+
+ tests: optimize `instspc-*.test' for speed
+ After the split of `instspc.test' into various generated tests,
+ the running time of the testsuite has noticeably increased, since
+ all these new generated tests must run aclocal, autoconf and
+ automake, whereas previously they were run only once (at the
+ beginning of `instspc.test'). But luckily, since the new tests
+ share the same input files for the autotools, this situation can
+ be easily worked around (at the expenses of a slight increase of
+ complexity for the testsuite scaffolding).
+ * tests/instspc-data.test: New helper test, properly calling
+ the `instspc-tests.sh' script to generate input data for the
+ others `instspc-*.test' tests.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add `instspc-data.test'.
+ ($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): Depend on its log file.

+ created files instead of recreating them from scratch.

+ yacc: "make clean" removes .c and .h files from non-distributed .y
+ Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
+ files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources, it still caused
+ them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
+ simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
+ This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
+ those generated .c and .h files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES
+ by hand.
+ This change fixes this issue, by making non-distributed `.c' and
+ `.h' files generated by non-distributed Yacc sources cleaned by
+ "make clean".

+ Fix parallel testsuite run with Zsh.

+ Automake testsuite was run in parallel mode with Zsh as
+ the $(TEST_LOG_COMPILER).
+ For more information, please refer to the thread "Fix parallel

+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-12/msg00135.html>
+ This change works around the problems described above for Zsh 4.3
+ or later, and offers better error messages (instead of random
+ failures) for earlier Zsh version.
+ * tests/README (Supported shells): When describing the manual
+ workaround about the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0',
+ tell that it is now needed only with Zsh versions preceding 4.3.
+ Done also some minor rewordings.
+ * tests/defs-static.in ($argv0): New variable, offers a workaround

+ * tests/defs.in: Printing the message "=== Running test $0" at

Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
New tests.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+2010-11-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Fix potential bug in generated tests `instpc-*.test'.
+ This bug is due to the changes introduced by the recently-merged
+ "tests-init" branch. In that branch, `tests/defs' didn't define
+ anymore `$srcdir', instead defining directly `$testsrcdir'; but
+ the generated tests were using `$srcdir', hence the bug.
+ Luckily, since the Automake parallel test driver automatically
+ exports `srcdir' to a proper value, that prevented the bug from
+ manifesting itself.
+ * tests/Makefile.am ($(instspc_tests)): In the generated test
+ scripts, use `$testsrcdir', not `$srcdir'.
+
+2010-11-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Overhauled and modularized tests in `instspc.test'.
+ The test `instspc.test' was way too big and fragile. Its running
+ time was very long. It also produced a log that was nearly
+ unreadable due to its length, making it very difficult to find
+ out the reason for failures.
+ Also, it was too much monolithic, with a single (maybe spurious)
+ failure in a corner case causing the whole test to fail (even if
+ everything worked as expected in the other 99% of cases).
+ The present change should solve these problems, by separating
+ `instspc.test' into many smaller, self-contained, auto-generated
+ tests.
+ * tests/instspc.test: Removed.
+ * tests/instspc-tests.sh: New script, fulfilling a double role:
+ 1. it generates a Makefile.am snippet `tests/instspc-tests.am',
+ containing the definition of a list of new tests which will take
+ over the older `instspc.test', and
+ 2. it is sourced by said generated tests with proper parameters
+ pre-set, to run the "meat" of the checks.
+ This apparent abuse is indeed required because the test generation
+ code and test execution code are inevitably intertwined.
+ * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/instspc-tests.am): Include this
+ snippet, which (among the other things) defines ...
+ (instspc_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list of the
+ newly generated `instspc*.test' tests, and ...
+ (instspc_xfail_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list
+ of the `instspc*.test' tests expected to fail.
+ ($(instspc_tests)): New rule, generates the `instspc*.test' tests.
+ ($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): New rule, registers the dependency
+ of all `instspc*.test' tests on the `instspc-tests.sh' script.
+ (TESTS): Add `$(instspc_tests)', remove `instspc.test'.
+ (XFAIL_TESTS): Add `$(xfail_instspc_tests)'.
+ (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute instspc-tests.sh.
+ (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Added $(instspc_tests).
+ Other minor cosmetic changes.
+ * bootstrap: Generate instspc-tests.am.

Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
* NEWS, THANKS: Update.

+
+ Avoid possible false negatives in cond46.test.
+ * tests/cond46.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag (and bumped
+ copyright years). Due to this change, the testcase should now
+ fail on unexpected failures in calls to $ACLOCAL/$AUTOMAKE (whose
+ outcomes were previously unchecked), and on failures in grepping
+ the expected diagnostic in Automake stderr.

+
+ Generated tests are now just a thin layer around other tests.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Rewrite the rule to generate the `*-p.test'
+ test scripts so that any of them simply includes the corresponding
+ `*.test' script (after setting `$parallel_tests' to `yes').
+ * tests/.gitignore: Add wildcard for temporary files used in the
+ generation of `*-p.test' tests.

Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
* tests/parallel-tests6.test: Likewise.
* tests/parallel-tests7.test: Likewise.

+ Fix cscope test on systems without working Fortran compiler.
+ * tests/cscope.test: Skip remainder of test if `$MAKE all' fails.

+ Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Add lzip compression support.
+ * automake.in (handle_dist): Recognize dist-lzip.
+ (make_paragraphs): Map LZIP to dist-lzip.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Dist): Add dist-lzip.
+ (Options): Likewise.
+ * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Add dist-lzip.
+ * lib/am/distdir.am
+ (dist dist-all): Add command to create an lzip-compressed tarball.
+ (distcheck): Handle lzip-compressed tarballs just like the others.
+ * tests/defs.in: Test for lzip, too.
+ * tests/lzip.test: New file, based on nogzip.test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add lzip.test.
+ * NEWS: Update.

Improve help message of mdate-sh.
Fix some typos in the manual
* doc/automake.texi (Nested Packages, Rebuilding): Fix typos.

+
+ Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
+ * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
+ expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
+ to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
+ %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
+ * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
+ `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
+ (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
+ set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
+ * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
+ verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
+ dependencies are enabled.
+ * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
+ also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
+ * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
+ dependency tracking.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
+ * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
+ Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
