3 tests: fix bug (comments-in-var-defn.test + autoconf 2.62)
4 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: The configure.in stub created
5 by default, which has the AC_INIT first argument obtained by the
6 test name, causes autoconf 2.62 to fail with a spurious error
7 message like: "configure.in:1: error: defn: undefined macro:".
8 Thus, to prevent this, the test is renamed to ...
9 * tests/comments-in-var-def.test: ... this.
10 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
12 2011-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
14 cosmetics: convert encoding from ISO-8859 to UTF-8
15 * ChangeLog.03: Convert encoding to UTF-8.
16 * ChangeLog.96: Likewise.
17 * ChangeLog.98: Likewise.
21 2011-03-01 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
23 test defs: unindent without temporary file
24 * tests/defs.in (commented_sed_unindent_prog): Commented Sed program
25 that strips the "proper" amount of leading whitespace.
26 (unindent): Lazily strip comments from the above program and use it
27 to unindent without using a temporary file.
29 2011-02-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
31 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
32 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
33 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
34 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
35 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
36 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
37 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
38 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
39 * libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to macro
40 AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does
41 not fail for the wrong reasons.
42 * ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool support
43 works with LT_INIT-based interface.
44 Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.
46 2011-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
48 tests: tempdirs with restrictive permissions are cleaned correctly
49 Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory
50 containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as
51 'r--r--r--') could fail.
52 * tests/defs: Ensure that all the subdirectories of a temporary
53 test directory have the 'read', 'write' and 'execute' bits set,
54 before trying to remove it with `rm -rf'.
55 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Likewise.
57 2011-02-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
58 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
60 test defs: add subroutine for input unindenting

71 Suggestion by Jack Kelly.
73 2011-02-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
75 tests defs: clear TESTS_ENVIRONMENT variable
76 * tests/defs.in (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset it, so that values
77 from environment won't interfere with the testcases.
78 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
80 2011-02-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
82 tests: tweak few tests on simple and parallel test drivers
83 * tests/check-exported-srcdir.test: Improve heading comments.
84 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: Likewise. Also, unset the
85 `FOO_EXIT_STATUS' variable, so that any pre-existing value in the
86 environment won't risk to interfere with the test.
87 Suggestions by Ralf Wildenhues.
89 2011-02-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
91 coverage: more tests on simple and parallel test drivers

100 tests: fix spurious failures in lflags*.test
101 * tests/lflags.test: Remove 'LEX' from the environment, so
102 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
103 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
105 2011-01-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
107 docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
108 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
109 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
110 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
111 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
112 activated when it should.
114 2011-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
116 tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
117 * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
118 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
119 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
120 failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
122 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
124 coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags
125 * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"
126 per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects.
127 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
128 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
130 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
132 tests defs: sanitize IFS

136 ($nl): New variable, holding a newline character.
138 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
140 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
141 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
142 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
143 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.
145 2011-01-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
147 tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
148 * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
149 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
150 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
152 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
154 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
155 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
156 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
157 up its internal memory when copying this tree.
159 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
160 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

163 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Update comment.
165 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
167 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
168 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
169 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
171 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
173 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
174 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
175 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
176 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
177 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
178 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

181 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
183 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
184 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
185 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
186 parallel-tests driver.
188 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
190 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.
191 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Remove a previously existing
192 conftest.dir before recreating it.
194 Report by Eric Blake, from report by Scott McCreary against M4.
196 2011-01-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
198 tests: avoid failure on w32 file systems.
199 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: SKIP if file cannot
200 be turned unreadable.
202 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
204 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
205 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
206 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
207 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
209 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
211 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test
212 * tests/cond36.test ($required): Remove.
213 Since we are at it, add a trailing `:' command.

216 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
218 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
219 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
220 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
221 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
222 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
223 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
226 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
228 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
230 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
231 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
232 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
234 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
236 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
237 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
238 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
239 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
240 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.

252 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
253 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
255 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
257 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
259 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
260 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
261 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
262 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.

264 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
265 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.

295 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
296 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.

304 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
306 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
307 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
308 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
309 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
310 uselessly run it in a subshell.
311 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
312 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
313 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
315 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
317 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
318 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
319 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
320 Makefile.in stricter.
321 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
322 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
324 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
325 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
326 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
327 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
328 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
329 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
330 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
331 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
332 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
333 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
334 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
335 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
336 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
337 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
338 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
339 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
340 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
341 so they have been moved ...
342 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
343 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
344 trailing `:' command.
345 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
346 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
347 append to configure.in.
348 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
349 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
350 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
351 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
352 minor cosmetic improvements.
353 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
354 trailing `:' command.
355 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
356 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.
357 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

380 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
381 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to

383 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
384 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.
386 Fix typos in Rule.pm comments.

450 Fix two spurious testsuite failures on IRIX 6.5.
451 * tests/suffix13.test (Makefile.am): Account for VPATH issues on
452 weaker make implementations (e.g. IRIX 6.5).
453 * tests/parallel-tests8.test: Likewise, plus a required related

460 docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
461 * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
462 the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
463 least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
464 Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
466 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
468 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
469 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
470 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
471 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
472 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
473 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
474 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
475 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",
476 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-11/msg00162.html>

482 Fix sed-related buglet in test "subdir5.test"
483 * tests/subdir5.test: Always terminate text passed to the

525 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
526 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
527 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
528 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
529 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
530 tests that force gcc depmode.
531 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
532 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
533 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
534 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

645 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
646 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
647 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
648 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
649 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
650 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.

657 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
658 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
659 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
660 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
661 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
662 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
663 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various

700 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
701 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
702 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
703 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
704 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
705 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
706 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
707 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.

769 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'

1015 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that
1016 automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that
1017 the package developer can disable it altogether. Add a reference
1018 to the proper section for a more in-depth explanation.
1020 Fix typo in manual (`Makefile.in' instead of `Makefile.am').
1021 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Fix typo.
1023 2010-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1025 Don't hide the table of contents.
1026 * doc/automake.texi: Move the table of contents to the beginning.
1028 2010-08-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1030 Tweak and/or extend some `acloca*.test' tests.
1031 * tests/aclocal8.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured
1033 * tests/aclocal.test: Likewise. Also, add trailing `:'

1037 `$me' over hard-coded test name.
1038 * tests/aclocal6.test: Likewise.
1039 * tests/aclocal18.test: Add trailing `:' command, and make
1040 some grepping slightly stricter.
1041 * tests/acloca14.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `diff' over
1042 `cmp', and add some "cosmetic" blank lines.
1044 2010-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1046 Tweak and extend tests `pr[!0-9]*.test'.
1047 * tests/primary3.test: Add trailing `:' command.

1076 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
1077 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
1078 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
1079 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
1080 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.

1082 changes. Extend existing checks a bit.
1083 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise. Also, avoid obsolescent constructs in

1091 `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1092 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
1093 and add a "FIXME" comment.

1095 `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.
1096 * tests/pr279.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated

1099 shell flag, and related changes. Add trailing `:' command.
1100 * tests/pr279-2.test: Likewise, and make grepping of Makefile.in

1103 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Escape literal
1104 dots in grep regular expressions. Also, add a trailing `:'
1105 command, and cosmetic changes to spacing.
1107 Tests for PR: add excerpts from original bug report, for clarity.
1108 * tests/pr2.test: Ditto.

1117 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise.
1118 * tests/pr279.test: Likewise, and tell to keep it in sync
1119 with its sister test.
1120 * tests/pr279-2.test: Likewise.
1122 2010-08-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1141 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
1143 Modernize, improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test.
1144 * tests/colon.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1145 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Do not create
1146 a useless dummy file. Add trailing `:' command.
1147 * tests/colon4.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and
1148 related changes. Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by

1180 * tests/confvar2.test: Likewise.
1181 * tests/conflnk3.test: Cosmetic changes. Re-enable a temporarily
1182 disabled test (which didn't work with autoconf <= 2.59, but now we
1183 are requiring autoconf 2.62, so...)
1184 * tests/conflnk4.test: Cosmetic changes, and extend existing tests
1185 accordingly to "TODO" comments.
1186 * tests/conff2.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
1187 Add some comments explaining why we don't use the `configure.in'
1188 stub preset be ./defs.
1189 * tests/confh.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by ./defs,
1190 rather than writing one from scratch, and do not call AC_OUTPUT.

1216 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
1217 Add a trailing `:' command.
1218 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1219 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
1220 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1221 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1222 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
1223 trailing `:' command.
1224 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in
1225 grep regexps. Always use `: >' rather than `touch' to create empty

1228 * tests/depcomp4.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in
1229 grep regexp. Explicitly declare phony targets as such in the
1230 created Makefile.am. Ensure verbose printing of captured makes'
1231 stoud/stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
1232 * tests/depcomp5.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier

1243 Separate failing part of test `all.test'.
1244 * tests/all.test: Keep only (x)failing part of the test. Working

1272 (configure.in): Use the stub created by `./defs', rather than
1273 writing it from scratch, and avoid obsolescent constructs.
1274 * tests/subobj9.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1275 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1276 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1277 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1278 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1279 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1280 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1297 `eval' builtin. Fixed a botched error message. Removed an
1300 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1301 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1302 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1304 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.
1305 * bootstrap ($AUTOCONF): New variable, from the environment.
1306 ($AUTOM4TE): Likewise, for clarity.
1307 Use "$AUTOCONF" instead of calling "autoconf" directly.
1309 Minor improvements to tests ar*.test.
1310 * tests/ar.test: Add trailing `:' command.
1311 * tests/ar2.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated

1316 Fix maintainer-check failure.
1317 * tests/cond5.test: Quote sleep argument, this isn't about
1318 time stamp differences.
1320 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
1321 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:

1362 variable, rather than re-evaluating the shell expression for
1364 * tests/cond40.test: Extend test.
1367 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1368 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1383 * tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
1384 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1385 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1386 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
1387 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
1388 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
1389 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
1390 `subdir5.test' here).
1391 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.
1392 * tests/subdir9.test: Define and use new variable `$distdir'. Add

1395 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
1396 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing

1398 autoconf/automake macros.
1400 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1401 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1402 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1403 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the

1420 test Makefile.am files. Add a trailing `:' command.
1421 * tests/distname.test: Prefer `gzip -d' over `gunzip'. Move the
1422 call to `set -e' earlier. Be stricter and more verbose in the
1423 checking of the generated tarball.
1424 (configure.in): Use the stub provided by ./defs, instead of
1425 writing it from scratch. Avoid obsoleted constructs. Remove
1426 useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.

1430 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1432 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1433 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1434 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1435 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1436 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1437 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1438 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1440 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1441 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1442 writing one from scratch.
1444 2010-06-26 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1476 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1477 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1478 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
1479 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).

1556 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1557 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1558 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1559 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1560 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.

1574 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1576 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1577 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1578 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1580 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.

1603 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1604 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1605 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1606 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1607 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1609 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1610 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1611 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

1613 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1614 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1629 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1630 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1632 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1633 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1697 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1699 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.

1710 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1711 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1712 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1713 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1714 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.

1803 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1804 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1805 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1806 known extension EXT.

1910 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1911 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without

1961 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1962 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1963 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
1965 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1967 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
1968 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1969 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
1970 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
1971 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
1973 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1975 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1976 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1977 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1978 double-quotes and backquotes.
1980 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1982 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1984 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1985 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1986 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1987 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1988 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1989 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1990 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1993 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1995 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1996 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1997 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1999 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
2000 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
2001 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
2004 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2006 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2007 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2008 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2010 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
2011 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
2012 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
2014 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2015 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
2016 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
2017 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
2018 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
2020 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2023 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
2024 missing closing parenthesis.
2026 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
2027 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2028 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2030 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2032 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2033 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2036 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2038 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2039 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2040 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2041 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2044 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2046 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2047 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2048 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2049 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2050 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2052 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2053 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2054 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2056 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2057 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2058 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2059 Also, bumped copyright years.
2061 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2063 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2064 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2065 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2067 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2068 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2069 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2070 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2072 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2074 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2075 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2076 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2077 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2078 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2079 cause the whole test to fail.
2081 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2083 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2084 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2085 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2087 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2089 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2090 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2091 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2092 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2094 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2096 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2097 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
2099 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
2100 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2103 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2105 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2106 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2107 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2108 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2109 and unstable exit status values.
2110 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2111 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2112 $warnings_are_errors.
2113 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
2114 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2117 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2119 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2120 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2121 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2122 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2124 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2125 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2126 succeds unexpectedly.
2128 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2129 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2130 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2131 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
2133 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2135 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
2136 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
2137 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2138 Report by Pavel Sanda.
2140 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2142 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2143 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2144 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2147 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2148 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2149 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2150 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2153 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2155 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2156 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
2157 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
2158 Suggested by Karl Berry.
2160 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2162 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2163 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2166 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2168 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
2169 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
2170 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2171 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
2172 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2174 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2175 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2177 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
2178 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
2179 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
2180 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
2181 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
2182 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
2183 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
2184 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
2186 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
2188 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
2189 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
2190 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
2191 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
2192 * tests/parallel-tests4.test: Likewise.

2199 * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"):
2200 Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
2201 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
2202 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
2204 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2206 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
2207 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
2208 already unset in the `defs' file.
2209 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
2210 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.

2223 Improve help message of mdate-sh.
2224 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
2226 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2228 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
2229 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
2230 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
2232 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
2234 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2236 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
2237 * tests/extra10.test: New test, check basic support of wildcards
2239 * tests/extra11.test: New test, check more complex usage of

2255 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
2256 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
2257 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to
2259 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_pre): Use `exit 143' in signal handler.
2260 * lib/elisp-comp: Likewise.
2261 * lib/install-sh: Likewise.

2279 Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
2280 * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
2281 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
2282 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
2284 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
2286 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
2287 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls

2289 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
2290 Updated copyright years.
2291 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
2293 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
2294 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the
2295 filesystem, which were erroneously left out from $(TESTS):
2296 acoutbs2.test, badopt.test, extra2.test.
2297 (XFAIL_TESTS): Added acoutbs2.test.
