12 tests: fix spurious failures in lflags*.test
13 * tests/lflags.test: Remove 'LEX' from the environment, so
14 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
15 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
17 2011-01-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
19 docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
20 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
21 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
22 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
23 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
24 activated when it should.
26 2011-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
28 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
29 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
30 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
31 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
32 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
34 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
36 coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags
37 * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"
38 per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects.
39 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
40 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
42 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
44 tests defs: sanitize IFS
45 * tests/defs.in ($IFS): Define to <space>, <tab>, <newline>.
46 ($sp): New variable, holding a single whitespace character.
47 ($tab): New variable, holding a tabulation character.
48 ($nl): New variable, holding a newline character.
50 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
52 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
53 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
54 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
55 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.
57 2011-01-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
59 tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
60 * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
61 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
62 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
64 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
66 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
67 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
68 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
69 up its internal memory when copying this tree.
71 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
72 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
74 Add comment to check-TESTS rule working around make 3.80 bug.
75 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Update comment.
77 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
79 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
80 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
81 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
83 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
85 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
86 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
87 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
88 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
89 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
90 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.
92 2011-01-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
93 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
95 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
96 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
97 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
98 parallel-tests driver.
100 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
102 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.
103 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Remove a previously existing
104 conftest.dir before recreating it.
106 Report by Eric Blake, from report by Scott McCreary against M4.
108 2011-01-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
110 tests: avoid failure on w32 file systems.
111 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: SKIP if file cannot
112 be turned unreadable.
114 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
116 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
117 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
118 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
119 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
121 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
123 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test
124 * tests/cond36.test ($required): Remove.
125 Since we are at it, add a trailing `:' command.

128 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
130 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
131 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
132 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
133 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
134 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
135 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
138 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
140 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
142 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
143 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
144 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
146 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
148 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
149 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
150 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
151 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
152 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
153 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
155 2011-01-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
157 tests: fix comment typo
158 * tests/substref.test: Fix grammar in a comment.
160 2011-01-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
162 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
163 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
164 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
165 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
167 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
169 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
171 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
172 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
173 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
174 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.
175 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Add stub files.
176 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
177 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.
179 2011-01-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
181 docs: clustered '-d' not recognized in YFLAGS
182 This change fixes automake bug#7828.
183 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Document that automake
184 recognizes '-d' in AM_YFLAGS only if it's not clustered with
186 From a report by Юрий Пухальский.
188 2011-01-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
190 tests: add checks on automatically-distributed files

200 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
202 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
204 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL
205 * tests/txinfo5b.test: New test, like txinfo5.test but calling
206 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
207 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
208 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.
209 * tests/Makefile.am (TEST): Updated.
211 2011-01-09 Dave Hart <davehart@gmail.com> (tiny change)
213 Fix another typo in Rule.pm comment.
214 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typo.
216 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
218 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
219 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
220 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
221 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
222 uselessly run it in a subshell.
223 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
224 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
225 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
227 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
229 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
230 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
231 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
232 Makefile.in stricter.
233 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
234 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
236 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
237 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
238 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
239 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
240 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
241 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
242 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
243 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
244 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
245 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
246 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
247 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
248 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
249 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
250 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
251 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
252 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
253 so they have been moved ...
254 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
255 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
256 trailing `:' command.
257 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
258 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
259 append to configure.in.
260 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
261 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
262 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
263 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
264 minor cosmetic improvements.
265 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
266 trailing `:' command.
267 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
268 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.
269 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

290 2011-01-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
292 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
293 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to
294 also check for the deleted header bug. If no dependency
295 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
296 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.
298 Fix typos in Rule.pm comments.
299 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix typos in comments.
301 docs: split 'amhello Explained' node.
302 * doc/automake.texi (amhello Explained): Split node ...

323 docs: how to work around checks on invalid primary/directory couples
324 * doc/automake.texi (Uniform): Document the blessed idiom which can
325 be used to work around automake checks on invalid primary/directory
326 couples (such as `lib_PROGRAMS' or `doc_LIBRARIES').
328 2011-01-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
330 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
331 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:

362 Fix two spurious testsuite failures on IRIX 6.5.
363 * tests/suffix13.test (Makefile.am): Account for VPATH issues on
364 weaker make implementations (e.g. IRIX 6.5).
365 * tests/parallel-tests8.test: Likewise, plus a required related
367 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues. The bugs have been there from the
368 first versions of the affected test scripts.

372 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
373 * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
374 the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
375 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
376 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
378 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
380 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
381 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
382 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
383 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
384 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
385 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
386 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
387 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

394 Fix sed-related buglet in test "subdir5.test"
395 * tests/subdir5.test: Always terminate text passed to the
396 `i' sed command with a newline, to work around limitations
397 in e.g. older OpenBSD sed.
399 2010-12-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
401 docs: fix blunder in example about python extension modules

437 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
438 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
439 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
440 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
441 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
442 tests that force gcc depmode.
443 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
444 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
445 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
446 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

508 * tests/silentyacc.test: Likewise.
510 Avoid useless cleaning in some `silent*.test' tests.
511 * tests/silentf77.test: Removed useless calls to "make clean"
512 and "make maintainer-clean".
513 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
514 * tests/silent3.test: Removed useless call to "make distclean".

518 2010-11-19 Ian Lance Taylor <iant@google.com>
520 Sync config-ml.in from GCC.
521 * config-ml.in: Add Go support: treat GOC and GOCFLAGS like other
522 compiler/flag environment variables.
524 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
526 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
527 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
529 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
530 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
531 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
534 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
535 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
536 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both

541 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
542 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
543 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to
544 avoid spurious failures. Add a trailing `:' command.
545 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
547 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
549 Fix spurious failures of silent5.test with Sun Fortran.
550 * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
551 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,
552 to avoid spurious failures. This bug has been there from the

555 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
557 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
558 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
559 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
560 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
561 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
562 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
563 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
564 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
567 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
569 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
570 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
571 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
572 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
573 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
574 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
575 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
576 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
578 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
580 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
581 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
582 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
583 are not part of the Automake API.
585 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
587 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
588 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
589 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
591 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
593 Rebuild menus in the manual.
594 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
595 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
597 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
598 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use

600 to fix quoting issues.
601 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
602 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.

608 Found by NixOS Hydra.
610 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
612 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
613 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
614 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
615 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
616 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
617 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
618 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
619 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
620 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
621 Reported by Andy Wingo.
623 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
625 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
626 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
627 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
628 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
629 of test `vala2.test'.
631 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
633 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
634 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
635 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
637 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
638 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
639 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
641 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
642 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
643 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
644 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
645 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
647 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
649 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
651 Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.
652 * doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
653 (Introduction): Refer to it.
655 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
657 Add support for newer python versions.
658 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
659 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
660 line and fix indentation.

668 Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
669 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
670 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
671 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
672 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
673 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
674 please maintainer-check.

677 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
678 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
680 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
681 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
682 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
683 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
684 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.

691 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
692 are expanded before rules.
693 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
694 get matched as a rule.
695 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
697 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
699 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
700 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,

718 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
719 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
720 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
721 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
722 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
723 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
724 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
725 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
726 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
727 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
728 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
729 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
731 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

735 Testsuite: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when extending PATH.
736 * tests/compile2.test: Do no uselessly (implicitly) repeat the
737 computation of PATH_SEPARATOR again.
738 * tests/instmany-mans.test: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when
739 extending/redefining PATH.

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

787 lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
788 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
789 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
790 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or
793 2010-09-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
795 * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years.
797 2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
799 Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
800 * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
801 `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which
802 seems to have been removed, substituted by multiple release

843 2010-09-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
845 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
846 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
847 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
848 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
850 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
851 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
853 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
855 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
856 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
857 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
859 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
860 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
861 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
862 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
864 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
865 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
866 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
867 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
868 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'
869 and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.
870 (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'.
871 * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command.

899 Fix bug in test missing6.test.
900 * tests/missing6.test: Fix the hack used to edit `configure.in',
901 to avoid producing a configure script that breaks with shells
902 that do not support $LINENO. Also throw in a couple of cosmetic
905 2010-08-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
907 Improve robustness of mdate-sh script.
908 * lib/mdate-sh: Sanitize zsh behavior on startup, to ensure
909 $ls_command is word-split properly upon invocation.

914 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
916 2010-08-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

924 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
926 Docs: clarify how to avoid automatic dependencies tracking.
927 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that
928 automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that
929 the package developer can disable it altogether. Add a reference
930 to the proper section for a more in-depth explanation.
932 Fix typo in manual (`Makefile.in' instead of `Makefile.am').
933 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Fix typo.
935 2010-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
937 Don't hide the table of contents.

949 `$me' over hard-coded test name.
950 * tests/aclocal6.test: Likewise.
951 * tests/aclocal18.test: Add trailing `:' command, and make
952 some grepping slightly stricter.
953 * tests/acloca14.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `diff' over
954 `cmp', and add some "cosmetic" blank lines.
956 2010-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
958 Tweak and extend tests `pr[!0-9]*.test'.
959 * tests/primary3.test: Add trailing `:' command.
960 * tests/primary.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
961 Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.

983 flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs).
984 * tests/pr220.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
985 Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.
986 * tests/pr224.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
987 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
988 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
989 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
990 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
991 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
992 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.
993 * tests/pr72.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
994 changes. Extend existing checks a bit.

1001 automake in foreign mode anyway.
1002 * tests/pr243.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
1003 `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1004 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
1005 and add a "FIXME" comment.
1006 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch

1128 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
1129 Add a trailing `:' command.
1130 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure

1187 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1188 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1189 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1190 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1191 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1192 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1212 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1213 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1214 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1216 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.

1279 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1280 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1310 autoconf/automake macros.
1312 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1313 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1314 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1315 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
1316 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
1317 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.

1344 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1345 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1346 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1347 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1348 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1349 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1350 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1352 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1353 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than

1388 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1389 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1390 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1391 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1392 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1393 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1394 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

1408 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1409 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1410 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1412 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1414 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause

1427 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1428 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1429 declaration, to please compilers.
1431 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1433 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1434 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1435 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1436 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1437 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1438 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1441 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1442 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.

1463 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1464 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related

1466 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1467 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1468 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1469 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1470 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.

1484 Add useful comment in test script ext.test.
1485 * tests/ext.test: Add a comment explaining why an apparently
1486 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1488 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1489 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1490 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1492 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
1493 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the
1494 definition of this variable.
1496 2010-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1498 Remove a couple of unneeded conditionals from tests.
1499 * tests/pr243.test, tests/pr266.test, tests/strip.test: No need
1500 for the FOOTEST conditional.
1502 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1504 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1505 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
1507 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1508 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1509 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
1510 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
1511 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
1512 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1513 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1514 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1515 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1516 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1517 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1518 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1519 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1521 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1522 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1523 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

1525 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1526 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1536 Modernize, improve and/or fix tests `pluseq*.test.
1537 * tests/pluseq5.test: Append to configure.in using cat with an
1538 here-doc, not using echo.
1539 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1540 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1541 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1542 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1544 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1545 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1571 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
1572 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
1574 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
1575 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1577 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.
1578 * tests/backsl.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and
1580 * tests/backsl2.test: Likewise.

1587 * tests/canon3.test: Likewise. Also, avoid to create an useless
1589 * tests/acoutpt2.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and some
1590 related changes. Do some cosmetic improvements in the generated
1591 `configure.in' file.

1593 * tests/cond14.test: Likewise.
1594 * tests/condinc.test: Likewise.

1596 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am.
1597 * tests/ansi.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1598 changes. Extended, esp. by running autoconf, ./configure and
1599 make, and by looking into the distdir.
1601 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1602 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1604 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1605 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1606 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1607 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1609 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1611 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1612 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way
1615 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
1616 * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
1617 improvement to comments.
1618 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
1619 Prepend it to all error messages.
1621 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1622 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1623 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1624 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1625 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1626 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1628 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1630 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1631 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1632 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
1633 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
1634 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1635 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1636 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1637 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1638 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1639 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1640 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1641 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
1642 rather than in the middle.

1644 `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1645 * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.

1649 changes. Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
1650 * tests/cond9.test: Likewise. Also, rely on the `configure.in'

1656 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
1657 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1658 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1659 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1660 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1661 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
1662 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
1664 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1665 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1683 command substitution.
1684 * tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
1685 command substitution.
1686 * tests/version.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
1687 in the generated `configure.in'.

1689 in the generated `configure.in'.
1691 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1693 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
1694 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
1695 the verbose log contains all output.
1696 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
1697 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
1699 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1701 Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).

1713 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1714 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1715 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1716 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1717 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1718 known extension EXT.
1720 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1790 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1792 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
1793 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
1794 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
1795 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
1796 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
1797 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
1798 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
1800 Report by Christina Gratorp.
1804 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1806 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
1807 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
1808 output produced by `make'.
1809 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
1811 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
1812 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the

1816 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
1817 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
1818 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
1820 Improved test silent5.test.
1821 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
1822 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1823 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
1824 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
1825 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
1826 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
1828 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
1829 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
1830 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
1831 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.

1835 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1837 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
1838 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
1839 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1841 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
1842 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
1843 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1845 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
1846 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
1847 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
1848 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
1849 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.

1855 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1857 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
1858 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
1859 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
1860 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
1862 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1863 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1864 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1865 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
1866 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
1867 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
1868 dependencies are enabled.
1869 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
1870 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
1871 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
1872 dependency tracking.
1873 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1874 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1875 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1877 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1879 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1880 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1881 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1882 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1883 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1885 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1887 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1888 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1889 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1890 double-quotes and backquotes.
1892 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1894 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1896 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1897 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1898 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1899 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1900 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1901 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1902 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1905 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1907 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1908 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1909 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1911 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1912 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1913 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1916 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1918 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1919 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1920 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1922 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1923 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1924 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1926 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1927 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1928 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1929 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1930 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1932 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1935 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1936 missing closing parenthesis.
1938 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1939 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1940 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1942 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1944 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1945 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1948 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1950 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1951 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1952 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1953 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1956 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1958 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1959 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1960 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1961 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1962 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1964 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1965 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1966 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1968 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1969 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1970 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1971 Also, bumped copyright years.
1973 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1975 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1976 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1977 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1979 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1980 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1981 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1982 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1984 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1986 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1987 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1988 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1989 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1990 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1991 cause the whole test to fail.
1993 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1995 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1996 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:

2015 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2017 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2018 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2019 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2020 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2021 and unstable exit status values.
2022 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2023 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2024 $warnings_are_errors.

2029 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2031 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2032 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2033 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2034 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2036 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2037 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2038 succeds unexpectedly.
2040 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2041 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2042 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2043 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.

2047 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2048 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2049 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2050 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2052 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2054 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2055 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2056 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2059 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2060 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2061 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2062 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2065 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2067 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2068 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):

2074 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2075 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2078 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2080 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2081 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2082 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2083 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2084 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.

2140 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2141 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2142 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2144 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
