-       * Makefile.am (sc_diff_automake_in_automake): Removed an extra
-       semicolon in target's rules, which prevented a stdout redirection
-       from working.
-
-2009-12-21  Julien Danjou  <julien@danjou.info>  (tiny change)
-
-       Add support for newer python version

-
-       Replace unlzma, gunzip, bunzip2 with pack tool -d invocation.
-       * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): Use lzma -d, gzip -d, bzip2 -d,

-       on another tool.
-       * THANKS: Update.
-
-2009-12-05  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       Use $DJDIR rather than $DJGPP to detect running on DJGPP.
-       * automake.in (Language): Use $ENV{'DJDIR'} for the
-       $ENV{'SHELL'} override.
-       * bootstrap: Use $DJDIR for setting BOOTSTRAP_SHELL, to fix
-       bootstrapping under MinGW when $DJGPP has been set.
-
-       Do not rely on Perl symlink status, for MSYS perl.
-       * automake.in (require_file_internal): Ensure presence of
-       symlink target file; MSYS perl symlink doesn't return an error
-       status when the file could not be created (copied, on this
-       system).  Fixes symlink.test failure.
-
-2009-12-04  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
-           Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

-2009-11-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
-
-       do not put world-writable directories in distribution tarballs
-       * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Do not make all directories

-       * tests/subpkg4.test (test-distdir-is-readable): Check for new,
-       more restricted permissions.
-
-2009-11-29  Karl Berry  <karl@freefriends.org>
-
-       Rewrite `gnupload --help' examples.
-       * lib/gnupload: Use GNU style version numbers, a generic package
-       name, and more useful examples.

-
-2009-10-31  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
-           Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       Don't let an envvar setting of "$fail" cause build failure.
-       Without this change, in a project using an automake-generated
-       Makefile, "make fail=anything" would fail inappropriately,
-       due to the `test -z "$$fail"' at the end of this emitted rule:
-       * lib/am/subdirs.am ($(RECURSIVE_TARGETS)): Initialize "fail=" to keep
-       an envvar setting of that variable from causing unwarranted failure.
-       ($(RECURSIVE_CLEAN_TARGETS)): Likewise.
-       * tests/subdir10.test: New test.
-       * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
-
-2009-10-17  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
-       * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub,
-       lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
-
-       Doc and comment typos.
-       * automake.in (handle_ltlibraries): Fix typo in comment.
-       * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
-       * tests/lisp5.test: Likewise.
-       * doc/automake.texi (Usage of Conditionals): Fix typo.
-
-2009-10-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       Fix race condition in werror2.test due to sanity sleep change.
-       * tests/werror2.test: Generate Makefile.in before configure so
-       that a Makefile.am update after configure has run is guaranteed
-       to be newer than Makefile.in.
-       * tests/subdir5.test: Document why this test does not need to be
-       fixed.
-       * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise.
-
-       Improve description of the various *LINK variables.
-       * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): _LINK also
-       receives libraries to link against.  _LINK may be generated.
-       (Program Variables): Document reasons when per-target _LINK is
-       used instead of LINK.
-       (How the Linker is Chosen): Document how a per-target _LINK
-       variable and per-target link flags override linker selection.
-       * THANKS: Update.
-       Report by Dave Korn against gcc/libstdc++-v3.
-
-       Allow variable override of, rather than by, silent variables.
-       When overriding variables, check the VAR_SILENT status of the
-       old condition, not the new one: we allow non-silent overrides
-       of silent variables (these do not hit ordering bugs in the
-       automake output), but there is no use case for doing so the
-       other way round.  Fixes conditional overrides of variables
-       annotated AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE in configure.ac.
-       * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_check_ambiguous_condition): Check
-       for VAR_SILENT in $ambig_cond not $cond.
-       * tests/cond44.test, tests/cond45.test: New tests, analogous to
-       cond23.test and cond24.test.
-       * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
-       Spotted originally in binutils/bfd.
-
-       Fix `make clean check' for the Automake package.
-       * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add `.' before `tests',
-       so that Config.pm is built first.
-
-       Fix in-tree `recheck' after failed test that runs `check'.
-       If a test like pr401b-p.test fails for some reason, a `make
-       recheck' would cause another reason for failure because it sets
-       AM_MAKEFLAGS which gets propagated into the test and causes its
-       `make check' to fail.
-       * tests/defs.in: Also unset AM_MAKEFLAGS.
-
-2009-10-11  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
-
-       Updated code enabling Bourne-compatibility in test scripts.
-       * tests/defs.in: updated the code enabling Bourne-compatibility
-       mode in the shell (now it's copied from autoconf 2.64).
-
-       Avoid leaking TEST_LOG_COMPILER in environment of test scripts.
-       * tests/defs.in: Unset variable `TEST_LOG_COMPILER'.
-
-2009-10-07  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
-
-       Testsuite: do not use `chmod -R' when cleaning up.
-       * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Do not use `chmod -R' on
-       the test directories, as that may change or try to change the mode
-       of installed files: the test directory may contain symlinks to
-       ltmain.sh files from a Libtool installation, and Solaris `chmod -R'
-       touches symlink targets.  Instead, use the cleanup strategy used
-       in distdir.am (which is also employed in tests/defs.in).
-
-2009-10-06  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>
-           Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       Fix 'compile' script to not call mv when target equals source.
-       * lib/compile: Don't attempt to move the generated file to its
-       target destination when it is already at the target destination.
-       Avoids an mv failure with subdir-objects.
-       * tests/ccnoco3.test: New test.
-       * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
-
-2009-10-01  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>  (tiny change)
-
-       Fix recommended way to run automake's test scripts with Zsh.
-       * tests/README (Supported shells): Changed the recommended way
-       to run automake's test scripts with Zsh.  Now we tell to use
-       the Zsh's command line option `-o no_function_argzero', not
-       `--no-function-argzero', since the latter does not work with
-       versions 3.x of Zsh.
-
-2009-09-18  Peter Johansson  <trojkan@gmail.com>  (tiny change)
-
-       Fix link to "Recursive Make Considered Harmful" paper.
-       * doc/automake.texi (Alternative): Fix broken URL.
-
-2009-09-11  Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>  (tiny patch)
-
-       Fix outdated reference to sh-utils in the manual.
-       * doc/automake.texi (Options): The reference to `sh-utils'
-       should be to `coreutils'.
-
-2009-09-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       Avoid sleeping for one second most of the time in sanity check.
-       * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Try sanity check first without
-       sleeping for a second, and only if that failed, sleep and try
-       again, to avoid the delay in the common case of a configure
-       script that is older than a second, or a system with sub-second
-       time stamp granularity.
-       Report and different patch by Jim Meyering.
-
-2009-09-06  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>  (tiny change)
-
-       tests/README: warn about zsh incompatibilities.
-       * tests/README (User interface, Getting details from failures):
-       Explicitly state that every test is a "shell script", not just
-       a "script", and that it's run by `/bin/sh' by default.
-       * tests/README (User interface, Supported shells): New subsection,
-       telling about expected portability of the automake test scripts,
-       describing a zsh incompatibility (w.r.t. $0), and a workaround to
-       it (with the `--no-function-argzero' option).
-
-       testsuite: fix a minor glitch.
-       * tests/defs.in (exit trap): Use `$me', not `$as_me', as the
-       name of the current test (used in error messages).
-       * THANKS: Update.
-
-2009-07-08  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
-
-       manual: fix a trivial grammar error.
-       * doc/automake.texi (Invoking aclocal): Fix grammar.
-
-2009-06-07  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       AM_PROG_GCJ: use AC_CHECK_TOOLS for gcj, for cross compilation.
-       * m4/gcj.m4 (AM_PROG_GCJ): Use AC_CHECK_TOOLS, rather than
-       AC_CHECK_PROGS, when searching for `gcj'.
-       * NEWS: Update.
-       Report by Jack Kelly.
-
-2009-05-24  Jack Kelly  <endgame.dos@gmail.com>  (tiny change)
-           Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

-2009-05-24  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       parallel-tests: avoid GNU make 3.80 substitution bug.
-       * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (check-TESTS): Remove any
-       `.log' entries from `$(TEST_LOGS)' even if the list is nonempty,
-       to work around GNU make 3.80 substitution reference issue with
-       trailing white space in the variable.
-       * tests/parallel-tests10.test: New test.
-       * tests/parallel-tests6.test: Update comment.

-       * NEWS: Update.
-       Report by Bob Friesenhahn.
-
-2009-05-23  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       testsuite: unset installation directory variables.
-       * tests/defs.in: Before test execution, be sure to unset all
-       installation directory variables, so they cannot have an effect
-       on a `make -e install' command within a test.
-       Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
-
-       testsuite: do not change the mode of installed Libtool files.
-       * tests/defs.in: Do not use `chmod -R' on the test directory, as
-       that may change or try to change the mode of installed files:
-       the test directory may contain symlinks to ltmain.sh files from
-       a Libtool installation, and Solaris `chmod -R' touches symlink
-       targets.  Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in distdir.am.
-       * NEWS: Update.
-       Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
-
-       testsuite: do not fail in cleanup code.
-       * tests/defs.in: Turn off errexit in the cleanup trap, to avoid
-       a test failure due to a nonzero command.
-       * THANKS: Update.
-       Report by Dagobert Michelsen.
-
-2009-05-23  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>
-
-       python: do not install in system directories on Darwin 9.
-       On Darwin 9, get_python_lib returns a path below `/Library/Python'
-       regardless of the `prefix' argument it was passed, causing `make
-       install' to target the system directories regardless of `--prefix'
-       argument used.  Work around this Darwin bug by ignoring the result
-       of get_python_lib if it points outside of the passed prefix, and
-       the prefix was not a system directory.
-       * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): If the prefix does not match the
-       initial portion of the pythondir returned by get_python_lib, then
-       ignore it unless the configured prefix is `/usr' or starts with
-       `/System'.  Fixes instmany-python.test failure on Mac OS X 10.5.7.
-       * NEWS: Update.
-
-2009-05-23  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       Clarify how to enable `silent-rules' and other global options.
-       * doc/automake.texi (Options): When introducing options, be more
-       careful to note that not all of them can be specified in
-       AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS statements, and that some do not make sense in
-       subdirectories.  Note more prominently that `silent-rules' can
-       only be specified in configure.ac.
-       * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Improve error
-       message for `silent-rules', `tar-v7', `tar-ustar', `tar-pax'
-       options specified in Makefile.am files.
-       Report by Bruno Haible.

-
-       Revert last patch, IRIX has an editor named `jot'.
-       * tests/instmany-mans.test: Do not try `jot'.
-       * tests/instmany-python.test: Likewise.
-       * tests/instmany.test: Likewise.
-       Report by Peter O'Gorman.
-
-2009-05-18  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       testsuite: also try `jot' as `seq' replacement.
-       * tests/instmany-mans.test: Try BSD `jot' before resorting to a
-       slow but portable shell loop.
-       * tests/instmany-python.test: Likewise.
-       * tests/instmany.test: Likewise.
-       Suggestion by Peter O'Gorman.
-
-       Fix test failure when pkg.m4 is not found, only pkg-config.
-       * tests/vala5.test: Update comment, this test is not expected to
-       fail any more.  Require valac version 0.7.0.  Skip if configure
-       fails, could be due to unexpanded PKG_CHECK_MODULES or too old
-       valac.
-       Report by Simon Josefsson.

-       * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Use `$(am__cd)' instead
-       of plain `cd'.
-       * tests/vala2.test: Use `rm -f' instead of `rm'.
-
-       Revert Automake license to GPLv2+.
-       Automake will move to GPLv3+ once the Exception statement has
-       been rewritten to use the new GPLv3 exception language.  This
-       change does not impact the COPYING file that may be installed
-       by `automake --add-missing'.
-       * COPYING: Revert to GPLv2.  All uses changed.
-       * NEWS: Update.

-       * Makefile.am (release-stats): Output stderr of pstops in
-       addition to catching it, for better debugging.
-       * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.10.2.
-
-       Cope with parallel BSD make -jN semantics.
-       When BSD `make -jN' is used without `-B' which enables backwards
-       compatible semantics, it may reuse the same shell for several
-       commands within a rule; so ensure we do not leave it in a
-       different directory, nor `exit 0' early in a multi-command rule.
-       * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): After running `distcleancheck',
-       change back to original working directory.
-       * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_HIN%): Run autoheader in a
-       subshell.
-       * lib/am/mans.am (uninstall-man%SECTION%): Do not `exit 0' early
-       in a rule that consists of several shell invocations.  Parallel
-       NetBSD `make -jN' without `-B' will use only one shell for all
-       commands, but won't respawn one after `exit 0'.  Fixes
-       notrans.test failure.
-       * tests/makej2.test: New test.
-       * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
-
-       Fix typo in comment.
-       * lib/am/install.am: Fix typo.

-
-       Let AM_PATH_PYTHON honor python's idea about the site directory.
-       * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): When computing pythondir and
-       pyexecdir, pass the expanded prefix resp. exec_prefix as `prefix'
-       to get_python_lib, so python can determine the name of the site
-       directory depending on the install location.  Afterwards, replace
-       the directory names with the unexpanded values of $PYTHON_PREFIX
-       resp. $PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX again, to allow override according to
-       the documentation.  Fixes site directory computation for Debian
-       and Ubuntu (`dist-packages' for a prefix of `/usr' or `/usr/local',
-       `site-packages' elsewhere).

-       Vala: for now, require GNU make.
-       * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): GNU make is currently

-
-2009-05-17  Jürg Billeter  <j@bitron.ch>
-
-       Vala: Use $(srcdir) in rebuild rules.
-       valac is always run in srcdir as the generated files are distributed.
-       So srcdir needs to be taken into account in the rebuild rules to not
-       wrongly trigger a rebuild in the wrong directory.
-       * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Rebuild files in
-       $(srcdir).
-       * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules from VPATH build.
-
-       Vala: Add and test rebuild rules for generated header and vapi files.
-       valac will generate additional files when using, for example, -H in
-       VALAFLAGS. We need to recognize these options and add appropriate
-       rebuild rules to fix parallel build.
-       * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Recognize -H, -h,
-       --header, --internal-header, --vapi, --internal-api, --gir flags
-       to valac and rebuild rules for generated headers; distribute
-       and maintainer-clean them.

-
-       Vala: Fix build when using per-target VALAFLAGS.
-       This does not yet implement full per-target support for VALAFLAGS,
-       however, this change at least fixes building when there is only one
-       target per source file, which is the most common situation.
-       * automake.in: Remove `VALAFLAGS' from `flags' in language struct.
-       (lang_vala_finish_target): Handle `*_VALAFLAGS rewriting' manually
-       here; check `VALAFLAGS' user variables.
-       * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove vala5.test.

-
-       Correctly treat all assignments with bogus trailing comments.
-       Before this patch, automake would silently fail to diagnose and

-       * tests/instfail-info.test: Do not use the `non-root'
-       requirement for testing whether files may be made unreadable;

-       This patch fixes a couple of testsuite bugs exposed with

-       * tests/libtoo10.test: Do not run `clean' in same $MAKE
-       invocation as `all check'.  Fixes test failure with parallel
-       NetBSD `make -jN'.
-       * tests/nobase.test: Be sure to create a directory before
-       creating files in it.  Fixes test failure with MAKE=`make -jN'
-       for NetBSD make.  This issue is hidden with parallel GNU make
-       due to its parallel breadth first update order.
-       * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Skip if $MAKE contains `-j',
-       GNU make will use the environment variable $MAKE for recursion
-       and thus run in parallel even if `$MAKE -j1' was used on the
-       command line in the test.  Also, after running the test proper,

-2009-04-13  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       silent-rules reorganization, --enable-silent-rules switch.
-       This patch introduces a configure-time option to set the default
-       verbosity.  Since configure now needs to know whether the
-       `silent-rules' automake option was set, the latter can only be
-       set within AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, or with a new AM_SILENT_RULES macro
-       but not any more through AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or the automake
-       command line option `--silent-rules'.
-       * automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define the default verbose
-       variable in terms of `$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'.
-       (handle_configure): Do not pass `--silent-rules' to automake.

-
-       For PR automake/533:
-       DISTFILES containing a directory and files in that directory.
-       When the source tree contains non-writable files or directories
-       (as happens during distcheck), and directories or entries
-       thereof are listed multiple times in variables to be
-       distributed, then the corresponding directories below $(distdir)
-       need to be made writable recursively.  Since file modes should
-       not change, they need to be copied recursively using `cp -f'.

-       prevent parallelism selectively, when multiple targets are
-       passed on the `make' command line.
-       * lib/am/distdir.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): New
-       macro.

-       * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Ignore
-       empty line stemming from empty $(TEST_LOGS), to avoid counting
-       zero tests as one.

-
-       Use append mode to capture parallel test output.

-       * tests/gen-parallel-tests: New file, generates distributed
-       Makefile.am snippet tests/parallel-tests.am to list all tests

-
-       Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution.
-       Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page
-       containing an error message, and exit 1.  This does not play
-       well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page
-       as being up to date, and will only error out on the next
-       generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done.
-       This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case,
-       but `make dist' will ensure that no such man pages are packaged.
-       * lib/missing: Exit successfully even if we create a replacement
-       page due to missing help2man.
-       * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Define %HAVE-MANS% to be true

-       * aclocal.in: No threads here.

-       cache when a file has been installed, simply correct the cache
-       using set_dir_cache_file.
-
-       No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
-       There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
-       are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent
-       as non-critical messages before), and verbose messages should

-       * doc/automake.texi (Length limitations): New node.

-       like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.
-       * tests/ltorder.test: Add program, to expose this.
-
-       Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
-       This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
-       LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
-       It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
-       implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
-       listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
-       As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
-       nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
-       passed to libtool in one invocation.
-       * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES) [!%?BASE%]: Do not
-       reorder libraries upon installation.  Remove spurious empty
-       line.

-       track the dirname of nobase ltlibraries, and tack it onto the
-       end of the -rpath argument.  Also, fix the warning about ltlibs
-       installed in multiple locations to fit a bit better.
-       * tests/pr300-ltlib.test: Expose this bug here.
-       * tests/ltinstloc.test: New test.
-       * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

-       * configure.ac (HELP2MAN): New substitution.
-       * doc/Makefile.am (dist_man1_MANS, MAINTAINERCLEANFILES)
-       (update_mans): New macros.

-2008-09-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
-       For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
-       we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
-       will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
-       Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
-       of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files.  There,
-       lower the limit to 40, too.
-       * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
-       (am__base_list): New macro.

-
-2008-09-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       Use `Exit' instead of `exit' in test suite.
-       Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
-       `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
-       * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
-       use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
-       Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
-       `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.
-       * tests/defs.in (Exit): New function.  Use it throughout,
-       starting with the introduction of the exit trap.

-       Avoid Heisenbug with verbose testing on HP-UX.

-       from output for comparison.
-
-       For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
-       Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
-       extraneous output.  This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a
-       relative subdir, to prevent CDPATH from entering an unwanted
-       directory.
-       * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fix current check for
-       $(am__cd) within backquotes a bit.  Add new check for `cd' to a
-       relative subdir.

-       * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
-       via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
-       will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make.  So move the
-       creation of the files outside of the Makefile.

-       it.  Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.

-       With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
-       to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
-       This isn't yet done with base targets.  One hope is that there,
-       the typical file name length is lower.  If this turns out to be

-       Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same

-       $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before

-       and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
-       installed.
-       * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
-       (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
-       * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.

-       * lib/depcomp (gcc3): Put dependency extraction flags before the
-       `-c' flag, so they appear at the same position as in %FASTDEP%
-       mode in depend2.am.  Fixes build failure for FreeBSD's c89,
-       which ignores unknown options only after the first non-option.
-       Bug report against M4 by Nelson H. F. Beebe.

-
-       * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
-       which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
-       directory.  In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
-       equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
-       system.  We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
-       fixing.  Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
-       <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.

-       Abbreviate output a bit by not bothering to quote the .Po file
-       name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
-       bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).
-       This also lets 'make' run faster by avoiding a subshell.
-
-2006-08-30  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       * automake.in: Fortran 77 and Fortran should require variables

-       non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.
-       * tests/subpkg.test: Make sure config headers are found in VPATH
-       and non-VPATH builds.

-
-       * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"

-       handled.
-       * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
-       AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
-       definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
-       Report from Bas Wijnen.
-       * tests/amopt.test: New test.
-       * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
-
-       * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
-       new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null.  So
-       create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
-       file, and erase it afterward.  Fall back to using /dev/null only
-       if we cannot create this file.
-       Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
-       (unlink_tmp): New function.
-       * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
-
-2006-08-04  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
-       do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
-       to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
-       Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
-       depdir computation.
-       * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
-       Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
-       main program.
-       * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.

-       can install only one file at a time.
-       (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
-       (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
-       (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
-       cause weird behavior with the other changes below.  All later uses
-       of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
-       Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
-       octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
-       likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
-       octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
-       'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
-       <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
-       (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
-       temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
-       (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
-       intermediate directories; this is safer.
-       (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
-       /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
-       HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
-       Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
-       traditional implementations.
-
-2006-07-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
-
-       * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.

-
-       * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
-       distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
-       and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
-       Fix some comment typos.
-
-2006-06-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
-       * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
-       7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
-       with `-MDupdate'.  Refine test to catch this.
-
-       * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
-       procedure.
-
-       * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
-       requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
-       this.  Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and

+       Without this change, in a project using an automake-generated
+       Makefile, "make fail=anything" would fail inappropriately,

+
+       Improve description of the various *LINK variables.
+       * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): _LINK also
+       receives libraries to link against.  _LINK may be generated.
+       (Program Variables): Document reasons when per-target _LINK is
+       used instead of LINK.
+       (How the Linker is Chosen): Document how a per-target _LINK
+       variable and per-target link flags override linker selection.
+       * THANKS: Update.
+       Report by Dave Korn against gcc/libstdc++-v3.
+
+       Allow variable override of, rather than by, silent variables.
+       When overriding variables, check the VAR_SILENT status of the
+       old condition, not the new one: we allow non-silent overrides
+       of silent variables (these do not hit ordering bugs in the
+       automake output), but there is no use case for doing so the
+       other way round.  Fixes conditional overrides of variables
+       annotated AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE in configure.ac.
+       * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_check_ambiguous_condition): Check
+       for VAR_SILENT in $ambig_cond not $cond.
+       * tests/cond44.test, tests/cond45.test: New tests, analogous to
+       cond23.test and cond24.test.
+       * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
+       Spotted originally in binutils/bfd.
+
+       Fix `make clean check' for the Automake package.
+       * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add `.' before `tests',
+       so that Config.pm is built first.
+
+       Fix in-tree `recheck' after failed test that runs `check'.
+       If a test like pr401b-p.test fails for some reason, a `make
+       recheck' would cause another reason for failure because it sets
+       AM_MAKEFLAGS which gets propagated into the test and causes its
+       `make check' to fail.
+       * tests/defs.in: Also unset AM_MAKEFLAGS.
+
+2009-10-11  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+       Updated code enabling Bourne-compatibility in test scripts.
+       * tests/defs.in: updated the code enabling Bourne-compatibility
+       mode in the shell (now it's copied from autoconf 2.64).
+
+       Avoid leaking TEST_LOG_COMPILER in environment of test scripts.
+       * tests/defs.in: Unset variable `TEST_LOG_COMPILER'.
+
+2009-10-07  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+       Testsuite: do not use `chmod -R' when cleaning up.
+       * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Do not use `chmod -R' on
+       the test directories, as that may change or try to change the mode
+       of installed files: the test directory may contain symlinks to
+       ltmain.sh files from a Libtool installation, and Solaris `chmod -R'
+       touches symlink targets.  Instead, use the cleanup strategy used
+       in distdir.am (which is also employed in tests/defs.in).
+
+2009-10-06  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>
+           Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       Fix 'compile' script to not call mv when target equals source.
+       * lib/compile: Don't attempt to move the generated file to its
+       target destination when it is already at the target destination.
+       Avoids an mv failure with subdir-objects.
+       * tests/ccnoco3.test: New test.
+       * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
+
+2009-10-01  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>  (tiny change)
+
+       Fix recommended way to run automake's test scripts with Zsh.
+       * tests/README (Supported shells): Changed the recommended way
+       to run automake's test scripts with Zsh.  Now we tell to use
+       the Zsh's command line option `-o no_function_argzero', not
+       `--no-function-argzero', since the latter does not work with
+       versions 3.x of Zsh.
+
+2009-09-18  Peter Johansson  <trojkan@gmail.com>  (tiny change)
+
+       Fix link to "Recursive Make Considered Harmful" paper.
+       * doc/automake.texi (Alternative): Fix broken URL.
+
+2009-09-11  Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>  (tiny patch)
+
+       Fix outdated reference to sh-utils in the manual.
+       * doc/automake.texi (Options): The reference to `sh-utils'
+       should be to `coreutils'.
+
+2009-09-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       Avoid sleeping for one second most of the time in sanity check.
+       * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Try sanity check first without
+       sleeping for a second, and only if that failed, sleep and try
+       again, to avoid the delay in the common case of a configure
+       script that is older than a second, or a system with sub-second
+       time stamp granularity.
+       Report and different patch by Jim Meyering.
+
+2009-09-06  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>  (tiny change)
+
+       tests/README: warn about zsh incompatibilities.
+       * tests/README (User interface, Getting details from failures):
+       Explicitly state that every test is a "shell script", not just
+       a "script", and that it's run by `/bin/sh' by default.

+       python: do not install in system directories on Darwin 9.
+       On Darwin 9, get_python_lib returns a path below `/Library/Python'
+       regardless of the `prefix' argument it was passed, causing `make
+       install' to target the system directories regardless of `--prefix'
+       argument used.  Work around this Darwin bug by ignoring the result
+       of get_python_lib if it points outside of the passed prefix, and
+       the prefix was not a system directory.
+       * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): If the prefix does not match the

+
+       Revert Automake license to GPLv2+.
+       Automake will move to GPLv3+ once the Exception statement has

+       change does not impact the COPYING file that may be installed

+       * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.10.2.
+
+       Cope with parallel BSD make -jN semantics.
+       When BSD `make -jN' is used without `-B' which enables backwards

+       * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): After running `distcleancheck',

+
+       Let AM_PATH_PYTHON honor python's idea about the site directory.

+       to get_python_lib, so python can determine the name of the site

+
+2009-05-17  Jürg Billeter  <j@bitron.ch>
+
+       Vala: Use $(srcdir) in rebuild rules.
+       valac is always run in srcdir as the generated files are distributed.
+       So srcdir needs to be taken into account in the rebuild rules to not

+

+       valac will generate additional files when using, for example, -H in
+       VALAFLAGS. We need to recognize these options and add appropriate
+       rebuild rules to fix parallel build.
+       * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Recognize -H, -h,

+       This does not yet implement full per-target support for VALAFLAGS,
+       however, this change at least fixes building when there is only one

+       * automake.in: Remove `VALAFLAGS' from `flags' in language struct.

+2009-04-14  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       testsuite: do not fail on systems without read permissions.
+       * tests/instfail-info.test: Do not use the `non-root'
+       requirement for testing whether files may be made unreadable;
+       instead use `test -r' and skip the test if that still works.
+       * tests/instfail-java.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/instfail-libtool.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/instfail.test: Likewise.

+
+       testsuite: parallel make fixes.
+       This patch fixes a couple of testsuite bugs exposed with
+       `MAKE=make\ -jN make check'.
+       * tests/libtoo10.test: Do not run `clean' in same $MAKE
+       invocation as `all check'.  Fixes test failure with parallel
+       NetBSD `make -jN'.
+       * tests/nobase.test: Be sure to create a directory before
+       creating files in it.  Fixes test failure with MAKE=`make -jN'
+       for NetBSD make.  This issue is hidden with parallel GNU make
+       due to its parallel breadth first update order.
+       * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Skip if $MAKE contains `-j',
+       GNU make will use the environment variable $MAKE for recursion
+       and thus run in parallel even if `$MAKE -j1' was used on the
+       command line in the test.  Also, after running the test proper,
+       wait long enough so that background jobs have finished and there
+       are no open files left when the cleanup code runs.
+
+2009-04-13  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       silent-rules reorganization, --enable-silent-rules switch.
+       This patch introduces a configure-time option to set the default
+       verbosity.  Since configure now needs to know whether the
+       `silent-rules' automake option was set, the latter can only be
+       set within AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, or with a new AM_SILENT_RULES macro
+       but not any more through AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or the automake
+       command line option `--silent-rules'.
+       * automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define the default verbose
+       variable in terms of `$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'.
+       (handle_configure): Do not pass `--silent-rules' to automake.
+       (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace `AM_SILENT_RULES'.  If seen,
+       enable global `silent-rules' option.
+       (usage): Do not document `--silent-rules'.
+       (parse_arguments): Do not accept `--silent-rules'.
+       * doc/automake.texi (Options): Overhaul.  Document
+       AM_SILENT_RULES, --enable-silent-rules, --disable-silent-rules,
+       AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY.  Show an example for user-added variables
+       for less verbose output.
+       (Invoking Automake): Remove documentation for `--silent-rules'.
+       (Public Macros): Document `AM_SILENT_RULES'.
+       * NEWS: Update.
+       * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
+       `silent-rules' only as option in configure.ac.
+       * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If the `silent-rules' option
+       was enabled, require `AM_SILENT_RULES'; move AM_BACKSLASH
+       initialization to ...
+       * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): ... this new file, new macro.
+       Deal with `--enable-silent-rules' switch; define
+       AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY.
+       * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add silent.m4.
+       * tests/dollarvar.test: Remove tests for `--silent-rules', use
+       `AM_SILENT_RULES'.
+       * tests/flavor.test: Remove test for `--silent-rules'.
+       * tests/silent.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
+       `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; use `--enable-silent-rules'.
+       * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/silent6.test: Likewise. Test `AM_SILENT_RULES' as well
+       as `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([silent-rules])' instead of
+       `--silent-rules'.
+       * tests/silent7.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
+       `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; ensure the latter is rejected.
+       Test combinations of --enable-silent-rules and
+       --disable-silent-rules with `make V=0' and `make V=1'.
+       Suggestion for configure-time switch by Bob Friesenhahn.
+
+       manual: Add note about parallelism and tests ordering.
+       * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
+       Dependencies between test logs work for tests with known
+       extensions only.  Hint that tests should be prepared to be run
+       in parallel.
+
+       Fix maintainer-check failure.
+       * tests/suffix13.test: Use Exit not exit.
+
+2009-04-10  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       parallel-tests: more testsuite exposure.
+       * tests/parallel-tests.test: Also test overriding TEST_LOGS and
+       TESTS.
+
+       parallel-tests: let VERBOSE=yes output appear before summary.
+       * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): In `VERBOSE=yes' mode,
+       output contents of `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' before, rather than after
+       the test suite summary.  This ensures that the email address
+       appears near the end of the output; also, the log file already
+       starts with a result summary anyway.
+
+       parallel-tests: `clean recheck' should not rerun all tests.
+       * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-html): Do not rerun all
+       tests if `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' does not exist.
+       * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Adjust recheck test.
+       * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Adjust recheck-html test.
+       * NEWS: Update.

+           Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
+
+       parallel-tests: Fix driver for nonempty executable extension.
+       * automake.in (handle_tests): New substitution `%am__EXEEXT%',
+       defined as 'FALSE' for non-generic rules, or if no programs are
+       built at all.  Otherwise, define it as configure conditional.
+       * lib/am/check2.am [%am__EXEEXT%] (%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log): New
+       conditional generic rule.
+       * m4/init.m4: Hook an m4_provide of `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' onto
+       Autoconf's `_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT' macro.
+       (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' has been provided
+       at `AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE' time, then introduce a conditional
+       `am__EXEEXT', defined to true iff `$EXEEXT' is nonempty.
+       * tests/check5.test: Only match `_EXEEXT_[1-9]' here, to avoid
+       false positives stemming from `@am__EXEEXT_TRUE@'.
+       * NEWS: Update.
+

+       %MAINTCLEAN%.
+       (clean-aminfo): New target, remove %TEXICLEAN% if nonemtpy,

+       for later.
+       (mostlyclean-aminfo): Remove %MOSTLYCLEAN%.
+       * automake.in (handle_texinfo_helper): Return three arrays
+       $MOSTLYCLEAN, $TEXICLEAN, $MAINTCLEAN, instead of one array.
+       Only put LaTeX helper files in $MOSTLYCLEAN, the rest in

+       (recheck-html): ... with this rule.  Pass TEST_LOGS rather than
+       RECHECK_LOGS to `check' and `check-html', respectively, to avoid

+
+       parallel-tests: LOG_COMPILER for tests without known extension.
+       * automake.in (handle_tests): If we don't match a known

+       $(AM_LOG_FLAGS) $(LOG_FLAGS)' and use it as %COMPILE% in check2.
+       * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
+       Document it.  In the examples, suggest using the AM_*LOG_FLAGS

+2009-03-29  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       Update AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS for parallel-tests.

+           Akim Demaille  <akim@lrde.epita.fr>
+
+       parallel-tests: redo lazy checking: recheck and RECHECK_LOGS.
+       Replace the LAZY_TEST_SUITE API with a simpler yet more powerful
+       one: RECHECK_LOGS specifies those tests which are to be removed
+       in any case before testing.  Provide a `recheck' convenience
+       target to set RECHECK_LOGS to all failed and unexpectedly passed
+       tests.  Document several ways to limit the set of tests run.
+       * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (RECHECK_LOGS): New variable,
+       default to $(TESTS_LOGS).
+       (check-TESTS): Remove $(RECHECK_LOGS) not $(TEST_LOGS).  Drop use
+       of LAZY_TEST_SUITE.
+       ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Do not output note about lazy rerun, as
+       LAZY_TEST_SUITE is gone.
+       (recheck): New target.
+       (recheck-am, recheck-TESTS): New internal targets.
+       * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Update @vindex for TESTS and
+       TEST_LOGS.  Replace description of LAZY_TEST_SUITE with a list
+       of ways the set of tests to be run can be modified.  Document
+       RECHECK_LOGS and the recheck target.
+       * tests/defs.in: Unset RECHECK_LOGS not LAZY_TEST_SUITE.
+       * tests/parallel-tests.test: Adjust, replacing LAZY_TEST_SUITE
+       with corresponding RECHECK_LOGS settings.
+       * tests/parallel-tests9.test: New tests.
+       * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
+       Suggestion and different implementation by Akim Demaille.
+
+       parallel-tests: do not mark check-TESTS as `.MAKE'.
+       * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Remove check-TESTS.
+       This rule removes files, which should not be executed with BSD
+       `make -n'.
+
+       parallel-tests: warn about $(srcdir), $(top_srcdir) in TESTS.
+       * automake.in (handle_tests): Warn about portability issue
+       concerning generated TESTS files listed with a `$(srcdir)/'
+       or `$(top_srcdir)/' prefix.
+       * doc/automake.texi (TESTS): Document this issue.  Mention that
+       the parallel-tests driver is still experimental.
+       * tests/parallel-tests8.test: New test.
+       * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
+
+       check-html: Always create HTML output, note conversion failure.
+       * lib/am/check.am (check-html): Create `$(TEST_SUITE_HTML)' in
+       any case.  Exit unsuccessfully if HTML creation failed.
+       * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Amend test to expose this.
+
+2009-03-24  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       parallel-tests: per-extension test driver: <EXT>_LOG_COMPILER.
+       For test files with extension <ext>, introduce the internal
+       variable <EXT>_LOG_COMPILE, which expands to
+       $(<EXT>_LOG_COMPILER) $(AM_<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS) $(<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS).
+       Turn also the lib/Automake/tests testsuite over to the new
+       test driver.
+       * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Document `EXT_LOG_COMPILER' and
+       `EXT_LOG_FLAGS'.
+       * lib/am/check2.am: Insert `%COMPILE%' right before test.
+       * automake.in (handle_tests): Substitute `COMPILE' for check2,
+       empty for tests without extension, and `$(ext_LOG_COMPILE)' for
+       extension `ext'.  In the latter case, define it from the public
+       components.
+       * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use `parallel-test' globally.
+       * tests/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove, not needed here
+       any more.
+       * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Split ...
+       (PL_LOG_COMPILER, PL_LOG_FLAGS): ... into these new variables.
+       (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): New variable, initialize to `.pl'.
+       * tests/parallel-tests7.test: New test.

+       Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
+
+2009-03-22  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       parallel-tests: also record logs of SKIPped tests.
+       * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Record
+       SKIPs as well.
+       Suggested by Jim Meyering.
+
+       Minor optimization in parallel-tests text box creation.
+       * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL-TESTS] (am__text_box): Use only one
+       awk invocation, rather than several tools, to create a text box.
+       Suggestion from Akim Demaille.

+
+       Sane (un)install for empty directory variables.
+       This patch fixes all install and uninstall rules to behave
+       sanely when $(wheredir) is the empty string, but $(where_HOW) is
+       nonempty, for all kinds of values of `where' and `HOW'.
+       * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%, uninstall-%DIR%%PRIMARY%):

+       Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
+
+       Ensure that empty directory variables work with empty content variables.
+       This test ensures that, if both $(wheredir) and $(where_HOW) are

+
+2009-03-23  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

+           Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       For PR automake/533:
+       DISTFILES containing a directory and files in that directory.
+       When the source tree contains non-writable files or directories
+       (as happens during distcheck), and directories or entries
+       thereof are listed multiple times in variables to be
+       distributed, then the corresponding directories below $(distdir)
+       need to be made writable recursively.  Since file modes should
+       not change, they need to be copied recursively using `cp -f'.
+       * lib/am/distdir.am: Handle this situation.
+       * tests/distdir.test: Extend test to those cases.
+       * NEWS: Update.
+       Report by Peter Breitenlohner.
+
+2009-03-22  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+       Fix a documentation typo.

+       better not to use noinst_HEADERS.
+
+2009-03-22  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       Define AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS, for gnulib's GNUmakefile.
+       This new macro lists all public targets which invoke `make'
+       recursively, or depend on targets which do so.  It allows to
+       prevent parallelism selectively, when multiple targets are
+       passed on the `make' command line.
+       * lib/am/distdir.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): New
+       macro.
+       * lib/am/subdirs.am (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Likewise.

+
+       Fix LAZY_TEST_SUITE handling and $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) recreation.
+       * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Expand `$(TEST_LOGS)' only once
+       in the rule command, for systems with low command line limits.
+       Remove $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) even in LAZY_TEST_SUITE mode.
+       ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Always recreate $(TEST_SUITE_LOG).  Mention
+       lazy mode in the summary output.
+       * tests/parallel-tests.test: Test LAZY_TEST_SUITE semantics.
+
+2009-03-10  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       Fix parallel-tests with empty $(TESTS) for BSD make.
+       * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Ignore
+       empty line stemming from empty $(TEST_LOGS), to avoid counting
+       zero tests as one.
+       (check-TESTS): If `$(TESTS)' is empty, override TEST_LOGS to be
+       empty, rather than `.log', for BSD make.
+       * tests/parallel-tests6.test: New test.
+       * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
+
+       Mark check-html and check-TESTS as recursive for BSD make.

+       and check-html prerequisites.
+
+       Match XFAIL_TESTS correctly with Solaris make.
+       * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS]: VPATH rewriting may have
+       changed test names, so srcdir needs to be taken into account
+       explicitly when checking against the list of tests expected
+       to fail.  Fixes spurious FAILures from XFAIL_TESTS.
+
+       Use append mode to capture parallel test output.
+       * tests/lisp8.test: Use append mode for output from `make -j',
+       to avoid dropped lines.
+       * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
+
+       parallel-tests: Fix summary output.
+       * lib/am/check.am (am__text_box): Fix unportable sed script,
+       replacing `\n' in the right hand side of an `s' command with
+       a literal newline.  Kudos to Bruno Haible for the newline idea.
+       * tests/parallel-tests.test: Update test to expose this.
+
+2009-03-08  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       Overhaul of tests/README.
+       * tests/README: General overhaul.  Mention parallel test suite
+       execution, the test-suite.log file; document `Exit' vs. `exit',
+       `defs' vs. `defs-p', the naming of `parallel-tests' tests.
+       * README: Simplify, point to tests/README.
+
+       Documentation for the parallel-tests driver.
+       * doc/automake.texi (Tests, Options): Document the `parallel-tests'

+       * NEWS: Update.
+
+       New tests for `parallel-tests'.
+       * tests/parallel-tests.test: New file, to expose a bunch of
+       features of `parallel-tests': VERBOSE, clean, TEST_SUITE_LOG,
+       test dependencies, DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS.
+       * tests/parallel-tests2.test: New file, test check-html.
+       * tests/parallel-tests3.test: New file, test concurrency.
+       * tests/parallel-tests4.test: New file, test suffix rules.
+       * tests/parallel-tests5.test: New file, demonstrate compile/test
+       concurrency.
+       * tests/defs.in: Add a `required' check for rst2html.
+       * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
+
+       parallel-tests: Ensure backward-compatible semantics.
+       For each test in Automake's test suite that uses TESTS, generate
+       an identical one that uses the `parallel-tests' option, for
+       coverage of backward-compatible functionality.
+       * tests/gen-parallel-tests: New file, generates distributed
+       Makefile.am snippet tests/parallel-tests.am to list all tests
+       that use the TESTS interface but not yet the `parallel-tests'
+       option, with names mangled to use suffix `-p.test', in ...
+       (parallel_tests): ... this new make macro.
+       * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/parallel-tests.am)
+       ($(parallel_tests), defs-p): New rules.
+       (TESTS): Add check11.test and $(parallel_tests).
+       (check_SCRIPTS): Add defs-p, $(parallel_tests).
+       (check-clean-local): Remove `defs-p'.
+       (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute gen-parallel-tests.
+       (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): New variable, remove $(parallel_tests).
+       * bootstrap: Generate parallel-tests.am.
+       * tests/check8.test: Check for circular dependencies in rules.
+       * tests/check11.test: New test, check that SKIPs are not counted
+       as passed tests.
+       * tests/defs.in: Unset DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS, LAZY_TEST_SUITE,
+       VERBOSE, so the tests are not influenced by the way our test
+       suite is invoked.

+       not desirable in this test.
+       * tests/specflg10.test: Use BUILT_SOURCES to specify an

+
+       testsuite: SKIP compile tests if configure found no compiler.
+       * tests/depend6.test: configure will exit 77 if AC_PROG_CC found

+2008-12-21  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution.
+       Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page
+       containing an error message, and exit 1.  This does not play
+       well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page
+       as being up to date, and will only error out on the next
+       generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done.
+       This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case,

+
+       No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
+       There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they

+
+       Fix DisjConditions module to be thread-safe for perl >= 5.7.2.
+       Self-hashes of blessed references are not correctly transported
+       through thread creation.  This patch fixes that by recreating
+       the hashes upon thread creation with a CLONE special subroutine,
+       which is automatically invoked by new enough Perl versions.

+       * tests/ltorder.test: Add program, to expose this.
+
+       Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
+       This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
+       LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
+       It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
+       implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
+       listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
+       As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
+       nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
+       passed to libtool in one invocation.
+       * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES) [!%?BASE%]: Do not

+
+2008-09-07  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

+       create needed directories, libtool, while only forking a

+2008-09-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
+       For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
+       we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
+       will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
+       Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
+       of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files.  There,
+       lower the limit to 40, too.

+       * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
+       use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
+       Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
+       `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.

+
+2008-09-04  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       Avoid Heisenbug with verbose testing on HP-UX.
+       * tests/output-order.test: Remove spurious redirection line
+       from output for comparison.
+
+       For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
+       Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
+       extraneous output.  This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a
+       relative subdir, to prevent CDPATH from entering an unwanted
+       directory.
+       * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fix current check for
+       $(am__cd) within backquotes a bit.  Add new check for `cd' to a
+       relative subdir.
+       * automake.in (handle_tags, handle_configure):  Adjust rules.
+       * lib/am/ansi2knr.am: Likewise.
+       * lib/am/configure.am: Likewise.
+       * lib/am/distdir.am: Likewise.
+       * lib/am/remake-hdr.am: Likewise.
+       * lib/am/subdirs.am: Likewise.
+       * lib/am/tags.am: Likewise.
+       * lib/am/texibuild.am: Likewise.
+
+       Fix nobase-python.test for BSD make.
+       * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
+       via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
+       will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make.  So move the
+       creation of the files outside of the Makefile.
+
+2008-09-01  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       Implement AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([DEFAULT-MODE]).
+       * m4/maintainer.m4 (AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Allow for an optional

+       * doc/automake.texi (Optional, maintainer-mode): Document.
+       * tests/mmode.test: New test.
+       * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.

+
+2008-08-22  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       Fix rebuilding of removed subdir/Makefile.in files.
+       * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%) [?!TOPDIR_P?]: If
+       subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
+       it.  Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.
+       * tests/remake6.test, tests/remake7.test: New tests.
+       * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
+       * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
+       Report and initial patch by Ilya N. Golubev.

+       Fix grammaros.
+
+2008-08-02  Karl Berry  <karl@freefriends.org>
+
+       * lib/gnupload: Provide also a simple example.
+
+2008-06-25  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@gnuvola.org>
+
+       Small doc fix.
+       * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Close open paren.
+
+2008-06-18  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       Introduce macro $(am__mv) to facilitate 'libtool --dry-run'.
+       * lib/am/depend.am (am__mv): New macro, set to 'mv -f'.
+       * lib/am/depend2.am: Use throughout to move the temporary
+       depfile *.Tpo to its final destination *.Po.
+
+2008-06-18  Rafael Espindola  <espindola@google.com>
+
+       * lib/config-ml.in: don't handle --enable-shared and --enable-static.

+
+       * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): New variable.

+       conditional config.status rule.
+       * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.
+
+       For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.
+       * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
+       inputs where input and output name are equal.  This relies on
+       the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
+       (handle_configure) <CONFIG_CLEAN_VPATH_FILES>: New variable, for
+       links where source and dest are equal.
+       * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Remove, if build tree not
+       equal source tree.

+       and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
+       conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
+       handled.
+       * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
+       AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
+       definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
+       Report from Bas Wijnen.
+       * tests/amopt.test: New test.
+       * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
+
+       * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
+       new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null.  So
+       create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
+       file, and erase it afterward.  Fall back to using /dev/null only
+       if we cannot create this file.
+       Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
+       (unlink_tmp): New function.
+       * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
+
+2006-08-04  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
+       do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
+       to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
+       Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
+       depdir computation.
+       * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
+       Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
+       main program.
+       * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
+
+2006-07-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+       * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
+       can install only one file at a time.
+       (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
+       (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
+       (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
+       cause weird behavior with the other changes below.  All later uses
+       of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
+       Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
+       octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
+       likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
+       octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
+       'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
+       <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
+       (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
+       temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
+       (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
+       intermediate directories; this is safer.
+       (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
+       /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
+       HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
+       Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
+       traditional implementations.
+

+
+2006-06-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+       * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
+       7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
+       with `-MDupdate'.  Refine test to catch this.
+
+       * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
+       procedure.
+
+       * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
+       requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces

+       as per GNU coding standards.  Close a race condition reported by Ralf
+       Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal.  There is still a race condition
+       on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
+       Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.

+       `configure'.
+       * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise.  Do not override by setting
+       $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.

+
+       * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has

+       `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
+
+       * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);

+       * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
+
+       * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused

+       loop.
+
+       * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
+       (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
+       comment.  Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
