107 test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
108 The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
109 cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does
110 print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
113 javac: no source files
114 Usage: javac <options> <source files>
116 Luckily, adding the `-help' option to the `javac' invocation
117 seems to fix this problem.
118 * tests/defs.in (javac): Pass also the `-help' option to the
119 `javac' program. Add a comment explaining why it is needed.

221 maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
222 The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
223 the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can
224 cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious
225 error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
226 builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').
227 See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a.
228 This change add a maintainer check that warns about test names
229 which are possibly problematic in this regard.
230 * Makefile.am (sc_test_names): New maintainer-check target.
231 (syntax_check_rules): Add it.
232 (m4_builtins): New helper variable.
233 (TESTS): Updated according to the following renamings.

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

258 tests: fix bug (comments-in-var-defn.test + autoconf 2.62)
259 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: The configure.in stub created
260 by default, which has the AC_INIT first argument obtained by the
261 test name, causes autoconf 2.62 to fail with a spurious error
262 message like: "configure.in:1: error: defn: undefined macro:".

286 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
287 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
288 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
289 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
290 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
291 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
292 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
293 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
294 * libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to macro
295 AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does
296 not fail for the wrong reasons.
297 * ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool support
298 works with LT_INIT-based interface.

547 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL
548 * tests/txinfo5b.test: New test, like txinfo5.test but calling
549 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
550 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
551 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.

561 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
562 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
563 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
564 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
565 uselessly run it in a subshell.
566 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
567 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
568 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
570 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
572 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
573 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
574 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
575 Makefile.in stricter.
576 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
577 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
579 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
580 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
581 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
582 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
583 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
584 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
585 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
586 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
587 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
588 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
589 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
590 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
591 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
592 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
593 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
594 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
595 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
596 so they have been moved ...
597 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
598 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
599 trailing `:' command.
600 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
601 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
602 append to configure.in.

605 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
606 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
607 minor cosmetic improvements.
608 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
609 trailing `:' command.

723 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".

725 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
726 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
727 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
728 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
729 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:

780 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
781 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
782 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
783 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
784 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
785 tests that force gcc depmode.
786 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
787 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
788 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
789 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

900 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
901 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
902 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
903 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
904 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
905 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
906 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
907 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
910 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
912 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
913 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
914 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
915 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
916 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
917 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
918 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
919 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
921 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
923 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
924 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove

926 are not part of the Automake API.
928 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
930 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.

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

955 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
956 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
957 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
958 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
959 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
960 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
961 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
962 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
963 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
964 Reported by Andy Wingo.

968 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
969 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
970 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
971 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
972 of test `vala2.test'.
974 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
976 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
977 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
978 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
980 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
981 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
982 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
984 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
985 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
986 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
987 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.

1000 Add support for newer python versions.

1021 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1023 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
1024 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
1025 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
1026 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.

1040 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1042 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
1043 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
1044 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

1061 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
1062 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
1063 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
1064 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
1065 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
1066 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
1067 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1068 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.

1103 Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used.
1104 * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'
1105 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
1106 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
1107 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
1108 `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private

1118 Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".
1119 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's

1132 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
1133 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or

1190 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
1191 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
1193 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
1194 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
1196 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1198 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
1199 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
1200 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in

1204 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
1205 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
1207 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
1208 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
1209 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
1210 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
1211 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'
1212 and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.
1213 (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'.
1214 * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command.

1331 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
1332 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
1333 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
1334 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
1335 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.

1379 Tweak, extend and improve tests `cond[a-z]*.test'.
1380 * tests/condd.test: Add trailing `:' command. Typofix in
1382 * tests/condhook.test: Make sure target `install-data-hook' is
1383 not called by `make install', but that data files are installed.

1398 Modernize, improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test.
1399 * tests/colon.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by

1401 a useless dummy file. Add trailing `:' command.
1402 * tests/colon4.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and
1403 related changes. Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1404 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.

1437 disabled test (which didn't work with autoconf <= 2.59, but now we
1438 are requiring autoconf 2.62, so...)
1439 * tests/conflnk4.test: Cosmetic changes, and extend existing tests
1440 accordingly to "TODO" comments.
1441 * tests/conff2.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
1442 Add some comments explaining why we don't use the `configure.in'
1443 stub preset be ./defs.
1444 * tests/confh.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by ./defs,
1445 rather than writing one from scratch, and do not call AC_OUTPUT.

1471 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
1472 Add a trailing `:' command.
1473 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure

1475 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1476 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1477 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
1478 trailing `:' command.
1479 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in
1480 grep regexps. Always use `: >' rather than `touch' to create empty

1495 explanatory comments to it.
1496 * tests/depcomp7.test: Likewise, and add a trailing `:' command.
1498 Separate failing part of test `all.test'.
1499 * tests/all.test: Keep only (x)failing part of the test. Working
1500 checks moved out to ...
1501 * tests/all2.test: ... this new test.

1533 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1534 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1535 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1555 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1556 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.

1613 Prompted by suggestion from Stefano Lattarini.
1615 Fix AM_COND_IF for gone-invalid condition shell expression.
1616 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): test contents of $COND_TRUE
1617 variable, rather than re-evaluating the shell expression for
1619 * tests/cond40.test: Extend test.
1622 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1623 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty
1624 to avoid shell syntax error if the m4 expansion is empty.

1631 2010-07-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1633 Modernize and improve test scripts `subdir*.test'.
1634 * tests/subdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1635 changes. Use the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs',

1638 * tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
1639 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1640 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1641 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
1642 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1643 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1644 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1645 `subdir5.test' here).
1646 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.

1653 autoconf/automake macros.
1655 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1656 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1657 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1658 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
1659 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
1660 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.

1680 writing it from scratch. Avoid obsoleted constructs. Remove
1681 useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.
1682 * tests/distdir.test: Various minor improvements/normalizations.
1683 * tests/distlinks.test: Likewise.
1685 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1687 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1688 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1689 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1690 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1691 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1692 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1693 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1695 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1696 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1697 writing one from scratch.

1731 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1732 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1733 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1734 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1735 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1736 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1737 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

1751 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1752 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1753 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1755 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1757 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1758 `make dist' to fail.

1770 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1771 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1772 declaration, to please compilers.
1774 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1776 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1777 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1778 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1779 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1780 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1781 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1784 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1785 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1786 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1787 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1789 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.

1809 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1810 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1811 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1812 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1813 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1814 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1815 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.

1865 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1866 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

1887 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1888 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1945 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1947 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1948 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1949 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1950 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1952 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1954 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.

1965 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1966 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1967 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1968 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1969 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1971 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1973 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1974 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1975 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1976 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1977 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1978 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1979 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1980 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1981 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1982 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1983 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1984 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1985 rather than in the middle.
1986 * tests/exeext.test: Call `set -e' just after the inclusion of
1987 `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1988 * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.
1989 * tests/confdeps.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `mv -f' over
1990 plain `mv', just to be sure.
1991 * tests/depcomp.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1992 changes. Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
1993 * tests/cond9.test: Likewise. Also, rely on the `configure.in'
1994 stub created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1995 * tests/cond10.test: Likewise.
1996 * tests/depcomp2.test: Likewise.
1997 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
1998 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
1999 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
2000 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
2001 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
2002 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
2003 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
2004 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
2005 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
2007 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
2008 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.
2009 Enable `errexit' shell flag.

2025 * tests/acsilent.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
2026 command substitution.
2027 * tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
2028 command substitution.
2029 * tests/version.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
2030 in the generated `configure.in'.
2031 * tests/version2.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
2032 in the generated `configure.in'.
2034 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2036 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
2037 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
2038 the verbose log contains all output.
2039 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
2040 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
2042 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2044 Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).

2054 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2056 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
2057 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
2058 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
2059 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
2060 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
2061 known extension EXT.
2063 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2065 Enable `errexit' shell flag in some test scripts.

2133 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2135 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
2136 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
2137 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
2138 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
2139 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
2140 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
2141 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
2143 Report by Christina Gratorp.
2147 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2149 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
2150 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
2151 output produced by `make'.
2152 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
2154 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
2155 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
2156 output produced by `make'.
2157 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
2158 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
2159 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
2160 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
2161 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
2163 Improved test silent5.test.
2164 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
2165 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
2166 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
2167 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
2168 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
2169 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
2171 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
2172 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
2173 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
2174 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2176 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
2177 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
2178 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2180 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
2181 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
2182 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2184 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
2185 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
2186 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2188 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
2189 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
2190 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
2191 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
2192 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
2193 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
2194 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
2195 * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
2196 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
2198 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2200 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
2201 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
2202 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
2203 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
2205 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
2206 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
2207 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
2208 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
2209 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
2210 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
2211 dependencies are enabled.
2212 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
2213 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
2214 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
2215 dependency tracking.
2216 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2217 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2218 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
2220 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2222 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
2223 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
2224 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
2225 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
2226 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
2228 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2230 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
2231 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
2232 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
2233 double-quotes and backquotes.
2235 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
2237 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2239 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
2240 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
2241 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
2242 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
2243 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
2244 eliminate such inconsistencies.
2245 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
2248 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2250 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
2251 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
2252 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
2254 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
2255 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
2256 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
2259 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2261 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2262 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2263 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2265 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
2266 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
2267 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
2269 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2270 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
2271 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
2272 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
2273 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
2275 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2278 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
2279 missing closing parenthesis.
2281 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
2282 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2283 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2285 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2287 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2288 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2291 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2293 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2294 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2295 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2296 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2299 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2301 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2302 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2303 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2304 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2305 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2307 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2308 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2309 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2311 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2312 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2313 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2314 Also, bumped copyright years.
2316 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2318 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2319 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2320 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2322 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2323 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2324 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2325 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2327 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2329 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2330 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2331 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2332 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2333 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2334 cause the whole test to fail.
2336 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2338 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2339 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2340 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2342 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2344 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2345 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2346 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2347 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2349 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2351 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2352 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2354 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2355 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2358 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2360 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2361 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2362 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2363 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2364 and unstable exit status values.
2365 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2366 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2367 $warnings_are_errors.
2368 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2369 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2372 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2374 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2375 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2376 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2377 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2379 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2380 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2381 succeds unexpectedly.
2383 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2384 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2385 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2386 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2388 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2390 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2391 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2392 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2393 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2395 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2397 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2398 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2399 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2402 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2403 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2404 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2405 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2408 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2410 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2411 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2412 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2413 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2415 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2417 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2418 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2421 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2423 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2424 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2425 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2426 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2427 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2429 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2430 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2432 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2433 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2434 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2435 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2436 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2437 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2438 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2439 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2441 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2443 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2444 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
2445 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
2446 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
2447 * tests/parallel-tests4.test: Likewise.
2448 * tests/parallel-tests5.test: Likewise.

2451 * tests/parallel-tests8.test: Likewise.
2452 * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Likewise.
2453 * tests/parallel-tests10.test: Likewise.
2454 * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"):
2455 Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
2456 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
2457 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
