-
- More stable configure output from sanity check.
- * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Always print check line
- about ensuring newer files, even if we don't actually need
- to wait any more.
-
-2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
- tests: avoid running into timing issues due to sanity change.
- * tests/acloca10.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal9.test:
- Insert strategic sleep before aclocal reruns, to ensure files
- are newer.
- * tests/python11.test: Use --force for repeated autotools runs.
- Reports from the NixOS Hydra build daemon via Ludovic Courtès.
-
- Fix timestamp issues by ensuring configure takes at least a second.
- * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): If we didn't sleep here,
- start a sleep in the background and wait for it to finish
- before creating config.status, hopefully fixing all spurious
- testsuite failures involving botched time stamps.
- * NEWS: Update.
- Reports by Ludovic Courtès, Peter Breitenlohner, and others.
-
-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.

-
- 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.

-
- 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,

-
- 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.

- * 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 1.11.
- * configure.ac: Bump version to 1.11.

-
- Fix maintainer-check failures.
- * 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.
-
- Rewrite NEWS for 1.11.
- * NEWS: Rewrite, merging 1.10b and 1.10c entries.
-
- Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
- * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from

- * 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.

- Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
- 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).
- * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

-
- 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.
- * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules.

-
- 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.
- * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): Document per-target flag
- limitations.

- distdir: avoid duplicate `find' traversal with subpackages.
- * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir) [%?SUBDIRS%]: When recursing, set

- [%?TOPDIR_P%]: When `$(am__skip_mode_fix)' is set, avoid tree

- * tests/subpkg4.test: New test, to ensure that we still walk the
- whole tree while fixing permissions. We don't ensure it is
- walked once only.
- * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
-
- Disable test cleanup trap with OSF1/Tru64 sh.
- * configure.ac: Test whether /bin/sh has working 'set -e'

- * tests/libtool3.test: Do not use `$(top_builddir)/sub/libname.la'
- in *_LDADD entry if `$(top_builddir)' is `.'. Fixes test failure
- with parallel NetBSD make.
-
- Detect make `include' style also with parallel non-GNU make.
- Parallel NetBSD make outputs `--- $target ---' messages,
- parallel HP-UX make outputs `Making target"$target"'. Just
- ignore all additional output for the include test.
- * m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Ignore additional output
- produced by `make' to relax `include' style detection.
-
- manual: add FAQ `Debugging Make Rules'.
- * doc/automake.texi (Debugging Make Rules): New FAQ section.
- (Top, FAQ): Adjust menus, and capitalization of the description
- of the `Hard-Coded Install Paths' node.
- (Multiple Outputs): Add comment to restore font-lock for vim.
- Suggestion by Karl Berry.
-
- Let XFile::lock warn and fail with parallel non-GNU make, too.
- * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Also match `-j' for parallel BSD
- make, and `-P' for parallel HP-UX make.
-
- Fix AM_PROG_VALAC version requirement detection.
- * m4/vala.m4 (AM_PROG_VALAC): Remove `Vala ' from valac
- --version string before comparing versions.
- * tests/vala2.test: Require version 0.7.0 for the test.
- Fixes failures of vala2.test and vala3.test with older valac.
-
- Correctly treat all assignments with bogus trailing comments.
- Before this patch, automake would silently fail to diagnose and
- to copy into the output those variable assignments which are
- preceded by a comment, and end in backslash newline comment.
- * automake.in (read_am_file): When determining whether an
- escaped newline followed by a comment is an error, correctly use
- the parser state, not the contents of a saved comment, which
- could still be carried over from a comment before an assignment.

- 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

- 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'.

- for less verbose output.
- (Invoking Automake): Remove documentation for `--silent-rules'.

- * NEWS: Update.
- * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
- `silent-rules' only as option in configure.ac.

- * tests/dollarvar.test: Remove tests for `--silent-rules', use
- `AM_SILENT_RULES'.

- 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.

- (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.

-
- 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

- * tests/parallel-tests.test: Adjust, replacing LAZY_TEST_SUITE
- with corresponding RECHECK_LOGS settings.

- * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
- Suggestion and different implementation by Akim Demaille.
-

- Turn also the lib/Automake/tests testsuite over to the new
- test driver.

- 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.

-
- 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
- if this makefile deals with man pages.

-
- Implement serialization for Locations.
- * lib/Automake/Location.pm (serialize, deserialize): New
- functions. They allows to serialize a Location in an array, and
- to restore a Location from a thread queue. The API is
- unsymmetric (array vs. queue) because enqueuing data needs to
- happen atomically.
-
- Parallel automake: ordered output messages.
- * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (%_default_options): New options
- `ordered' default enabled, `queue', default zero (no queue),
- `queue_key' default undefined.

- serialization key.

- input file; workers queue messages, and the master outputs them
- ordered, using the new Channels.pm functions.
- * tests/parallel-am.test: Also check for ordered output (in the
- absence of --add-missing races).
- * tests/parallel-am2.test: New test; check for ordered output of
- warning and (regular) error messages.
- * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
-
- Parallel automake execution: AUTOMAKE_JOBS.
- * lib/Automake/Config.in (perl_threads): New global.

- thread queue to distribute handling the different makefiles.
- Collect $exit_code values from threads.

-
- Minor file checking optimization: set_dir_cache_file.
- * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm (set_dir_cache_file): New function.
- * automake.in (require_file_internal): Instead of resetting the
- 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
- enable to show progress, even using duplicate statements.
- * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (fatal, automake, verb): Set
- `uniq_part' to `UP_NONE' when registering these channels.

- 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.
- * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (CLONE): New special
- subroutine to fix self hashes upon thread creation.
- * lib/Automake/tests/Condition-t.pl: New, sister test to
- Condition.pl, but spawns a new threads after each creation of a

-
- Install nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES before bin_PROGRAMS.

- used, add an ugly hack to install them before bin_PROGRAMS, just
- 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.

- create needed directories, libtool, while only forking a
- constant number of times in the fast path; uses awk and sed also
- in the default path.
- (%DIR%PROGRAMS_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
- more.
-
- Enhance cleaning of programs in libtool mode.
- * lib/am/progs.am (clean-%DIR%PROGRAMS) [?LIBTOOL?]: Fork less

-
- 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.
- * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%) [%?BASE%]: Use it.
- * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
- (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Likewise.
-
-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.

-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
- first argument of `enable' or `disable', setting the default.
- * doc/automake.texi (Optional, maintainer-mode): Document.
- * tests/mmode.test: New test.
- * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
- * NEWS: Update.
- Suggestion by Vincent Lefevre.
-
-2008-08-31 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
- Copyright year updates.
- * lib/am/header-vars.am: Update copyright years.

- * lib/am/tags.am: Likewise.
-
-2008-08-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
- * THANKS: Use Cyrillic name instead of ASCII transcription.
-
-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.
-
-2008-08-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
- * tests/notrans.test: Use multiple man files of each type.
-
- Fix maintainer-check failures.
- * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Drop TAB.
- * tests/missing6.test: Use 'rm -f'.
-
-2008-08-19 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org> (tiny patch)
-
- * doc/automake.texi (Flag Variables Ordering, Per-Object Flags):
- 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.
-
-2008-06-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
- * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): New variable.
- (am__nobase_list): Use it.
-
- Fix conditional rules competing with config.status rules.
- * automake.in (handle_configure): Teach targets about the
- 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

+ 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".

- (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.

+
+ Tests defs: do not print message "Running test $0" anymore.
+ * tests/defs.in: Printing the message "=== Running test $0" at
+ the beginning of each tests made sense when Automake used the old
+ test-driver, which sent all the output directly to stdout/stderr.
+ Now that the parallel test-driver is used, which saves output of
+ each test in its corresponding log file, that old message is just
+ useless noise.
+
+ Tests defs: rename $curdir -> $testbuilddir
+ * tests/defs.in: Rename $curdir to $testbuildir, for clarity and
+ consistency with $testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir.
+
+ Tests defs: prefer "$curdir" over "`pwd`".
+ * tests/defs.in: We already save the value of `pwd` in $curdir
+ early in the file, so there no need to recalculate it later, when
+ the current working directory is not changed.
+
+ Tests defs: use `$me' in more error messages.
+ * tests/defs.in: Also use `$me' in error messages referring to
+ missing `defs' or `defs.in', since that variable is now defined
+ before those checks.
+
+ Tests defs: do not use `Exit' where plain `exit' suffices.
+ * tests/defs.in: Use "exit 77" rather than "Exit 77" to skip the
+ test when required libtool/gettext macros are not found, since
+ such skips would take place before the exit trap is installed.
+
+ Tests defs: improve and extends comments.
+ * tests/defs.in: Improve and extends some comments, especially in
+ relation with the changes introduced by the previous reordering.
+
+ Tests defs: various reorderings.

+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.

+ support the -o option.
+
+2010-10-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ dist-xz, dist-bzip2: don't hard-code -9: honor envvar settings
+ * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz): Do not hard-code xz's -9: that
+ made it impossible to override. Instead, use its XZ_OPT envvar,
+ defaulting to -9 if not defined. Thus no change in behavior
+ when XZ_OPT is not set, and now, this rule honors the setting
+ of that envvar when it is set. Suggested by Lasse Collin.
+ (dist-bzip2): Likewise for it's corresponding envvar: BZIP2.

- * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
- problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
- Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
- if the usual candidates show up.
+ Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').

+ Also, bumped the copyright years.
-2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
