3 tests defs: clear TESTS_ENVIRONMENT variable
4 * tests/defs.in (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset it, so that values
5 from environment won't interfere with the testcases.
6 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
8 2011-02-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
10 tests: tweak few tests on simple and parallel test drivers
11 * tests/check-exported-srcdir.test: Improve heading comments.
12 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: Likewise. Also, unset the
13 `FOO_EXIT_STATUS' variable, so that any pre-existing value in the
14 environment won't risk to interfere with the test.
15 Suggestions by Ralf Wildenhues.
17 2011-02-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
19 coverage: more tests on simple and parallel test drivers

28 tests: fix spurious failures in lflags*.test
29 * tests/lflags.test: Remove 'LEX' from the environment, so
30 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
31 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
33 2011-01-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
35 docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
36 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
37 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
38 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
39 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
40 activated when it should.
42 2011-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
44 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
45 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
46 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
47 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
48 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
50 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
52 coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags
53 * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"
54 per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects.
55 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
56 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
58 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
60 tests defs: sanitize IFS
61 * tests/defs.in ($IFS): Define to <space>, <tab>, <newline>.

63 ($tab): New variable, holding a tabulation character.
64 ($nl): New variable, holding a newline character.
66 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
68 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
69 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
70 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
71 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.
73 2011-01-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
75 tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
76 * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
77 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
78 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
80 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
82 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
83 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
84 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
85 up its internal memory when copying this tree.
87 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
88 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

91 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Update comment.
93 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
95 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
96 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
97 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
99 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
101 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
102 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
103 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
104 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
105 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
106 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

109 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
111 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
112 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
113 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
114 parallel-tests driver.
116 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
118 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.
119 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Remove a previously existing
120 conftest.dir before recreating it.
122 Report by Eric Blake, from report by Scott McCreary against M4.
124 2011-01-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
126 tests: avoid failure on w32 file systems.
127 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: SKIP if file cannot
128 be turned unreadable.
130 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
132 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
133 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
134 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
135 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
137 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
139 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test
140 * tests/cond36.test ($required): Remove.
141 Since we are at it, add a trailing `:' command.

144 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
146 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
147 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
148 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
149 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
150 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
151 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
154 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
156 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
158 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
159 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
160 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
162 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
164 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
165 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
166 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
167 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
168 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
169 Report by Stefano Lattarini.

178 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
179 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
180 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
181 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
183 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
185 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
187 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
188 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
189 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
190 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.
191 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Add stub files.
192 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
193 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.

220 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL
221 * tests/txinfo5b.test: New test, like txinfo5.test but calling
222 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
223 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
224 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.
225 * tests/Makefile.am (TEST): Updated.
227 2011-01-09 Dave Hart <davehart@gmail.com> (tiny change)
229 Fix another typo in Rule.pm comment.
230 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typo.
232 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
234 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
235 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
236 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
237 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
238 uselessly run it in a subshell.
239 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
240 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
241 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
243 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
245 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
246 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
247 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
248 Makefile.in stricter.
249 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
250 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
252 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
253 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
254 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
255 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
256 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
257 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
258 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
259 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
260 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
261 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
262 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
263 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
264 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
265 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
266 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
267 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
268 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
269 so they have been moved ...
270 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
271 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
272 trailing `:' command.
273 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
274 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
275 append to configure.in.
276 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
277 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
278 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
279 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
280 minor cosmetic improvements.
281 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
282 trailing `:' command.
283 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
284 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.

308 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
309 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to
310 also check for the deleted header bug. If no dependency
311 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
312 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.
314 Fix typos in Rule.pm comments.

388 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
389 * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
390 the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
391 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
392 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
394 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
396 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
397 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
398 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
399 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
400 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
401 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
402 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
403 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

453 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
454 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
455 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
456 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
457 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
458 tests that force gcc depmode.
459 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
460 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
461 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
462 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

536 Sync config-ml.in from GCC.
537 * config-ml.in: Add Go support: treat GOC and GOCFLAGS like other
538 compiler/flag environment variables.
540 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
542 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
543 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
545 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
546 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
547 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
550 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
551 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
552 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both

557 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
558 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
559 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to
560 avoid spurious failures. Add a trailing `:' command.

571 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
573 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
574 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
575 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
576 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
577 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
578 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
579 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
580 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
583 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
585 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
586 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
587 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
588 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
589 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
590 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
591 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
592 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
594 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
596 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
597 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
598 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
599 are not part of the Automake API.
601 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
603 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
604 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
605 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
607 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
609 Rebuild menus in the manual.
610 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
611 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
613 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
614 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use

616 to fix quoting issues.
617 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
618 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.

624 Found by NixOS Hydra.
626 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
628 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
629 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
630 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
631 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
632 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
633 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
634 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
635 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
636 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
637 Reported by Andy Wingo.
639 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
641 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
642 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
643 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
644 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
645 of test `vala2.test'.
647 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
649 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
650 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
651 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
653 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
654 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
655 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
657 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
658 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
659 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
660 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
661 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
663 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
665 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
667 Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.
668 * doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
669 (Introduction): Refer to it.
671 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
673 Add support for newer python versions.
674 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to

686 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
687 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
688 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
689 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
690 please maintainer-check.

693 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
694 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
696 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
697 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
698 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
699 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.

707 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
708 are expanded before rules.
709 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
710 get matched as a rule.
711 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
713 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
715 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
716 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
717 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

734 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
735 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
736 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
737 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
738 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
739 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
740 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
741 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
742 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
743 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
744 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
745 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
747 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

753 computation of PATH_SEPARATOR again.

778 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
779 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
780 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
781 `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private

803 lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
804 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
805 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
806 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or

811 * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years.
813 2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
815 Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
816 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
817 `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which
818 seems to have been removed, substituted by multiple release

861 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
862 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
863 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
864 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
866 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
867 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
869 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
871 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
872 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
873 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
875 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
876 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
877 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
878 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
880 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
881 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
882 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
883 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
884 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'
885 and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.
886 (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'.
887 * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command.

915 Fix bug in test missing6.test.
916 * tests/missing6.test: Fix the hack used to edit `configure.in',
917 to avoid producing a configure script that breaks with shells
918 that do not support $LINENO. Also throw in a couple of cosmetic
921 2010-08-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
923 Improve robustness of mdate-sh script.
924 * lib/mdate-sh: Sanitize zsh behavior on startup, to ensure
925 $ls_command is word-split properly upon invocation.
926 (error): New function.
927 (main): Use it. Improve error checking to avoid endless loop
928 in case $ls_command gave bogus output. Fix eval quotation.

930 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
932 2010-08-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

942 Docs: clarify how to avoid automatic dependencies tracking.
943 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that
944 automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that
945 the package developer can disable it altogether. Add a reference
946 to the proper section for a more in-depth explanation.
948 Fix typo in manual (`Makefile.in' instead of `Makefile.am').
949 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Fix typo.
951 2010-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>

965 `$me' over hard-coded test name.
966 * tests/aclocal6.test: Likewise.
967 * tests/aclocal18.test: Add trailing `:' command, and make
968 some grepping slightly stricter.
969 * tests/acloca14.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `diff' over
970 `cmp', and add some "cosmetic" blank lines.
972 2010-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
974 Tweak and extend tests `pr[!0-9]*.test'.
975 * tests/primary3.test: Add trailing `:' command.
976 * tests/primary.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
977 Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.
978 * tests/primary2.test: Likewise.
979 * tests/prefix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
980 changes. Add a trailing `:' command.

999 flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs).
1000 * tests/pr220.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
1001 Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.
1002 * tests/pr224.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1003 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
1004 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
1005 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
1006 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
1007 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
1008 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.
1009 * tests/pr72.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
1010 changes. Extend existing checks a bit.
1011 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise. Also, avoid obsolescent constructs in

1013 generated tarball a bit.
1014 * tests/pr87.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
1015 changes. Add a trailing `:' command. Also, do not create dummy
1016 files required by "gnu" mode (e.g. README, NEWS), since we run
1017 automake in foreign mode anyway.
1018 * tests/pr243.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
1019 `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1020 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,

1118 rather than writing one from scratch, and do not call AC_OUTPUT.
1119 Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related changes. Prefer diff over
1120 cmp to compare text files. Prefer perl over sed to fetch the value
1121 of $(DIST_COMMON) from Makefile.in. Make grepping of the contents
1122 of $(DIST_COMMON) stricter.

1144 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
1145 Add a trailing `:' command.
1146 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1147 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
1148 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1149 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1150 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
1151 trailing `:' command.
1152 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in

1203 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1204 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1205 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1206 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1207 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1208 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1225 `eval' builtin. Fixed a botched error message. Removed an
1228 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1229 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1230 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1232 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.
1233 * bootstrap ($AUTOCONF): New variable, from the environment.

1295 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1296 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty
1297 to avoid shell syntax error if the m4 expansion is empty.

1304 2010-07-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1306 Modernize and improve test scripts `subdir*.test'.
1307 * tests/subdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related

1311 * tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
1312 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related

1315 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1316 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1317 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1318 `subdir5.test' here).
1319 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.

1323 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
1324 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
1325 it from scratch. Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
1326 autoconf/automake macros.
1328 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1329 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1330 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1331 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
1332 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
1333 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
1334 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a
1335 trailing `:' command. Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister

1358 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1360 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1361 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1362 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1363 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1364 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1365 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1366 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1368 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1369 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1370 writing one from scratch.

1404 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1405 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1406 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1407 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1408 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1409 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1410 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

1422 2010-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1424 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1425 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1426 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1428 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1430 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1431 `make dist' to fail.

1442 * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
1443 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1444 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1445 declaration, to please compilers.
1447 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1449 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1450 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1451 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1452 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1453 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1454 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1457 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1458 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1459 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1460 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1462 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
1463 * tests/yflags.test: New test, check that user $(YFLAGS) takes

1474 * tests/suffix4.test: Likewise.
1475 * tests/suffix6.test: Likewise, and do not create a useless dummy
1477 * tests/suffix7.test: Likewise.
1478 * tests/suffix5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1479 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1480 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1481 changes. Also, do not redirect grep output to /dev/null, as this
1482 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1483 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1484 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1485 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1486 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1487 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1488 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
1489 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the
1490 env(1) utility, and make grepping of make output stricter by using
1491 $FGREP rather than plain grep.
1492 * tests/suffix11.test: Likewise.
1493 * tests/suffix12.test: Likewise.
1494 * tests/suffix9.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to append to

1498 2010-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1500 Add useful comment in test script ext.test.
1501 * tests/ext.test: Add a comment explaining why an apparently
1502 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1504 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1505 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1506 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1508 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
1509 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the

1516 for the FOOTEST conditional.
1518 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1520 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1521 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
1523 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1524 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1525 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
1526 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
1527 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
1528 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1529 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1530 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1531 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1532 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1533 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1534 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1535 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1537 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1538 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1539 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

1541 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1542 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1554 here-doc, not using echo.
1555 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1556 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1557 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1558 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1560 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1561 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1618 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1620 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.

1622 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1623 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1625 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1627 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.

1633 improvement to comments.
1634 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1635 Prepend it to all error messages.
1637 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1638 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1639 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1640 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1641 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1642 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1644 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1646 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1647 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1648 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1649 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1650 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1651 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1652 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1653 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1654 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1655 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1656 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1657 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1658 rather than in the middle.

1674 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1675 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1676 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1677 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.

1680 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1681 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1712 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
1713 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
1715 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1729 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1730 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1731 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1732 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1733 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1734 known extension EXT.

1808 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1809 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1810 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1811 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):

1816 Report by Christina Gratorp.
1820 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1822 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1823 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the

1825 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1827 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1828 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the

1836 Improved test silent5.test.
1837 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1838 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1839 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1840 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1841 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1842 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1844 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1845 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1846 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.

1858 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1859 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1861 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1862 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1863 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if

1873 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1874 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1875 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1876 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1878 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1879 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1880 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1881 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1882 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1883 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1884 dependencies are enabled.
1885 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1886 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1887 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1888 dependency tracking.
1889 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1890 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1891 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1893 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1895 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1896 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1897 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1898 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1899 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1901 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1903 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1904 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1905 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1906 double-quotes and backquotes.
1908 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1910 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1912 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1913 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1914 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1915 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1916 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1917 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1918 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1921 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1923 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1924 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1925 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1927 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1928 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1929 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1932 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1934 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1935 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1936 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1938 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1939 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1940 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1942 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1943 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1944 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1945 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1946 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1948 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1951 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1952 missing closing parenthesis.
1954 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1955 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1956 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1958 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1960 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1961 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1964 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1966 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1967 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1968 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1969 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1972 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1974 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1975 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1976 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1977 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1978 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1980 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1981 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1982 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1984 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1985 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1986 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1987 Also, bumped copyright years.
1989 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1991 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1992 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1993 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1995 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1996 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1997 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1998 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2000 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2002 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2003 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2004 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2005 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2006 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2007 cause the whole test to fail.
2009 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2011 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2012 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2013 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2015 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2017 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2018 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2019 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2020 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2022 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2024 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2025 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2027 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2028 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2031 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2033 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2034 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2035 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2036 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2037 and unstable exit status values.
2038 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2039 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2040 $warnings_are_errors.
2041 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2042 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2045 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2047 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2048 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2049 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2050 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2052 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2053 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2054 succeds unexpectedly.
2056 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2057 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2058 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2059 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2061 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2063 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2064 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2065 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2066 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2068 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2070 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2071 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2072 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2075 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2076 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2077 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2078 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2081 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2083 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2084 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2085 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2086 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2088 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2090 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2091 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2094 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2096 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2097 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2098 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2099 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2100 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2102 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2103 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2105 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2106 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2107 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2108 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2109 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2110 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2111 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2112 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2114 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2116 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2117 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
2118 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
2119 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.

2132 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2134 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
2135 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
2136 already unset in the `defs' file.
2137 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.

2154 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2156 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2157 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2158 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2160 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
2162 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

2183 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
2184 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
2185 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to
