3 python: run the 'py-compile' script with $(SHELL)
4 * lib/python.am (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Run each instance of
5 py-compile using $(SHELL). Since we are at it, break overly
7 (am__py_compile): New variable, to reduce code duplication.

11 maintcheck: fix some failures, extend some checks
12 * Makefile.am (sc_diff_automake_in_automake): Update, as we
13 now expect 9 lines, not 8, to be changed from `automake.in'
15 (sc_diff_aclocal_in_aclocal): New maintainer check, similar to
16 the above, and checking that only 10 lines are changed from
17 `aclocal.in' to `aclocal'.
18 (syntax_check_rules): Update.
19 (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Exempt self tests `self-check-*.test'
20 from this check, as they can legitimately use the bare `exit'
21 builtin in various places.
22 * doc/automake.texi (Python): Remove stray `@' from the end of
23 a line. Typo introduced in commit `v1.11-312-g5bf7af6'.
24 * tests/depcomp8a.test: Pass DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to make
25 from the environment rather than from the command line, to
26 pacify the `sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline' maintainer
28 * tests/depcomp8b.test: Likewise.

32 remake: behave better with non-GNU make in subdirectories
33 Currently, with every decent make program, it is possible to
34 rebuild out-of-date autotools-generated files with a simple
35 "make Makefile" -- but for this to work reliably with non-GNU
36 make implementations, the command must be issued from the
37 top-level directory. This patch removes such limitation.
38 * lib/am/configure.am (am--refresh): Depend on `%MAKEFILE%'.
39 * tests/defs.in (using_gmake): New function, backported from the
40 `master' branch (and simplified).
41 * tests/remake-subdir.test: New test.
42 * tests/remake-subdir2.test: Likewise.
43 * tests/remake-subdir-gnu.test: Likewise.
44 * tests/remake-subdir-from-subdir.test: Likewise.

49 automake, aclocal: honour configure-time AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE
50 Currently, the Automake's own configure script allow definition
51 of AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE, expected to point respectively to an
52 autoconf and autom4te programs. But while these definitions are
53 honoured in the Automake's build systems and test suite, they
54 were *not* honoured in the generated `automake' and `aclocal'
55 scripts. This behaviour, apart from being wrong in that it does
56 not allow the user enough freedom in choosing his tools, also
57 caused inconsistencies in the test suite, brining to spurious
59 Problem reported by Graham Reitz on the automake list; see thread:
60 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-05/msg00022.html>
61 * automake.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOCONF', not simply `autoconf'.
62 * aclocal.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOM4TE', not simply `autom4te'.
63 * Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute also `@am_AUTOCONF' and
68 2011-05-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
70 build: the user can override AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE too
71 Our build system allows the user to override AUTOCONF and AUTOHEADER
72 at configure time, and honours these overrides in our testsuite.
73 But it didn't do the same with AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE.
74 This change fixes that inconsistency.
75 * configure.ac (am_AUTOM4TE, am_AUTOUPDATE, am_AUTORECONF): New
76 AC_SUBSTitutions. Update comments.
77 * tests/defs.in ($AUTOUPDATE): Default to `@am_AUTOUPDATE@' now.
78 ($AUTOM4TE): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTOM4TE@'.
79 ($AUTORECONF): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTORECONF@'.
80 * doc/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): Update.

85 tests/README: fix example about `make -e' usage
86 * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"): When
87 some variable is never initialized in the Makefile, `-e' is not
88 necessary in order to override it. DESTDIR is such a variable: we
89 ensure that we do not ever initialize it. And as such, it is quite
91 $ make DESTDIR=/foo/bar install
92 and in fact, quite widely used.
93 So our example about when `make -e' is required, which references
94 the `DESTDIR' variable, is poorly chosen, if not downright wrong.
95 Rewrite it to use `prefix' as the overridden variable instead.
97 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
99 testsuite: avoid re-running few tests with 'parallel-tests' option
100 Some tests in our testsuite use the 'simple-tests' driver only
101 marginally, or simply as a mean to conveniently check unrelated
102 invariants. It makes little sense to force these tests to also
103 run with the 'parallel-tests' Automake option active, as doing so
104 offers no real gain in coverage, while often causing a measurable
105 overhead in execution time (for an already too-slow testsuite).
106 * tests/pr401.test (parallel_tests): Define to "no", to prevent
107 the generation of a sibling test script using the 'parallel-tests'
109 * tests/pr401b.test: Likewise.
110 * tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
112 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
114 testsuite: allow tests to avoid the use of 'parallel-tests' option
115 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Do not generate "siblings" for tests
116 that explicitly define the `parallel_tests', whether to "yes" or
117 to any other value. Extend heading comments to give a rationale
119 * tests/README: Update.
121 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
123 tests/README: update obsoleted advice
124 * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
125 Do not suggest to use the `*-p.test' pattern for the names of
126 hand-written tests which use the `parallel-tests' Automake option.
127 Not only is this not respected by the existing tests, but it is
128 more likely to cause conflicts with auto-generated tests.
129 So, suggest to *avoid* using the `*-p.test' pattern in names
130 of hand-written tests instead.
131 (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do not"): When
132 suggesting not to override Makefile variables using command
133 line arguments, do not use the badly outdated variables `U'
134 and 'ANSI2KNR' in the example; instead, use the more common
135 and typical `DESTDIR'.
137 2011-05-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
139 test defs: rename requirement 'non-cross' -> 'native'
140 * tests/defs.in (non-cross): Rename requirement ...
141 (native): ... to this, which is clearer and fits the
142 existing lingo better.
143 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
145 2011-05-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
147 testsuite: be more cross-compile friendly
148 * tests/defs.in (cross_compiling): New subroutine.
149 (am__tool_prefix): New internal variable.
150 (gcc, g++, gcj): Force the use of the correct "tool prefix"
151 when cross compiling.
152 (gfortran, g77, non-cross): New requirements.
154 2011-05-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
156 tests: fix spurious failure of txinfo21.test on FreeBSD
157 * tests/txinfo21.test: Use the `is_newest' subroutine instead of
158 the `ls -t' hack to to determine whether a file has been updated.
159 This is required because at least FreeBSD `ls' do not sort files
160 with the same timestamp in alphabetical order when using the `-t'
163 2011-05-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
165 tests defs: allow requirements for compilers (mostly dummy)
166 Most of the new requirements that are now accepted in `$required'
167 as consequence of this patch are still dummy. They are planned
168 to be implemented only in master (or in some derived branch), but
169 having them here (even just as no-op) will allow for an easier
170 integration/backporting of potential new testcases.
171 * tests/defs.in (cc, c++, fortran, fortran77): New requirements,
173 (flex): New requirement, picking LEX for configure.
174 (lex): New requirement, alias for `flex'. A more appropriate
175 implementation, looking for a generic `lex' program, will follow
177 (yacc): New requirement, alias for `bison'. A more appropriate
178 implementation, looking for a generic `yacc' program, will follow
181 2011-04-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
183 tests: fix spurious failure in a test on TESTS (VPATH-related)
184 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: When not using the
185 parallel-tests option, do not check that VPATH components are
186 not present in the displayed test name, since the simple-tests
187 driver do not try to strip them.

213 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
215 tests: remove redundant test `mclean.test'
216 * tests/mclean.test: Remove, it's a weak grepping test completely
217 superseded by the much more complete `maintclean.test'.

220 2011-04-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
222 testsuite: more environment sanitization
223 * tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if any of `parallel_tests'
224 or `required' is in the environment.
225 ($sed_unindent_prog): Initialize to empty, to avoid interferences
226 from the environment.
227 * tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: Renamed to ...
228 * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: ... this, and extended.
229 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
230 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variables `parallel_tests' and
231 `required'. Adjust comments.

250 depcomp tests: don't reject slower dependency extractors
251 * tests/depcomp8b.test: Add the `--enable-dependency-tracking'
252 option to `configure' invocations, so that slower dependency
253 extractors are not rejected.

326 test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
327 The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
328 cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does
329 print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
332 javac: no source files
333 Usage: javac <options> <source files>
335 Luckily, adding the `-help' option to the `javac' invocation
336 seems to fix this problem.
337 * tests/defs.in (javac): Pass also the `-help' option to the
338 `javac' program. Add a comment explaining why it is needed.

440 maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
441 The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
442 the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can
443 cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious
444 error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
445 builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').
446 See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a.
447 This change add a maintainer check that warns about test names
448 which are possibly problematic in this regard.
449 * Makefile.am (sc_test_names): New maintainer-check target.
450 (syntax_check_rules): Add it.
451 (m4_builtins): New helper variable.
452 (TESTS): Updated according to the following renamings.

478 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: The configure.in stub created

505 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
506 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
507 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
508 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
509 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
510 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.

512 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
513 * tests/libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to
514 macro AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake
515 does not fail for the wrong reasons.
516 * tests/ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool
517 support works with LT_INIT-based interface.
518 Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.

522 tests: tempdirs with restrictive permissions are cleaned correctly
523 Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory
524 containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as
525 'r--r--r--') could fail.
526 * tests/defs: Ensure that all the subdirectories of a temporary
527 test directory have the 'read', 'write' and 'execute' bits set,
528 before trying to remove it with `rm -rf'.
529 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Likewise.

549 tests defs: clear TESTS_ENVIRONMENT variable
550 * tests/defs.in (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset it, so that values
551 from environment won't interfere with the testcases.
552 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
554 2011-02-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
556 tests: tweak few tests on simple and parallel test drivers
557 * tests/check-exported-srcdir.test: Improve heading comments.
558 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: Likewise. Also, unset the
559 `FOO_EXIT_STATUS' variable, so that any pre-existing value in the
560 environment won't risk to interfere with the test.
561 Suggestions by Ralf Wildenhues.

581 docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
582 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
583 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
584 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
585 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
586 activated when it should.
588 2011-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
590 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
591 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
592 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
593 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
594 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
596 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
598 coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags
599 * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"
600 per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects.

602 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
604 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

612 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
614 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
615 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
616 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
617 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.

626 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
628 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
629 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
630 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
631 up its internal memory when copying this tree.

639 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
641 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
642 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
643 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
645 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
647 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
648 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
649 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
650 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
651 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
652 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

657 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
658 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses

660 parallel-tests driver.
662 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
664 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.

678 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
679 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
680 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
681 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
683 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
685 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test

690 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
692 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
693 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
694 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
695 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
696 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
697 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

702 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
704 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
705 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
706 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
708 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
710 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
711 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
712 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
713 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
714 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.

726 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
727 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
729 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
731 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
733 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
734 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
735 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
736 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.

738 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
739 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.

769 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
770 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.

778 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
780 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
781 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
782 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
783 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
784 uselessly run it in a subshell.
785 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
786 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
787 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
789 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
791 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
792 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
793 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
794 Makefile.in stricter.
795 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
796 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
798 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
799 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
800 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
801 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
802 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
803 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
804 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
805 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
806 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
807 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
808 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
809 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
810 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
811 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
812 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
813 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
814 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
815 so they have been moved ...
816 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
817 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
818 trailing `:' command.
819 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
820 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
821 append to configure.in.
822 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
823 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
824 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
825 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
826 minor cosmetic improvements.
827 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
828 trailing `:' command.
829 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.

854 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
855 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to

857 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
858 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.

934 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
935 * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
936 the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
937 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
938 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
940 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
942 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
943 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
944 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
945 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
946 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
947 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
948 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
949 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

999 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
1000 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
1001 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
1002 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
1003 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
1004 tests that force gcc depmode.
1005 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
1006 * tests/silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
1007 * tests/silent-many-generic.test, tests/silent-many-gcc.test: ...

1084 compiler/flag environment variables.
1086 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1088 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
1089 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
1091 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
1092 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
1093 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
1094 supposed to perform.
1096 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
1097 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
1098 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both
1101 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1103 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
1104 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
1105 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to

1112 * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
1113 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,

1115 very first version of this test script.
1117 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1119 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
1120 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
1121 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
1122 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
1123 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
1124 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
1125 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
1126 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
1129 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1131 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
1132 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
1133 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
1134 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
1135 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
1136 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
1137 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
1138 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
1140 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1142 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
1143 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
1144 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
1145 are not part of the Automake API.
1147 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1149 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
1150 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
1151 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
1153 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1155 Rebuild menus in the manual.
1156 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
1157 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
1159 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
1160 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
1161 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
1162 to fix quoting issues.
1163 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
1164 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.
1166 2010-11-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1170 Found by NixOS Hydra.
1172 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1174 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
1175 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
1176 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
1177 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
1178 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
1179 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
1180 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
1181 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
1182 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1183 Reported by Andy Wingo.
1185 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1187 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
1188 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
1189 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
1190 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
1191 of test `vala2.test'.
1193 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1195 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
1196 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
1197 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
1199 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
1200 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
1201 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
1202 and header remaking.
1203 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
1204 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
1205 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
1206 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
1207 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
1209 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

1219 Add support for newer python versions.
1220 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
1221 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
1222 line and fix indentation.
1224 From a report by Thomas Klausner.
1226 Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
1227 * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
1228 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1230 Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
1231 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
1232 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
1233 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
1234 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
1235 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
1236 please maintainer-check.
1237 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
1239 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1240 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1242 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
1243 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
1244 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
1245 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
1246 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
1247 * tests/help3.test: Likewise.
1248 * tests/help4.test: Likewise.
1250 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1252 Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
1253 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
1254 are expanded before rules.
1255 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
1256 get matched as a rule.
1257 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
1259 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1261 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
1262 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
1263 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

1280 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
1281 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
1282 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
1283 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
1284 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
1285 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
1286 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1287 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
1288 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1289 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
1290 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
1291 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
1293 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

1324 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
1325 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
1326 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion

1337 Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".
1338 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's

1349 lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
1350 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
1351 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
1352 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or

1417 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
1418 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent

1428 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
1429 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
1430 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'
1431 and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.
1432 (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'.
1433 * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command.
1434 * tests/confh7.test: In comments, add reference to ...
1435 * tests/confh8.test: ... this new test, "semantic" sister

1551 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
1552 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
1553 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
1554 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.

1659 accordingly to "TODO" comments.

1691 Add a trailing `:' command.
1692 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1693 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an

1749 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1750 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1751 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1752 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".

1841 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1842 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1861 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1862 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1863 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1864 `subdir5.test' here).
1865 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.

1875 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1876 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.

1904 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1906 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1907 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1908 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1909 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1910 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1911 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1912 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1914 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1915 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1916 writing one from scratch.

1950 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1951 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1952 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1953 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1954 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1955 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1956 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

2030 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
2031 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
2032 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
2033 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
2034 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.

2077 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
2078 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
2079 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
2080 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
2081 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
2083 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
2084 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
2085 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

2103 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
2104 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
2106 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
2107 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

2171 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2173 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.

2184 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
2185 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
2186 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
2187 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
2188 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.

2277 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
2278 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
2279 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
2280 known extension EXT.

2384 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
2385 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without

2439 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2441 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
2442 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
2443 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
2444 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
2445 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
2447 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2449 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
2450 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
2451 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
2452 double-quotes and backquotes.
2454 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
2456 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2458 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
2459 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
2460 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
2461 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
2462 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
2463 eliminate such inconsistencies.
2464 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
2467 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2469 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
2470 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
2471 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
2473 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
2474 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
2475 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
2478 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2480 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2481 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2482 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2484 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
2485 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
2486 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
2488 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2489 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
2490 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
2491 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
2492 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
2494 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2497 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
2498 missing closing parenthesis.
2500 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
2501 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2502 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2504 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2506 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2507 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2510 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2512 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2513 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2514 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2515 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2518 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2520 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2521 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2522 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2523 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2524 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2526 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2527 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2528 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2530 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2531 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2532 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2533 Also, bumped copyright years.
2535 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2537 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2538 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2539 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2541 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2542 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2543 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2544 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2546 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2548 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2549 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2550 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2551 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2552 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2553 cause the whole test to fail.
2555 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2557 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2558 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2559 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2561 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2563 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2564 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2565 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2566 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2568 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2570 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2571 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2573 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2574 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2577 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2579 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2580 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2581 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2582 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2583 and unstable exit status values.
2584 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2585 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2586 $warnings_are_errors.
2587 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2588 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2591 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2593 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2594 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2595 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2596 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2598 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2599 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2600 succeds unexpectedly.
2602 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2603 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2604 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2605 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2607 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2609 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2610 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2611 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2612 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2614 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2616 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2617 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2618 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2621 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2622 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2623 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2624 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2627 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2629 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2630 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2631 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2632 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2634 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2636 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2637 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2640 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2642 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2643 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2644 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2645 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2646 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2648 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2649 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2651 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2652 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2653 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2654 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2655 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2656 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2657 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2658 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2660 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2662 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2663 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
2664 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
2665 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.

2675 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
2676 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
2678 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2680 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
2681 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
2682 already unset in the `defs' file.
2683 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
2684 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.

2698 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
2700 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2702 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2703 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2704 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2706 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
2708 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2710 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.

2729 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
2730 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
2731 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to

2753 Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
2754 * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
2755 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
2756 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
2758 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
2760 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
2761 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls

2763 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
2764 Updated copyright years.
2765 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
2767 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
2768 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the
2769 filesystem, which were erroneously left out from $(TESTS):
2770 acoutbs2.test, badopt.test, extra2.test.
2771 (XFAIL_TESTS): Added acoutbs2.test.
2773 2010-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
