+ 2009-04-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ parallel-tests: LOG_COMPILER for tests without known extension.
+ * automake.in (handle_tests): If we don't match a known
+ extension, define `LOG_COMPILER' as `$(LOG_COMPILE)
+ $(AM_LOG_FLAGS) $(LOG_FLAGS)' and use it as %COMPILE% in check2.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):

+ Akim Demaille <akim@lrde.epita.fr>
+
+ 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 $(TEST_LOGS). Drop use
+ of LAZY_TEST_SUITE.
+ ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Do not output note about lazy rerun, as
+ LAZY_TEST_SUITE is gone.
+ (recheck): New target.
+ (recheck-am, recheck-TESTS): New internal targets.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Update @vindex for TESTS and
+ TEST_LOGS. Replace description of LAZY_TEST_SUITE with a list
+ of ways the set of tests to be run can be modified. Document
+ RECHECK_LOGS and the recheck target.
+ * tests/defs.in: Unset RECHECK_LOGS not LAZY_TEST_SUITE.
+ * tests/parallel-tests.test: Adjust, replacing LAZY_TEST_SUITE
+ with corresponding RECHECK_LOGS settings.
+ * tests/parallel-tests9.test: New tests.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
+ Suggestion and different implementation by Akim Demaille.
+
+ parallel-tests: do not mark check-TESTS as `.MAKE'.
+ * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Remove check-TESTS.
+ This rule removes files, which should not be executed with BSD
+ `make -n'.
+
+ parallel-tests: warn about $(srcdir), $(top_srcdir) in TESTS.
+ * automake.in (handle_tests): Warn about portability issue
+ concerning generated TESTS files listed with a `$(srcdir)/'
+ or `$(top_srcdir)/' prefix.
+ * doc/automake.texi (TESTS): Document this issue. Mention that
+ the parallel-tests driver is still experimental.
+ * tests/parallel-tests8.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
+
+ check-html: Always create HTML output, note conversion failure.
+ * lib/am/check.am (check-html): Create `$(TEST_SUITE_HTML)' in
+ any case. Exit unsuccessfully if HTML creation failed.
+ * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Amend test to expose this.
+
+ 2009-03-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ parallel-tests: per-extension test driver: <EXT>_LOG_COMPILER.
+ For test files with extension <ext>, introduce the internal
+ variable <EXT>_LOG_COMPILE, which expands to
+ $(<EXT>_LOG_COMPILER) $(AM_<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS) $(<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS).
+ Turn also the lib/Automake/tests testsuite over to the new
+ test driver.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Document `EXT_LOG_COMPILER' and
+ `EXT_LOG_FLAGS'.
+ * lib/am/check2.am: Insert `%COMPILE%' right before test.
+ * automake.in (handle_tests): Substitute `COMPILE' for check2,
+ empty for tests without extension, and `$(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.
+ * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Split ...
+ (PL_LOG_COMPILER, PL_LOG_FLAGS): ... into these new variables.
+ (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): New variable, initialize to `.pl'.
+ * tests/parallel-tests7.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
+ Suggestion by Akim Demaille.
+
+ 2009-03-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ parallel-tests: also record logs of SKIPped tests.

+ SKIPs as well.
+ Suggested by Jim Meyering.
+
+ Minor optimization in parallel-tests text box creation.
+ * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL-TESTS] (am__text_box): Use only one
+ awk invocation, rather than several tools, to create a text box.
+ Suggestion from Akim Demaille.
+
+ 2009-03-29 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

+
+ Sane (un)install for empty directory variables.
+ This patch fixes all install and uninstall rules to behave

+ For PR automake/533:
+ DISTFILES containing a directory and files in that directory.
+ When the source tree contains non-writable files or directories
+ (as happens during distcheck), and directories or entries
+ thereof are listed multiple times in variables to be
+ distributed, then the corresponding directories below $(distdir)
+ need to be made writable recursively. Since file modes should

+
+ 2009-03-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Define AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS, for gnulib's GNUmakefile.
+ This new macro lists all public targets which invoke `make'
+ recursively, or depend on targets which do so. It allows to
+ prevent parallelism selectively, when multiple targets are
+ passed on the `make' command line.
+ * lib/am/distdir.am [%?SUBDIRS%] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): New

+ * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Expand `$(TEST_LOGS)' only once
+ in the rule command, for systems with low command line limits.
+ Remove $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) even in LAZY_TEST_SUITE mode.
+ ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Always recreate $(TEST_SUITE_LOG). Mention

+
+ Fix parallel-tests with empty $(TESTS) for BSD make.
+ * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Ignore

+ * tests/gen-parallel-tests: New file, generates distributed
+ Makefile.am snippet tests/parallel-tests.am to list all tests

+ * tests/check11.test: New test, check that SKIPs are not counted
+ as passed tests.
+ * tests/defs.in: Unset DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS, LAZY_TEST_SUITE,
+ VERBOSE, so the tests are not influenced by the way our test

+ Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution.
+ Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing 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.

+ * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Do not fail due to
+ install-info if the installed file does not exist (any more).
+ * tests/txinfo26.test: Issue multiple `make uninstall'.
+ * tests/instmany-mans.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/instmany-python.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/instmany.test: Likewise.

+ New public macro AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE.
+ * m4/substnot.m4 (AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE): New public macro; invoke
+ _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE with arguments.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Optional): Document it.
+ * NEWS: Update.

+ Suggestion by Bruno Haible.
+
+ Fix regression introduced by AM_DEFAULT_SOURCE_EXT.
+ * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Use the right variable
+ when determining whether to apply the old rule for the libtool
+ library default source name.
+ Testsuite failure exposed by Bob Proulx' build daemon.
+
+ 2008-11-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ New maintainer target release-stats.
+ * Makefile.am (release-stats): New target, to help computing the
+ entries in the statistics table in automake.texi.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Reformat a bit. Add number of
+ generated files. Add entry for 1.10.1.
+
+ Choose default source extension: AM_DEFAULT_SOURCE_EXT.
+ * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Accept unconditional

+
+ Parallel automake --add-missing: serialized file installs.
+ * automake.in (QUEUE_CONF_FILE, QUEUE_LOCATION, QUEUE_STRING):
+ New serialization keys.
+ ($required_conf_file_queue): New file global.
+ (queue_required_conf_file, require_queued_conf_file): New
+ functions, to queue and dequeue requirements for aux dir files.
+ (require_conf_file): Enqueue if needed.
+ (get_number_of_threads): Can do threads with --add-missing now.
+ (handle_makefiles_threaded): Let worker threads enqueue, let
+ master attend to queued requirements at the right time.
+ * tests/parallel-am.test: Explain the purpose of the include
+ chain used here.
+ * tests/parallel-am2.test: Also cope with --add-missing.
+ * tests/parallel-am3.test: New test, test absence of races with
+ concurrent same-file installs stemming from --add-missing.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
+
+ 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.
+ (_merge_options): Ensure `ordered' channels cannot have fatal
+ messages or backtrace output.
+ (_enqueue, _dequeue): New functions, to push messages onto a
+ Thread::Queue, and output messages from such a queue, suitably
+ weeded for duplicates in the same manner as _print_message.
+ (_print_message): If the channel is ordered and has an
+ associated queue, then enqueue messages instead of printing
+ them.
+ (setup_channel_queue, pop_channel_queue): New functions,
+ to set a Thread::Queue for channels, and to flush a queue.
+ * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Unset channel option `ordered'
+ for fatal, automake, and verb channels.
+ * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE): New global constant, used as
+ serialization key.
+ (handle_makefiles_threaded): Create message queues for each
+ 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.
+ * automake.in: Use it. If the perl supports interpreter-based
+ threading, then use `threads' and `Thread::Queue'.
+ (handle_makefile, handle_makefiles_serial): New functions,
+ factored out from main.
+ (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads
+ to use, based on environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' and number
+ of independent makefiles.
+ (handle_makefiles_threaded): New function. Spawn threads, use
+ thread queue to distribute handling the different makefiles.
+ Collect $exit_code values from threads.
+ (main): Use new functions.
+ * aclocal.in: No threads here.
+ * configure.ac: Substitute PERL_THREADS; enabled with perl >=
+ 5.7.2 and when ithreads are available.
+ * bootstrap (dosubst): Likewise.
+ * Makefile.am (do_subst): Likewise.
+ * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (do_subst): Likewise.
+ * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Use `Automake::Config' and
+ `threads'.
+ (verb): Prepend thread ID (tid) to verbose messages.
+ * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (msg): Before exiting, flush stderr,
+ needed for worker threads.
+ * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Also
+ include the build tree path, so Config.pm is found.
+ * tests/parallel-am.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake): Document AUTOMAKE_JOBS.
+ * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
+ Report about long execution times by Joakim Tjernlund and others.
+
+ 2008-10-26 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ 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 'config.status --file=... depfiles' with new Autoconf.
+ * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Eval
+ $CONFIG_STATUS contents if we detect the quoting used by
+ Autoconf 2.62 and newer for --file=.
+ * tests/depend5.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
+ * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
+ Report by Sam Steingold against gnulib.
+
+ 2008-10-26 Johan Dahlin <jdahlin@async.com.br>
+
+ Support for Python 3.0, drop support for pre-2.0.
+ * lib/py-compile: Do not import string; use sys.stdout.write
+ instead of print, files.split instead of string.split.
+ * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Also look for python3 and
+ phython3.0; do not look for python1.5. Use sys.stdout.write.
+ (AM_PYTHON_CHECK_VERSION): Do not use string; adjust to xrange
+ removal in Python 3.0, and changed semantics of map.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Python, Hard-Coded Install Paths): Update
+ Python versions mentioned in the manual, using 2.5 everywhere.
+ * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
+
+ 2008-10-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (@chain): Drop unused variable.
+
+ Cleanup of per-input global variables in automake.in.
+ * automake.in ($output_vars, $output_all, $output_header)
+ ($output_rules, $output_trailer): Fix comment, and sort
+ declarations in the order they will appear in the output.
+ ($all_target): Unused variable, remove.
+ (Variables not reset by &initialize_per_input.): New section,
+ clarify that %am_file_cache is not reset.
+ (initialize_per_input): Reset $am_file_name, $am_relative_dir,
+ $in_file_name, $relative_dir, and $topsrcdir to `undef' rather
+ than the empty string; $topsrcdir was not reset at all. Sort
+ remaining variables in the same order as in the section
+ `Variables reset by &initialize_per_input'.
+
+ Let stderr output end up on fd 2 in testsuite.
+ * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Output recorded stderr on file
+ descriptor 2.
+ * tests/getopt.test: Fix erroneous multiple redirection,
+ uncovered by above change.
+
+ 2008-10-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ 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
+ new condition; skip test if perl is too old or ithreads are not
+ available.
+ * lib/Automake/tests/DisjConditions-t.pl: Likewise.
+ * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
+
+ 2008-10-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

+ * m4/amversion.in: Likewise.
+ * lib/Automake/Variable.pm: Likewise.
+ * lib/Automake/XFile.pm: Likewise.
+
+ Diagnose unsupported uses of `backname' helper function.
+ * automake.in (backname): Error out if the path points outside
+ the directory it started in.
+
+ 2008-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Nicer 'make dist' output.
+ * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Hide the complex script
+ used for computing the relative subdirs; echo the sub-make
+ command.
+
+ 2008-10-12 William Pursell <bill.pursell@gmail.com> (tiny patch)
+
+ * tests/defs.in: Fix comment typo.

+ Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Fix grammar w.r.t. plurals in test reports.
+ * lib/am/check.am: Fix singular/plural forms in test reports.
+ * tests/check10.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
