22 Fix a bug in variable concatanation with `+='.
23 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
24 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
25 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
26 character, instead of trying to be uselesssly smarter by using
27 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
28 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
29 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.

88 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
90 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
91 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
92 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',

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

199 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
200 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or
203 2010-09-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

261 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
263 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
265 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
266 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
267 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in

276 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
277 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.

544 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
545 trailing `:' command.
546 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in

754 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
755 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
756 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
757 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
758 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
759 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
760 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
762 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
763 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than

798 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
799 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
800 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is

820 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
822 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
824 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause

843 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
845 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
846 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
847 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
848 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
851 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.

1004 * tests/condinc.test: Likewise.
1005 * tests/cond7.test: Likewise. Also, remove useless setting of
1006 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am.
1007 * tests/ansi.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1008 changes. Extended, esp. by running autoconf, ./configure and
1009 make, and by looking into the distdir.
1011 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1012 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1014 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1015 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1016 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1017 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1019 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1021 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1022 * bootstrap: Detemine what the PATH separator is the same way
1025 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
1026 * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
1027 improvement to comments.
1028 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1029 Prepend it to all error messages.
1031 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1032 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1033 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1034 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1035 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1036 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1038 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1040 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1041 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1042 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1043 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1044 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1045 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1046 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1047 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1048 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1049 These changes make some checks slighty stricter.
1050 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1051 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1052 rather than in the middle.
1053 * tests/exeext.test: Call `set -e' just after the inclusion of
1054 `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1055 * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.
1056 * tests/confdeps.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `mv -f' over
1057 plain `mv', just to be sure.
1058 * tests/depcomp.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1059 changes. Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
1060 * tests/cond9.test: Likewise. Also, rely on the `configure.in'
1061 stub created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1062 * tests/cond10.test: Likewise.
1063 * tests/depcomp2.test: Likewise.
1064 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
1065 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
1066 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
1067 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1068 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1069 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1070 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1071 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
1072 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
1074 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1075 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeds unexpectedly.
1076 Enable `errexit' shell flag.
1078 2010-06-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1090 * tests/tags.test: Likewise, and avoid to crate an useless dummy
1092 * tests/acsilent.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
1093 command substitution.
1094 * tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
1095 command substitution.
1096 * tests/version.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1097 in the generated `configure.in'.
1098 * tests/version2.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1099 in the generated `configure.in'.
1101 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1103 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
1104 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
1105 the verbose log contains all output.
1106 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
1107 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
1109 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1111 Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).
1112 * tests/link_c_cxx.test: Enable `errexit shell flag, and related
1113 changes. Also, do not create useless source files.
1114 * tests/link_dist.test: Likewise.
1115 * tests/link_f90_only.test: Likewise.
1116 * tests/link_f_only.test: Likewise.

1121 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1123 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1124 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1125 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1126 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1127 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1128 known extension EXT.
1130 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1132 Enable `errexit' shell flag in some test scripts.

1197 an excerpt from the original bug report which motivated the
1198 creation of this test, to make its purpose clearer.
1200 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1202 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1203 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1204 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1205 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
1206 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
1207 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
1208 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
1210 Report by Christina Gratorp.
1214 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1216 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1217 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1218 output produced by `make'.
1219 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1221 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1222 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1223 output produced by `make'.
1224 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
1225 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
1226 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1227 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1228 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1230 Improved test silent5.test.
1231 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1232 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1233 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1234 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1235 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1236 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1238 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1239 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1240 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1241 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1243 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
1244 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
1245 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1247 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
1248 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
1249 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1251 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1252 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1253 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1255 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1256 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1257 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1258 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
1259 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
1260 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
1261 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
1262 * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.

1265 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1267 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1268 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1269 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1270 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1272 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1273 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1274 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1275 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1276 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1277 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1278 dependencies are enabled.
1279 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1280 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1281 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1282 dependency tracking.
1283 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1284 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1285 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1287 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1289 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1290 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1291 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1292 Makefile.in slighty stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1293 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1295 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1297 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1298 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1299 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1300 double-quotes and backquotes.
1302 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1304 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1306 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1307 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1308 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1309 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1310 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1311 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1312 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1315 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1317 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1318 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1319 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1321 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1322 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1323 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1326 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1328 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1329 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1330 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1332 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1333 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1334 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1336 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1337 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1338 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1339 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1340 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1342 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1345 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1346 missing closing parenthesis.
1348 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1349 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1350 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1352 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1354 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1355 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1358 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1360 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1361 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1362 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1363 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1366 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1368 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1369 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1370 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1371 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1372 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1374 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1375 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1376 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1378 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1379 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1380 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1381 Also, bumped copyright years.
1383 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1385 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1386 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1387 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1389 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1390 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1391 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1392 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1394 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1396 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1397 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1398 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1399 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1400 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1401 cause the whole test to fail.
1403 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1405 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1406 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1407 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1409 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1411 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1412 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1413 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1414 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
1416 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1418 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
1419 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
1421 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
1422 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
1425 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1427 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1428 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1429 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1430 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1431 and unstable exit status values.
1432 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
1433 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
1434 $warnings_are_errors.
1435 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
1436 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1439 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1441 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1442 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
1443 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
1444 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1446 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
1447 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
1448 succeds unexpectedly.
1450 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
1451 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
1452 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1453 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
1455 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1457 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
1458 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
1459 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1460 Report by Pavel Sanda.
1462 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1464 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
1465 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
1466 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
1469 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
1470 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
1471 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
1472 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
1475 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1477 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
1478 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
1479 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
1480 Suggested by Karl Berry.
1482 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
1484 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
1485 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
1488 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1490 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
1491 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
1492 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
1493 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
1494 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
1496 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
