-
- Fixups and tests for cscope functionality.
- It seems cscope is not able to take into account relative
- file names of included cscope.files files, but it is able to
- canonicalize file names containing '../' sequences.
- This patch makes the cscope references relative again, and
- fixes some corner cases.
- * NEWS: Reword a bit.
- * THANKS: Update.
- * automake.in (handle_tags): Use $(am__cd). Provide default
- empty rule for the `cscope' target, for empty sources.
- * lib/am/tags.am (cscopelist): Construct relative path to files
- in $(srcdir) if $(srcdir) is relative.
- [TOPDIR_P] (cscope): Do not depend on cscope-clean. Only invoke
- $(CSCOPE) if cscope.files is nonemtpy.
- (clean-cscope): Rename from ...
- (cscopeclean): ... this.
- (cscope.files): Depend on clean-cscope.
- (distclean-tags) [!TOPDIR_P]: No need to remove cscope files

- tests.
- * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.

- 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

-
- 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.
- Report by Bruno Haible.

- 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.

-

- 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.
-

- * 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.
+ cscope.test: ensure verbose printing of captured stderr.
+ * tests/cscope.test: Print captured stderr before failing.

- 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',

-
- 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.

+ Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
+ * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,

- testsuite: parallel make fixes.
- This patch fixes a couple of testsuite bugs exposed with
- `MAKE=make\ -jN make check'.
- * tests/libtoo10.test: Do not run `clean' in same $MAKE
- invocation as `all check'. Fixes test failure with parallel
- NetBSD `make -jN'.
- * tests/nobase.test: Be sure to create a directory before
- creating files in it. Fixes test failure with MAKE=`make -jN'
- for NetBSD make. This issue is hidden with parallel GNU make
- 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
- are no open files left when the cleanup code runs.

- silent-rules reorganization, --enable-silent-rules switch.
- This patch introduces a configure-time option to set the default
- verbosity. Since configure now needs to know whether the
- `silent-rules' automake option was set, the latter can only be
- 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 `$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'.
- (handle_configure): Do not pass `--silent-rules' to automake.
- (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace `AM_SILENT_RULES'. If seen,
- enable global `silent-rules' option.
- (usage): Do not document `--silent-rules'.
- (parse_arguments): Do not accept `--silent-rules'.
- * doc/automake.texi (Options): Overhaul. Document
- AM_SILENT_RULES, --enable-silent-rules, --disable-silent-rules,
- AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY. Show an example for user-added variables
- for less verbose output.
- (Invoking Automake): Remove documentation for `--silent-rules'.
- (Public Macros): Document `AM_SILENT_RULES'.
- * NEWS: Update.
- * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
- `silent-rules' only as option in configure.ac.
- * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If the `silent-rules' option
- was enabled, require `AM_SILENT_RULES'; move AM_BACKSLASH
- initialization to ...
- * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): ... this new file, new macro.
- Deal with `--enable-silent-rules' switch; define
- AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY.
- * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add silent.m4.
- * tests/dollarvar.test: Remove tests for `--silent-rules', use
- `AM_SILENT_RULES'.
- * tests/flavor.test: Remove test for `--silent-rules'.
- * tests/silent.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
- `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; use `--enable-silent-rules'.
+ Fix distcheck failure with distributed generated parallel tests.
+ * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Cope with $(srcdir)
+ being different from the value at developer `make dist' time.
