3 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
4 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
5 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
6 up its internal memory when copying this tree.

14 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
16 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
17 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
18 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
20 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
22 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
23 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
24 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
25 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
26 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
27 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

32 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
33 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
34 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
35 parallel-tests driver.
37 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
39 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.
40 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Remove a previously existing
41 conftest.dir before recreating it.

51 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
53 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
54 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
55 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
56 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
58 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
60 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test

65 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
67 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
68 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
69 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
70 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
71 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
72 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
75 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
77 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
79 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
80 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
81 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
83 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
85 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
86 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
87 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
88 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
89 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.

99 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
100 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
101 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
102 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
104 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
106 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
108 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
109 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
110 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
111 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.
112 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Add stub files.
113 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
114 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.

141 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL
142 * tests/txinfo5b.test: New test, like txinfo5.test but calling
143 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
144 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
145 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.
146 * tests/Makefile.am (TEST): Updated.

151 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typo.
153 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
155 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
156 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
157 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
158 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
159 uselessly run it in a subshell.
160 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
161 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
162 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
164 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
166 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
167 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
168 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
169 Makefile.in stricter.
170 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
171 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
173 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
174 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
175 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
176 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
177 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
178 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
179 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
180 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
181 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
182 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
183 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
184 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
185 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
186 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
187 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
188 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
189 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
190 so they have been moved ...
191 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
192 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
193 trailing `:' command.
194 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
195 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
196 append to configure.in.
197 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
198 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
199 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
200 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
201 minor cosmetic improvements.
202 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
203 trailing `:' command.
204 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
205 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.

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

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

312 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
313 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).

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

374 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
375 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
376 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
377 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
378 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
379 tests that force gcc depmode.
380 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
381 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...

509 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
510 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
511 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
512 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
513 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
515 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
517 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
518 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
519 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
520 are not part of the Automake API.
522 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
524 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
525 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
526 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
528 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
530 Rebuild menus in the manual.
531 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
532 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
534 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.

547 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
549 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
550 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
551 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
552 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
553 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
554 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
555 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
556 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
557 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
558 Reported by Andy Wingo.

564 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
565 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
566 of test `vala2.test'.
568 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

575 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
576 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
578 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
579 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
580 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
581 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.

608 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
609 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."

615 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
617 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
618 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
619 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',

634 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
636 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
637 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,

655 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
656 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
657 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
658 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
659 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
660 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
661 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
662 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
663 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
664 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
665 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the

699 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
700 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
701 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion

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

732 * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years.
734 2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
736 Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
737 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
738 `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which

782 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
783 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
784 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
785 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
787 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or

790 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
792 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
793 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
794 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
796 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
797 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
798 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
799 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
801 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
802 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
803 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
804 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
805 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'

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

923 * tests/pr224.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
924 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
925 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
926 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
927 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
928 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
929 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.

941 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
942 and add a "FIXME" comment.
943 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch
944 `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.
945 * tests/pr279.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
946 `configure.in'; also, use the `configure.in' stub created by

976 * tests/condhook.test: Make sure target `install-data-hook' is
977 not called by `make install', but that data files are installed.
978 Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in. Add trailing `:' command.
979 * tests/condhook2.test: New test, sister test of condhook, with

1037 stub preset be ./defs.
1038 * tests/confh.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by ./defs,
1039 rather than writing one from scratch, and do not call AC_OUTPUT.

1065 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
1066 Add a trailing `:' command.
1067 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1068 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
1069 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1070 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1071 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
1072 trailing `:' command.
1073 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in

1092 Separate failing part of test `all.test'.
1093 * tests/all.test: Keep only (x)failing part of the test. Working

1117 `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion
1118 of ./defs). Do not create useless dummy ac-init file `f'.
1119 * tests/subobj7.test: Do not create useless dummy ac-init file
1121 (configure.in): Use the stub created by `./defs', rather than
1122 writing it from scratch, and avoid obsolescent constructs.
1123 * tests/subobj9.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1124 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1125 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1126 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1127 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1128 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1129 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1146 `eval' builtin. Fixed a botched error message. Removed an
1149 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1150 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1151 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1153 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.

1216 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1217 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1236 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1237 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1238 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1239 `subdir5.test' here).
1240 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.

1244 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
1245 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
1246 it from scratch. Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
1247 autoconf/automake macros.
1249 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1250 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1251 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1252 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the

1279 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1281 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1282 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1283 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1284 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1285 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1286 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1287 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1289 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1290 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1291 writing one from scratch.

1303 home page and GNU general help page.
1304 * automake.in (usage): Likewise.

1325 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1326 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1327 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1328 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1329 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1330 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1331 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

1343 2010-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1345 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1346 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1347 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1349 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1351 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1352 `make dist' to fail.

1364 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1365 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1366 declaration, to please compilers.
1368 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1370 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1371 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1372 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1373 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1374 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1375 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1378 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1379 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1380 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1381 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1383 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.

1400 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1401 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related

1403 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1404 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1405 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1406 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1407 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1408 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1409 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.

1426 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1427 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1429 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.

1441 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1442 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
1444 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1445 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1446 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test

1449 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1450 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1451 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1452 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1453 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1454 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1455 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1456 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1458 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1459 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1460 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1461 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1462 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1463 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
1464 * tests/substre2.test: Ensure verbose printing of the captured
1465 make's output, and make its grepping slightly stricter.

1478 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1479 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1481 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1482 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.
1483 * tests/pluseq2.test: Likewise. Also, append to configure.in
1484 using cat with an here-doc, not using echo.
1485 * tests/pluseq3.test: Likewise.
1486 * tests/pluseq4.test: Likewise.
1487 * tests/pluseq6.test: Likewise.
1488 * tests/pluseq7.test: Do not create useless dummy source file.

1492 Testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured stderr.
1493 * tests/acloca18.test: Print captured stderr before either failing
1494 or grepping it. Be sure to send captured stderr to stderr, not to

1507 * tests/subobj.test: Likewise.
1508 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
1509 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
1511 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
1512 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1514 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.
1515 * tests/backsl.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and

1524 * tests/canon3.test: Likewise. Also, avoid to create an useless
1526 * tests/acoutpt2.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and some
1527 related changes. Do some cosmetic improvements in the generated
1528 `configure.in' file.

1530 * tests/cond14.test: Likewise.
1531 * tests/condinc.test: Likewise.
1532 * tests/cond7.test: Likewise. Also, remove useless setting of
1533 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am.
1534 * tests/ansi.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1535 changes. Extended, esp. by running autoconf, ./configure and
1536 make, and by looking into the distdir.

1539 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1541 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1542 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1543 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1544 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1546 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1548 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1549 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way
1552 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
1553 * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
1554 improvement to comments.
1555 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1556 Prepend it to all error messages.
1558 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1559 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1560 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1561 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1562 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1563 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1565 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1567 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1568 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1569 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1570 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1571 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1572 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1573 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1574 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1575 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1576 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1577 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1578 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1579 rather than in the middle.
1580 * tests/exeext.test: Call `set -e' just after the inclusion of
1581 `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1582 * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.
1583 * tests/confdeps.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `mv -f' over
1584 plain `mv', just to be sure.
1585 * tests/depcomp.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1586 changes. Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
1587 * tests/cond9.test: Likewise. Also, rely on the `configure.in'
1588 stub created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.

1591 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
1592 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
1593 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
1594 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1595 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1596 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1597 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1598 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
1599 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
1601 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1602 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1619 * tests/acsilent.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
1620 command substitution.
1621 * tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
1622 command substitution.
1623 * tests/version.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1624 in the generated `configure.in'.
1625 * tests/version2.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1626 in the generated `configure.in'.
1628 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1630 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
1631 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
1632 the verbose log contains all output.
1633 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
1634 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
1636 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1638 Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).

1648 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1650 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1651 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1652 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1653 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1654 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1655 known extension EXT.
1657 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1724 an excerpt from the original bug report which motivated the
1725 creation of this test, to make its purpose clearer.
1727 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1729 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1730 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1731 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1732 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
1733 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
1734 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
1735 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
1737 Report by Christina Gratorp.
1741 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1743 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1744 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1745 output produced by `make'.
1746 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1748 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1749 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1750 output produced by `make'.
1751 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
1752 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
1753 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1754 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1755 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1757 Improved test silent5.test.
1758 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1759 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1760 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1761 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1762 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1763 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1765 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1766 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1767 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1768 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1770 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
1771 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
1772 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1774 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
1775 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
1776 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1778 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1779 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1780 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1782 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1783 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1784 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1785 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
1786 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.

1792 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1794 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1795 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1796 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1797 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1799 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1800 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1801 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1802 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1803 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1804 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1805 dependencies are enabled.
1806 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1807 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1808 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1809 dependency tracking.
1810 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1811 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1812 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1814 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1816 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1817 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1818 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1819 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1820 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1822 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1824 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1825 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1826 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1827 double-quotes and backquotes.
1829 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1831 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1833 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1834 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1835 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1836 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1837 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1838 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1839 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1842 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1844 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1845 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1846 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1848 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1849 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1850 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1853 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1855 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1856 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1857 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1859 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1860 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1861 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1863 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1864 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1865 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1866 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1867 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1869 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1872 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1873 missing closing parenthesis.
1875 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1876 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1877 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1879 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1881 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1882 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1885 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1887 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1888 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1889 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1890 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1893 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1895 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1896 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1897 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1898 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1899 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1901 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1902 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1903 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1905 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1906 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1907 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1908 Also, bumped copyright years.
1910 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1912 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1913 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1914 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1916 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1917 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1918 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1919 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1921 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1923 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1924 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1925 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1926 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1927 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1928 cause the whole test to fail.
1930 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1932 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1933 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1934 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1936 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1938 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1939 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1940 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1941 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
1943 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1945 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
1946 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
1948 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
1949 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
1952 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1954 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1955 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1956 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1957 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1958 and unstable exit status values.
1959 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
1960 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
1961 $warnings_are_errors.
1962 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
1963 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1966 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1968 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1969 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
