3 test defs: unindent without temporary file
4 * tests/defs.in (commented_sed_unindent_prog): Commented Sed program
5 that strips the "proper" amount of leading whitespace.
6 (unindent): Lazily strip comments from the above program and use it
7 to unindent without using a temporary file.

11 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
12 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
13 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
14 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
15 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
16 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
17 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
18 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
19 * libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to macro
20 AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does
21 not fail for the wrong reasons.
22 * ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool support
23 works with LT_INIT-based interface.
24 Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.
26 2011-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
28 tests: tempdirs with restrictive permissions are cleaned correctly
29 Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory
30 containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as
31 'r--r--r--') could fail.
32 * tests/defs: Ensure that all the subdirectories of a temporary
33 test directory have the 'read', 'write' and 'execute' bits set,
34 before trying to remove it with `rm -rf'.
35 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Likewise.

55 tests defs: clear TESTS_ENVIRONMENT variable
56 * tests/defs.in (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset it, so that values
57 from environment won't interfere with the testcases.
58 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
60 2011-02-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
62 tests: tweak few tests on simple and parallel test drivers
63 * tests/check-exported-srcdir.test: Improve heading comments.
64 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: Likewise. Also, unset the
65 `FOO_EXIT_STATUS' variable, so that any pre-existing value in the
66 environment won't risk to interfere with the test.
67 Suggestions by Ralf Wildenhues.
69 2011-02-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

83 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
85 2011-01-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
87 docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
88 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
89 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
90 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
91 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
92 activated when it should.
94 2011-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
96 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
97 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
98 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
99 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
100 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
102 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
104 coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags
105 * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"
106 per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects.
107 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
108 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
110 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

118 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
120 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
121 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
122 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
123 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.
125 2011-01-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
127 tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
128 * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
129 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
130 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
132 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
134 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
135 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
136 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
137 up its internal memory when copying this tree.

143 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Update comment.
145 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
147 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
148 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
149 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
151 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
153 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
154 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
155 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
156 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
157 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
158 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

161 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
163 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
164 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
165 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
166 parallel-tests driver.
168 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
170 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.

172 conftest.dir before recreating it.
174 Report by Eric Blake, from report by Scott McCreary against M4.
176 2011-01-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
178 tests: avoid failure on w32 file systems.
179 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: SKIP if file cannot
180 be turned unreadable.
182 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
184 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
185 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
186 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
187 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
189 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
191 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test

196 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
198 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
199 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
200 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
201 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
202 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
203 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
206 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
208 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
210 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
211 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
212 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
214 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
216 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
217 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
218 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
219 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
220 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.

235 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
237 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
239 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
240 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to

244 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
245 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.

272 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL

274 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
275 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
276 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.

284 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
286 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
287 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
288 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
289 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
290 uselessly run it in a subshell.
291 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
292 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
293 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
295 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
297 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
298 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
299 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
300 Makefile.in stricter.
301 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
302 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
304 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
305 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
306 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
307 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
308 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
309 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
310 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
311 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
312 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
313 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
314 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
315 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
316 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
317 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
318 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
319 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
320 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
321 so they have been moved ...
322 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
323 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
324 trailing `:' command.
325 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
326 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
327 append to configure.in.
328 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
329 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
330 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
331 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
332 minor cosmetic improvements.
333 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
334 trailing `:' command.
335 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
336 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.
337 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

358 2011-01-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
360 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
361 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to
362 also check for the deleted header bug. If no dependency
363 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
364 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.
366 Fix typos in Rule.pm comments.
367 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typos in comments.
369 docs: split 'amhello Explained' node.
370 * doc/automake.texi (amhello Explained): Split node ...

394 couples (such as `lib_PROGRAMS' or `doc_LIBRARIES').
396 2011-01-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

430 Fix two spurious testsuite failures on IRIX 6.5.
431 * tests/suffix13.test (Makefile.am): Account for VPATH issues on
432 weaker make implementations (e.g. IRIX 6.5).
433 * tests/parallel-tests8.test: Likewise, plus a required related
435 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues. The bugs have been there from the

440 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
441 * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
442 the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
443 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
444 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
446 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
448 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
449 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
450 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
451 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
452 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
453 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
454 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
455 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

462 Fix sed-related buglet in test "subdir5.test"
463 * tests/subdir5.test: Always terminate text passed to the
464 `i' sed command with a newline, to work around limitations
465 in e.g. older OpenBSD sed.

507 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
508 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
509 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
510 tests that force gcc depmode.
511 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
512 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
513 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
514 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
516 * silentlex.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
517 * silent-lex-generic.test, silent-lex-gcc.test: ... these new
518 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

521 * silent-yacc-generic.test, silent-yacc-gcc.test: ... these new
522 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

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

637 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
638 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
639 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
640 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
641 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
642 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
643 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
644 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
646 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
648 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
649 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove

655 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
656 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case

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

680 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
681 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
682 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
683 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
684 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
685 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
686 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
687 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
688 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
689 Reported by Andy Wingo.

696 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
697 of test `vala2.test'.

707 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
709 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
710 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.

748 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
749 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
750 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',

1056 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
1057 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
1058 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
1059 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
1060 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.

1165 accordingly to "TODO" comments.

1197 Add a trailing `:' command.
1198 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure

1367 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1368 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1369 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1370 `subdir5.test' here).
1371 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.

1381 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1382 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.

1412 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1413 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1414 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1415 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1416 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1417 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1418 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1420 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1421 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1422 writing one from scratch.

1456 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1457 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1458 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1459 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1460 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1461 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.

1476 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1477 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1478 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.

1496 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1497 declaration, to please compilers.
1499 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1502 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1503 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",

1536 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1537 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1538 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1539 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1540 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
1541 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the

1554 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1556 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1557 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1558 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1560 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.

1583 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1584 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1585 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1586 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1587 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1589 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1590 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1591 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

1593 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1594 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1609 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1610 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1612 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1613 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1690 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1691 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1692 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1693 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1694 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.

1782 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1783 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1784 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1785 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1786 known extension EXT.

1962 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1964 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1965 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1966 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1967 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1968 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1969 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1970 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1973 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1975 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1976 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1977 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1979 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1980 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1981 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1984 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1986 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1987 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1988 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1990 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1991 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1992 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1994 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1995 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1996 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1997 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1998 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
2000 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2003 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
2004 missing closing parenthesis.
2006 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
2007 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2008 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2010 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2012 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2013 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2016 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2018 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2019 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2020 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2021 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2024 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2026 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2027 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2028 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2029 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2030 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2032 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2033 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2034 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2036 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2037 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2038 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2039 Also, bumped copyright years.
2041 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2043 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2044 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2045 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2047 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2048 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2049 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2050 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2052 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2054 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2055 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2056 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2057 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2058 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2059 cause the whole test to fail.
2061 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2063 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2064 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2065 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2067 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2069 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2070 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2071 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2072 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2074 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2076 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2077 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2079 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2080 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2083 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2085 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2086 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2087 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2088 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2089 and unstable exit status values.
2090 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2091 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2092 $warnings_are_errors.
2093 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2094 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2097 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2099 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2100 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2101 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2102 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2104 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2105 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2106 succeds unexpectedly.
2108 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2109 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2110 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2111 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2113 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2115 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2116 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2117 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2118 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2120 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2122 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2123 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2124 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2127 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2128 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2129 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2130 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2133 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2135 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2136 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2137 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2138 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2140 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2142 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2143 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2146 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2148 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2149 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2150 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2151 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2152 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2154 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2155 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2157 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2158 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2159 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2160 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2161 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2162 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2163 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2164 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2166 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2168 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2169 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
2170 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
2171 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.

2181 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
2182 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
2184 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2186 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
2187 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
2188 already unset in the `defs' file.
2189 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
2190 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.

2204 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
2206 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2208 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2209 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2210 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2212 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
2214 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2216 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.

2261 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
2262 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
2264 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
2266 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
2267 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls

2269 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
2270 Updated copyright years.
2271 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
2273 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
2274 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the
