+
+ info: allow user to inhibit creation/update of '${infodir}/dir'
+ With this change, we allow the user to request the install-info
+ rules not to update the `${infodir}/dir' file, by exporting the
+ environment variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR' to the value "no".
+ This is especially useful to distro packagers, and is a definite
+ improvement over our previous hack of looking whether the
+ `install-info' program was the Debian or GNU version -- hack
+ which had been silently broken with recent versions of debian
+ install-info BTW (probably since dpkg 1.15.4, 2009-09-06).
+ This change fixes automake bug#9773. See also Debian Bug#543992.
+ * lib/am/texinfos.am: Don't look anymore at the output of
+ `install-info --version' to decide whether to use it to update
+ the `${infodir}/dir' or not; instead, honour the environment
+ variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR'.
+ * tests/install-info-dir.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
+ * tests/defs: Also unset `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR', to avoid unwanted
+ interferences from the environment.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Update.
+ * NEWS: Likewise.
+ * THANKS: Likewise.
+ Report by Jonathan Nieder.

+ test defs: new function 'am_keeping_testdirs', for better APIs
+
+ This change is meant to make it easier for TAP-based test scripts
+ to remove files left over by completed (sub)tests, while still
+ honoring the user-provided `$keep_testdirs' setting.
+
+ * tests/defs (am_keeping_testdirs): New function, telling whether
+ we should keep the test directories around, even in case of
+ success (by default, we don't).
+ (exit trap): Use it.
+ * tests/depmod.tap: Likewise.
+ * tests/instspc.tap: Likewise. Also, fix some pre-existing
+ "copy & paste" bugs, and a typo in comments.
+

tests: remove redundant `set -e', and other minor improvements
* tests/dejagnu-absolute-builddir.test: Do not set the `errexit'
shell flag, as it is already set by `tests/defs'.
