3 remake: behave better with non-GNU make in subdirectories
4 Currently, with every decent make program, it is possible to
5 rebuild out-of-date autotools-generated files with a simple
6 "make Makefile" -- but for this to work reliably with non-GNU
7 make implementations, the command must be issued from the
8 top-level directory. This patch removes such limitation.
9 * lib/am/configure.am (am--refresh): Depend on `%MAKEFILE%'.
10 * tests/defs.in (using_gmake): New function, backported from the
11 `master' branch (and simplified).
12 * tests/remake-subdir.test: New test.
13 * tests/remake-subdir2.test: Likewise.
14 * tests/remake-subdir-gnu.test: Likewise.
15 * tests/remake-subdir-from-subdir.test: Likewise.
16 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
18 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
20 testsuite: avoid re-running few tests with 'parallel-tests' option
21 Some tests in our testsuite use the 'simple-tests' driver only
22 marginally, or simply as a mean to conveniently check unrelated
23 invariants. It makes little sense to force these tests to also
24 run with the 'parallel-tests' Automake option active, as doing so
25 offers no real gain in coverage, while often causing a measurable
26 overhead in execution time (for an already too-slow testsuite).
27 * tests/pr401.test (parallel_tests): Define to "no", to prevent
28 the generation of a sibling test script using the 'parallel-tests'
30 * tests/pr401b.test: Likewise.
31 * tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
33 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
35 testsuite: allow tests to avoid the use of 'parallel-tests' option
36 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Do not generate "siblings" for tests
37 that explicitly define the `parallel_tests', whether to "yes" or
38 to any other value. Extend heading comments to give a rationale
40 * tests/README: Update.
42 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
44 tests/README: update obsoleted advice
45 * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
46 Do not suggest to use the `*-p.test' pattern for the names of
47 hand-written tests which use the `parallel-tests' Automake option.
48 Not only is this not respected by the existing tests, but it is
49 more likely to cause conflicts with auto-generated tests.
50 So, suggest to *avoid* using the `*-p.test' pattern in names
51 of hand-written tests instead.
52 (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do not"): When
53 suggesting not to override Makefile variables using command
54 line arguments, do not use the badly outdated variables `U'
55 and 'ANSI2KNR' in the example; instead, use the more common
56 and typical `DESTDIR'.
58 2011-05-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
60 test defs: rename requirement 'non-cross' -> 'native'
61 * tests/defs.in (non-cross): Rename requirement ...
62 (native): ... to this, which is clearer and fits the
63 existing lingo better.
64 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
66 2011-05-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
68 testsuite: be more cross-compile friendly
69 * tests/defs.in (cross_compiling): New subroutine.
70 (am__tool_prefix): New internal variable.
71 (gcc, g++, gcj): Force the use of the correct "tool prefix"
73 (gfortran, g77, non-cross): New requirements.
75 2011-05-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
77 tests: fix spurious failure of txinfo21.test on FreeBSD
78 * tests/txinfo21.test: Use the `is_newest' subroutine instead of
79 the `ls -t' hack to to determine whether a file has been updated.
80 This is required because at least FreeBSD `ls' do not sort files
81 with the same timestamp in alphabetical order when using the `-t'
84 2011-05-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
86 tests defs: allow requirements for compilers (mostly dummy)
87 Most of the new requirements that are now accepted in `$required'
88 as consequence of this patch are still dummy. They are planned
89 to be implemented only in master (or in some derived branch), but
90 having them here (even just as no-op) will allow for an easier
91 integration/backporting of potential new testcases.
92 * tests/defs.in (cc, c++, fortran, fortran77): New requirements,
94 (flex): New requirement, picking LEX for configure.
95 (lex): New requirement, alias for `flex'. A more appropriate
96 implementation, looking for a generic `lex' program, will follow
98 (yacc): New requirement, alias for `bison'. A more appropriate
99 implementation, looking for a generic `yacc' program, will follow
102 2011-04-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
104 tests: fix spurious failure in a test on TESTS (VPATH-related)
105 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: When not using the
106 parallel-tests option, do not check that VPATH components are
107 not present in the displayed test name, since the simple-tests
108 driver do not try to strip them.

119 test defs: new subroutines for test skipping/failing
120 * tests/defs.in (Exit): Move definition of this function earlier.
121 (warn_, skip_, fail_, framework_failure_): New functions, inspired
122 to the homonyms in gnulib's tests/init.sh.
123 ($stderr_fileno_): New global variable, used by the new functions
125 * tests/README: Updated.
126 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
128 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
130 tests: fix typo (copy & paste blunder) in heading comment
131 * tests/maintclean-vpath.test: Correctly refer to the sister test
132 as `maintclean.test', not as `maintclean-vpath.test'.
134 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
136 tests: remove redundant test `mclean.test'
137 * tests/mclean.test: Remove, it's a weak grepping test completely
138 superseded by the much more complete `maintclean.test'.
139 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
141 2011-04-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
143 testsuite: more environment sanitization
144 * tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if any of `parallel_tests'
145 or `required' is in the environment.
146 ($sed_unindent_prog): Initialize to empty, to avoid interferences
147 from the environment.
148 * tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: Renamed to ...
149 * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: ... this, and extended.
150 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
151 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variables `parallel_tests' and
152 `required'. Adjust comments.
154 2011-04-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
156 tests: don't allow `$me' to be overridden from the environment

158 * tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: New test.
159 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variable `me'.
161 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.

166 * tests/defs.in ($me): Allow overriding by the including test
167 script. Add some explicative comments.
169 2011-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
171 depcomp tests: don't reject slower dependency extractors
172 * tests/depcomp8b.test: Add the `--enable-dependency-tracking'
173 option to `configure' invocations, so that slower dependency
174 extractors are not rejected.
175 * tests/depcomp8a.test: Likewise. Also ...
176 (foo.c): ... since we are at it, fix spacing to be consistent
177 with GNU coding standards.

226 * tests/depcomp10.test: Make it executable. Fix a blunder that
227 has left part of an intended comment not prefixed by `#', thus
228 causing shell syntax errors. In this same comment, break a
229 too-long reported error message on multiple lines, for clarity.
230 Add reference to the relevant bug report. Add a comment which
231 explains why the test result 'skipped' if the first "make" call
232 fails. Add other useful comments.
233 * tests/depcomp9.test: Slightly improve comments.

247 test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
248 The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
249 cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does
250 print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
253 javac: no source files
254 Usage: javac <options> <source files>
256 Luckily, adding the `-help' option to the `javac' invocation
257 seems to fix this problem.
258 * tests/defs.in (javac): Pass also the `-help' option to the
259 `javac' program. Add a comment explaining why it is needed.
260 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.

361 maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
362 The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
363 the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can
364 cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious
365 error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
366 builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').
367 See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a.
368 This change add a maintainer check that warns about test names
369 which are possibly problematic in this regard.
370 * Makefile.am (sc_test_names): New maintainer-check target.
371 (syntax_check_rules): Add it.
372 (m4_builtins): New helper variable.
373 (TESTS): Updated according to the following renamings.
374 * tests/include.test: Renamed ...
375 * tests/hdr-vars-defined-once.test: ... to this.
376 * tests/sinclude.test: Renamed ...

385 tests: fix bug in alloca*.test
386 * tests/alloca.test: Make grepping of automake stderr stricter,
387 add a trailing `:' command; also, add AC_PROG_CC to configure.in,
388 and create a dummy alloca.c file, to ensure that we fail for the
390 * tests/alloca2.test: Likewise. Also, look for LT_INIT, not
391 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, in the error message (bug introduced with commit

398 tests: fix bug (comments-in-var-defn.test + autoconf 2.62)
399 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: The configure.in stub created
400 by default, which has the AC_INIT first argument obtained by the
401 test name, causes autoconf 2.62 to fail with a spurious error
402 message like: "configure.in:1: error: defn: undefined macro:".
403 Thus, to prevent this, the test is renamed to ...
404 * tests/comments-in-var-def.test: ... this.

422 to unindent without using a temporary file.
424 2011-02-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
426 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
427 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
428 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
429 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
430 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
431 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
432 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
433 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
434 * tests/libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to
435 macro AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake
436 does not fail for the wrong reasons.
437 * tests/ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool
438 support works with LT_INIT-based interface.
439 Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.

520 * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"
521 per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects.
522 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
523 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
525 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
527 tests defs: sanitize IFS
528 * tests/defs.in ($IFS): Define to <space>, <tab>, <newline>.

533 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
535 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
536 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
537 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
538 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.
540 2011-01-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
542 tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
543 * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
544 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
545 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
547 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
549 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
550 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
551 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
552 up its internal memory when copying this tree.
554 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
555 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

560 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
562 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
563 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
564 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
566 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
568 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
569 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
570 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
571 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
572 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
573 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

578 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
579 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
580 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
581 parallel-tests driver.
583 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
585 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.

599 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
600 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
601 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
602 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
604 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
606 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test
607 * tests/cond36.test ($required): Remove.

611 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
613 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
614 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
615 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
616 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
617 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
618 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
621 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
623 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
625 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
626 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
627 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
629 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
631 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
632 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
633 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
634 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
635 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
636 Report by Stefano Lattarini.

645 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
646 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
647 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
648 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
650 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
652 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
654 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
655 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
656 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
657 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.
658 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Add stub files.
659 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
660 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.

689 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
690 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
691 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.

699 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
701 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
702 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
703 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
704 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
705 uselessly run it in a subshell.
706 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
707 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
708 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
710 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
712 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
713 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
714 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
715 Makefile.in stricter.
716 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
717 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
719 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
720 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
721 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
722 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
723 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
724 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
725 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
726 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
727 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
728 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
729 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
730 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
731 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
732 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
733 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
734 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
735 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
736 so they have been moved ...
737 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
738 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
739 trailing `:' command.
740 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
741 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
742 append to configure.in.
743 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
744 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
745 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
746 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
747 minor cosmetic improvements.
748 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
749 trailing `:' command.
750 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.

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

920 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
921 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
922 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
923 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
924 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
925 tests that force gcc depmode.
926 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
927 * tests/silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...

1017 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
1018 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
1019 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both
1022 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1024 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
1025 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
1026 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to
1027 avoid spurious failures. Add a trailing `:' command.
1028 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1030 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1032 Fix spurious failures of silent5.test with Sun Fortran.
1033 * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
1034 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,
1035 to avoid spurious failures. This bug has been there from the
1036 very first version of this test script.
1038 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1040 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
1041 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
1042 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
1043 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
1044 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
1045 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
1046 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
1047 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
1050 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1052 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
1053 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
1054 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
1055 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
1056 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
1057 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
1058 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
1059 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
1061 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1063 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
1064 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
1065 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
1066 are not part of the Automake API.
1068 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1070 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
1071 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
1072 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
1074 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1076 Rebuild menus in the manual.
1077 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
1078 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
1080 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
1081 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
1082 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
1083 to fix quoting issues.
1084 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
1085 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.
1087 2010-11-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1089 Fix yaccdry.test failure: require bison.
1090 * tests/yaccdry.test: Require bison.
1091 Found by NixOS Hydra.
1093 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1095 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
1096 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
1097 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
1098 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
1099 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
1100 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
1101 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
1102 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
1103 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1104 Reported by Andy Wingo.
1106 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1108 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
1109 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
1110 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
1111 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
1112 of test `vala2.test'.
1114 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1116 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
1117 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
1118 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
1120 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
1121 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
1122 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
1123 and header remaking.
1124 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
1125 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
1126 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
1127 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
1128 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
1130 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1132 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1134 Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.
1135 * doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
1136 (Introduction): Refer to it.
1138 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1140 Add support for newer python versions.
1141 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
1142 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
1143 line and fix indentation.
1145 From a report by Thomas Klausner.
1147 Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
1148 * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
1149 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1151 Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
1152 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
1153 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
1154 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
1155 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
1156 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
1157 please maintainer-check.
1158 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
1160 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1161 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1163 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
1164 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
1165 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
1166 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
1167 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
1168 * tests/help3.test: Likewise.
1169 * tests/help4.test: Likewise.
1171 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1173 Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
1174 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
1175 are expanded before rules.
1176 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
1177 get matched as a rule.
1178 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
1180 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1182 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
1183 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
1184 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

1199 2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1201 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
1202 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
1203 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
1204 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
1205 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
1206 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
1207 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1208 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
1209 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1210 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
1211 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
1212 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
1214 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
1216 2010-09-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1218 Testsuite: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when extending PATH.
1219 * tests/compile2.test: Do no uselessly (implicitly) repeat the
1220 computation of PATH_SEPARATOR again.
1221 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when
1222 extending/redefining PATH.

1241 2010-09-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1243 Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used.
1244 * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'
1245 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
1246 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
1247 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
1248 `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private
1250 (missing and AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Try to be more agnostic w.r.t.

1253 Manual: index refer to target "git-dist", not "cvs-dist".
1254 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Index the non-standard
1255 example about "git-dist" under the "git-dist" label, not under
1258 Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".
1259 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's
1260 git repository" rather than to "Automake's CVS repository".

1270 lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
1271 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
1272 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
1273 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or

1282 Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
1283 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
1284 `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which
1285 seems to have been removed, substituted by multiple release
1288 2010-09-17 Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>

1326 2010-09-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1328 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
1329 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
1330 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
1331 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
1333 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
1334 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
1336 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1338 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
1339 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
1340 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
1342 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
1343 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
1344 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
1345 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
1347 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
1348 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
1349 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
1350 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
1351 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'
1352 and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.
1353 (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'.
1354 * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command.
1355 * tests/confh7.test: In comments, add reference to ...
1356 * tests/confh8.test: ... this new test, "semantic" sister
1358 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
1359 Prompted by a report from Ralf Wildenhues.
1361 Remove useless whitespace padding in XFAIL_TESTS definition.

1380 2010-08-27 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1382 Fix bug in test missing6.test.
1383 * tests/missing6.test: Fix the hack used to edit `configure.in',
1384 to avoid producing a configure script that breaks with shells
1385 that do not support $LINENO. Also throw in a couple of cosmetic
1388 2010-08-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1390 Improve robustness of mdate-sh script.
1391 * lib/mdate-sh: Sanitize zsh behavior on startup, to ensure
1392 $ls_command is word-split properly upon invocation.
1393 (error): New function.
1394 (main): Use it. Improve error checking to avoid endless loop
1395 in case $ls_command gave bogus output. Fix eval quotation.
1396 * tests/mdate6.test: New test, to expose eval quotation error.
1397 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

1407 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1409 Docs: clarify how to avoid automatic dependencies tracking.
1410 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that
1411 automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that
1412 the package developer can disable it altogether. Add a reference
1413 to the proper section for a more in-depth explanation.
1415 Fix typo in manual (`Makefile.in' instead of `Makefile.am').
1416 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Fix typo.
1418 2010-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1420 Don't hide the table of contents.
1421 * doc/automake.texi: Move the table of contents to the beginning.
1423 2010-08-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1425 Tweak and/or extend some `acloca*.test' tests.
1426 * tests/aclocal8.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured
1428 * tests/aclocal.test: Likewise. Also, add trailing `:'
1430 * tests/acloca19.test: Likewise.
1431 * tests/aclocal5.test: Add trailing `:' command, and prefer
1432 `$me' over hard-coded test name.
1433 * tests/aclocal6.test: Likewise.
1434 * tests/aclocal18.test: Add trailing `:' command, and make
1435 some grepping slightly stricter.
1436 * tests/acloca14.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `diff' over
1437 `cmp', and add some "cosmetic" blank lines.
1439 2010-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1441 Tweak and extend tests `pr[!0-9]*.test'.
1442 * tests/primary3.test: Add trailing `:' command.
1443 * tests/primary.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
1444 Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.
1445 * tests/primary2.test: Likewise.
1446 * tests/prefix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
1447 changes. Add a trailing `:' command.
1448 * tests/proginst.test: Likewise.
1450 Modernize, improve and extend tests for PR (`pr[0-9]*.test').
1451 * tests/pr2.test: Add trailing `:' command.
1452 * tests/pr229.test: Likewise.
1453 * tests/pr401.test: Likewise.
1454 * tests/pr401b.test: Likewise.

1462 `configure.in' stub created by ./defs, rather than writing it
1464 * tests/pr204.test: Likewise, plus cosmetic spacing changes.
1465 * tests/pr287.test: Likewise, and move setting of `errexit' shell
1466 flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs).
1467 * tests/pr220.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
1468 Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.
1469 * tests/pr224.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1470 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
1471 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
1472 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
1473 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
1474 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
1475 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.
1476 * tests/pr72.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
1477 changes. Extend existing checks a bit.
1478 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise. Also, avoid obsolescent constructs in
1479 the generated `configure.in', and extend existing checks over the
1480 generated tarball a bit.

1482 changes. Add a trailing `:' command. Also, do not create dummy

1485 * tests/pr243.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
1486 `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1487 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
1488 and add a "FIXME" comment.
1489 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch

1612 Add a trailing `:' command.
1613 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure

1670 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1671 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1672 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1673 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1674 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1675 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1695 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1696 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1697 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1699 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.

1762 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1763 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1795 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1796 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1797 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1798 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the

1827 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1828 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1829 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1830 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1831 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1832 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1833 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1835 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1836 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than

1871 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1872 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1873 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is

1891 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1892 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1893 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1895 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1897 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause

1910 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1911 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1912 declaration, to please compilers.
1914 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1916 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1917 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1918 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1919 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1920 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1921 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1924 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1925 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1926 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1927 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still

1946 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1947 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related

1949 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1950 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1951 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1952 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1953 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.

1967 Add useful comment in test script ext.test.
1968 * tests/ext.test: Add a comment explaining why an apparently
1969 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1971 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1972 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1973 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1975 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
1976 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the
1977 definition of this variable.
1979 2010-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1981 Remove a couple of unneeded conditionals from tests.
1982 * tests/pr243.test, tests/pr266.test, tests/strip.test: No need
1983 for the FOOTEST conditional.
1985 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1987 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1988 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
1990 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1991 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1992 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
1993 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
1994 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
1995 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1996 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1997 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1998 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1999 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
2000 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
2001 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
2002 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
2004 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
2005 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
2006 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

2008 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
2009 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

2020 * tests/pluseq5.test: Append to configure.in using cat with an
2021 here-doc, not using echo.
2022 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
2023 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
2024 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
2025 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
2027 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
2028 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

2054 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
2055 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
2057 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
2058 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
2060 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.
2061 * tests/backsl.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and
2063 * tests/backsl2.test: Likewise.

2085 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2087 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
2088 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
2089 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
2090 test scripts can indeed be useful.
2092 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2094 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
2095 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way

2100 improvement to comments.
2101 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
2102 Prepend it to all error messages.
2104 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
2105 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
2106 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
2107 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
2108 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
2109 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
2111 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2113 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
2114 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
2115 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
2116 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
2117 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
2118 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
2119 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
2120 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
2121 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
2122 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
2123 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
2124 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
2125 rather than in the middle.

2140 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
2141 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
2142 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
2143 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
2144 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.

2147 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
2148 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

2166 command substitution.
2167 * tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
2168 command substitution.
2169 * tests/version.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs

2174 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2176 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
2177 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
2178 the verbose log contains all output.
2179 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
2180 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
2182 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2184 Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).

2196 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
2197 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
2198 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
2199 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
2200 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
2201 known extension EXT.
2203 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

2270 an excerpt from the original bug report which motivated the
2271 creation of this test, to make its purpose clearer.
2273 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2275 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
2276 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
2277 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
2278 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
2279 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
2280 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
2281 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
2283 Report by Christina Gratorp.
2287 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2289 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
2290 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
2291 output produced by `make'.
2292 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
2294 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
2295 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the

2298 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
2299 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
2300 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
2301 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
2303 Improved test silent5.test.
2304 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
2305 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
2306 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
2307 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
2308 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
2309 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
2311 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
2312 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
2313 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
2314 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.

2318 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2320 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
2321 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
2322 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2324 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
2325 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
2326 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2328 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
2329 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
2330 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
2331 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
2332 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.

2340 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
2341 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
2342 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
2343 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
2345 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
2346 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
2347 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
2348 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
2349 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
2350 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
2351 dependencies are enabled.
2352 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
2353 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
2354 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
2355 dependency tracking.
2356 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2357 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2358 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
2360 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2362 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
2363 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
2364 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
2365 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
2366 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
2368 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2370 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
2371 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
2372 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
2373 double-quotes and backquotes.
2375 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
2377 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2379 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
2380 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
2381 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
2382 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
2383 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
2384 eliminate such inconsistencies.
2385 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
2388 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2390 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
2391 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
2392 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
2394 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
2395 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
2396 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
2399 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2401 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2402 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2403 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2405 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
2406 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
2407 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
2409 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2410 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
2411 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
2412 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
2413 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
2415 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2418 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
2419 missing closing parenthesis.
2421 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
2422 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2423 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2425 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2427 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2428 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2431 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2433 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2434 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2435 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2436 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2439 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2441 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2442 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2443 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2444 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2445 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2447 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2448 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2449 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2451 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2452 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2453 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2454 Also, bumped copyright years.
2456 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2458 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2459 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2460 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2462 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2463 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2464 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2465 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2467 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2469 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2470 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2471 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2472 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2473 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2474 cause the whole test to fail.
2476 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2478 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2479 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2480 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2482 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2484 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2485 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...

2494 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2495 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2498 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2500 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2501 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2502 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2503 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2504 and unstable exit status values.
2505 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2506 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2507 $warnings_are_errors.
2508 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2509 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2512 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2514 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2515 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2516 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2517 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2519 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2520 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2521 succeds unexpectedly.
2523 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2524 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2525 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2526 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2528 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2530 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2531 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2532 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2533 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2535 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2537 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2538 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2539 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2542 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2543 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2544 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2545 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2548 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2550 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2551 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2552 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2553 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2555 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2557 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2558 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2561 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2563 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2564 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2565 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2566 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2567 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.

2570 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2572 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2573 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call

2599 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2601 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.

2621 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2623 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2624 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2625 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2627 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
2629 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

2650 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
2651 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
2652 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to
