Stefano Lattarini [Sat, 19 Jun 2010 12:55:10 +0000 (14:55 +0200)]
Modernize and improve test scripts `subdir*.test'.

* tests/subdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
changes.  Use the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs',
rather than writing one from scratch.
* tests/subdir2.test: Likewise.
* tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
* tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
changes.  Do not create useless dummy source files.
* tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
and in subdirs) stricter.  Some minor changes to keep it more
in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
* tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
`subdir5.test' here).
* tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.
* tests/subdir9.test: Define and use new variable `$distdir'.  Add
trailing `:' command.
* tests/subdir10.test: Cosmetic consistency-related change.
* tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
(configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
it from scratch.  Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
autoconf/automake macros.

Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.

* tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
a $MAKE call.  Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
* tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
instead.  Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
Display the content of more files, to ease debugging.  Add a
trailing `:' command.  Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister
test(s).
* tests/distcom6.test: Likewise, and avoid to uselessly run
autoconf.
* tests/distcom3.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured stdout
and stderr.  Make grepping of captured stderr stricter.  Also,
add trailing `:' command.
* tests/distcom4.test: Declare the target `test' in the generated
Makefile.am as `.PHONY'.  Display content of more files, to ease
debugging.  Add trailing `:' command.
* tests/distcom5.test: Likewise.  Also, factor out common sed
script in subroutine `extract_distcommon'.
* tests/distcom7.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to write
test Makefile.am files.  Add a trailing `:' command.
* tests/distname.test: Prefer `gzip -d' over `gunzip'.  Move the
call to `set -e' earlier.  Be stricter and more verbose in the
checking of the generated tarball.
(configure.in): Use the stub provided by ./defs, instead of
writing it from scratch.  Avoid obsoleted constructs.  Remove
useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.
* tests/distdir.test: Various minor improvements/normalizations.
* tests/distlinks.test: Likewise.

the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for

and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
priority or on havily-loaded systems).
Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
standard error.
Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
writing one from scratch.
