12 test defs: unindent without temporary file
13 * tests/defs.in (commented_sed_unindent_prog): Commented Sed program
14 that strips the "proper" amount of leading whitespace.
15 (unindent): Lazily strip comments from the above program and use it
16 to unindent without using a temporary file.
18 2011-02-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
20 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
21 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
22 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
23 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
24 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
25 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
26 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
27 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
28 * libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to macro
29 AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does
30 not fail for the wrong reasons.
31 * ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool support
32 works with LT_INIT-based interface.
33 Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.
35 2011-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
37 tests: tempdirs with restrictive permissions are cleaned correctly
38 Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory
39 containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as
40 'r--r--r--') could fail.
41 * tests/defs: Ensure that all the subdirectories of a temporary
42 test directory have the 'read', 'write' and 'execute' bits set,
43 before trying to remove it with `rm -rf'.
44 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Likewise.

65 * tests/defs.in (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset it, so that values
66 from environment won't interfere with the testcases.
67 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
69 2011-02-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
71 tests: tweak few tests on simple and parallel test drivers
72 * tests/check-exported-srcdir.test: Improve heading comments.
73 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: Likewise. Also, unset the
74 `FOO_EXIT_STATUS' variable, so that any pre-existing value in the
75 environment won't risk to interfere with the test.
76 Suggestions by Ralf Wildenhues.

94 2011-01-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
96 docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
97 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
98 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
99 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
100 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
101 activated when it should.
103 2011-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
105 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
106 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
107 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
108 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
109 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
111 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
113 coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags
114 * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"
115 per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects.
116 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
117 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
119 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

129 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
130 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
131 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
132 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.

139 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
141 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
143 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
144 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
145 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
146 up its internal memory when copying this tree.

154 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
156 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
157 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
158 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
160 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
162 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
163 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
164 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
165 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
166 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
167 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

172 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
173 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
174 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
175 parallel-tests driver.

193 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
194 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
195 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
196 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
198 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
200 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test

207 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
208 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
209 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
210 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
211 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
212 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
215 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
217 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
219 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
220 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
221 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
223 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
225 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input

248 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
249 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to

281 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL

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

293 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
295 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
296 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
297 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
298 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
299 uselessly run it in a subshell.
300 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
301 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
302 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
304 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
306 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
307 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
308 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
309 Makefile.in stricter.
310 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
311 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
313 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
314 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
315 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
316 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
317 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
318 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
319 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
320 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
321 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
322 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
323 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
324 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
325 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
326 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
327 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
328 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
329 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
330 so they have been moved ...
331 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
332 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
333 trailing `:' command.
334 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
335 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
336 append to configure.in.
337 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
338 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
339 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
340 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
341 minor cosmetic improvements.
342 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
343 trailing `:' command.
344 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
345 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.

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

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

449 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
450 * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require

452 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
453 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
455 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
457 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
458 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
459 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
460 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
461 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
462 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
463 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
464 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

508 * tests/subobj9.test: Export AUTOCONF and AUTOMAKE.
509 Together with fixed Libtool, this fixes check-coverage to not
510 invoke installed automake.

514 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
515 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
516 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
517 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
518 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
519 tests that force gcc depmode.
520 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
521 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
522 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
523 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

634 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
635 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
636 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
637 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
638 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
639 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
640 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,

646 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
647 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
648 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
649 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
650 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
651 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
652 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various

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

689 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
690 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
691 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
692 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
693 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
694 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
695 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
696 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
697 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

705 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
706 of test `vala2.test'.

757 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
758 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
759 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',

1066 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
1067 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
1068 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
1069 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.

1135 a useless dummy file. Add trailing `:' command.
1136 * tests/colon4.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and

1174 accordingly to "TODO" comments.

1206 Add a trailing `:' command.
1207 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1208 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an

1210 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1211 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
1212 trailing `:' command.

1264 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1265 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1266 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1267 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".

1356 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1357 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1376 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1377 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1378 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1379 `subdir5.test' here).
1380 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.

1390 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1391 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.

1419 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1421 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1422 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1423 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1424 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1425 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1426 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1427 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1429 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1430 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1431 writing one from scratch.

1465 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1466 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1467 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1468 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1469 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1470 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.

1504 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1505 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1506 declaration, to please compilers.
1508 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1511 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1512 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",

1545 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1546 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1547 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1548 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1549 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
1550 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the

1563 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1565 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1566 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1567 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1569 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.

1592 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1593 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1594 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1595 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1596 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1598 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1599 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1600 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

1602 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1603 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1618 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1619 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1621 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1622 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1699 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1700 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1701 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1702 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1703 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.

1792 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1793 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1794 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1795 known extension EXT.

1899 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1900 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without

1960 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1962 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1964 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1965 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1966 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1967 double-quotes and backquotes.
1969 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1971 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1973 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1974 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1975 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1976 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1977 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1978 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1979 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1982 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1984 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1985 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1986 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1988 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1989 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1990 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1993 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1995 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1996 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1997 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1999 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
2000 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
2001 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
2003 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2004 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
2005 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
2006 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
2007 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
2009 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2012 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
2013 missing closing parenthesis.
2015 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
2016 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2017 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2019 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2021 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2022 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2025 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2027 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2028 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2029 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2030 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2033 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2035 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2036 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2037 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2038 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2039 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2041 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2042 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2043 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2045 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2046 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2047 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2048 Also, bumped copyright years.
2050 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2052 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2053 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2054 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2056 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2057 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2058 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2059 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2061 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2063 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2064 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2065 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2066 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2067 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2068 cause the whole test to fail.
2070 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2072 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2073 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2074 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2076 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2078 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2079 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2080 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2081 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2083 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2085 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2086 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2088 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2089 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2092 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2094 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2095 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2096 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2097 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2098 and unstable exit status values.
2099 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2100 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2101 $warnings_are_errors.
2102 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2103 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2106 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2108 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2109 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2110 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2111 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2113 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2114 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2115 succeds unexpectedly.
2117 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2118 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2119 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2120 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2122 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2124 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2125 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2126 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2127 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2129 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2131 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2132 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2133 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2136 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2137 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2138 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2139 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2142 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2144 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2145 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2146 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2147 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2149 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2151 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2152 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2155 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2157 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2158 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2159 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2160 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2161 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2163 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2164 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2166 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2167 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2168 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2169 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2170 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2171 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2172 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2173 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2175 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2177 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2178 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
2179 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
2180 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.

2188 * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"):
2189 Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
2190 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
2191 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
2193 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2195 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
2196 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
2197 already unset in the `defs' file.
2198 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
2199 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.
2200 * tests/check9.test: Likewise.

2212 Improve help message of mdate-sh.
2213 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
2215 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2217 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2218 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2219 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2221 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
2223 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2225 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
2226 * tests/extra10.test: New test, check basic support of wildcards
2228 * tests/extra11.test: New test, check more complex usage of

2244 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
2245 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
2246 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to
2248 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_pre): Use `exit 143' in signal handler.
2249 * lib/elisp-comp: Likewise.
2250 * lib/install-sh: Likewise.

2268 Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
2269 * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
2270 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
2271 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
2273 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
2275 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
2276 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls

2278 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
2279 Updated copyright years.
2280 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
2282 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
2283 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the
