39 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
40 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
41 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
42 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
43 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
44 tests that force gcc depmode.
45 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
46 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...

159 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
160 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
161 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
162 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
163 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
164 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
165 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
166 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf

171 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
172 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
173 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
174 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
175 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
176 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
177 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
178 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
180 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

197 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
199 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
200 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use

214 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
215 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
216 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
217 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
218 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
219 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
220 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
221 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
222 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
223 Reported by Andy Wingo.

229 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
230 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
231 of test `vala2.test'.
233 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

240 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
241 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
243 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
244 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
245 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
246 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.

272 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
273 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
274 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
275 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to

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

320 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
321 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
322 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
323 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on

457 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
458 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent

528 Docs: clarify how to avoid automatic dependencies tracking.
529 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that
530 automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that
531 the package developer can disable it altogether. Add a reference
532 to the proper section for a more in-depth explanation.
534 Fix typo in manual (`Makefile.in' instead of `Makefile.am').
535 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Fix typo.

588 * tests/pr224.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
589 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
590 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
591 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
592 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
593 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.

699 accordingly to "TODO" comments.

734 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
735 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
736 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
737 trailing `:' command.
738 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in

752 configure.in. Cosmetic fixes to spacing. Make the "dummy" `if'
753 statement required by OpenBSD's sh `set -e' more robust, and add
754 explanatory comments to it.
755 * tests/depcomp7.test: Likewise, and add a trailing `:' command.
757 Separate failing part of test `all.test'.

915 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
916 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
917 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
918 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
919 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
920 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a

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

990 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
991 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of

1011 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1012 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1014 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1016 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1017 `make dist' to fail.

1025 and AM_LFLAGS, LFLAGS in the order in which they now appear in
1028 * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
1029 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1030 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1031 declaration, to please compilers.
1033 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1035 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1036 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1037 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1038 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over

1040 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1043 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1044 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1045 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1046 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1048 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.

1068 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1069 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1070 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1071 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1072 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
1073 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1074 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
1075 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the
1076 env(1) utility, and make grepping of make output stricter by using

1084 2010-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1086 Add useful comment in test script ext.test.
1087 * tests/ext.test: Add a comment explaining why an apparently
1088 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
1090 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
1091 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
1092 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
1094 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
1095 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the
1096 definition of this variable.

1109 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1110 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1111 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
1112 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
1113 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
1114 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1115 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1116 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1117 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1118 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1119 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1120 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1121 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1123 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1124 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1125 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1126 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1127 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1128 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1140 here-doc, not using echo.
1141 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1142 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1143 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1144 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1146 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1147 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

1204 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1206 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.

1208 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
1209 test scripts can indeed be useful.
1211 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1213 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
1214 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way

1221 Prepend it to all error messages.
1223 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
1224 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
1225 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
1226 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
1227 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
1228 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
1230 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1232 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1233 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
1234 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.

1236 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
1237 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
1238 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
1239 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
1240 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
1241 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
1242 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
1243 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,

1316 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
1317 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
1318 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
1319 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
1320 known extension EXT.

1424 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
1425 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without

1464 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
1465 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
1466 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
1467 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.

1482 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
1483 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated

1489 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
1490 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
1491 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
1492 double-quotes and backquotes.
1494 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
1496 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1498 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
1499 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
1500 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
1501 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
1502 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
1503 eliminate such inconsistencies.
1504 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
1507 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1509 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
1510 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
1511 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
1513 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
1514 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
1515 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
1518 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1520 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1521 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1522 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1524 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
1525 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
1526 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
1528 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1529 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
1530 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
1531 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
1532 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
1534 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1537 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
1538 missing closing parenthesis.
1540 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
1541 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
1542 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
1544 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1546 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
1547 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
1550 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1552 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
1553 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
1554 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
1555 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
1558 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1560 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
1561 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
1562 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
1563 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
1564 Also, bumped the copyright years.
1566 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
1567 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
1568 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
1570 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
1571 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
1572 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
1573 Also, bumped copyright years.
1575 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1577 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
1578 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
1579 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
1581 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
1582 * tests/configure.test: New test.
1583 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
1584 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
1586 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1588 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
1589 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
1590 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
1591 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
1592 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
1593 cause the whole test to fail.
1595 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1597 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
1598 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
1599 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
1601 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1603 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
1604 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
1605 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
1606 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
1608 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1610 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
1611 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
1613 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
1614 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
1617 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1619 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
1620 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
1621 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
1622 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
1623 and unstable exit status values.
1624 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
1625 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
1626 $warnings_are_errors.
1627 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
1628 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
1631 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1633 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1634 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
1635 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
1636 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
1638 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
1639 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
1640 succeds unexpectedly.
1642 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
1643 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
1644 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1645 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
1647 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1649 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
1650 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
1651 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
1652 Report by Pavel Sanda.
1654 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1656 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
1657 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
1658 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
1661 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
1662 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
1663 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
1664 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
1667 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1669 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
1670 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
1671 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
1672 Suggested by Karl Berry.
1674 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
1676 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
1677 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
1680 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1682 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
1683 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
1684 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
1685 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
1686 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
1688 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1689 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1691 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
1692 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
1693 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
1694 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
1695 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
1696 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
1697 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
1698 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
1700 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
1702 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
1703 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
1704 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
1705 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
1706 * tests/parallel-tests4.test: Likewise.

1713 * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"):
1714 Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests'
1715 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
1716 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
1718 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1720 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
1721 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
1722 already unset in the `defs' file.
1723 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
1724 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.

1737 Improve help message of mdate-sh.
1738 * mdate-sh: mention actual output format in help message.
1740 2010-02-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1742 Deprecate dist-lzma in favor of dist-xz.
1743 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions, Options):
1744 Adjust text to reflect renaming of lzma to xz.
1746 Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
1748 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1750 Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
1751 * tests/extra10.test: New test, check basic support of wildcards
1753 * tests/extra11.test: New test, check more complex usage of

1769 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
1770 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
1771 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to

1774 * lib/elisp-comp: Likewise.
1775 * lib/install-sh: Likewise.

1793 Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
1794 * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
1795 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
1796 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
1798 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
1800 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
1801 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls
1802 to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and remove explicit definition of
1803 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
1804 Updated copyright years.
1805 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
1807 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
1808 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the
1809 filesystem, which were erroneously left out from $(TESTS):
1810 acoutbs2.test, badopt.test, extra2.test.
1811 (XFAIL_TESTS): Added acoutbs2.test.
