105 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
106 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
107 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
108 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
109 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
110 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
111 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:

162 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
163 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
164 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
165 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
166 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
167 tests that force gcc depmode.
168 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
169 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
170 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
171 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
173 * silentlex.test: Test removed, its content split into ...

254 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
255 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
256 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
259 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
260 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
261 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both

266 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
267 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose

278 very first version of this test script.
280 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
282 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
283 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
284 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
285 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
286 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
287 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
288 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
289 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
292 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
294 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
295 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
296 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
297 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
298 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
299 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
300 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
301 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
303 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
305 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
306 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
307 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
308 are not part of the Automake API.
310 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
312 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
313 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
314 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
316 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
318 Rebuild menus in the manual.
319 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
320 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
322 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
323 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
324 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
325 to fix quoting issues.
326 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
327 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.

333 Found by NixOS Hydra.
335 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
337 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
338 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
339 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
340 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
341 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
342 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
343 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
344 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
345 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
346 Reported by Andy Wingo.
348 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
350 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
351 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
352 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
353 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
354 of test `vala2.test'.
356 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
358 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
359 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
360 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
362 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
363 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
364 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
366 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
367 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
368 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
369 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
370 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
372 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
374 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
376 Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.
377 * doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
378 (Introduction): Refer to it.
380 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
382 Add support for newer python versions.
383 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
384 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
385 line and fix indentation.
387 From a report by Thomas Klausner.
389 Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
390 * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.

394 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
395 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
396 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
397 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
398 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
399 please maintainer-check.
400 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
402 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
403 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
405 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
406 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
407 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
408 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
409 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.

416 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
417 are expanded before rules.
418 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
419 get matched as a rule.
420 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
422 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
424 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
425 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
426 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

441 2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
443 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
444 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
445 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
446 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
447 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
448 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
449 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
450 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
451 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
452 `--version' take precedence on the other options.

485 Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used.
486 * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'
487 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
488 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
489 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
490 `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private
492 (missing and AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Try to be more agnostic w.r.t.
493 the version control system used.
495 Manual: index refer to target "git-dist", not "cvs-dist".
496 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Index the non-standard
497 example about "git-dist" under the "git-dist" label, not under
500 Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".
501 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's
502 git repository" rather than to "Automake's CVS repository".
503 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Likewise.
504 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.

1015 Modernize and improve test scripts `subdir*.test'.
1016 * tests/subdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1017 changes. Use the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs',
1018 rather than writing one from scratch.
1019 * tests/subdir2.test: Likewise.
1020 * tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
1021 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1022 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1023 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
1024 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1025 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1026 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1027 `subdir5.test' here).
1028 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.
1029 * tests/subdir9.test: Define and use new variable `$distdir'. Add
1030 trailing `:' command.
1031 * tests/subdir10.test: Cosmetic consistency-related change.
1032 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
1033 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
1034 it from scratch. Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
1035 autoconf/automake macros.
1037 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1038 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1039 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1040 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
1041 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
1042 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
1043 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a
1044 trailing `:' command. Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister
1046 * tests/distcom6.test: Likewise, and avoid to uselessly run
1048 * tests/distcom3.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured stdout
1049 and stderr. Make grepping of captured stderr stricter. Also,
1050 add trailing `:' command.

1052 Makefile.am as `.PHONY'. Display content of more files, to ease
1053 debugging. Add trailing `:' command.
1054 * tests/distcom5.test: Likewise. Also, factor out common sed
1055 script in subroutine `extract_distcommon'.
1056 * tests/distcom7.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to write
1057 test Makefile.am files. Add a trailing `:' command.
1058 * tests/distname.test: Prefer `gzip -d' over `gunzip'. Move the
1059 call to `set -e' earlier. Be stricter and more verbose in the
1060 checking of the generated tarball.
1061 (configure.in): Use the stub provided by ./defs, instead of
1062 writing it from scratch. Avoid obsoleted constructs. Remove
1063 useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.
1064 * tests/distdir.test: Various minor improvements/normalizations.
1065 * tests/distlinks.test: Likewise.
1067 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1069 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1070 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1071 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1072 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1073 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1074 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1075 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1077 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1078 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1079 writing one from scratch.
1081 2010-06-26 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1083 Update program --help output to match current GCS.

1085 is not defined, for compatibility to Autoconf < 2.64.
1086 * Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute PACKAGE_BUGREPORT and
1088 (sc_diff_automake_in_automake): Update number of diff lines for
1089 additional substitutions.

1091 home page and GNU general help page.
1092 * automake.in (usage): Likewise.

1110 * tests/silent5.test: Use $EGREP, not $GREP (which is not even
1113 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1114 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1115 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1116 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1117 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1118 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1119 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

1131 2010-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1133 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1134 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1135 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1137 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1139 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1140 `make dist' to fail.

1151 * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
1152 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1153 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1154 declaration, to please compilers.
1156 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1158 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1159 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1160 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1161 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1162 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1163 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1166 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1167 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1168 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1169 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1171 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
1172 * tests/yflags.test: New test, check that user $(YFLAGS) takes

1188 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1189 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1190 changes. Also, do not redirect grep output to /dev/null, as this
1191 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1192 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1193 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1194 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1195 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1196 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1197 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
1198 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the

1211 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1213 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1214 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1215 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1217 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
1218 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the

1232 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1233 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1234 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
1235 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
1236 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
1237 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.

1240 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1241 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1242 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1243 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1244 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1246 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1247 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1248 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1249 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1250 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1251 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1266 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1267 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1269 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1270 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1327 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1329 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1330 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1331 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1332 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1334 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1336 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.

1343 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1344 Prepend it to all error messages.
1346 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1347 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1348 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1349 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1350 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1351 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.

1438 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1439 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1440 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1441 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1442 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1443 known extension EXT.

1529 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1531 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1532 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1533 output produced by `make'.
1534 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1536 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1537 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1538 output produced by `make'.
1539 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
1540 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
1541 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1542 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1543 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1545 Improved test silent5.test.
1546 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1547 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1548 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1549 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1550 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1551 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1553 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1554 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1555 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1556 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1558 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).

1560 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1562 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
1563 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
1564 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1566 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1567 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1568 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1570 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1571 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1572 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1573 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).

1580 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1582 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1583 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1584 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1585 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1587 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1588 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1589 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1590 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1591 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1592 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1593 dependencies are enabled.
1594 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1595 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1596 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1597 dependency tracking.
1598 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1599 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1600 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1602 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1604 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1605 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1606 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1607 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1608 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1610 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1612 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1613 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1614 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1615 double-quotes and backquotes.
1617 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1619 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1621 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1622 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1623 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1624 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1625 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1626 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1627 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1630 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1632 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1633 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1634 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1636 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1637 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1638 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1641 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1643 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1644 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1645 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1647 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1648 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1649 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1651 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1652 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1653 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1654 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1655 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1657 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1660 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1661 missing closing parenthesis.
1663 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1664 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1665 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1667 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1669 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1670 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1673 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1675 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1676 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1677 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1678 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1681 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1683 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1684 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1685 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1686 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1687 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1689 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1690 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1691 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1693 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1694 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1695 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1696 Also, bumped copyright years.
1698 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1700 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1701 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1702 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1704 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1705 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1706 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1707 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1709 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1711 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1712 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1713 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1714 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1715 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1716 cause the whole test to fail.
1718 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1720 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1721 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1722 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1724 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1726 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1727 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1728 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1729 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
1731 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1733 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
1734 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
1736 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
1737 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
1740 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1742 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1743 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1744 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1745 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1746 and unstable exit status values.
1747 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
1748 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
1749 $warnings_are_errors.
1750 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
1751 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1754 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1756 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1757 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
1758 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
1759 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1761 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
1762 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
1763 succeds unexpectedly.
1765 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
1766 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
1767 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1768 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
1770 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1772 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
1773 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
1774 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1775 Report by Pavel Sanda.
1777 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1779 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
1780 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
1781 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
1784 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
1785 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
1786 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
1787 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
1790 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1792 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
1793 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
1794 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
1795 Suggested by Karl Berry.
1797 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
1799 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
1800 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
1803 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1805 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
1806 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
1807 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
1808 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
1809 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
1811 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1812 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1814 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
1815 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
1816 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
1817 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
1818 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
1819 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
1820 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
1821 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
1823 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
1825 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
1826 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').

1836 * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"):
1837 Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
1838 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
1839 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
1841 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1843 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
1844 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
1845 already unset in the `defs' file.
1846 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
1847 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.

1860 Improve help message of mdate-sh.
1861 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
1863 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1865 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
1866 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
1867 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
1869 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
1871 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1873 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.

1892 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
1893 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
1894 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to
1896 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_pre): Use `exit 143' in signal handler.
1897 * lib/elisp-comp: Likewise.
1898 * lib/install-sh: Likewise.
1899 * lib/ylwrap: Likewise. Also, fix script to trap signal 13, not 3.

1916 Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
1917 * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
1918 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
1919 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
1921 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
1923 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
1924 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls
1925 to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and remove explicit definition of
1926 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
1927 Updated copyright years.
1928 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
1930 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
