3 tests: avoid new failures due to nonexistent makeinfo.
4 * tests/txinfo.test, tests/txinfo8.test: Create stub info files
5 so 'missing --run makeinfo' won't fail even if makeinfo is not
8 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
10 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
11 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
12 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
13 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
14 uselessly run it in a subshell.
15 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
16 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
17 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
19 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
21 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
22 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
23 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
25 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
26 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
28 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
29 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
30 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
31 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
32 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
33 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
34 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
35 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
36 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
37 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
38 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
39 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
40 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
41 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
42 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
43 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
44 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
45 so they have been moved ...
46 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
47 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
49 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
50 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
51 append to configure.in.
52 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
53 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
54 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
55 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
56 minor cosmetic improvements.
57 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
59 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
60 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.
61 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
63 2011-01-02 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
65 * NEWS: Fix typo (forgotten word).

68 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
70 docs: how to work around checks on invalid primary/directory couples
71 * doc/automake.texi (Uniform): Document the blessed idiom which can
72 be used to work around automake checks on invalid primary/directory
73 couples (such as `lib_PROGRAMS' or `doc_LIBRARIES').
75 2011-01-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
77 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
78 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
81 Fix maintainer-check regression.
82 * tests/subobj11a.test: Pass DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS in the
86 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal, version): Bump copyright years.
87 * automake.in (gen_copyright, version): Likewise.
88 * doc/automake.texi: Likewise.

91 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
93 Work around a bug in file-inclusion mechanism of Solaris make.
94 * automake.in (handle_single_transform): In the name of the
95 dependency file: collapse multiple slash characters into a single
97 * tests/subobj11a.test: New test.
98 * tests/subobj11b.test: Likewise.
99 * tests/subobj11c.test: Likewise.

102 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
104 Report by Stefano Lattarini, quick fix by Ralf Wildenhues, final
105 patch and tests by Stefano Lattarini.
107 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
109 Fix two spurious testsuite failures on IRIX 6.5.
110 * tests/suffix13.test (Makefile.am): Account for VPATH issues on
111 weaker make implementations (e.g. IRIX 6.5).
112 * tests/parallel-tests8.test: Likewise, plus a required related
114 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues. The bugs have been there from the
115 first versions of the affected test scripts.

119 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
120 * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
121 the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
122 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
123 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
125 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
127 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
128 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
129 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
130 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
131 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
132 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
133 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
134 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

141 Fix sed-related buglet in test "subdir5.test"
142 * tests/subdir5.test: Always terminate text passed to the
143 `i' sed command with a newline, to work around limitations
144 in e.g. older OpenBSD sed.
146 2010-12-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
148 docs: fix blunder in example about python extension modules
149 * doc/automake.texi (Python): Use `quaternion_la_SOURCES',
150 not `quaternion_SOURCES', to declare the sources of python
151 extension module `quaternion.la'.

161 Improve tests on generated portions of configure help screen.
162 * tests/help-depend.test: Grepping of configure help screen
163 relaxed to cater for possible line wrapping, and tightened in

177 Avoid running installed automake from 'libtool --help'.
178 * tests/subobj9.test: Export AUTOCONF and AUTOMAKE.
179 Together with fixed Libtool, this fixes check-coverage to not
180 invoke installed automake.
182 2010-11-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
184 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
185 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
186 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
187 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
188 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
189 tests that force gcc depmode.
190 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
191 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
192 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
193 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
195 * silentlex.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
196 * silent-lex-generic.test, silent-lex-gcc.test: ... these new
197 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

200 * silent-yacc-generic.test, silent-yacc-gcc.test: ... these new
201 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
203 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
205 2010-11-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

269 compiler/flag environment variables.
271 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
273 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
274 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
276 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
277 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
278 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
281 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
282 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
283 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both

288 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
289 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
290 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to
291 avoid spurious failures. Add a trailing `:' command.
292 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
294 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
296 Fix spurious failures of silent5.test with Sun Fortran.
297 * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
298 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,
299 to avoid spurious failures. This bug has been there from the
300 very first version of this test script.
302 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
304 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
305 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
306 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
307 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
308 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
309 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
310 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
311 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
314 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
316 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
317 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
318 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
319 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
320 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
321 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
322 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
323 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
325 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
327 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
328 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
329 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
330 are not part of the Automake API.
332 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
334 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
335 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
336 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
338 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
340 Rebuild menus in the manual.
341 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
342 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
344 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
345 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
346 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
347 to fix quoting issues.
348 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
349 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.
351 2010-11-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
353 Fix yaccdry.test failure: require bison.
354 * tests/yaccdry.test: Require bison.
355 Found by NixOS Hydra.
357 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
359 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
360 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
361 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
362 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
363 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
364 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
365 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
366 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
367 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
368 Reported by Andy Wingo.
370 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
372 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
373 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
374 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
375 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
376 of test `vala2.test'.
378 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
380 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
381 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
382 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
384 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
385 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
386 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
388 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
389 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
390 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
391 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
392 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
394 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
396 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
398 Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.
399 * doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
400 (Introduction): Refer to it.
402 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
404 Add support for newer python versions.
405 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
406 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
407 line and fix indentation.
409 From a report by Thomas Klausner.
411 Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
412 * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
413 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
415 Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
416 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
417 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
418 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
419 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
420 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
421 please maintainer-check.
422 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
424 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
425 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
427 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
428 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
429 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
430 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
431 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
432 * tests/help3.test: Likewise.
433 * tests/help4.test: Likewise.
435 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
437 Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
438 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
439 are expanded before rules.
440 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
441 get matched as a rule.
442 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
444 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
446 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
447 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
448 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.
450 2010-09-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
452 parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue.

454 substitution %MAKEFILE%.
455 (generate_makefile): Adjust.
456 * lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (check-TESTS): Pass
457 sanitized TEST_LOGS value as makefile snippet on standard
458 input to $(MAKE), to avoid exceeding the command line limit on
461 Report by Bob Friesenhahn.
463 2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
465 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
466 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
467 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
468 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
469 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
470 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
471 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
472 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
473 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
474 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
475 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
476 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
478 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
480 2010-09-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
482 Testsuite: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when extending PATH.
483 * tests/compile2.test: Do no uselessly (implicitly) repeat the
484 computation of PATH_SEPARATOR again.
485 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when
486 extending/redefining PATH.

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

602 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
603 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
604 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
606 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
607 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
608 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
609 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.

612 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
613 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
614 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.

674 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that
675 automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that

735 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
736 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
737 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from

1015 Document current policy for development with git.
1016 * HACKING (Working with git): Overhaul.
1017 Prompted by suggestion from Stefano Lattarini.
1019 Fix AM_COND_IF for gone-invalid condition shell expression.
1020 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): test contents of $COND_TRUE
1021 variable, rather than re-evaluating the shell expression for
1023 * tests/cond40.test: Extend test.
1026 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1027 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty
1028 to avoid shell syntax error if the m4 expansion is empty.
1029 * tests/cond40.test: Enhance test.
1031 Coverage: bogus option to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
1032 * tests/init2.test: New test.
1033 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1035 2010-07-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1037 Modernize and improve test scripts `subdir*.test'.
1038 * tests/subdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1039 changes. Use the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs',
1040 rather than writing one from scratch.
1041 * tests/subdir2.test: Likewise.
1042 * tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
1043 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1044 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1045 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
1046 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1047 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1048 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1049 `subdir5.test' here).
1050 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.
1051 * tests/subdir9.test: Define and use new variable `$distdir'. Add
1052 trailing `:' command.
1053 * tests/subdir10.test: Cosmetic consistency-related change.
1054 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
1055 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
1056 it from scratch. Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
1057 autoconf/automake macros.
1059 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1060 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1061 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1062 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
1063 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
1064 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
1065 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a
1066 trailing `:' command. Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister
1068 * tests/distcom6.test: Likewise, and avoid to uselessly run

1074 Makefile.am as `.PHONY'. Display content of more files, to ease
1075 debugging. Add trailing `:' command.
1076 * tests/distcom5.test: Likewise. Also, factor out common sed
1077 script in subroutine `extract_distcommon'.
1078 * tests/distcom7.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to write
1079 test Makefile.am files. Add a trailing `:' command.
1080 * tests/distname.test: Prefer `gzip -d' over `gunzip'. Move the
1081 call to `set -e' earlier. Be stricter and more verbose in the
1082 checking of the generated tarball.
1083 (configure.in): Use the stub provided by ./defs, instead of
1084 writing it from scratch. Avoid obsoleted constructs. Remove
1085 useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.
1086 * tests/distdir.test: Various minor improvements/normalizations.
1087 * tests/distlinks.test: Likewise.
1089 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1091 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1092 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1093 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1094 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1095 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1096 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1097 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1099 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1100 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1101 writing one from scratch.
1103 2010-06-26 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1105 Update program --help output to match current GCS.

1107 is not defined, for compatibility to Autoconf < 2.64.
1108 * Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute PACKAGE_BUGREPORT and
1110 (sc_diff_automake_in_automake): Update number of diff lines for
1111 additional substitutions.
1112 * aclocal.in (usage): Use PACKAGE_BUGREPORT. Point to Automake
1113 home page and GNU general help page.
1114 * automake.in (usage): Likewise.
1115 * doc/automake.texi: New flag PACKAGE_BUGREPORT, to factor email
1117 (Introduction, Creating amhello, amhello Explained, Options):
1119 * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute
1121 * lib/Automake/Config.in ($PACKAGE_BUGREPORT): New global.
1122 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Use it for footer of fatal
1125 Clean up @var handling in the manual.
1126 * doc/automake.texi: Throughout the manual, lower-case @var
1127 names, replace a few one-character names.

1132 * tests/silent5.test: Use $EGREP, not $GREP (which is not even
1135 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1136 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1137 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1138 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1139 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1140 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1141 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use
1142 of `foreign' option in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.

1150 * tests/lex5.test ($required): Do not list "gzip", as it's
1153 2010-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1155 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1156 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1157 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1159 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1161 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1162 `make dist' to fail.

1173 * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
1174 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1175 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1176 declaration, to please compilers.
1178 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1180 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1181 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1182 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1183 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1184 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1185 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1188 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1189 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1190 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1191 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1193 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
1194 * tests/yflags.test: New test, check that user $(YFLAGS) takes

1213 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1214 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1215 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1216 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1217 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1218 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1219 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
1220 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the

1233 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1235 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1236 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1237 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1239 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
1240 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the

1247 for the FOOTEST conditional.
1249 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1251 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1252 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
1254 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1255 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1256 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
1257 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.

1262 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1263 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1264 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1265 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1266 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1268 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1269 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1270 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1271 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1272 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1273 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1288 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1289 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1291 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1292 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1349 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1351 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1352 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1353 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1354 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1356 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1358 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.

1370 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1371 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1372 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1373 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.

1407 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1408 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.

1460 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1461 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1462 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1463 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1464 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1465 known extension EXT.

1551 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1553 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1554 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1555 output produced by `make'.
1556 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1558 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1559 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1560 output produced by `make'.
1561 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
1562 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
1563 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1564 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1565 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1567 Improved test silent5.test.
1568 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1569 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1570 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1571 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1572 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1573 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1575 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1576 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1577 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1578 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1580 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
1581 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
1582 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1584 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
1585 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
1586 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1588 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1589 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1590 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1592 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1593 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1594 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1595 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).

1602 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1604 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1605 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1606 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1607 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1609 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1610 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1611 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1612 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1613 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1614 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1615 dependencies are enabled.
1616 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1617 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1618 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1619 dependency tracking.
1620 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1621 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1622 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1624 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1626 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1627 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1628 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1629 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1630 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1632 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1634 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1635 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1636 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1637 double-quotes and backquotes.
1639 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1641 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1643 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1644 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1645 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1646 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1647 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1648 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1649 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1652 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1654 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1655 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1656 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1658 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1659 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1660 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1663 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1665 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1666 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1667 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1669 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1670 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1671 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1673 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1674 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1675 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1676 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1677 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1679 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1682 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1683 missing closing parenthesis.
1685 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1686 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1687 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1689 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1691 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1692 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1695 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1697 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1698 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1699 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1700 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1703 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1705 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1706 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1707 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1708 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1709 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1711 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1712 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1713 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1715 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1716 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1717 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1718 Also, bumped copyright years.
1720 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1722 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1723 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1724 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1726 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1727 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1728 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1729 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1731 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1733 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1734 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1735 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1736 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1737 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1738 cause the whole test to fail.
1740 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1742 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1743 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1744 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1746 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1748 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1749 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1750 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1751 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
1753 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1755 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
1756 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
1758 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
1759 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
1762 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1764 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1765 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1766 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1767 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1768 and unstable exit status values.
1769 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
1770 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
1771 $warnings_are_errors.
1772 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
1773 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1776 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1778 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1779 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
1780 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
1781 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1783 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
1784 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
1785 succeds unexpectedly.
1787 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
1788 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
1789 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1790 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
1792 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1794 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
1795 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
1796 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1797 Report by Pavel Sanda.
1799 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1801 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
1802 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
1803 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
1806 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
1807 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
1808 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
1809 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
1812 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1814 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
1815 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
1816 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
1817 Suggested by Karl Berry.
1819 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
1821 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
1822 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
1825 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1827 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
1828 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
1829 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
1830 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
1831 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
1833 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1834 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1836 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
1837 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
1838 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
1839 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
1840 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
1841 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
1842 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
1843 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
1845 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
1847 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
1848 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').

1858 * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"):
1859 Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
1860 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
1861 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
1863 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1865 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
1866 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
1867 already unset in the `defs' file.
1868 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
1869 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.

1882 Improve help message of mdate-sh.
1883 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
1885 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1887 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
1888 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
1889 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
1891 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
1893 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1895 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.

1914 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
1915 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
1916 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to

1919 * lib/elisp-comp: Likewise.
1920 * lib/install-sh: Likewise.
1921 * lib/ylwrap: Likewise. Also, fix script to trap signal 13, not 3.

1938 Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
1939 * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
1940 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
1941 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
1943 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
1945 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
1946 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls
1947 to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and remove explicit definition of
1948 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
1949 Updated copyright years.
1950 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
1952 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
1953 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the
1954 filesystem, which were erroneously left out from $(TESTS):
1955 acoutbs2.test, badopt.test, extra2.test.
