3 depcomp: correct invalid sed invocation
4 * lib/depcomp: Insert missing -e before '/:$/d'.
5 Otherwise, that use of sed would treat '/:$/d' as a file name.

9 depcomp: fix bugs in tests and in the depcomp script
10 * lib/depcomp (gcc): Remove duplicated `-e' from sed invocation.
11 * tests/depcomp10.test: Make it executable. Fix a blunder that
12 has left part of an intended comment not prefixed by `#', thus
13 causing shell syntax errors. In this same comment, break a
14 too-long reported error message on multiple lines, for clarity.
15 Add reference to the relevant bug report. Add a comment which
16 explains why the test result 'skipped' if the first "make" call
17 fails. Add other useful comments.
18 * tests/depcomp9.test: Slightly improve comments.

32 test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
33 The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
34 cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does
35 print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
38 javac: no source files
39 Usage: javac <options> <source files>
41 Luckily, adding the `-help' option to the `javac' invocation
42 seems to fix this problem.
43 * tests/defs.in (javac): Pass also the `-help' option to the
44 `javac' program. Add a comment explaining why it is needed.
45 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.

146 maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
147 The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
148 the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can
149 cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious
150 error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
151 builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').
152 See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a.
153 This change add a maintainer check that warns about test names
154 which are possibly problematic in this regard.
155 * Makefile.am (sc_test_names): New maintainer-check target.
156 (syntax_check_rules): Add it.
157 (m4_builtins): New helper variable.
158 (TESTS): Updated according to the following renamings.

173 and create a dummy alloca.c file, to ensure that we fail for the

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

211 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
212 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
213 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
214 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
215 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
216 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
217 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
218 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
219 * libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to macro
220 AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does
221 not fail for the wrong reasons.

223 works with LT_INIT-based interface.

229 Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory
230 containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as
231 'r--r--r--') could fail.

515 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
516 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
517 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
518 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
519 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
520 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
521 so they have been moved ...
522 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
523 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
524 trailing `:' command.
525 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
526 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
527 append to configure.in.
528 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
529 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
530 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
531 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
532 minor cosmetic improvements.
533 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
534 trailing `:' command.
535 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.

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

705 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
706 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
707 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
708 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
709 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
710 tests that force gcc depmode.
711 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
712 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
713 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
714 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

825 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
826 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
827 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
828 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
829 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
830 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
831 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
832 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
835 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
837 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
838 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
839 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
840 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
841 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
842 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
843 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
844 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
846 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
848 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
849 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
850 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
851 are not part of the Automake API.
853 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
855 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
856 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case

861 Rebuild menus in the manual.

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

878 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
880 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
881 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
882 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
883 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
884 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
885 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
886 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
887 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
888 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
889 Reported by Andy Wingo.

895 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
896 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
897 of test `vala2.test'.
899 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
901 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
902 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
903 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.

906 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
907 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
909 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
910 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
911 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
912 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.

925 Add support for newer python versions.

938 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
939 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
940 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."

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

984 2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
986 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
987 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
988 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
989 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
990 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
991 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
992 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
993 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
994 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
995 `--version' take precedence on the other options.

1123 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
1124 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
1125 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in

1258 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from

1365 accordingly to "TODO" comments.

1455 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1456 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1457 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1458 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".

1477 `eval' builtin. Fixed a botched error message. Removed an
1480 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1481 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1482 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1484 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.
1485 * bootstrap ($AUTOCONF): New variable, from the environment.
1486 ($AUTOM4TE): Likewise, for clarity.
1487 Use "$AUTOCONF" instead of calling "autoconf" directly.
1489 Minor improvements to tests ar*.test.
1490 * tests/ar.test: Add trailing `:' command.
1491 * tests/ar2.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated

1496 Fix maintainer-check failure.
1497 * tests/cond5.test: Quote sleep argument, this isn't about

1536 Document current policy for development with git.
1537 * HACKING (Working with git): Overhaul.
1538 Prompted by suggestion from Stefano Lattarini.
1540 Fix AM_COND_IF for gone-invalid condition shell expression.
1541 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): test contents of $COND_TRUE
1542 variable, rather than re-evaluating the shell expression for
1544 * tests/cond40.test: Extend test.
1547 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1548 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty
1549 to avoid shell syntax error if the m4 expansion is empty.
1550 * tests/cond40.test: Enhance test.
1552 Coverage: bogus option to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
1553 * tests/init2.test: New test.
1554 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1556 2010-07-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1558 Modernize and improve test scripts `subdir*.test'.
1559 * tests/subdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1560 changes. Use the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs',
1561 rather than writing one from scratch.
1562 * tests/subdir2.test: Likewise.
1563 * tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
1564 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1565 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1566 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
1567 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1568 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1569 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1570 `subdir5.test' here).
1571 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.
1572 * tests/subdir9.test: Define and use new variable `$distdir'. Add
1573 trailing `:' command.
1574 * tests/subdir10.test: Cosmetic consistency-related change.
1575 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
1576 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
1577 it from scratch. Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
1578 autoconf/automake macros.
1580 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1581 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1582 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1583 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
1584 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
1585 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
1586 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a
1587 trailing `:' command. Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister

1595 Makefile.am as `.PHONY'. Display content of more files, to ease
1596 debugging. Add trailing `:' command.

1603 checking of the generated tarball.
1604 (configure.in): Use the stub provided by ./defs, instead of
1605 writing it from scratch. Avoid obsoleted constructs. Remove
1606 useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.
1607 * tests/distdir.test: Various minor improvements/normalizations.
1608 * tests/distlinks.test: Likewise.
1610 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1612 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1613 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1614 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1615 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1616 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1617 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1618 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1620 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1621 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1622 writing one from scratch.

1631 (sc_diff_automake_in_automake): Update number of diff lines for
1632 additional substitutions.

1634 home page and GNU general help page.
1635 * automake.in (usage): Likewise.
1636 * doc/automake.texi: New flag PACKAGE_BUGREPORT, to factor email
1638 (Introduction, Creating amhello, amhello Explained, Options):
1640 * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute
1642 * lib/Automake/Config.in ($PACKAGE_BUGREPORT): New global.

1653 * tests/silent5.test: Use $EGREP, not $GREP (which is not even
1656 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1657 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1658 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1659 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
1660 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
1661 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1662 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

1674 2010-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1676 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1677 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1678 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1680 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1682 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1683 `make dist' to fail.

1695 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1696 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1697 declaration, to please compilers.
1699 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1701 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1702 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1703 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1704 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1705 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1706 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1709 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1710 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1711 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1712 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1714 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
1715 * tests/yflags.test: New test, check that user $(YFLAGS) takes

1731 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1732 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related

1734 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1735 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1736 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1737 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1738 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1739 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1740 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
1741 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the

1754 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1756 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1757 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1758 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1760 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
1761 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the

1783 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1784 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1785 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1786 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1787 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1789 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1790 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1791 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1792 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1793 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1794 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
1795 * tests/substre2.test: Ensure verbose printing of the captured
1796 make's output, and make its grepping slightly stricter.

1806 here-doc, not using echo.
1807 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of

1809 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1810 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1812 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1813 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1870 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1872 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
1873 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1874 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1875 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1877 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1879 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.

1890 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1891 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1892 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1893 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1894 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1896 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1898 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1899 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1900 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.

1925 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
1926 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
1927 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
1928 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
1929 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.

1932 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
1933 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

1981 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
1982 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1983 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1984 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1985 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1986 known extension EXT.

2072 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2074 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
2075 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
2076 output produced by `make'.
2077 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
2079 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
2080 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
2081 output produced by `make'.

2083 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
2084 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
2085 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
2086 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
2088 Improved test silent5.test.
2089 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
2090 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
2091 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
2092 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
2093 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
2094 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
2096 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
2097 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
2098 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
2099 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2101 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).
2102 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
2103 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2105 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
2106 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
2107 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2109 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
2110 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
2111 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2113 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
2114 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
2115 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
2116 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).

2123 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2125 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
2126 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
2127 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
2128 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
2130 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
2131 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
2132 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
2133 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
2134 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
2135 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
2136 dependencies are enabled.
2137 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
2138 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
2139 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
2140 dependency tracking.
2141 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2142 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2143 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
2145 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2147 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
2148 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
2149 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
2150 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
2151 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
2153 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2155 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
2156 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
2157 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
2158 double-quotes and backquotes.
2160 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
2162 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2164 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
2165 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
2166 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
2167 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
2168 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
2169 eliminate such inconsistencies.
2170 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
2173 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2175 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
2176 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
2177 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
2179 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
2180 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
2181 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
2184 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2186 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2187 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2188 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2190 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
2191 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
2192 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
2194 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2195 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
2196 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
2197 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
2198 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
2200 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2203 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
2204 missing closing parenthesis.
2206 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
2207 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2208 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2210 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2212 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2213 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2216 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2218 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2219 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2220 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2221 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2224 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2226 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2227 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2228 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2229 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2230 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2232 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2233 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2234 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2236 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2237 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2238 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2239 Also, bumped copyright years.
2241 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2243 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2244 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2245 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2247 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2248 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2249 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2250 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2252 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2254 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2255 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2256 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2257 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2258 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2259 cause the whole test to fail.
2261 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2263 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2264 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2265 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2267 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2269 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2270 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2271 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2272 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2274 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2276 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2277 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2279 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2280 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2283 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2285 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2286 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2287 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2288 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2289 and unstable exit status values.
2290 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2291 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2292 $warnings_are_errors.
2293 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2294 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2297 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2299 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2300 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2301 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2302 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2304 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2305 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2306 succeds unexpectedly.
2308 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2309 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2310 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2311 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2313 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2315 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2316 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2317 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2318 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2320 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2322 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2323 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2324 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2327 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2328 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2329 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2330 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2333 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2335 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2336 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2337 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2338 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2340 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2342 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2343 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2346 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2348 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2349 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2350 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2351 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2352 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2354 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2355 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2357 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2358 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2359 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2360 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2361 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2362 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2363 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2364 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2366 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2368 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2369 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').

2379 * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"):
2380 Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
2381 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
2382 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
2384 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2386 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
2387 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
2388 already unset in the `defs' file.
2389 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
2390 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.

2403 Improve help message of mdate-sh.
2404 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
2406 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2408 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2409 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2410 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2412 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
2414 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2416 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.

2435 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
2436 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
2437 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to
