+ tests: fix spurious failure with autoconf 2.62
+ * tests/aclocal-path-precedence.test: Rewrite configure.in,
+ rather than appending to it, to avoid spurious failures (at
+ least with autoconf 2.62) due to repeated calls to AC_INIT.
+ Also, add package name and version arguments to AC_INIT, to
+ avoid spurious errors from automake.

+ docs: avoid using colon character inside arguments of @pxref
+ Fixes automake bug#9753
+ * doc/automake.texi (VPATH Builds): Avoid using colon character
+ `:' inside arguments of @pxref, as this can cause problems in
+ the generated `.info' files, and such an usage will be explicitly
+ forbidden by future texinfo documentation.
+ * THANKS: Update.

+
+ parallel-tests: warn on conditional TEST_EXTENSIONS definition
+ Before this change, automake would have still bailed out, but
+ with a confusing error message (about an invalid redefinition
+ of TEST_EXTENSIONS).
+ * automake.in (handle_tests): Warn explicitly if TEST_EXTENSIONS
+ has conditional contents.
+ * tests/test-extensions-con.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
+ * NEWS: Update.

+
+ parallel-tests: don't allow @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS
+ Even after the last commit `v1.11-476-g90bea64', the checks
+ performed by automake on entries in $(TEST_EXTENSIONS) tried to
+ allow for @substitited@ stuff. This however ends up allowing
+ quite brittle setups, which, most importantly, are of no real
+ practical usefulness anyway. So it's better to just disallow
+ @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS altogether, offering a clear
+ error message, instead of risking weird bugs and unexpected
+ behaviors in the generated Makefile.in.
+ * automake.in ($TEST_EXTENSION_PATTERN): Turned from a regular
+ expression ...
+ (is_valid_test_extension): ... into this subroutine. Don't allow
+ generic @substitutions@ anymore (possibly making an exception for
+ `@EXEEXT@' under the proper circumstances).
+ * tests/test-extensions.test: Adjust and extend.

+
+ tests: fix spurious failure in 'insthook.test'
+ * tests/insthook.test (Makefile.am): Add a proper `uninstall-hook'
+ target to remove the symlink created by the `install-exec-hook'
+ target; this prevents "make distcheck" from failing spuriously.
+ Since we are at it, delete an extra blank line, and add a trailing
+ `:' command.

+
+ maintcheck: fix spurious failure
+ * lib/am/distdir.am: Use `$(infodir)', not `${infodir}', to avoid
+ complaints from the `sc_no_brace_variable_expansions' maintainer
+ check.

+
+ parallel-tests: automake error our on invalid TEST_EXTENSIONS
+ This change fixes automake bug#9400.
+ * automake.in (handle_tests): Bail out if a suffix specified in
+ TEST_EXTENSIONS would produce an invalid `xxx_LOG_COMPILER'
+ variable or an invalid suffix rule. Before this change, automake
+ would have issued a confusing error messages (about invalid or
+ non-POSIX variables being defined), and in some situations would
+ have even produced a broken `Makefile.in' file.
+ ($TEST_EXTENSION_PATTERN): New helper variable.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Document
+ the limitations on TEST_EXTENSIONS explicitly.
+ * NEWS: Update.
+ * tests/test-extensions.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

+ docs: don't suggest installing `.m4' files in hard-coded location

+ * doc/automake.texi (aclocal Options): State that the use of

+ third-party packages can install their `.m4' files is discouraged
+ now.
+ (Extending aclocal): Suggest telling the user about ACLOCAL_PATH.
+ * THANKS: Update.

+ distuninstallcheck: fail also when only one file is left installed
+ This change fixes automake bug#9579.
+ * lib/am/distdir.am (distuninstallcheck): Be stricter in ignoring
+ a potential `dir' file created by install-info and left installed.
+ Also, be more careful about "this can't happen" kind of errors.
+ (am__distuninstallcheck_listfiles): New internal helper macro.
