15 Suggestion by Jack Kelly.
17 2011-02-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
19 tests defs: clear TESTS_ENVIRONMENT variable
20 * tests/defs.in (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset it, so that values
21 from environment won't interfere with the testcases.
22 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
24 2011-02-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
26 tests: tweak few tests on simple and parallel test drivers
27 * tests/check-exported-srcdir.test: Improve heading comments.
28 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: Likewise. Also, unset the
29 `FOO_EXIT_STATUS' variable, so that any pre-existing value in the
30 environment won't risk to interfere with the test.
31 Suggestions by Ralf Wildenhues.
33 2011-02-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
35 coverage: more tests on simple and parallel test drivers

44 tests: fix spurious failures in lflags*.test
45 * tests/lflags.test: Remove 'LEX' from the environment, so
46 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
47 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
49 2011-01-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
51 docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
52 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
53 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
54 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
55 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
56 activated when it should.
58 2011-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
60 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
61 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
62 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
63 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
64 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
66 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
68 coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags
69 * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"
70 per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects.
71 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
72 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
74 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

84 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
85 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
86 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
87 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.
89 2011-01-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
91 tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
92 * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
93 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
94 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
96 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
98 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
99 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
100 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
101 up its internal memory when copying this tree.
103 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
104 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

107 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Update comment.
109 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
111 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
112 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
113 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
115 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
117 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
118 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
119 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
120 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
121 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
122 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.
124 2011-01-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
125 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
127 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
128 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
129 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
130 parallel-tests driver.
132 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
134 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.
135 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Remove a previously existing
136 conftest.dir before recreating it.
138 Report by Eric Blake, from report by Scott McCreary against M4.
140 2011-01-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
142 tests: avoid failure on w32 file systems.
143 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: SKIP if file cannot
144 be turned unreadable.
146 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
148 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
149 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
150 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
151 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
153 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
155 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test
156 * tests/cond36.test ($required): Remove.
157 Since we are at it, add a trailing `:' command.

160 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
162 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
163 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
164 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
165 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
166 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
167 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
170 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
172 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
174 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
175 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
176 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
178 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
180 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
181 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
182 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
183 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
184 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
185 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
187 2011-01-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
189 tests: fix comment typo
190 * tests/substref.test: Fix grammar in a comment.

194 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
195 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
196 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
197 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
199 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
201 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
203 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
204 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
205 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
206 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.
207 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Add stub files.
208 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
209 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.
211 2011-01-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
213 docs: clustered '-d' not recognized in YFLAGS
214 This change fixes automake bug#7828.
215 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Document that automake
216 recognizes '-d' in AM_YFLAGS only if it's not clustered with
218 From a report by Юрий Пухальский.

236 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL
237 * tests/txinfo5b.test: New test, like txinfo5.test but calling
238 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
239 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
240 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.
241 * tests/Makefile.am (TEST): Updated.
243 2011-01-09 Dave Hart <davehart@gmail.com> (tiny change)
245 Fix another typo in Rule.pm comment.
246 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typo.
248 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
250 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
251 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
252 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
253 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
254 uselessly run it in a subshell.
255 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
256 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
257 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
259 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
261 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
262 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
263 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
264 Makefile.in stricter.
265 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
266 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
268 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
269 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
270 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
271 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
272 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
273 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
274 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
275 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
276 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
277 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
278 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
279 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
280 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
281 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
282 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
283 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
284 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
285 so they have been moved ...
286 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
287 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
288 trailing `:' command.
289 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
290 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
291 append to configure.in.
292 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
293 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
294 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
295 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
296 minor cosmetic improvements.
297 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
298 trailing `:' command.
299 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
300 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.
301 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

322 2011-01-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
324 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
325 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to
326 also check for the deleted header bug. If no dependency
327 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
328 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.
330 Fix typos in Rule.pm comments.
331 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typos in comments.
333 docs: split 'amhello Explained' node.
334 * doc/automake.texi (amhello Explained): Split node ...

336 (amhello's Makefile.am Setup Explained) : ... into these two.
337 (Top, Hello World): Adjust, and add @anchor for stable URL links.

341 Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
343 docs: reference defining directories in amhello node.

355 docs: how to work around checks on invalid primary/directory couples
356 * doc/automake.texi (Uniform): Document the blessed idiom which can
357 be used to work around automake checks on invalid primary/directory
358 couples (such as `lib_PROGRAMS' or `doc_LIBRARIES').
360 2011-01-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
362 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.

394 Fix two spurious testsuite failures on IRIX 6.5.
395 * tests/suffix13.test (Makefile.am): Account for VPATH issues on
396 weaker make implementations (e.g. IRIX 6.5).
397 * tests/parallel-tests8.test: Likewise, plus a required related
399 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues. The bugs have been there from the
400 first versions of the affected test scripts.

404 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
405 * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
406 the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
407 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
408 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
410 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
412 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
413 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
414 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
415 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
416 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
417 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
418 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
419 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

426 Fix sed-related buglet in test "subdir5.test"
427 * tests/subdir5.test: Always terminate text passed to the
428 `i' sed command with a newline, to work around limitations
429 in e.g. older OpenBSD sed.
431 2010-12-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
433 docs: fix blunder in example about python extension modules

469 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
470 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
471 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
472 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
473 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
474 tests that force gcc depmode.
475 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
476 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
477 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
478 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

554 compiler/flag environment variables.
556 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
558 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
559 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
561 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
562 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
563 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
566 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
567 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
568 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both

587 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
589 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
590 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
591 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
592 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
593 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
594 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
595 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
596 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
599 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
601 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
602 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
603 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
604 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
605 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
606 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
607 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
608 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
610 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
612 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
613 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
614 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
615 are not part of the Automake API.
617 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
619 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
620 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
621 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
623 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
625 Rebuild menus in the manual.

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

642 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
644 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
645 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
646 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
647 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
648 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
649 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
650 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
651 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
652 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
653 Reported by Andy Wingo.

657 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
658 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
659 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
660 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
661 of test `vala2.test'.
663 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

666 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
667 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
669 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
670 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
671 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
673 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
674 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
675 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
676 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
677 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:

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

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

726 get matched as a rule.
727 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
729 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
731 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
732 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,

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

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

887 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.

1017 Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.
1018 * tests/pr224.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1019 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
1020 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
1021 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
1022 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
1023 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
1024 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.
1025 * tests/pr72.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
1026 changes. Extend existing checks a bit.
1027 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise. Also, avoid obsolescent constructs in

1031 changes. Add a trailing `:' command. Also, do not create dummy
1032 files required by "gnu" mode (e.g. README, NEWS), since we run
1033 automake in foreign mode anyway.
1034 * tests/pr243.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
1035 `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1036 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
1037 and add a "FIXME" comment.
1038 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch
1039 `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.
1040 * tests/pr279.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
1041 `configure.in'; also, use the `configure.in' stub created by

1124 * tests/confvar2.test: Likewise.
1125 * tests/conflnk3.test: Cosmetic changes. Re-enable a temporarily
1126 disabled test (which didn't work with autoconf <= 2.59, but now we
1127 are requiring autoconf 2.62, so...)
1128 * tests/conflnk4.test: Cosmetic changes, and extend existing tests
1129 accordingly to "TODO" comments.
1130 * tests/conff2.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
1131 Add some comments explaining why we don't use the `configure.in'
1132 stub preset be ./defs.
1133 * tests/confh.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by ./defs,
1134 rather than writing one from scratch, and do not call AC_OUTPUT.

1160 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
1161 Add a trailing `:' command.
1162 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1163 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
1164 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1165 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1166 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
1167 trailing `:' command.

1219 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1220 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1221 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1222 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1223 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.

1244 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1245 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1246 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1248 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.

1311 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1312 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1328 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1329 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1330 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
1331 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1332 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1333 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1334 `subdir5.test' here).
1335 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.
1336 * tests/subdir9.test: Define and use new variable `$distdir'. Add

1345 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1346 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.

1374 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1376 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1377 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1378 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1379 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1380 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1381 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1382 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1384 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1385 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1386 writing one from scratch.

1420 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1421 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1422 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1423 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1424 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1425 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1426 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

1440 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1441 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1442 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1444 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1446 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1447 `make dist' to fail.

1458 * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
1459 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1460 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1461 declaration, to please compilers.
1463 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1465 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1466 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1467 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1468 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1469 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1470 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1473 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1474 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1475 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1476 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1478 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
1479 * tests/yflags.test: New test, check that user $(YFLAGS) takes
1480 precedence over automake (AM_YFLAGS) and (foo_YFLAGS). Still

1498 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1499 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1500 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1501 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1502 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1503 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1504 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
1505 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the

1518 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1520 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1521 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1522 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1524 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.

1532 for the FOOTEST conditional.
1534 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1536 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.

1540 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1541 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
1542 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
1543 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
1544 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1545 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1546 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1547 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1548 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1549 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1550 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1551 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1553 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1554 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1555 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1556 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1557 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1558 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1570 here-doc, not using echo.
1571 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1572 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1573 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1574 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1576 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1577 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1636 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1637 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1638 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1639 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1641 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1643 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.

1651 Prepend it to all error messages.
1653 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1654 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1655 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1656 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1657 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1658 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1660 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1662 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1663 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1664 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.

1666 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1667 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1668 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1669 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1670 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1671 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1672 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1673 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,

1691 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1692 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1693 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.

1696 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1697 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1728 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
1729 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
1731 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1745 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1746 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1747 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1748 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1749 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1750 known extension EXT.

1824 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1825 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1826 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1827 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):

1854 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1855 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1856 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1857 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1858 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1860 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1861 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.

1875 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1877 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1878 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if

1889 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1890 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1891 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1892 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1894 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1895 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1896 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1897 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1898 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1899 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1900 dependencies are enabled.
1901 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1902 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1903 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1904 dependency tracking.
1905 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1906 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1907 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1909 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1911 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1912 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1913 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1914 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1915 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1917 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1919 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1920 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1921 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1922 double-quotes and backquotes.
1924 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1926 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1928 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1929 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1930 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1931 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1932 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1933 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1934 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1937 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1939 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1940 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1941 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1943 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1944 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1945 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1948 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1950 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1951 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1952 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1954 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1955 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1956 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1958 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1959 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1960 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1961 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1962 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1964 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1967 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1968 missing closing parenthesis.
1970 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1971 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1972 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1974 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1976 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1977 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1980 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1982 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1983 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1984 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1985 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1988 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1990 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1991 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1992 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1993 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1994 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1996 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1997 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1998 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2000 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2001 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2002 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2003 Also, bumped copyright years.
2005 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2007 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2008 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2009 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2011 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2012 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2013 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2014 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2016 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2018 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2019 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2020 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2021 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2022 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2023 cause the whole test to fail.
2025 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2027 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2028 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2029 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2031 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2033 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2034 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2035 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2036 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2038 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2040 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2041 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2043 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2044 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2047 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2049 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2050 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2051 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2052 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2053 and unstable exit status values.
2054 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2055 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2056 $warnings_are_errors.
2057 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2058 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2061 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2063 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2064 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2065 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2066 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2068 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2069 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2070 succeds unexpectedly.
2072 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2073 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2074 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2075 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2077 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2079 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2080 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2081 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2082 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2084 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2086 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2087 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2088 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2091 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2092 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2093 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2094 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2097 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2099 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2100 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2101 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2102 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2104 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2106 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2107 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2110 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2112 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2113 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2114 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2115 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2116 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2118 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2119 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2121 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2122 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2123 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2124 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2125 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2126 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2127 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2128 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2130 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2132 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2133 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
2134 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
2135 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
2136 * tests/parallel-tests4.test: Likewise.

2145 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
2146 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
2148 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2150 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
2151 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
2152 already unset in the `defs' file.
2153 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
2154 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.
2155 * tests/check9.test: Likewise.

2168 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
2170 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2172 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2173 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2174 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2176 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
2178 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2180 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
2181 * tests/extra10.test: New test, check basic support of wildcards
2183 * tests/extra11.test: New test, check more complex usage of

2199 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
2200 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
2201 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to

2223 Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
2224 * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
2225 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
2226 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
2228 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
