11 2011-02-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
13 tests defs: clear TESTS_ENVIRONMENT variable
14 * tests/defs.in (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset it, so that values
15 from environment won't interfere with the testcases.
16 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
18 2011-02-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
20 tests: tweak few tests on simple and parallel test drivers
21 * tests/check-exported-srcdir.test: Improve heading comments.
22 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: Likewise. Also, unset the
23 `FOO_EXIT_STATUS' variable, so that any pre-existing value in the
24 environment won't risk to interfere with the test.
25 Suggestions by Ralf Wildenhues.
27 2011-02-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

40 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
41 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
43 2011-01-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
45 docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
46 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
47 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
48 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
49 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
50 activated when it should.
52 2011-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
54 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
55 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
56 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
57 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
58 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
60 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
62 coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags
63 * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"
64 per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects.
65 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
66 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
68 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

78 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
79 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
80 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
81 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.
83 2011-01-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
85 tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
86 * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
87 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
88 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
90 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
92 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
93 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
94 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
95 up its internal memory when copying this tree.
97 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
98 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

101 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Update comment.
103 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
105 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
106 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
107 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
109 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
111 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
112 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
113 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
114 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
115 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
116 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

119 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
121 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
122 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
123 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
124 parallel-tests driver.
126 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
128 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.
129 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Remove a previously existing
130 conftest.dir before recreating it.
132 Report by Eric Blake, from report by Scott McCreary against M4.
134 2011-01-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
136 tests: avoid failure on w32 file systems.
137 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: SKIP if file cannot
138 be turned unreadable.
140 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
142 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
143 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
144 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
145 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
147 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
149 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test
150 * tests/cond36.test ($required): Remove.
151 Since we are at it, add a trailing `:' command.

154 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
156 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
157 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
158 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
159 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
160 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
161 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
164 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
166 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
168 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
169 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
170 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
172 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
174 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
175 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
176 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
177 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
178 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
179 Report by Stefano Lattarini.

188 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
189 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
190 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
191 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
193 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
195 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
197 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
198 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
199 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
200 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.
201 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Add stub files.
202 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
203 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.

230 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL
231 * tests/txinfo5b.test: New test, like txinfo5.test but calling
232 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
233 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
234 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.
235 * tests/Makefile.am (TEST): Updated.
237 2011-01-09 Dave Hart <davehart@gmail.com> (tiny change)

240 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typo.
242 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
244 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
245 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
246 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
247 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
248 uselessly run it in a subshell.
249 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
250 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
251 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
253 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
255 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
256 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
257 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
258 Makefile.in stricter.
259 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
260 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
262 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
263 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
264 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
265 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
266 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
267 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
268 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
269 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
270 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
271 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
272 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
273 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
274 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
275 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
276 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
277 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
278 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
279 so they have been moved ...
280 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
281 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
282 trailing `:' command.
283 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
284 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
285 append to configure.in.
286 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
287 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
288 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
289 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
290 minor cosmetic improvements.
291 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
292 trailing `:' command.
293 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
294 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.

316 2011-01-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
318 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
319 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to
320 also check for the deleted header bug. If no dependency
321 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
322 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.
324 Fix typos in Rule.pm comments.
325 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typos in comments.
327 docs: split 'amhello Explained' node.
328 * doc/automake.texi (amhello Explained): Split node ...

352 couples (such as `lib_PROGRAMS' or `doc_LIBRARIES').
354 2011-01-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

390 weaker make implementations (e.g. IRIX 6.5).
391 * tests/parallel-tests8.test: Likewise, plus a required related
393 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues. The bugs have been there from the

398 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
399 * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
400 the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
401 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
402 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
404 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
406 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
407 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
408 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
409 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
410 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
411 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
412 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
413 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

463 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
464 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
465 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
466 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
467 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
468 tests that force gcc depmode.
469 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
470 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
471 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
472 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

548 compiler/flag environment variables.
550 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
552 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
553 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
555 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.

557 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
560 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.

581 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
583 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
584 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
585 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
586 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
587 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
588 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
589 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
590 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf

595 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
596 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
597 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
598 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
599 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
600 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
601 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
602 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
604 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
606 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
607 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
608 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
609 are not part of the Automake API.
611 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
613 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
614 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case

621 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
623 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.

636 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
638 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
639 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
640 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
641 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
642 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
643 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
644 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
645 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
646 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
647 Reported by Andy Wingo.

653 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
654 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
655 of test `vala2.test'.
657 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

664 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
665 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
667 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
668 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
669 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
670 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
671 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:

696 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
697 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
698 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."

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

723 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
725 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
726 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,

744 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
745 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
746 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
747 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on

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

1015 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
1016 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
1017 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
1018 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.
1019 * tests/pr72.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
1020 changes. Extend existing checks a bit.

1028 * tests/pr243.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
1029 `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1030 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
1031 and add a "FIXME" comment.
1032 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch
1033 `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.

1123 accordingly to "TODO" comments.
1124 * tests/conff2.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.

1155 Add a trailing `:' command.
1156 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1157 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
1158 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1159 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose

1213 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1214 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1215 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1216 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1217 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.

1305 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1306 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1325 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1326 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1327 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1328 `subdir5.test' here).
1329 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.

1339 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1340 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.

1370 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1371 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1372 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1373 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1374 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1375 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1376 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1378 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1379 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1380 writing one from scratch.

1414 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1415 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1416 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is

1434 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1435 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1436 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1438 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1440 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause

1453 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1454 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1455 declaration, to please compilers.
1457 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1459 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1460 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1461 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",

1463 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1464 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1467 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1468 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1469 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1470 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still

1492 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1493 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1494 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1495 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1496 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1497 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1498 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
1499 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the
1500 env(1) utility, and make grepping of make output stricter by using
1501 $FGREP rather than plain grep.

1512 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1514 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1515 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1516 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1518 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.

1526 for the FOOTEST conditional.
1528 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1530 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1531 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
1533 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1534 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1535 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
1536 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
1537 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
1538 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1539 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1540 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1541 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1542 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1543 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1544 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1545 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1547 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1548 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1549 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

1551 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1552 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1564 here-doc, not using echo.
1565 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1566 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1567 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1568 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1570 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1571 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1628 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1630 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1631 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1632 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1633 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1635 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1637 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1638 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way

1643 improvement to comments.
1644 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1645 Prepend it to all error messages.
1647 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1648 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1649 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1650 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1651 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1652 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1654 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1656 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1657 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1658 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1659 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1660 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1661 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1662 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1663 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1664 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1665 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1666 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1667 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1668 rather than in the middle.

1684 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1685 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1686 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1687 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.

1690 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1691 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1739 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1740 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1741 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1742 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1743 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1744 known extension EXT.

1818 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1819 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1820 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1821 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):

1830 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1832 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1833 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the

1846 Improved test silent5.test.
1847 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1848 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1849 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1850 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1851 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1852 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1854 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1855 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1856 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.

1869 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1871 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1872 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if

1883 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1884 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1885 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1886 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1888 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1889 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1890 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1891 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1892 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1893 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1894 dependencies are enabled.
1895 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1896 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1897 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1898 dependency tracking.
1899 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1900 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1901 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1903 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1905 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1906 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1907 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1908 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1909 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1911 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1913 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1914 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1915 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1916 double-quotes and backquotes.
1918 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1920 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1922 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1923 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1924 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1925 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1926 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1927 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1928 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1931 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1933 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1934 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1935 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1937 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1938 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1939 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1942 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1944 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1945 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1946 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1948 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1949 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1950 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1952 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1953 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1954 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1955 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1956 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1958 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1961 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1962 missing closing parenthesis.
1964 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1965 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1966 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1968 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1970 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1971 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1974 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1976 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1977 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1978 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1979 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1982 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1984 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1985 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1986 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1987 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1988 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1990 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1991 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1992 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1994 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1995 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1996 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1997 Also, bumped copyright years.
1999 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2001 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2002 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2003 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2005 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2006 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2007 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2008 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2010 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2012 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2013 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2014 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2015 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2016 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2017 cause the whole test to fail.
2019 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2021 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2022 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2023 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2025 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2027 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2028 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2029 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2030 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2032 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2034 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2035 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2037 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2038 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2041 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2043 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2044 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2045 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2046 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2047 and unstable exit status values.
2048 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2049 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2050 $warnings_are_errors.
2051 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2052 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2055 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2057 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2058 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2059 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2060 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2062 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2063 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2064 succeds unexpectedly.
2066 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2067 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2068 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2069 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2071 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2073 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2074 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2075 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2076 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2078 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2080 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2081 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2082 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2085 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2086 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2087 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2088 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2091 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2093 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2094 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2095 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2096 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2098 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2100 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2101 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2104 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2106 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2107 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2108 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2109 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2110 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2112 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2113 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2115 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2116 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2117 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2118 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2119 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2120 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2121 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2122 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2124 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2126 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2127 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
2128 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
2129 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.

2140 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
2142 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2144 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
2145 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
2146 already unset in the `defs' file.
2147 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
2148 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.

2164 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2166 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2167 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2168 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2170 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
2172 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2174 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.

2193 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
2194 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
2195 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to
