+
+ Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
+ * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
+ instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
+
+2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
+ `make dist' to fail.

+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
+
+2010-06-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

+ * tests/suffix6.test: Likewise, and do not create a useless dummy
+ source file.
+ * tests/suffix7.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/suffix5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
+ changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slighty stricter.
+ * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
+ changes. Also, do not redirect grep output to /dev/null, as this
+ might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
+ * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
+ in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
+ idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
+ grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
+ * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
+ stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
+ * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the
+ env(1) utility, and make grepping of make output stricter by using
+ $FGREP rather than plain grep.
+ * tests/suffix11.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/suffix12.test: Likewise.

+
+2010-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+

+
+ Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
+ * tests/obsolte.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
+ an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.

+ * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
+ `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
+ to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

+ in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
+ output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
+ * tests/substre2.test: Ensure verbose printing of the captured
+ make's output, and make its grepping slighty stricter.

+ instead of grep (this change makes some checks slighty stricter).

+ created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
+
+ Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.

+ * tests/cond7.test: Likewise. Also, remove useless setting of

+ Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
+ * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
+ Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
+ test scripts can indeed be useful.
+
+2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
+ * bootstrap: Detemine what the PATH separator is the same way
+ autoconf does.
+
+ Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
+ * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
+ improvement to comments.
+ ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
+ Prepend it to all error messages.
+
+ Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
+ * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
+ which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
+ which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
+ This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
+ is run with BSD make in parallel mode.

+2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
+ * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by

+ * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
+ the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
+ * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
+ $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
+ * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
+ Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
+ These changes make some checks slighty stricter.
