3 tests: fix bug in alloca*.test
4 * tests/alloca.test: Make grepping of automake stderr stricter,
5 add a trailing `:' command; also, add AC_PROG_CC to configure.in,
6 and create a dummy alloca.c file, to ensure that we fail for the
8 * tests/alloca2.test: Likewise. Also, look for LT_INIT, not
9 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, in the error message (bug introduced with commit
10 v1.11-315-gd51e7b7 "libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES
12 From a report by Patrick Welche.
14 2011-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
16 tests: fix bug (comments-in-var-defn.test + autoconf 2.62)
17 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: The configure.in stub created
18 by default, which has the AC_INIT first argument obtained by the
19 test name, causes autoconf 2.62 to fail with a spurious error
20 message like: "configure.in:1: error: defn: undefined macro:".
21 Thus, to prevent this, the test is renamed to ...
22 * tests/comments-in-var-def.test: ... this.
23 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

34 2011-03-01 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
36 test defs: unindent without temporary file
37 * tests/defs.in (commented_sed_unindent_prog): Commented Sed program
38 that strips the "proper" amount of leading whitespace.
39 (unindent): Lazily strip comments from the above program and use it
40 to unindent without using a temporary file.
42 2011-02-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
44 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
45 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
46 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
47 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
48 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
49 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
50 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
51 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
52 * libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to macro
53 AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does
54 not fail for the wrong reasons.
55 * ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool support
56 works with LT_INIT-based interface.
57 Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.
59 2011-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
61 tests: tempdirs with restrictive permissions are cleaned correctly
62 Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory
63 containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as
64 'r--r--r--') could fail.
65 * tests/defs: Ensure that all the subdirectories of a temporary
66 test directory have the 'read', 'write' and 'execute' bits set,
67 before trying to remove it with `rm -rf'.
68 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Likewise.

90 from environment won't interfere with the testcases.
91 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
93 2011-02-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
95 tests: tweak few tests on simple and parallel test drivers
96 * tests/check-exported-srcdir.test: Improve heading comments.
97 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: Likewise. Also, unset the
98 `FOO_EXIT_STATUS' variable, so that any pre-existing value in the
99 environment won't risk to interfere with the test.
100 Suggestions by Ralf Wildenhues.

120 docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
121 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
122 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
123 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
124 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
125 activated when it should.
127 2011-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
129 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
130 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
131 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
132 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
133 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
135 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
137 coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags

151 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
153 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
154 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
155 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
156 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.

160 tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
161 * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
162 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.

165 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
167 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
168 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
169 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
170 up its internal memory when copying this tree.

178 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
180 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
181 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
182 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
184 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
186 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
187 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
188 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
189 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
190 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
191 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

196 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
197 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
198 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
199 parallel-tests driver.

217 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
218 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
219 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
220 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
222 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
224 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test

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

241 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
243 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
244 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
245 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
247 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
249 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input

319 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
320 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
321 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
322 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
323 uselessly run it in a subshell.
324 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
325 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
326 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
328 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
330 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
331 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
332 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
333 Makefile.in stricter.
334 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
335 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
337 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
338 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
339 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
340 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
341 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
342 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
343 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
344 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
345 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
346 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
347 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
348 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
349 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
350 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
351 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
352 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
353 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
354 so they have been moved ...
355 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
356 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
357 trailing `:' command.
358 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
359 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
360 append to configure.in.

362 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
363 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
364 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
365 minor cosmetic improvements.
366 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
367 trailing `:' command.

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

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

538 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
539 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
540 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
541 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
542 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
543 tests that force gcc depmode.
544 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
545 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
546 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
547 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

658 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
659 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
660 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
661 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
662 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
663 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
664 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
665 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf

670 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
671 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
672 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
673 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
674 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
675 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
676 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
677 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
679 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
681 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
682 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove

684 are not part of the Automake API.
686 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
688 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
689 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case

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

713 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
714 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
715 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
716 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
717 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
718 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
719 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
720 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
721 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
722 Reported by Andy Wingo.

729 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
730 of test `vala2.test'.
732 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

739 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
740 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
742 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
743 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
744 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
745 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.

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

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

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

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

1089 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
1090 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
1091 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
1092 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
1093 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.

1159 a useless dummy file. Add trailing `:' command.
1160 * tests/colon4.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and

1195 disabled test (which didn't work with autoconf <= 2.59, but now we
1196 are requiring autoconf 2.62, so...)
1197 * tests/conflnk4.test: Cosmetic changes, and extend existing tests
1198 accordingly to "TODO" comments.

1230 Add a trailing `:' command.
1231 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1232 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an

1234 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1235 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
1236 trailing `:' command.
1237 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in

1288 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1289 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1290 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1291 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1292 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.

1380 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1381 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1398 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1399 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
1400 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1401 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1402 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1403 `subdir5.test' here).
1404 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.

1414 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1415 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.

1443 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1445 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1446 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1447 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1448 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1449 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1450 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1451 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1453 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1454 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1455 writing one from scratch.

1569 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1570 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1571 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1572 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1573 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.

1623 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1624 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

1642 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1643 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1645 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1646 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1724 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1725 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1726 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1727 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.

1816 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1817 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1818 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each

1960 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1961 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1963 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1964 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1965 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1966 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1967 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1968 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1969 dependencies are enabled.
1970 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1971 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1972 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1973 dependency tracking.
1974 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1975 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1976 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1978 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1980 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1981 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1982 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1983 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1984 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1986 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1988 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1989 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1990 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1991 double-quotes and backquotes.
1993 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1995 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1997 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1998 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1999 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
2000 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
2001 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
2002 eliminate such inconsistencies.
2003 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
2006 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2008 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
2009 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
2010 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
2012 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
2013 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
2014 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
2017 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2019 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2020 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2021 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2023 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
2024 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
2025 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
2027 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2028 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
2029 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
2030 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
2031 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
2033 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2036 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
2037 missing closing parenthesis.
2039 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
2040 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2041 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2043 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2045 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2046 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2049 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2051 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2052 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2053 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2054 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2057 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2059 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2060 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2061 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2062 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2063 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2065 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2066 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2067 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2069 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2070 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2071 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2072 Also, bumped copyright years.
2074 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2076 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2077 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2078 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2080 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2081 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2082 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2083 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2085 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2087 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2088 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2089 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2090 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2091 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2092 cause the whole test to fail.
2094 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2096 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2097 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2098 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2100 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2102 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2103 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2104 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2105 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2107 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2109 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2110 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2112 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2113 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2116 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2118 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2119 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2120 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2121 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2122 and unstable exit status values.
2123 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2124 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2125 $warnings_are_errors.
2126 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2127 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2130 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2132 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2133 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2134 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2135 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2137 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2138 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2139 succeds unexpectedly.
2141 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2142 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2143 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2144 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2146 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2148 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2149 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2150 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2151 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2153 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2155 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2156 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2157 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2160 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2161 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2162 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2163 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2166 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2168 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2169 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2170 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2171 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2173 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2175 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2176 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2179 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2181 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2182 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2183 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2184 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2185 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2187 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2188 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2190 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2191 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2192 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2193 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2194 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2195 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2196 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2197 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2199 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2201 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2202 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').

2214 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
2215 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
2217 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2219 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
2220 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
2221 already unset in the `defs' file.
2222 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
2223 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.

2239 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2241 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2242 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2243 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2245 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
2247 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

2268 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
2269 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
2270 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to

2294 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
2295 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
2297 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
2299 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
2300 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls

2302 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
2303 Updated copyright years.
2304 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
2306 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
