3 depcomp: fix bugs in tests and in the depcomp script
4 * lib/depcomp (gcc): Remove duplicated `-e' from sed invocation.
5 * tests/depcomp10.test: Make it executable. Fix a blunder that
6 has left part of an intended comment not prefixed by `#', thus
7 causing shell syntax errors. In this same comment, break a
8 too-long reported error message on multiple lines, for clarity.
9 Add reference to the relevant bug report. Add a comment which
10 explains why the test result 'skipped' if the first "make" call
11 fails. Add other useful comments.
12 * tests/depcomp9.test: Slightly improve comments.

26 test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
27 The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
28 cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does
29 print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
32 javac: no source files
33 Usage: javac <options> <source files>
35 Luckily, adding the `-help' option to the `javac' invocation
36 seems to fix this problem.
37 * tests/defs.in (javac): Pass also the `-help' option to the
38 `javac' program. Add a comment explaining why it is needed.
39 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.

140 maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
141 The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
142 the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can
143 cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious
144 error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
145 builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').
146 See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a.
147 This change add a maintainer check that warns about test names
148 which are possibly problematic in this regard.
149 * Makefile.am (sc_test_names): New maintainer-check target.
150 (syntax_check_rules): Add it.
151 (m4_builtins): New helper variable.
152 (TESTS): Updated according to the following renamings.

165 * tests/alloca.test: Make grepping of automake stderr stricter,
166 add a trailing `:' command; also, add AC_PROG_CC to configure.in,
167 and create a dummy alloca.c file, to ensure that we fail for the
169 * tests/alloca2.test: Likewise. Also, look for LT_INIT, not
170 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, in the error message (bug introduced with commit

177 tests: fix bug (comments-in-var-defn.test + autoconf 2.62)
178 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: The configure.in stub created
179 by default, which has the AC_INIT first argument obtained by the
180 test name, causes autoconf 2.62 to fail with a spurious error
181 message like: "configure.in:1: error: defn: undefined macro:".
182 Thus, to prevent this, the test is renamed to ...
183 * tests/comments-in-var-def.test: ... this.

201 to unindent without using a temporary file.
203 2011-02-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
205 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
206 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
207 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
208 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
209 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
210 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
211 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
212 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
213 * libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to macro
214 AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does
215 not fail for the wrong reasons.
216 * ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool support
217 works with LT_INIT-based interface.
218 Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.

222 tests: tempdirs with restrictive permissions are cleaned correctly
223 Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory
224 containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as
225 'r--r--r--') could fail.
226 * tests/defs: Ensure that all the subdirectories of a temporary

499 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
500 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
501 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
502 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.

511 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
512 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
513 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
514 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
515 so they have been moved ...
516 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
517 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
518 trailing `:' command.
519 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated

523 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
524 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
525 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
526 minor cosmetic improvements.
527 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
528 trailing `:' command.

645 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
646 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
647 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more

699 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
700 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
701 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
702 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
703 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
704 tests that force gcc depmode.
705 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
706 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
707 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
708 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

819 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
820 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
821 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
822 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
823 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
824 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
825 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
826 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
829 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
831 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
832 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
833 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
834 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
835 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
836 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
837 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
838 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
840 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
842 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.

845 are not part of the Automake API.
847 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
849 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.

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

872 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
874 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
875 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
876 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
877 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
878 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
879 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
880 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
881 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
882 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
883 Reported by Andy Wingo.

890 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
891 of test `vala2.test'.
893 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
895 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
896 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of

900 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
901 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
903 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
904 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
905 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
906 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.

932 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
933 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
934 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."

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

978 2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
980 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
981 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
982 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
983 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
984 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
985 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
986 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
987 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
988 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
989 `--version' take precedence on the other options.

1117 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
1118 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
1119 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in

1128 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
1129 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
1130 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'

1252 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from

1359 accordingly to "TODO" comments.

1449 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1450 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make

1532 Prompted by suggestion from Stefano Lattarini.
1534 Fix AM_COND_IF for gone-invalid condition shell expression.

1536 variable, rather than re-evaluating the shell expression for
1538 * tests/cond40.test: Extend test.
1541 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1542 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty
1543 to avoid shell syntax error if the m4 expansion is empty.
1544 * tests/cond40.test: Enhance test.

1547 * tests/init2.test: New test.
1548 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1550 2010-07-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1552 Modernize and improve test scripts `subdir*.test'.
1553 * tests/subdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1554 changes. Use the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs',
1555 rather than writing one from scratch.
1556 * tests/subdir2.test: Likewise.
1557 * tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
1558 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1559 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1560 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
1561 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1562 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1563 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1564 `subdir5.test' here).
1565 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.
1566 * tests/subdir9.test: Define and use new variable `$distdir'. Add
1567 trailing `:' command.
1568 * tests/subdir10.test: Cosmetic consistency-related change.
1569 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
1570 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
1571 it from scratch. Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
1572 autoconf/automake macros.
1574 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1575 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1576 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1577 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
1578 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
1579 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.

1597 checking of the generated tarball.
1598 (configure.in): Use the stub provided by ./defs, instead of
1599 writing it from scratch. Avoid obsoleted constructs. Remove
1600 useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.
1601 * tests/distdir.test: Various minor improvements/normalizations.
1602 * tests/distlinks.test: Likewise.
1604 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1606 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1607 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1608 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1609 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1610 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1611 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1612 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1614 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1615 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1616 writing one from scratch.

1628 home page and GNU general help page.
1629 * automake.in (usage): Likewise.
1630 * doc/automake.texi: New flag PACKAGE_BUGREPORT, to factor email
1632 (Introduction, Creating amhello, amhello Explained, Options):

1647 * tests/silent5.test: Use $EGREP, not $GREP (which is not even
1650 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1651 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1652 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1653 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1654 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1655 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1656 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

1668 2010-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1670 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1671 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1672 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1674 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1676 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1677 `make dist' to fail.

1689 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1690 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1691 declaration, to please compilers.
1693 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1695 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1696 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1697 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1698 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1699 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1700 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1703 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1704 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1705 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1706 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1708 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.

1728 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1729 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1730 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1731 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1732 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1733 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1734 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
1735 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the

1751 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1752 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1754 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.

1779 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1780 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1781 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1783 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1784 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1785 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1786 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1787 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1788 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1806 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1807 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1864 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1866 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1867 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1868 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in

1885 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1886 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1887 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1888 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.

1922 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1923 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.

1926 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1927 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1975 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1976 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1977 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1978 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1979 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each

2060 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
2062 Report by Christina Gratorp.
2066 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2068 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
2069 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
2070 output produced by `make'.
2071 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
2073 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
2074 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
2075 output produced by `make'.

2077 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
2078 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
2079 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
2080 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
2082 Improved test silent5.test.
2083 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
2084 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
2085 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
2086 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
2087 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
2088 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
2090 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
2091 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
2092 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
2093 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2095 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
2096 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
2097 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2099 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
2100 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
2101 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2103 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
2104 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
2105 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2107 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
2108 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
2109 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
2110 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).

2117 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2119 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
2120 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
2121 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
2122 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
2124 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
2125 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
2126 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
2127 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
2128 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
2129 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
2130 dependencies are enabled.
2131 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
2132 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
2133 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
2134 dependency tracking.
2135 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2136 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2137 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
2139 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2141 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
2142 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
2143 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
2144 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
2145 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
2147 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2149 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
2150 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
2151 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
2152 double-quotes and backquotes.
2154 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
2156 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2158 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
2159 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
2160 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
2161 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
2162 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
2163 eliminate such inconsistencies.
2164 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
2167 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2169 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
2170 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
2171 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
2173 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
2174 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
2175 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
2178 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2180 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2181 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2182 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2184 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
2185 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
2186 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
2188 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2189 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
2190 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
2191 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
2192 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
2194 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2197 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
2198 missing closing parenthesis.
2200 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
2201 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2202 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2204 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2206 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2207 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2210 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2212 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2213 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2214 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2215 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2218 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2220 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2221 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2222 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2223 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2224 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2226 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2227 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2228 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2230 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2231 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2232 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2233 Also, bumped copyright years.
2235 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2237 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2238 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2239 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2241 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2242 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2243 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2244 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2246 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2248 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2249 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2250 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2251 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2252 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2253 cause the whole test to fail.
2255 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2257 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2258 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2259 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2261 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2263 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2264 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2265 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2266 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2268 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2270 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2271 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2273 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2274 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2277 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2279 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2280 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2281 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2282 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2283 and unstable exit status values.
2284 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2285 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2286 $warnings_are_errors.
2287 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2288 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2291 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2293 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2294 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2295 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2296 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2298 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2299 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2300 succeds unexpectedly.
2302 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2303 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2304 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2305 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2307 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2309 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2310 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2311 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2312 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2314 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2316 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2317 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2318 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2321 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2322 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2323 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2324 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2327 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2329 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2330 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2331 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2332 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2334 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2336 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2337 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2340 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2342 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2343 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2344 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2345 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2346 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2348 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2349 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2351 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2352 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2353 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2354 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2355 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2356 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2357 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2358 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2360 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2362 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2363 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').

2371 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Likewise.
2372 * tests/parallel-tests10.test: Likewise.
2373 * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"):
2374 Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
2375 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
2376 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
2378 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2380 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
2381 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
2382 already unset in the `defs' file.
2383 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
2384 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.

2395 2010-02-22 Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>
2397 Improve help message of mdate-sh.
2398 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
2400 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2402 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2403 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2404 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2406 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
2408 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2410 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.

2416 EXTRA_DIST when $builddir != $srcdir.
2417 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2418 Necessity of these new tests suggested by Braden McDaniel
2419 and Ralf Wildenhues.

2429 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
2430 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
2431 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to
2433 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_pre): Use `exit 143' in signal handler.
2434 * lib/elisp-comp: Likewise.
2435 * lib/install-sh: Likewise.
2436 * lib/ylwrap: Likewise. Also, fix script to trap signal 13, not 3.

2453 Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
2454 * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
2455 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
2456 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
2458 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
2460 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
2461 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls
