3 testsuite: allow tests to avoid the use of 'parallel-tests' option
4 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Do not generate "siblings" for tests
5 that explicitly define the `parallel_tests', whether to "yes" or
6 to any other value. Extend heading comments to give a rationale
8 * tests/README: Update.
10 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
12 tests/README: update obsoleted advice
13 * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
14 Do not suggest to use the `*-p.test' pattern for the names of
15 hand-written tests which use the `parallel-tests' Automake option.
16 Not only is this not respected by the existing tests, but it is
17 more likely to cause conflicts with auto-generated tests.
18 So, suggest to *avoid* using the `*-p.test' pattern in names
19 of hand-written tests instead.
20 (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do not"): When
21 suggesting not to override Makefile variables using command
22 line arguments, do not use the badly outdated variables `U'
23 and 'ANSI2KNR' in the example; instead, use the more common
24 and typical `DESTDIR'.
26 2011-05-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
28 test defs: rename requirement 'non-cross' -> 'native'
29 * tests/defs.in (non-cross): Rename requirement ...
30 (native): ... to this, which is clearer and fits the
31 existing lingo better.
32 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
34 2011-05-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
36 testsuite: be more cross-compile friendly
37 * tests/defs.in (cross_compiling): New subroutine.
38 (am__tool_prefix): New internal variable.
39 (gcc, g++, gcj): Force the use of the correct "tool prefix"
41 (gfortran, g77, non-cross): New requirements.
43 2011-05-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
45 tests: fix spurious failure of txinfo21.test on FreeBSD
46 * tests/txinfo21.test: Use the `is_newest' subroutine instead of
47 the `ls -t' hack to to determine whether a file has been updated.
48 This is required because at least FreeBSD `ls' do not sort files
49 with the same timestamp in alphabetical order when using the `-t'
52 2011-05-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
54 tests defs: allow requirements for compilers (mostly dummy)
55 Most of the new requirements that are now accepted in `$required'
56 as consequence of this patch are still dummy. They are planned
57 to be implemented only in master (or in some derived branch), but
58 having them here (even just as no-op) will allow for an easier
59 integration/backporting of potential new testcases.
60 * tests/defs.in (cc, c++, fortran, fortran77): New requirements,
62 (flex): New requirement, picking LEX for configure.
63 (lex): New requirement, alias for `flex'. A more appropriate
64 implementation, looking for a generic `lex' program, will follow
66 (yacc): New requirement, alias for `bison'. A more appropriate
67 implementation, looking for a generic `yacc' program, will follow
70 2011-04-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
72 tests: fix spurious failure in a test on TESTS (VPATH-related)
73 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: When not using the
74 parallel-tests option, do not check that VPATH components are
75 not present in the displayed test name, since the simple-tests
76 driver do not try to strip them.
78 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
80 test: self check subroutines for skipping/failing of tests

88 * tests/defs.in (Exit): Move definition of this function earlier.
89 (warn_, skip_, fail_, framework_failure_): New functions, inspired
90 to the homonyms in gnulib's tests/init.sh.
91 ($stderr_fileno_): New global variable, used by the new functions
93 * tests/README: Updated.
94 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
96 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
98 tests: fix typo (copy & paste blunder) in heading comment
99 * tests/maintclean-vpath.test: Correctly refer to the sister test
100 as `maintclean.test', not as `maintclean-vpath.test'.
102 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
104 tests: remove redundant test `mclean.test'
105 * tests/mclean.test: Remove, it's a weak grepping test completely
106 superseded by the much more complete `maintclean.test'.
107 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
109 2011-04-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
111 testsuite: more environment sanitization
112 * tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if any of `parallel_tests'
113 or `required' is in the environment.
114 ($sed_unindent_prog): Initialize to empty, to avoid interferences
115 from the environment.
116 * tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: Renamed to ...
117 * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: ... this, and extended.
118 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
119 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variables `parallel_tests' and
120 `required'. Adjust comments.
122 2011-04-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
124 tests: don't allow `$me' to be overridden from the environment
125 * tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if $me is in the environment.
126 * tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: New test.
127 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variable `me'.
129 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
131 2011-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
133 test defs: allow overriding of `$me'
134 * tests/defs.in ($me): Allow overriding by the including test
135 script. Add some explicative comments.
137 2011-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
139 depcomp tests: don't reject slower dependency extractors
140 * tests/depcomp8b.test: Add the `--enable-dependency-tracking'
141 option to `configure' invocations, so that slower dependency
142 extractors are not rejected.
143 * tests/depcomp8a.test: Likewise. Also ...
144 (foo.c): ... since we are at it, fix spacing to be consistent
145 with GNU coding standards.

163 depcomp: correct invalid sed invocation
164 * lib/depcomp: Insert missing -e before '/:$/d'.
165 Otherwise, that use of sed would treat '/:$/d' as a file name.

169 maintainer check: quote literal `$' in Makefile rule
170 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_PATH_SEPARATOR): Escape literal `$'
171 character in double-quoted string. Fix a bug in which the rule

184 testcases checking distribution-related features.
185 * tests/pr9.test: Use it.

192 depcomp: fix bugs in tests and in the depcomp script
193 * lib/depcomp (gcc): Remove duplicated `-e' from sed invocation.
194 * tests/depcomp10.test: Make it executable. Fix a blunder that
195 has left part of an intended comment not prefixed by `#', thus
196 causing shell syntax errors. In this same comment, break a
197 too-long reported error message on multiple lines, for clarity.
198 Add reference to the relevant bug report. Add a comment which
199 explains why the test result 'skipped' if the first "make" call
200 fails. Add other useful comments.
201 * tests/depcomp9.test: Slightly improve comments.

215 test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
216 The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
217 cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does
218 print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
221 javac: no source files
222 Usage: javac <options> <source files>
224 Luckily, adding the `-help' option to the `javac' invocation
225 seems to fix this problem.
226 * tests/defs.in (javac): Pass also the `-help' option to the
227 `javac' program. Add a comment explaining why it is needed.
228 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
230 2011-04-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
232 test defs: new requirement for the default java compiler

260 Fix makedepend depmode for VPATH builds.
261 * lib/depcomp [makedepend]: Remove any VPATH prefix from the
262 object file name, so a rebuild doesn't attempt to update the
263 .Po files in the source tree.
264 * tests/depcomp9.test: New test.
265 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

317 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
319 2011-03-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
321 tests: fix unindent to use printf not echo for script.
322 * tests/defs.in: Use printf rather than echo, as the latter may
323 interpret the backslashes in the sed script. Fixes test
324 failures with dash as /bin/sh.

329 maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
330 The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
331 the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can
332 cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious
333 error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
334 builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').
335 See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a.
336 This change add a maintainer check that warns about test names
337 which are possibly problematic in this regard.
338 * Makefile.am (sc_test_names): New maintainer-check target.
339 (syntax_check_rules): Add it.
340 (m4_builtins): New helper variable.
341 (TESTS): Updated according to the following renamings.
342 * tests/include.test: Renamed ...
343 * tests/hdr-vars-defined-once.test: ... to this.
344 * tests/sinclude.test: Renamed ...
345 * tests/m4-inclusion.test: ... to this, and simplified
347 * tests/include2.test: Renamed ...

353 tests: fix bug in alloca*.test
354 * tests/alloca.test: Make grepping of automake stderr stricter,
355 add a trailing `:' command; also, add AC_PROG_CC to configure.in,
356 and create a dummy alloca.c file, to ensure that we fail for the
358 * tests/alloca2.test: Likewise. Also, look for LT_INIT, not
359 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, in the error message (bug introduced with commit
360 v1.11-315-gd51e7b7 "libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES

364 2011-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
366 tests: fix bug (comments-in-var-defn.test + autoconf 2.62)
367 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: The configure.in stub created
368 by default, which has the AC_INIT first argument obtained by the
369 test name, causes autoconf 2.62 to fail with a spurious error
370 message like: "configure.in:1: error: defn: undefined macro:".
371 Thus, to prevent this, the test is renamed to ...
372 * tests/comments-in-var-def.test: ... this.
373 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

386 test defs: unindent without temporary file
387 * tests/defs.in (commented_sed_unindent_prog): Commented Sed program
388 that strips the "proper" amount of leading whitespace.
389 (unindent): Lazily strip comments from the above program and use it
390 to unindent without using a temporary file.
392 2011-02-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
394 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
395 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
396 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
397 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
398 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
399 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
400 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
401 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
402 * tests/libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to
403 macro AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake
404 does not fail for the wrong reasons.
405 * tests/ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool
406 support works with LT_INIT-based interface.
407 Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.

411 tests: tempdirs with restrictive permissions are cleaned correctly
412 Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory
413 containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as
414 'r--r--r--') could fail.
415 * tests/defs: Ensure that all the subdirectories of a temporary
416 test directory have the 'read', 'write' and 'execute' bits set,
417 before trying to remove it with `rm -rf'.

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

530 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
531 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
532 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.

536 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
537 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components

546 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
547 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses

567 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
568 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
569 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
570 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.

581 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
582 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
583 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
584 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
585 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.

613 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
614 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
615 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
616 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
618 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
620 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
622 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
623 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to

658 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.

669 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
670 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
671 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
672 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
673 uselessly run it in a subshell.
674 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
675 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
676 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
678 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
680 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
681 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
682 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
683 Makefile.in stricter.
684 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
685 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
687 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
688 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
689 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
690 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
691 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
692 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
693 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
694 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
695 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
696 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
697 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
698 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
699 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
700 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
701 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
702 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
703 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
704 so they have been moved ...
705 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
706 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
707 trailing `:' command.
708 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
709 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
710 append to configure.in.
711 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
712 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
713 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
714 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
715 minor cosmetic improvements.
716 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
717 trailing `:' command.

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

888 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
889 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
890 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
891 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
892 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
893 tests that force gcc depmode.
894 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
895 * tests/silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...

1020 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
1021 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
1022 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
1023 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
1024 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
1025 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
1026 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
1027 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
1029 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1031 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
1032 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
1033 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
1034 are not part of the Automake API.
1036 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1038 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
1039 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
1040 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
1042 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1044 Rebuild menus in the manual.
1045 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
1046 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
1048 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
1049 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
1050 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
1051 to fix quoting issues.
1052 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
1053 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.
1055 2010-11-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1057 Fix yaccdry.test failure: require bison.
1058 * tests/yaccdry.test: Require bison.
1059 Found by NixOS Hydra.
1061 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1063 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
1064 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
1065 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
1066 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
1067 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
1068 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
1069 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
1070 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
1071 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1072 Reported by Andy Wingo.
1074 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1076 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
1077 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
1078 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
1079 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
1080 of test `vala2.test'.
1082 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1084 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
1085 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
1086 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
1088 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
1089 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
1090 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
1091 and header remaking.
1092 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
1093 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
1094 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
1095 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
1096 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
1098 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

1103 * doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
1104 (Introduction): Refer to it.
1106 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1108 Add support for newer python versions.
1109 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
1110 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
1111 line and fix indentation.
1113 From a report by Thomas Klausner.
1115 Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
1116 * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
1117 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1119 Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
1120 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
1121 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
1122 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
1123 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
1124 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
1125 please maintainer-check.
1126 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
1128 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1129 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1131 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
1132 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
1133 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
1134 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
1135 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
1136 * tests/help3.test: Likewise.
1137 * tests/help4.test: Likewise.
1139 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1142 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
1143 are expanded before rules.
1144 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
1145 get matched as a rule.
1146 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
1148 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1150 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
1151 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
1152 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

1167 2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1169 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
1170 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
1171 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
1172 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
1173 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
1174 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
1175 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1176 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
1177 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1178 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
1179 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
1180 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
1182 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
1184 2010-09-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1186 Testsuite: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when extending PATH.
1187 * tests/compile2.test: Do no uselessly (implicitly) repeat the
1188 computation of PATH_SEPARATOR again.
1189 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when
1190 extending/redefining PATH.

1209 2010-09-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1211 Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used.
1212 * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'
1213 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
1214 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
1215 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
1216 `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private

1226 Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".
1227 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's

1238 lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
1239 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
1240 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
1241 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or
1244 2010-09-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1251 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
1252 `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which
1253 seems to have been removed, substituted by multiple release
1256 2010-09-17 Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>

1294 2010-09-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1296 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
1297 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
1298 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
1299 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
1301 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
1302 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
1304 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1306 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
1307 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
1308 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
1310 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
1311 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
1312 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
1313 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
1315 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
1316 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
1317 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
1318 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
1319 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'
1320 and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.
1321 (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'.
1322 * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command.
1323 * tests/confh7.test: In comments, add reference to ...
1324 * tests/confh8.test: ... this new test, "semantic" sister

1352 to avoid producing a configure script that breaks with shells
1353 that do not support $LINENO. Also throw in a couple of cosmetic
1356 2010-08-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1358 Improve robustness of mdate-sh script.
1359 * lib/mdate-sh: Sanitize zsh behavior on startup, to ensure
1360 $ls_command is word-split properly upon invocation.
1361 (error): New function.
1362 (main): Use it. Improve error checking to avoid endless loop
1363 in case $ls_command gave bogus output. Fix eval quotation.

1377 Docs: clarify how to avoid automatic dependencies tracking.
1378 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that
1379 automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that

1384 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Fix typo.
1386 2010-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>

1393 Tweak and/or extend some `acloca*.test' tests.
1394 * tests/aclocal8.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured
1396 * tests/aclocal.test: Likewise. Also, add trailing `:'
1398 * tests/acloca19.test: Likewise.
1399 * tests/aclocal5.test: Add trailing `:' command, and prefer
1400 `$me' over hard-coded test name.
1401 * tests/aclocal6.test: Likewise.
1402 * tests/aclocal18.test: Add trailing `:' command, and make
1403 some grepping slightly stricter.
1404 * tests/acloca14.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `diff' over
1405 `cmp', and add some "cosmetic" blank lines.
1407 2010-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1409 Tweak and extend tests `pr[!0-9]*.test'.
1410 * tests/primary3.test: Add trailing `:' command.

1436 Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.
1437 * tests/pr224.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1438 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
1439 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
1440 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
1441 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
1442 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
1443 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.
1444 * tests/pr72.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
1445 changes. Extend existing checks a bit.
1446 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise. Also, avoid obsolescent constructs in

1454 `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1455 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
1456 and add a "FIXME" comment.
1457 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch
1458 `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.
1459 * tests/pr279.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
1460 `configure.in'; also, use the `configure.in' stub created by
1461 ./defs, rather than writing it from scratch. Enable `errexit'
1462 shell flag, and related changes. Add trailing `:' command.
1463 * tests/pr279-2.test: Likewise, and make grepping of Makefile.in
1465 * tests/pr307.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1466 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Escape literal
1467 dots in grep regular expressions. Also, add a trailing `:'
1468 command, and cosmetic changes to spacing.
1470 Tests for PR: add excerpts from original bug report, for clarity.

1485 2010-08-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1487 Tweak, extend and improve tests `cond[a-z]*.test'.
1488 * tests/condd.test: Add trailing `:' command. Typofix in

1635 (configure.in): Use the stub created by `./defs', rather than
1636 writing it from scratch, and avoid obsolescent constructs.

1638 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1639 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1640 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1641 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1642 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.

1764 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1765 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.

1795 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1796 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1797 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1798 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1799 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1800 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1801 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1803 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1804 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than

1859 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1860 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1861 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1863 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1865 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause

1878 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1879 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1880 declaration, to please compilers.
1882 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1884 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1885 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1886 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",

1889 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1892 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.

1918 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1919 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1920 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with

1968 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1969 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1970 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1972 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1973 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1974 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1975 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1976 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1977 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
1978 * tests/substre2.test: Ensure verbose printing of the captured
1979 make's output, and make its grepping slightly stricter.

1987 Modernize, improve and/or fix tests `pluseq*.test.
1988 * tests/pluseq5.test: Append to configure.in using cat with an
1989 here-doc, not using echo.
1990 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1991 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1992 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1993 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1995 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1996 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

2023 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
2025 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
2026 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
2028 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.
2029 * tests/backsl.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and

2053 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2055 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
2056 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
2057 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
2058 test scripts can indeed be useful.
2060 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2062 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
2063 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way
2066 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
2067 * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
2068 improvement to comments.
2069 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
2070 Prepend it to all error messages.
2072 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
2073 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
2074 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
2075 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
2076 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
2077 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
2079 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2081 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
2082 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
2083 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
2084 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
2085 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
2086 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
2087 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
2088 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
2089 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
2090 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
2091 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
2092 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
2093 rather than in the middle.
2094 * tests/exeext.test: Call `set -e' just after the inclusion of
2095 `./defs', instead that later in the script.
2096 * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.

2105 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
2106 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
2107 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
2108 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
2109 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
2110 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
2111 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
2112 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
2113 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
2115 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
2116 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

2140 in the generated `configure.in'.
2142 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2144 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
2145 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
2146 the verbose log contains all output.
2147 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
2148 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
2150 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2152 Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).

2162 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2164 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
2165 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
2166 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
2167 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
2168 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
2169 known extension EXT.
2171 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

2241 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2243 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
2244 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
2245 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
2246 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
2247 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
2248 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
2249 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
2251 Report by Christina Gratorp.
2255 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2257 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
2258 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
2259 output produced by `make'.
2260 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
2262 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
2263 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the

2266 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
2267 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
2268 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
2269 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
2271 Improved test silent5.test.
2272 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
2273 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
2274 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
2275 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
2276 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
2277 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
2279 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
2280 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
2281 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
2282 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2284 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
2285 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
2286 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2288 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
2289 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
2290 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2292 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
2293 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
2294 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2296 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
2297 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
2298 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
2299 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
2300 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.

2306 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2308 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
2309 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
2310 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
2311 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
2313 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
2314 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
2315 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
2316 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
2317 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
2318 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
2319 dependencies are enabled.
2320 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
2321 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
2322 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
2323 dependency tracking.
2324 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2325 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2326 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
2328 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2330 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
2331 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
2332 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
2333 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
2334 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
2336 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2338 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
2339 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
2340 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
2341 double-quotes and backquotes.
2343 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
2345 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2347 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
2348 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
2349 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
2350 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
2351 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
2352 eliminate such inconsistencies.
2353 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
2356 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2358 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
2359 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
2360 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
2362 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
2363 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
2364 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
2367 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2369 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2370 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2371 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2373 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
2374 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
2375 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
2377 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2378 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
2379 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
2380 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
2381 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
2383 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2386 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
2387 missing closing parenthesis.
2389 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
2390 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2391 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2393 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2395 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2396 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2399 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2401 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2402 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2403 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2404 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2407 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2409 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2410 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2411 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2412 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2413 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2415 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2416 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2417 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2419 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2420 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2421 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2422 Also, bumped copyright years.
2424 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2426 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2427 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2428 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2430 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2431 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2432 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2433 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2435 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2437 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2438 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2439 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2440 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2441 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2442 cause the whole test to fail.
2444 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2446 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2447 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2448 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2450 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2452 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.

2468 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2469 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2470 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2471 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2472 and unstable exit status values.

2474 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2475 $warnings_are_errors.

2483 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2484 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2485 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2487 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2488 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2489 succeds unexpectedly.

2505 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2506 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2507 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2510 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2511 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2512 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2513 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2516 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2518 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
