1 2011-01-09 Dave Hart <davehart@gmail.com> (tiny change)
3 Fix another typo in Rule.pm comment.
4 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typo.
6 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
8 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
9 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
10 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
11 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
12 uselessly run it in a subshell.
13 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
14 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
15 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
17 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
19 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
20 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
21 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
23 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
24 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
26 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
27 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
28 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
29 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
30 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
31 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
32 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
33 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
34 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
35 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
36 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
37 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
38 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
39 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
40 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
41 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
42 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
43 so they have been moved ...
44 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
45 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
47 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
48 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
49 append to configure.in.
50 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
51 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
52 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
53 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
54 minor cosmetic improvements.
55 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
57 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
58 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.
59 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

78 * automake.in: Some minor fixes and enhancements in comments.
80 2011-01-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
82 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
83 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to
84 also check for the deleted header bug. If no dependency
85 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
86 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.
88 Fix typos in Rule.pm comments.
89 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typos in comments.
91 docs: split 'amhello Explained' node.
92 * doc/automake.texi (amhello Explained): Split node ...
93 (amhello's configure.ac Setup Explained)
94 (amhello's Makefile.am Setup Explained) : ... into these two.
95 (Top, Hello World): Adjust, and add @anchor for stable URL links.
96 Suggestion by Karl Berry in automake bug#7766.
98 2011-01-08 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
99 Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
101 docs: reference defining directories in amhello node.
102 * doc/automake.texi (amhello Explained): Point to Autoconf
103 manual for how to convert directory values into macros.
104 (Optional): Fix grammar nit.
106 2011-01-02 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
108 * NEWS: Fix typo (forgotten word).
110 2011-01-02 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
111 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
113 docs: how to work around checks on invalid primary/directory couples
114 * doc/automake.texi (Uniform): Document the blessed idiom which can
115 be used to work around automake checks on invalid primary/directory
116 couples (such as `lib_PROGRAMS' or `doc_LIBRARIES').
118 2011-01-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
120 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
121 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
124 Fix maintainer-check regression.
125 * tests/subobj11a.test: Pass DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS in the
128 Bump copyright years.
129 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal, version): Bump copyright years.
130 * automake.in (gen_copyright, version): Likewise.
131 * doc/automake.texi: Likewise.
133 2010-12-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
134 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
136 Work around a bug in file-inclusion mechanism of Solaris make.
137 * automake.in (handle_single_transform): In the name of the
138 dependency file: collapse multiple slash characters into a single
140 * tests/subobj11a.test: New test.
141 * tests/subobj11b.test: Likewise.
142 * tests/subobj11c.test: Likewise.
143 * tests/depcomp8a.test: Likewise.
144 * tests/depcomp8b.test: Likewise.
145 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
147 Report by Stefano Lattarini, quick fix by Ralf Wildenhues, final
148 patch and tests by Stefano Lattarini.
150 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
152 Fix two spurious testsuite failures on IRIX 6.5.
153 * tests/suffix13.test (Makefile.am): Account for VPATH issues on
154 weaker make implementations (e.g. IRIX 6.5).
155 * tests/parallel-tests8.test: Likewise, plus a required related
157 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues. The bugs have been there from the
158 first versions of the affected test scripts.
160 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
162 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
163 * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
164 the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
165 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
166 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
168 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
170 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
171 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
172 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
173 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
174 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
175 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
176 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
177 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",
178 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-11/msg00162.html>

182 2010-12-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
184 Fix sed-related buglet in test "subdir5.test"
185 * tests/subdir5.test: Always terminate text passed to the
186 `i' sed command with a newline, to work around limitations
187 in e.g. older OpenBSD sed.
189 2010-12-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
191 docs: fix blunder in example about python extension modules
192 * doc/automake.texi (Python): Use `quaternion_la_SOURCES',
193 not `quaternion_SOURCES', to declare the sources of python
194 extension module `quaternion.la'.
196 2010-12-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
198 docs: list LTLIBRARIES among Automake primaries
199 * doc/automake.texi (Uniform): List `LTLIBRARIES' among
200 the Automake primaries.
202 2010-12-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
204 Improve tests on generated portions of configure help screen.
205 * tests/help-depend.test: Grepping of configure help screen
206 relaxed to cater for possible line wrapping, and tightened in
208 * tests/help-depend2.test: Likewise.
209 * tests/help-dmalloc.test: Likewise.
210 * tests/help-lispdir.test: Likewise.

218 2010-12-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
220 Avoid running installed automake from 'libtool --help'.
221 * tests/subobj9.test: Export AUTOCONF and AUTOMAKE.
222 Together with fixed Libtool, this fixes check-coverage to not
223 invoke installed automake.
225 2010-11-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
227 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
228 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
229 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
230 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
231 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
232 tests that force gcc depmode.
233 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
234 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
235 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
236 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
238 * silentlex.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
239 * silent-lex-generic.test, silent-lex-gcc.test: ... these new
240 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
242 * silentyacc.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
243 * silent-yacc-generic.test, silent-yacc-gcc.test: ... these new
244 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
246 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
248 2010-11-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
250 Tests: consistently use "|| Exit 1" after ". ./defs".
251 * tests/autohdr.test: Use `. ./defs || Exit 1', not bare
252 `. ./defs', for consistency with other tests.

308 2010-11-19 Ian Lance Taylor <iant@google.com>
310 Sync config-ml.in from GCC.

312 compiler/flag environment variables.
314 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
316 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
317 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
319 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
320 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
321 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
324 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
325 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
326 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both
329 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
331 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
332 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
333 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to
334 avoid spurious failures. Add a trailing `:' command.
335 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
337 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
339 Fix spurious failures of silent5.test with Sun Fortran.
340 * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
341 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,
342 to avoid spurious failures. This bug has been there from the
343 very first version of this test script.
345 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
347 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
348 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
349 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
350 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
351 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
352 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
353 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
354 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
357 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
359 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
360 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
361 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
362 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
363 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
364 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
365 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
366 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
368 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
370 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
371 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
372 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
373 are not part of the Automake API.
375 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
377 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
378 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
379 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
381 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
383 Rebuild menus in the manual.
384 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
385 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
387 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
388 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
389 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
390 to fix quoting issues.
391 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
392 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.
394 2010-11-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
396 Fix yaccdry.test failure: require bison.
397 * tests/yaccdry.test: Require bison.
398 Found by NixOS Hydra.
400 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
402 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
403 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
404 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
405 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
406 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
407 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
408 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
409 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
410 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
411 Reported by Andy Wingo.
413 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
415 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
416 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
417 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
418 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
419 of test `vala2.test'.
421 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
423 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
424 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
425 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
427 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
428 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
429 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
431 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
432 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
433 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
434 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
435 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
437 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
439 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
441 Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.
442 * doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
443 (Introduction): Refer to it.
445 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
447 Add support for newer python versions.
448 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
449 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
450 line and fix indentation.
452 From a report by Thomas Klausner.
454 Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
455 * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
456 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
458 Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
459 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
460 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
461 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
462 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
463 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
464 please maintainer-check.
465 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
467 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
468 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
470 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
471 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
472 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
473 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
474 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
475 * tests/help3.test: Likewise.
476 * tests/help4.test: Likewise.
478 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
480 Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
481 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
482 are expanded before rules.
483 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
484 get matched as a rule.
485 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
487 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
489 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
490 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
491 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.
493 2010-09-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
495 parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue.
496 * automake.in (handle_tests): New argument $makefile, new
497 substitution %MAKEFILE%.
498 (generate_makefile): Adjust.
499 * lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (check-TESTS): Pass
500 sanitized TEST_LOGS value as makefile snippet on standard
501 input to $(MAKE), to avoid exceeding the command line limit on
504 Report by Bob Friesenhahn.
506 2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
508 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
509 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
510 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal

997 * bootstrap: Do not remove `lib/Automake/Config.pm' anymore,
998 since we don't generate it. Correctly quote arguments of
999 `eval' builtin. Fixed a botched error message. Removed an
1002 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1003 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1004 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1006 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.
1007 * bootstrap ($AUTOCONF): New variable, from the environment.
1008 ($AUTOM4TE): Likewise, for clarity.
1009 Use "$AUTOCONF" instead of calling "autoconf" directly.
1011 Minor improvements to tests ar*.test.
1012 * tests/ar.test: Add trailing `:' command.
1013 * tests/ar2.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
1014 Makefile.in stricter.

1018 Fix maintainer-check failure.
1019 * tests/cond5.test: Quote sleep argument, this isn't about

1058 Document current policy for development with git.
1059 * HACKING (Working with git): Overhaul.
1060 Prompted by suggestion from Stefano Lattarini.
1062 Fix AM_COND_IF for gone-invalid condition shell expression.
1063 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): test contents of $COND_TRUE
1064 variable, rather than re-evaluating the shell expression for
1066 * tests/cond40.test: Extend test.
1069 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1070 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty
1071 to avoid shell syntax error if the m4 expansion is empty.
1072 * tests/cond40.test: Enhance test.
1074 Coverage: bogus option to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
1075 * tests/init2.test: New test.
1076 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1078 2010-07-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1080 Modernize and improve test scripts `subdir*.test'.
1081 * tests/subdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1082 changes. Use the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs',
1083 rather than writing one from scratch.
1084 * tests/subdir2.test: Likewise.
1085 * tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
1086 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1087 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1088 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
1089 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1090 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1091 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1092 `subdir5.test' here).
1093 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.
1094 * tests/subdir9.test: Define and use new variable `$distdir'. Add
1095 trailing `:' command.
1096 * tests/subdir10.test: Cosmetic consistency-related change.
1097 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
1098 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
1099 it from scratch. Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
1100 autoconf/automake macros.
1102 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1103 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1104 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1105 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
1106 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
1107 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
1108 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a
1109 trailing `:' command. Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister
1111 * tests/distcom6.test: Likewise, and avoid to uselessly run

1117 Makefile.am as `.PHONY'. Display content of more files, to ease
1118 debugging. Add trailing `:' command.

1122 test Makefile.am files. Add a trailing `:' command.
1123 * tests/distname.test: Prefer `gzip -d' over `gunzip'. Move the
1124 call to `set -e' earlier. Be stricter and more verbose in the
1125 checking of the generated tarball.
1126 (configure.in): Use the stub provided by ./defs, instead of
1127 writing it from scratch. Avoid obsoleted constructs. Remove
1128 useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.
1129 * tests/distdir.test: Various minor improvements/normalizations.
1130 * tests/distlinks.test: Likewise.
1132 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1134 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1135 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1136 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1137 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1138 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1139 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1140 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1142 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1143 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1144 writing one from scratch.
1146 2010-06-26 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1148 Update program --help output to match current GCS.

1150 is not defined, for compatibility to Autoconf < 2.64.
1151 * Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute PACKAGE_BUGREPORT and
1153 (sc_diff_automake_in_automake): Update number of diff lines for
1154 additional substitutions.

1156 home page and GNU general help page.
1157 * automake.in (usage): Likewise.
1158 * doc/automake.texi: New flag PACKAGE_BUGREPORT, to factor email
1160 (Introduction, Creating amhello, amhello Explained, Options):
1162 * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute
1164 * lib/Automake/Config.in ($PACKAGE_BUGREPORT): New global.
1165 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Use it for footer of fatal

1175 * tests/silent5.test: Use $EGREP, not $GREP (which is not even
1178 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1179 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1180 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1181 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1182 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1183 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1184 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use
1185 of `foreign' option in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.

1193 * tests/lex5.test ($required): Do not list "gzip", as it's
1196 2010-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1198 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1199 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1200 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1202 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1204 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1205 `make dist' to fail.

1216 * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
1217 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1218 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1219 declaration, to please compilers.
1221 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1223 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1224 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1225 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1226 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1227 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1228 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1231 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1232 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1233 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1234 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1236 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
1237 * tests/yflags.test: New test, check that user $(YFLAGS) takes

1253 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1254 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1255 changes. Also, do not redirect grep output to /dev/null, as this
1256 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1257 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1258 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1259 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1260 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1261 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1262 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
1263 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the
1264 env(1) utility, and make grepping of make output stricter by using
1265 $FGREP rather than plain grep.

1276 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1278 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1279 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1280 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1282 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
1283 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the
1284 definition of this variable.

1290 for the FOOTEST conditional.
1292 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1294 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1295 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
1297 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1298 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1299 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
1300 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
1301 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
1302 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1303 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by

1305 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1306 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1307 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1308 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1309 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1311 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1312 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1313 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1314 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1315 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1316 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
1317 * tests/substre2.test: Ensure verbose printing of the captured
1318 make's output, and make its grepping slightly stricter.

1328 here-doc, not using echo.
1329 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1330 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1331 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1332 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1334 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1335 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1364 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
1365 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1367 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.

1392 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1394 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1395 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1396 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1397 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1399 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1401 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1402 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way

1407 improvement to comments.
1408 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1409 Prepend it to all error messages.
1411 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1412 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1413 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1414 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1415 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1416 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1418 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1420 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1421 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1422 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.

1424 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1425 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1426 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1427 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1428 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1429 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1430 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1431 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,

1447 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1448 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1449 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1450 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1451 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.

1454 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1455 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1503 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1504 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1505 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1506 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1507 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1508 known extension EXT.

1594 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1596 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1597 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1598 output produced by `make'.
1599 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1601 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1602 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1603 output produced by `make'.
1604 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
1605 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
1606 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1607 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1608 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1610 Improved test silent5.test.
1611 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1612 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1613 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1614 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1615 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1616 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1618 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1619 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1620 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1621 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1623 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
1624 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
1625 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1627 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).

1629 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1631 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1632 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1633 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1635 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1636 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1637 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1638 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).

1645 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1647 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1648 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1649 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1650 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1652 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1653 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1654 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1655 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1656 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1657 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1658 dependencies are enabled.
1659 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1660 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1661 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1662 dependency tracking.
1663 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1664 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1665 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1667 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1669 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1670 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1671 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1672 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1673 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1675 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1677 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1678 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1679 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1680 double-quotes and backquotes.
1682 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1684 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1686 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1687 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1688 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1689 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1690 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1691 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1692 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1695 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1697 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1698 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1699 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1701 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1702 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1703 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1706 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1708 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1709 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1710 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1712 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1713 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1714 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1716 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1717 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1718 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1719 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1720 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1722 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1725 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1726 missing closing parenthesis.
1728 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1729 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1730 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1732 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1734 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1735 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1738 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1740 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1741 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1742 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1743 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1746 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1748 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1749 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1750 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1751 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1752 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1754 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1755 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1756 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1758 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1759 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1760 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1761 Also, bumped copyright years.
1763 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1765 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1766 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1767 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1769 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1770 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1771 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1772 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1774 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1776 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1777 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1778 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1779 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1780 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1781 cause the whole test to fail.
1783 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1785 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1786 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1787 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1789 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1791 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1792 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1793 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1794 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
1796 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1798 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
1799 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
1801 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
1802 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
1805 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1807 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1808 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1809 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1810 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1811 and unstable exit status values.
1812 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
1813 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
1814 $warnings_are_errors.
1815 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
1816 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1819 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1821 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1822 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
1823 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
1824 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1826 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
1827 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
1828 succeds unexpectedly.
1830 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
1831 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
1832 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1833 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
1835 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1837 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
1838 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
1839 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1840 Report by Pavel Sanda.
1842 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1844 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
1845 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
1846 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
1849 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
1850 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
1851 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
1852 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
1855 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1857 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
1858 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
1859 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
1860 Suggested by Karl Berry.
1862 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
1864 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
1865 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
1868 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1870 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
1871 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
1872 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
1873 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
1874 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
1876 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1877 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1879 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
1880 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
1881 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
1882 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
1883 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
1884 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
1885 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
1886 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
1888 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
1890 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'

1900 * tests/parallel-tests10.test: Likewise.
1901 * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"):
1902 Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
1903 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
1904 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
1906 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1908 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
1909 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
1910 already unset in the `defs' file.
1911 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
1912 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.

1925 Improve help message of mdate-sh.
1926 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
1928 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1930 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
1931 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
1932 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
1934 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
1936 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
