3 tests: fix spurious failure in a test on TESTS (VPATH-related)
4 * check-tests-in-builddir.test: When not using the parallel-tests
5 option, do not check that VPATH components are not present in the
6 displayed test name, since the simple-tests driver do not try to
9 2011-02-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
11 tests: tweak few tests on simple and parallel test drivers
12 * tests/check-exported-srcdir.test: Improve heading comments.
13 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: Likewise. Also, unset the
14 `FOO_EXIT_STATUS' variable, so that any pre-existing value in the
15 environment won't risk to interfere with the test.
16 Suggestions by Ralf Wildenhues.
18 2011-02-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

32 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
34 2011-01-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
36 docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
37 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
38 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
39 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
40 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
41 activated when it should.
43 2011-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
45 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
46 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
47 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
48 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
49 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
51 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
53 coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags
54 * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"
55 per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects.
56 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
57 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
59 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

69 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
70 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
71 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
72 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.

78 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
79 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
81 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
83 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
84 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
85 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
86 up its internal memory when copying this tree.

94 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
96 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
97 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
98 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
100 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
102 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
103 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
104 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
105 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
106 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
107 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

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

119 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.
120 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Remove a previously existing
121 conftest.dir before recreating it.
123 Report by Eric Blake, from report by Scott McCreary against M4.

129 be turned unreadable.
131 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
133 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
134 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
135 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
136 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
138 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
140 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test
141 * tests/cond36.test ($required): Remove.

147 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
148 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
149 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
150 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
151 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
152 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

157 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
159 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
160 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
161 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
163 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
165 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
166 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
167 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
168 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
169 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
170 Report by Stefano Lattarini.

179 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
180 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
181 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
182 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
184 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
186 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
188 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
189 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
190 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
191 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.
192 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Add stub files.
193 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
194 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.

221 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL
222 * tests/txinfo5b.test: New test, like txinfo5.test but calling
223 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
224 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
225 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.
226 * tests/Makefile.am (TEST): Updated.
228 2011-01-09 Dave Hart <davehart@gmail.com> (tiny change)

231 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typo.
233 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
235 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
236 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
237 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
238 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
239 uselessly run it in a subshell.
240 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
241 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
242 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
244 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
246 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
247 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
248 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
249 Makefile.in stricter.
250 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
251 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
253 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
254 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
255 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
256 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
257 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
258 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
259 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
260 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
261 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
262 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
263 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
264 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
265 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
266 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
267 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
268 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
269 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
270 so they have been moved ...
271 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
272 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
273 trailing `:' command.
274 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
275 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
276 append to configure.in.
277 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
278 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
279 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
280 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
281 minor cosmetic improvements.
282 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
283 trailing `:' command.
284 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
285 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.

307 2011-01-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
309 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
310 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to
311 also check for the deleted header bug. If no dependency
312 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
313 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.
315 Fix typos in Rule.pm comments.

318 docs: split 'amhello Explained' node.
319 * doc/automake.texi (amhello Explained): Split node ...

343 couples (such as `lib_PROGRAMS' or `doc_LIBRARIES').
345 2011-01-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

379 Fix two spurious testsuite failures on IRIX 6.5.

389 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
390 * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
391 the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
392 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
393 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
395 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
397 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
398 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
399 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
400 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
401 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
402 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
403 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:

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

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

537 Sync config-ml.in from GCC.
538 * config-ml.in: Add Go support: treat GOC and GOCFLAGS like other
539 compiler/flag environment variables.
541 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
543 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
544 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
546 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
547 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
548 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
551 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
552 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
553 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both

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

572 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
574 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
575 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
576 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
577 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
578 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
579 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
580 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
581 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
584 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
586 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
587 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
588 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
589 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
590 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
591 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
592 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
593 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
595 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
597 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
598 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
599 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
600 are not part of the Automake API.
602 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
604 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
605 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
606 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
608 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
610 Rebuild menus in the manual.
611 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
612 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
614 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
615 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use

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

625 Found by NixOS Hydra.
627 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
629 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
630 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
631 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
632 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
633 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
634 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
635 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
636 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
637 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
638 Reported by Andy Wingo.
640 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
642 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
643 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
644 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
645 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
646 of test `vala2.test'.
648 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
650 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
651 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
652 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
654 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
655 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
656 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
658 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
659 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
660 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
661 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
662 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
664 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
666 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
668 Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.

670 (Introduction): Refer to it.
672 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
674 Add support for newer python versions.
675 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to

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

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

708 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
709 are expanded before rules.
710 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
711 get matched as a rule.
712 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
714 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
716 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
717 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
718 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

733 2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
735 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
736 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
737 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
738 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
739 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
740 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
741 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
742 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
743 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
744 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
745 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
746 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
748 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

753 * tests/compile2.test: Do no uselessly (implicitly) repeat the
754 computation of PATH_SEPARATOR again.

777 Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used.
778 * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'
779 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
780 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
781 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
782 `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private

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

812 * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years.
814 2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
816 Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
817 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
818 `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which
819 seems to have been removed, substituted by multiple release

860 2010-09-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
862 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
863 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
864 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
865 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
867 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
868 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
870 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
872 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
873 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
874 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
876 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
877 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
878 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
879 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
881 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
882 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
883 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
884 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
885 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'
886 and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.
887 (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'.
888 * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command.

902 substitution %MAKEFILE%.
903 (generate_makefile): Adjust.
904 * lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (check-TESTS): Pass

916 Fix bug in test missing6.test.
917 * tests/missing6.test: Fix the hack used to edit `configure.in',
918 to avoid producing a configure script that breaks with shells
919 that do not support $LINENO. Also throw in a couple of cosmetic
922 2010-08-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
924 Improve robustness of mdate-sh script.
925 * lib/mdate-sh: Sanitize zsh behavior on startup, to ensure
926 $ls_command is word-split properly upon invocation.
927 (error): New function.
928 (main): Use it. Improve error checking to avoid endless loop
929 in case $ls_command gave bogus output. Fix eval quotation.
930 * tests/mdate6.test: New test, to expose eval quotation error.
931 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
933 2010-08-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

941 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
943 Docs: clarify how to avoid automatic dependencies tracking.
944 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that
945 automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that
946 the package developer can disable it altogether. Add a reference
947 to the proper section for a more in-depth explanation.
949 Fix typo in manual (`Makefile.in' instead of `Makefile.am').
950 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Fix typo.
952 2010-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
954 Don't hide the table of contents.

962 * tests/aclocal.test: Likewise. Also, add trailing `:'
964 * tests/acloca19.test: Likewise.
965 * tests/aclocal5.test: Add trailing `:' command, and prefer
966 `$me' over hard-coded test name.
967 * tests/aclocal6.test: Likewise.
968 * tests/aclocal18.test: Add trailing `:' command, and make
969 some grepping slightly stricter.
970 * tests/acloca14.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `diff' over
971 `cmp', and add some "cosmetic" blank lines.
973 2010-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
975 Tweak and extend tests `pr[!0-9]*.test'.
976 * tests/primary3.test: Add trailing `:' command.
977 * tests/primary.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
978 Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.
979 * tests/primary2.test: Likewise.
980 * tests/prefix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
981 changes. Add a trailing `:' command.

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

1016 changes. Add a trailing `:' command. Also, do not create dummy
1017 files required by "gnu" mode (e.g. README, NEWS), since we run
1018 automake in foreign mode anyway.

1119 rather than writing one from scratch, and do not call AC_OUTPUT.
1120 Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related changes. Prefer diff over
1121 cmp to compare text files. Prefer perl over sed to fetch the value
1122 of $(DIST_COMMON) from Makefile.in. Make grepping of the contents
1123 of $(DIST_COMMON) stricter.

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

1204 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1205 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1206 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1207 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1208 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1209 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1226 `eval' builtin. Fixed a botched error message. Removed an
1229 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1230 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1231 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1233 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.

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

1305 2010-07-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1307 Modernize and improve test scripts `subdir*.test'.
1308 * tests/subdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related

1319 `subdir5.test' here).
1320 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.

1324 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
1325 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
1326 it from scratch. Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
1327 autoconf/automake macros.
1329 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1330 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1331 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1332 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
1333 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
1334 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
1335 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a

1359 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1361 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1362 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1363 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1364 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1365 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1366 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1367 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1369 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1370 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1371 writing one from scratch.

1405 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1406 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1407 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1408 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1409 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1410 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1411 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

1423 2010-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1425 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1426 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1427 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1429 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1431 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1432 `make dist' to fail.

1443 * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
1444 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1445 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1446 declaration, to please compilers.
1448 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1450 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1451 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1452 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1453 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1454 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1455 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1458 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1459 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1460 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1461 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1463 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.

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

1503 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1505 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1506 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1507 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1509 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.

1524 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1525 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1526 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
1527 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
1528 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
1529 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1530 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1531 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1532 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1533 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1534 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1535 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1536 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to

1539 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1540 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

1542 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1543 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1555 here-doc, not using echo.
1556 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1557 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1558 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1559 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1561 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1562 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1619 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1621 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.

1623 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1624 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1626 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1628 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.

1636 Prepend it to all error messages.
1638 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1639 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1640 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1641 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1642 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1643 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1645 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1647 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1648 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1649 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1650 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1651 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1652 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1653 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1654 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1655 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1656 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1657 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1658 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,

1676 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1677 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1678 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.

1730 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1731 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1732 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1733 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1734 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1735 known extension EXT.

1809 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1810 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1811 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1812 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):

1817 Report by Christina Gratorp.
1821 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1823 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1824 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the

1837 Improved test silent5.test.
1838 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1839 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1840 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1841 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1842 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1843 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1845 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1846 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1847 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.

1860 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1862 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1863 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if

1874 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1875 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1876 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1877 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1879 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1880 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1881 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1882 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1883 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1884 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1885 dependencies are enabled.
1886 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1887 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1888 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1889 dependency tracking.
1890 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1891 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1892 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1894 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1896 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1897 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1898 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1899 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1900 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1902 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1904 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1905 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1906 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1907 double-quotes and backquotes.
1909 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1911 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1913 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1914 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1915 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1916 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1917 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1918 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1919 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1922 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1924 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.

1928 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1929 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1930 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1933 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1935 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1936 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1937 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1939 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1940 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1941 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1943 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1944 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1945 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1946 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1947 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1949 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1952 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1953 missing closing parenthesis.
1955 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1956 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1957 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1959 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1961 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1962 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1965 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1967 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1968 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1969 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1970 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1973 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1975 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1976 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1977 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1978 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1979 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1981 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1982 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1983 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1985 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1986 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1987 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1988 Also, bumped copyright years.
1990 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1992 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1993 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1994 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1996 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1997 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1998 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1999 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2001 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2003 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2004 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2005 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2006 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2007 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2008 cause the whole test to fail.
2010 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2012 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2013 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2014 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2016 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2018 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2019 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2020 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2021 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2023 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2025 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2026 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2028 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2029 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2032 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2034 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2035 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2036 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2037 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2038 and unstable exit status values.
2039 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2040 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2041 $warnings_are_errors.
2042 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2043 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2046 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2048 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2049 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2050 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2051 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2053 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2054 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2055 succeds unexpectedly.
2057 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2058 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2059 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2060 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2062 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2064 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2065 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2066 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2067 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2069 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2071 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2072 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2073 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2076 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2077 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2078 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2079 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2082 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2084 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2085 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2086 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2087 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2089 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2091 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2092 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2095 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2097 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2098 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2099 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2100 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2101 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2103 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2104 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2106 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2107 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2108 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2109 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2110 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2111 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2112 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2113 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2115 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2117 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2118 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
2119 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
2120 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
2121 * tests/parallel-tests4.test: Likewise.

2131 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
2133 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2135 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
2136 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
2137 already unset in the `defs' file.
2138 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
2139 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.

2153 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
2155 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2157 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2158 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2159 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2161 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
2163 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2165 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
2166 * tests/extra10.test: New test, check basic support of wildcards

2184 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
2185 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
2186 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to
