflnk4.test: Cosmetic changes, and extend existing tests
1695 accordingly to "TODO" comments.
1696 * tests/conff2.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.

1727 Add a trailing `:' command.
1728 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1729 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an

1785 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1786 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1787 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1788 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".

1893 * tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
1894 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1895 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1896 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
1897 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1898 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1899 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1900 `subdir5.test' here).
1901 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.

1908 autoconf/automake macros.
1910 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1911 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1912 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1913 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
1914 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
1915 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.

1930 test Makefile.am files. Add a trailing `:' command.
1931 * tests/distname.test: Prefer `gzip -d' over `gunzip'. Move the
1932 call to `set -e' earlier. Be stricter and more verbose in the
1933 checking of the generated tarball.
1934 (configure.in): Use the stub provided by ./defs, instead of
1935 writing it from scratch. Avoid obsoleted constructs. Remove
1936 useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.

1940 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1942 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1943 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1944 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1945 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1946 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1947 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1948 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1950 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1951 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1952 writing one from scratch.

2066 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
2067 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
2068 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
2069 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
2070 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
2071 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the

2087 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
2088 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.

2120 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
2121 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

2139 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
2140 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
2142 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
2143 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

2222 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
2223 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
2224 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.

2313 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
2314 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
2315 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
2316 known extension EXT.

2431 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
2432 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
2433 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2435 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
2436 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
2437 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2439 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
2440 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
2441 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2443 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
2444 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
2445 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
2446 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
2447 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
2448 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
2449 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
2450 * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
2451 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
2453 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2455 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
2456 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
2457 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
2458 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
2460 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
2461 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
2462 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
2463 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
2464 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
2465 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
2466 dependencies are enabled.
2467 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
2468 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
2469 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
2470 dependency tracking.
2471 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2472 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2473 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
2475 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2477 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
2478 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
2479 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
2480 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
2481 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
2483 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2485 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
2486 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
2487 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
2488 double-quotes and backquotes.
2490 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
2492 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2494 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
2495 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
2496 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
2497 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
2498 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
2499 eliminate such inconsistencies.
2500 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
2503 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2505 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
2506 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
2507 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
2509 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
2510 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
2511 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
2514 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2516 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2517 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2518 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2520 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
2521 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
2522 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
2524 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2525 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
2526 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
2527 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
2528 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
2530 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2533 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
2534 missing closing parenthesis.
2536 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
2537 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2538 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2540 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2542 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2543 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2546 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2548 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2549 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2550 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2551 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2554 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2556 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2557 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2558 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2559 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2560 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2562 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2563 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2564 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2566 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2567 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2568 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2569 Also, bumped copyright years.
2571 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2573 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2574 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2575 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2577 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2578 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2579 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2580 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2582 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2584 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2585 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2586 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2587 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2588 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2589 cause the whole test to fail.
2591 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2593 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2594 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2595 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2597 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2599 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2600 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2601 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2602 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2604 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2606 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2607 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2609 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2610 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2613 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2615 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2616 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2617 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2618 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2619 and unstable exit status values.
2620 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2621 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2622 $warnings_are_errors.
2623 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2624 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2627 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2629 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2630 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2631 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2632 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2634 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2635 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2636 succeds unexpectedly.
2638 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2639 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2640 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2641 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2643 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2645 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2646 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2647 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2648 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2650 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2652 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2653 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2654 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2657 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2658 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2659 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2660 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2663 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2665 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2666 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2667 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2668 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2670 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2672 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2673 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2676 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2678 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2679 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2680 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2681 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2682 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2684 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2685 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2687 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2688 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2689 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2690 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2691 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2692 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2693 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2694 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2696 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2698 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2699 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
2700 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
2701 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.

2708 * tests/parallel-tests10.test: Likewise.
2709 * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"):
2710 Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
2711 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
2712 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
2714 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2716 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
2717 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
2718 already unset in the `defs' file.
2719 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
2720 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.

2733 Improve help message of mdate-sh.
2734 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
2736 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2738 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2739 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2740 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2742 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
2744 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2746 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
2747 * tests/extra10.test: New test, check basic support of wildcards
2749 * tests/extra11.test: New test, check more complex usage of
2750 wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
2751 * tests/extra12.test: New test, check usage of wildcards in
2752 EXTRA_DIST when $builddir != $srcdir.
2753 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2754 Necessity of these new tests suggested by Braden McDaniel
2755 and Ralf Wildenhues.

2765 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
2766 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
2767 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to
2769 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_pre): Use `exit 143' in signal handler.
2770 * lib/elisp-comp: Likewise.
2771 * lib/install-sh: Likewise.
2772 * lib/ylwrap: Likewise. Also, fix script to trap signal 13, not 3.

2789 Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
2790 * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
2791 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
2792 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
2794 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
2796 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
2797 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls
2798 to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and remove explicit definition of
2799 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
2800 Updated copyright years.
2801 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
2803 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
2804 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the
2805 filesystem, which were erroneously left out from $(TESTS):
2806 acoutbs2.test, badopt.test, extra2.test.
2807 (XFAIL_TESTS): Added acoutbs2.test.
