3 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
4 * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
5 the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
6 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
7 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
9 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
11 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
12 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
13 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
14 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
15 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
16 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
17 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:

25 Fix sed-related buglet in test "subdir5.test"
26 * tests/subdir5.test: Always terminate text passed to the
27 `i' sed command with a newline, to work around limitations
28 in e.g. older OpenBSD sed.

61 Avoid running installed automake from 'libtool --help'.
62 * tests/subobj9.test: Export AUTOCONF and AUTOMAKE.
63 Together with fixed Libtool, this fixes check-coverage to not
64 invoke installed automake.
66 2010-11-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
68 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
69 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
70 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
71 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
72 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
73 tests that force gcc depmode.
74 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
75 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
76 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
77 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

160 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
161 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
162 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
165 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
166 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
167 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both

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

181 * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
182 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,
183 to avoid spurious failures. This bug has been there from the
184 very first version of this test script.
186 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
188 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
189 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
190 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
191 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
192 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
193 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
194 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
195 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
198 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
200 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
201 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
202 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
203 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
204 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
205 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
206 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
207 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
209 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
211 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
212 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
213 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
214 are not part of the Automake API.
216 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
218 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
219 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
220 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
222 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
224 Rebuild menus in the manual.
225 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
226 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
228 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
229 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
230 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
231 to fix quoting issues.
232 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
233 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.

239 Found by NixOS Hydra.
241 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
243 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
244 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
245 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
246 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
247 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
248 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
249 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
250 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
251 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
252 Reported by Andy Wingo.
254 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
256 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
257 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
258 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
259 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
260 of test `vala2.test'.
262 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
264 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
265 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
266 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
268 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
269 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
270 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
272 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
273 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
274 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
275 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
276 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
278 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

284 (Introduction): Refer to it.
286 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
288 Add support for newer python versions.
289 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
290 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
291 line and fix indentation.
293 From a report by Thomas Klausner.
295 Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
296 * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
297 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
299 Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
300 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
301 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
302 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
303 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
304 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
305 please maintainer-check.
306 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
308 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
309 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
311 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
312 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
313 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
314 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
315 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.

319 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
321 Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
322 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
323 are expanded before rules.
324 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
325 get matched as a rule.
326 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
328 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
330 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
331 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
332 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

347 2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
349 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
350 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
351 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
352 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
353 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
354 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
355 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
356 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
357 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
358 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
359 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
360 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
362 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

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

403 example about "git-dist" under the "git-dist" label, not under
406 Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".
407 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's
408 git repository" rather than to "Automake's CVS repository".

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

430 Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
431 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site

476 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
477 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
478 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
479 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
481 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
482 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
484 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
486 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
487 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
488 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
490 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
491 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
492 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
493 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
495 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
496 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
497 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
498 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
499 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'
500 and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.
501 (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'.
502 * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command.
503 * tests/confh7.test: In comments, add reference to ...
504 * tests/confh8.test: ... this new test, "semantic" sister

617 * tests/pr224.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
618 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
619 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
620 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
621 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from

728 accordingly to "TODO" comments.

782 statement required by OpenBSD's sh `set -e' more robust, and add
783 explanatory comments to it.
784 * tests/depcomp7.test: Likewise, and add a trailing `:' command.

941 autoconf/automake macros.
943 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
944 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
945 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
946 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
947 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
948 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
949 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a

973 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
975 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
976 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
977 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
978 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
979 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
980 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
981 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
983 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
984 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
985 writing one from scratch.

1099 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1100 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1101 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.

1175 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1176 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1255 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1256 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1257 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.

1346 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1347 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1348 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each

1483 * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
1484 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1486 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1488 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1489 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1490 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1491 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1493 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1494 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1495 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1496 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1497 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1498 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1499 dependencies are enabled.
1500 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1501 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1502 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1503 dependency tracking.
1504 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1505 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1506 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1508 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1510 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1511 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1512 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1513 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1514 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1516 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1518 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1519 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1520 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1521 double-quotes and backquotes.
1523 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1525 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1527 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1528 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1529 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1530 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1531 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1532 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1533 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1536 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1538 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1539 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1540 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1542 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1543 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1544 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1547 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1549 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1550 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1551 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1553 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1554 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1555 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1557 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1558 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1559 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1560 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1561 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1563 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1566 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1567 missing closing parenthesis.
1569 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1570 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1571 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1573 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1575 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1576 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1579 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1581 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1582 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1583 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1584 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1587 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1589 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1590 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1591 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1592 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1593 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1595 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1596 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1597 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1599 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1600 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1601 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1602 Also, bumped copyright years.
1604 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1606 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1607 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1608 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1610 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1611 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1612 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1613 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1615 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1617 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1618 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1619 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1620 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1621 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1622 cause the whole test to fail.
1624 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1626 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1627 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1628 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1630 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1632 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1633 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1634 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1635 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
1637 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1639 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
1640 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
1642 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
1643 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
1646 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1648 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1649 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1650 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1651 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1652 and unstable exit status values.
1653 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
1654 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
1655 $warnings_are_errors.
1656 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
1657 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1660 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1662 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1663 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
1664 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
1665 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1667 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
1668 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
1669 succeds unexpectedly.
1671 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
1672 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
1673 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1674 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
1676 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1678 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
1679 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
1680 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1681 Report by Pavel Sanda.
1683 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1685 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
1686 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
1687 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
1690 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
1691 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
1692 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
1693 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
1696 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1698 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
1699 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
1700 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
1701 Suggested by Karl Berry.
1703 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
1705 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
1706 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
1709 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1711 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
1712 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
1713 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
1714 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
1715 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
1717 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1718 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1720 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
1721 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
1722 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
1723 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
1724 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
1725 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
1726 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
1727 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
1729 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
1731 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
1732 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').

1742 * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"):
1743 Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
1744 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
1745 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
1747 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1749 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
1750 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
1751 already unset in the `defs' file.

1766 Improve help message of mdate-sh.
1767 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
1769 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1771 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
1772 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
1773 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
1775 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
1777 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1779 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
1780 * tests/extra10.test: New test, check basic support of wildcards
1782 * tests/extra11.test: New test, check more complex usage of
1783 wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
1784 * tests/extra12.test: New test, check usage of wildcards in
1785 EXTRA_DIST when $builddir != $srcdir.
1786 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1787 Necessity of these new tests suggested by Braden McDaniel
1788 and Ralf Wildenhues.

1798 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
1799 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
1800 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to

1803 * lib/elisp-comp: Likewise.
1804 * lib/install-sh: Likewise.

1822 Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
1823 * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
1824 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
1825 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
1827 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
1829 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
1830 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls
1831 to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and remove explicit definition of
1832 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
1833 Updated copyright years.
1834 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
1836 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
1837 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the
1838 filesystem, which were erroneously left out from $(TESTS):
1839 acoutbs2.test, badopt.test, extra2.test.
1840 (XFAIL_TESTS): Added acoutbs2.test.
1842 2010-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
