79 test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
80 The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
81 cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does
82 print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
85 javac: no source files
86 Usage: javac <options> <source files>
88 Luckily, adding the `-help' option to the `javac' invocation
89 seems to fix this problem.
90 * tests/defs.in (javac): Pass also the `-help' option to the
91 `javac' program. Add a comment explaining why it is needed.

193 maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
194 The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
195 the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can
196 cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious
197 error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
198 builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').
199 See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a.
200 This change add a maintainer check that warns about test names
201 which are possibly problematic in this regard.
202 * Makefile.am (sc_test_names): New maintainer-check target.
203 (syntax_check_rules): Add it.
204 (m4_builtins): New helper variable.
205 (TESTS): Updated according to the following renamings.

219 add a trailing `:' command; also, add AC_PROG_CC to configure.in,
220 and create a dummy alloca.c file, to ensure that we fail for the

230 tests: fix bug (comments-in-var-defn.test + autoconf 2.62)
231 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: The configure.in stub created
232 by default, which has the AC_INIT first argument obtained by the
233 test name, causes autoconf 2.62 to fail with a spurious error
234 message like: "configure.in:1: error: defn: undefined macro:".

258 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
259 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
260 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
261 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
262 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
263 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
264 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
265 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
266 * libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to macro
267 AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does
268 not fail for the wrong reasons.
269 * ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool support
270 works with LT_INIT-based interface.

519 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL
520 * tests/txinfo5b.test: New test, like txinfo5.test but calling
521 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
522 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
523 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.
524 * tests/Makefile.am (TEST): Updated.
526 2011-01-09 Dave Hart <davehart@gmail.com> (tiny change)
528 Fix another typo in Rule.pm comment.
529 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typo.
531 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
533 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
534 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
535 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
536 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
537 uselessly run it in a subshell.
538 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
539 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
540 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
542 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
544 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
545 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
546 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
547 Makefile.in stricter.
548 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
549 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
551 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
552 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
553 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
554 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
555 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
556 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
557 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
558 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
559 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
560 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
561 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
562 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
563 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
564 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
565 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
566 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
567 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
568 so they have been moved ...
569 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
570 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
571 trailing `:' command.
572 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
573 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
574 append to configure.in.
575 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
576 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
577 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
578 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
579 minor cosmetic improvements.
580 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
581 trailing `:' command.
582 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
583 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.
584 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

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

690 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
691 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
693 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
695 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
696 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
697 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
698 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
699 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
700 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
701 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
702 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

750 2010-11-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
752 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
753 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
754 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
755 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
756 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
757 tests that force gcc depmode.
758 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
759 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
760 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
761 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
763 * silentlex.test: Test removed, its content split into ...

870 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
872 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
873 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
874 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
875 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
876 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
877 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
878 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
879 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
882 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
884 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
885 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
886 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
887 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
888 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
889 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
890 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
891 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
893 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
895 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
896 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
897 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
898 are not part of the Automake API.
900 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
902 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
903 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
904 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
906 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
908 Rebuild menus in the manual.
909 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
910 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
912 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
913 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
914 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),

923 Found by NixOS Hydra.
925 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
927 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
928 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
929 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
930 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
931 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
932 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
933 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
934 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
935 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
936 Reported by Andy Wingo.
938 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
940 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
941 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
942 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
943 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
944 of test `vala2.test'.
946 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
948 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
949 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
950 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
952 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
953 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
954 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
956 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
957 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
958 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
959 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
960 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
962 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
964 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
966 Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.

968 (Introduction): Refer to it.
970 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
972 Add support for newer python versions.
973 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
974 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
975 line and fix indentation.
977 From a report by Thomas Klausner.
979 Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
980 * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
981 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
983 Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
984 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
985 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
986 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
987 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
988 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
989 please maintainer-check.

992 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
993 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
995 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
996 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
997 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
998 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
999 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.

1003 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1005 Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
1006 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
1007 are expanded before rules.
1008 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
1009 get matched as a rule.
1010 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
1012 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1014 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."

1033 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
1034 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
1035 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
1036 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on

1086 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Index the non-standard
1087 example about "git-dist" under the "git-dist" label, not under
1090 Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".

1104 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
1105 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or

1170 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
1171 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
1172 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in

1180 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
1181 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
1182 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
1183 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'
1184 and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.
1185 (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'.
1186 * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command.

1267 some grepping slightly stricter.

1352 * tests/condd.test: Add trailing `:' command. Typofix in
1354 * tests/condhook.test: Make sure target `install-data-hook' is
1355 not called by `make install', but that data files are installed.

1373 a useless dummy file. Add trailing `:' command.
1374 * tests/colon4.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and
1375 related changes. Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by

1409 disabled test (which didn't work with autoconf <= 2.59, but now we
1410 are requiring autoconf 2.62, so...)
1411 * tests/conflnk4.test: Cosmetic changes, and extend existing tests
1412 accordingly to "TODO" comments.
1413 * tests/conff2.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.

1502 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1503 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1504 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1505 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1506 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1507 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1585 Prompted by suggestion from Stefano Lattarini.
1587 Fix AM_COND_IF for gone-invalid condition shell expression.
1588 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): test contents of $COND_TRUE
1589 variable, rather than re-evaluating the shell expression for

1594 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1595 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1599 Coverage: bogus option to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
1600 * tests/init2.test: New test.
1601 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1603 2010-07-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1605 Modernize and improve test scripts `subdir*.test'.
1606 * tests/subdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1607 changes. Use the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs',

1610 * tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
1611 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1612 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1613 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
1614 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1615 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1616 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1617 `subdir5.test' here).
1618 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.

1625 autoconf/automake macros.
1627 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1628 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1629 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1630 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
1631 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
1632 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
1633 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a
1634 trailing `:' command. Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister

1652 writing it from scratch. Avoid obsoleted constructs. Remove
1653 useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.
1654 * tests/distdir.test: Various minor improvements/normalizations.
1655 * tests/distlinks.test: Likewise.
1657 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1659 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1660 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1661 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1662 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1663 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1664 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1665 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1667 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1668 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1669 writing one from scratch.

1681 home page and GNU general help page.
1682 * automake.in (usage): Likewise.

1703 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1704 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1705 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1706 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1707 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1708 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1709 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

1723 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1724 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1725 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1727 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1729 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1730 `make dist' to fail.

1742 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1743 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1744 declaration, to please compilers.
1746 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1748 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1749 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1750 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1751 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1752 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1753 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1756 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1757 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1758 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1759 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1761 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.

1778 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1779 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related

1781 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1782 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1783 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1784 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1785 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1786 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1787 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
1788 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the

1801 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1803 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1804 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1805 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1807 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
1808 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the

1830 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1831 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1832 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1833 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1834 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1836 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1837 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1838 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1839 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1840 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1841 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1856 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1857 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1859 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1860 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1917 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1919 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1920 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1921 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1922 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1924 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1926 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.

1937 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1938 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1939 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1940 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1941 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1943 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1945 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1946 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1947 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.

1949 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1950 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1951 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1952 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1953 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1954 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1955 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1956 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,

1962 plain `mv', just to be sure.
1963 * tests/depcomp.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1964 changes. Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
1965 * tests/cond9.test: Likewise. Also, rely on the `configure.in'
1966 stub created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1967 * tests/cond10.test: Likewise.
1968 * tests/depcomp2.test: Likewise.
1969 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
1970 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
1971 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
1972 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1973 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1974 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1975 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1976 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
1977 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
1979 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1980 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

2008 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
2009 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
2010 the verbose log contains all output.
2011 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
2012 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
2014 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

2028 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
2029 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
2030 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
2031 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
2032 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
2033 known extension EXT.

2119 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2121 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
2122 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
2123 output produced by `make'.
2124 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
2126 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
2127 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
2128 output produced by `make'.
2129 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
2130 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
2131 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
2132 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
2133 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
2135 Improved test silent5.test.
2136 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
2137 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
2138 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
2139 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
2140 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
2141 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
2143 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
2144 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
2145 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
2146 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2148 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
2149 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
2150 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2152 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
2153 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
2154 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2156 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
2157 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
2158 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2160 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
2161 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
2162 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
2163 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
2164 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.

2170 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2172 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
2173 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
2174 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
2175 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
2177 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
2178 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
2179 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
2180 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
2181 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
2182 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
2183 dependencies are enabled.
2184 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
2185 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
2186 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
2187 dependency tracking.
2188 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2189 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2190 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
2192 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2194 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
2195 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
2196 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
2197 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
2198 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
2200 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2202 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
2203 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
2204 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
2205 double-quotes and backquotes.
2207 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
2209 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2211 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
2212 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
2213 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
2214 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
2215 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
2216 eliminate such inconsistencies.
2217 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
2220 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2222 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
2223 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
2224 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
2226 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
2227 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
2228 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
2231 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2233 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2234 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2235 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2237 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
2238 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
2239 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
2241 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2242 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
2243 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
2244 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
2245 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
2247 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2250 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
2251 missing closing parenthesis.
2253 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
2254 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2255 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2257 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2259 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2260 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2263 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2265 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2266 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2267 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2268 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2271 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2273 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2274 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2275 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2276 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2277 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2279 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2280 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2281 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2283 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2284 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2285 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2286 Also, bumped copyright years.
2288 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2290 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2291 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2292 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2294 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2295 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2296 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2297 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2299 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2301 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2302 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2303 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2304 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2305 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2306 cause the whole test to fail.
2308 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2310 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2311 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2312 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2314 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2316 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2317 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2318 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2319 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2321 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2323 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2324 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2326 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2327 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2330 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2332 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2333 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2334 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2335 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2336 and unstable exit status values.
2337 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2338 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2339 $warnings_are_errors.
2340 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2341 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2344 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2346 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2347 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2348 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2349 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2351 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2352 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2353 succeds unexpectedly.
2355 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2356 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2357 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2358 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2360 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2362 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2363 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2364 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2365 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2367 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2369 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2370 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2371 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2374 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2375 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2376 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2377 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2380 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2382 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2383 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2384 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2385 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2387 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2389 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2390 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2393 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2395 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2396 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2397 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2398 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2399 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2401 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2402 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2404 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2405 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2406 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2407 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2408 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2409 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2410 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2411 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2413 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2415 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2416 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').

2426 * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"):
2427 Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
2428 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
2429 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
2431 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2433 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
2434 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
2435 already unset in the `defs' file.
2436 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
2437 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.

2448 2010-02-22 Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>
2450 Improve help message of mdate-sh.
2451 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
2453 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2455 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2456 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
