+ yacc: extension of headers modelled after extension of sources
+ With this change, if '-d' is in *YFLAGS, a yacc input file named
+ foo.y++ will cause a foo.h++ header to be generated, instead of a
+ foo.h header. Similarly for foo.ypp, foo.yxx and foo.yy.
+ This way, the name of the files generated by an automake-created

+ yacc: "make clean" removes .c and .h files from non-distributed .y

+ version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
+ suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
+ * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
+ with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
+ * libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to macro
+ AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does
+ not fail for the wrong reasons.
+ * ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool support
+ works with LT_INIT-based interface.
+ Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.

+
+ tests: tempdirs with restrictive permissions are cleaned correctly
+ Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory
+ containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as
+ 'r--r--r--') could fail.
+ * tests/defs: Ensure that all the subdirectories of a temporary
+ test directory have the 'read', 'write' and 'execute' bits set,
+ before trying to remove it with `rm -rf'.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Likewise.

+
+ tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
+ * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test

+
+ 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.

+ * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.

+
+ parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
+ * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):

+
+ docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input

+
+ Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
+ * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
+ `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
+ redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
+ uselessly run it in a subshell.
+ * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
+ make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
+ * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
+ configure.in.
+ * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
+ minor improvements.
+ * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
+ changes. Add trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
+ Makefile.in stricter.
+ * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
+ changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
+ to Makefile.am.
+ * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
+ to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
+ to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
+ * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
+ for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
+ * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
+ it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
+ * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
+ for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
+ cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
+ * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
+ and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
+ that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
+ preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
+ "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
+ so they have been moved ...
+ * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
+ * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
+ trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
+ Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
+ append to configure.in.
+ * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
+ make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
+ after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
+ minor cosmetic improvements.
+ * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
+ trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
+ * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.
