3 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
4 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
5 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
6 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.
8 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
10 Fix two spurious testsuite failures on IRIX 6.5.
11 * tests/suffix13.test (Makefile.am): Account for VPATH issues on
12 weaker make implementations (e.g. IRIX 6.5).
13 * tests/parallel-tests8.test: Likewise, plus a required related
15 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues. The bugs have been there from the
16 first versions of the affected test scripts.
18 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
20 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
21 * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
22 the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
23 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
24 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
26 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
28 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
29 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
30 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
31 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
32 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
33 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
34 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
35 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

40 2010-12-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
42 Fix sed-related buglet in test "subdir5.test"
43 * tests/subdir5.test: Always terminate text passed to the
44 `i' sed command with a newline, to work around limitations
45 in e.g. older OpenBSD sed.
47 2010-12-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
49 docs: fix blunder in example about python extension modules
50 * doc/automake.texi (Python): Use `quaternion_la_SOURCES',
51 not `quaternion_SOURCES', to declare the sources of python
52 extension module `quaternion.la'.
54 2010-12-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
56 docs: list LTLIBRARIES among Automake primaries

76 2010-12-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
78 Avoid running installed automake from 'libtool --help'.
79 * tests/subobj9.test: Export AUTOCONF and AUTOMAKE.
80 Together with fixed Libtool, this fixes check-coverage to not
81 invoke installed automake.
83 2010-11-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
85 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
86 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
87 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
88 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
89 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
90 tests that force gcc depmode.
91 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
92 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
93 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
94 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
96 * silentlex.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
97 * silent-lex-generic.test, silent-lex-gcc.test: ... these new
98 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

102 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
104 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
106 2010-11-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

166 2010-11-19 Ian Lance Taylor <iant@google.com>
168 Sync config-ml.in from GCC.

170 compiler/flag environment variables.
172 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
174 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
175 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
177 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
178 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
179 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
182 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
183 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
184 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both
187 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
189 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
190 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
191 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to
192 avoid spurious failures. Add a trailing `:' command.
193 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
195 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
197 Fix spurious failures of silent5.test with Sun Fortran.
198 * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
199 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,
200 to avoid spurious failures. This bug has been there from the
201 very first version of this test script.
203 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
205 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
206 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
207 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
208 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
209 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
210 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
211 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
212 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
215 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
217 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
218 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
219 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
220 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
221 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
222 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
223 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
224 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
226 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
228 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
229 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
230 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
231 are not part of the Automake API.
233 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
235 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
236 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
237 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
239 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
241 Rebuild menus in the manual.
242 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
243 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
245 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
246 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
247 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
248 to fix quoting issues.
249 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
250 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.
252 2010-11-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
254 Fix yaccdry.test failure: require bison.
255 * tests/yaccdry.test: Require bison.
256 Found by NixOS Hydra.
258 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
260 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
261 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
262 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
263 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
264 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
265 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
266 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
267 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
268 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
269 Reported by Andy Wingo.
271 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
273 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
274 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
275 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
276 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
277 of test `vala2.test'.
279 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
281 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
282 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
283 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
285 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
286 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
287 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
289 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
290 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
291 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
292 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
293 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
295 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
297 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
299 Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.
300 * doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
301 (Introduction): Refer to it.
303 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
305 Add support for newer python versions.
306 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
307 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
308 line and fix indentation.
310 From a report by Thomas Klausner.
312 Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
313 * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
314 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
316 Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
317 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
318 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
319 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
320 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
321 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
322 please maintainer-check.
323 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
325 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
326 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
328 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
329 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
330 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
331 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
332 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
333 * tests/help3.test: Likewise.
334 * tests/help4.test: Likewise.
336 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
338 Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
339 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
340 are expanded before rules.
341 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
342 get matched as a rule.
343 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
345 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
347 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
348 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
349 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

359 input to $(MAKE), to avoid exceeding the command line limit on
362 Report by Bob Friesenhahn.
364 2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
366 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
367 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
368 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
369 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
370 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
371 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
372 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
373 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
374 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
375 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
376 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
377 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
379 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
381 2010-09-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
383 Testsuite: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when extending PATH.
384 * tests/compile2.test: Do no uselessly (implicitly) repeat the
385 computation of PATH_SEPARATOR again.

406 2010-09-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
408 Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used.
409 * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'
410 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
411 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
412 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
413 `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private

416 the version control system used.
418 Manual: index refer to target "git-dist", not "cvs-dist".
419 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Index the non-standard
420 example about "git-dist" under the "git-dist" label, not under
423 Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".
424 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's
425 git repository" rather than to "Automake's CVS repository".
426 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Likewise.
427 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.

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

443 * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years.
445 2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
447 Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
448 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site

491 2010-09-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
493 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
494 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
495 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
496 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
498 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
499 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
501 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
503 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
504 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
505 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
507 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".

512 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
513 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
514 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
515 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
516 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'

634 * tests/pr224.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
635 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
636 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
637 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
638 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from

745 accordingly to "TODO" comments.

799 statement required by OpenBSD's sh `set -e' more robust, and add
800 explanatory comments to it.

958 autoconf/automake macros.
960 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
961 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
962 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
963 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
964 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
965 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
966 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a

990 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
992 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
993 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
994 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
995 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
996 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
997 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).

1116 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1117 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1118 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1119 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1120 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.

1137 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1138 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.

1165 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'

1170 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1171 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

1189 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1190 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1192 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1193 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1272 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1273 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1274 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.

1363 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1364 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1365 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1366 known extension EXT.

1485 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
1486 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
1487 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1489 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1490 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1491 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1493 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1494 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1495 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1496 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
1497 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
1498 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
1499 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
1500 * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
1501 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1503 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1505 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1506 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1507 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1508 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1510 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1511 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1512 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1513 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1514 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1515 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1516 dependencies are enabled.
1517 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1518 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1519 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1520 dependency tracking.
1521 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1522 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1523 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1525 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1527 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1528 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1529 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1530 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1531 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1533 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1535 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1536 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1537 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1538 double-quotes and backquotes.
1540 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1542 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1544 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1545 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1546 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1547 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1548 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1549 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1550 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1553 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1555 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1556 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1557 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1559 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1560 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1561 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1564 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1566 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1567 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1568 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1570 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1571 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1572 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1574 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1575 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1576 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1577 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1578 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1580 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1583 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1584 missing closing parenthesis.
1586 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1587 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1588 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1590 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1592 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1593 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1596 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1598 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1599 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1600 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1601 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1604 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1606 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1607 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1608 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1609 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1610 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1612 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1613 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1614 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1616 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1617 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1618 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1619 Also, bumped copyright years.
1621 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1623 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1624 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1625 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1627 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1628 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1629 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1630 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1632 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1634 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1635 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1636 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1637 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1638 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1639 cause the whole test to fail.
1641 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1643 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1644 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1645 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1647 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1649 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1650 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1651 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1652 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
1654 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1656 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
1657 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
1659 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
1660 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
1663 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1665 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1666 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1667 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1668 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1669 and unstable exit status values.
1670 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
1671 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
1672 $warnings_are_errors.
1673 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
1674 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1677 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1679 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1680 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
1681 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
1682 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1684 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
1685 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
1686 succeds unexpectedly.
1688 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
1689 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
1690 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1691 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
1693 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1695 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
1696 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
1697 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1698 Report by Pavel Sanda.
1700 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1702 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
1703 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
1704 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
1707 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
1708 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
1709 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
1710 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
1713 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1715 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
1716 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
1717 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
1718 Suggested by Karl Berry.
1720 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
1722 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
1723 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
1726 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1728 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
1729 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
1730 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
1731 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
1732 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
1734 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1735 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1737 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
1738 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
1739 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
1740 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
1741 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
1742 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
1743 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
1744 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
1746 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
1748 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
1749 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
1750 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
1751 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.

1758 * tests/parallel-tests10.test: Likewise.
1759 * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"):
1760 Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
1761 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
1762 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
1764 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1766 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
1767 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
1768 already unset in the `defs' file.
1769 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
1770 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.

1783 Improve help message of mdate-sh.
1784 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
1786 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1788 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
1789 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
1790 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
1792 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
1794 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1796 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
1797 * tests/extra10.test: New test, check basic support of wildcards
1799 * tests/extra11.test: New test, check more complex usage of
1800 wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.

1815 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
1816 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
1817 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to
1819 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_pre): Use `exit 143' in signal handler.
1820 * lib/elisp-comp: Likewise.
1821 * lib/install-sh: Likewise.
1822 * lib/ylwrap: Likewise. Also, fix script to trap signal 13, not 3.

1839 Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
1840 * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
1841 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
1842 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
1844 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
1846 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
1847 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls
1848 to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and remove explicit definition of
1849 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
1850 Updated copyright years.
1851 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
1853 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
1854 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the
1855 filesystem, which were erroneously left out from $(TESTS):
1856 acoutbs2.test, badopt.test, extra2.test.
1857 (XFAIL_TESTS): Added acoutbs2.test.
1859 2010-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
