|
90bea64b | 2011-10-01 21:31:07 | parallel-tests: automake error our on invalid TEST_EXTENSIONS This change fixes automake bug#9400. * automake.in (handle_tests): Bail out if a suffix specified in TEST_EXTENSIONS would produce an invalid `xxx_LOG_COMPILER' variable or an invalid suffix rule. Before this change, automake would have issued a confusing error messages (about invalid or non-POSIX variables being defined), and in some situations would have even produced a broken `Makefile.in' file. ($TEST_EXTENSION_PATTERN): New helper variable. * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Document the limitations on TEST_EXTENSIONS explicitly. * NEWS: Update. * tests/test-extensions.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. | |

(Extending aclocal): Suggest telling the user about ACLOCAL_PATH. * THANKS: Update. Report by Peter Johansson. | |

7aea1eda | 2011-09-19 11:28:42 | docs: deprecate JAVA primary * doc/automake.texi (Java): Deprecate the JAVA primary, stating that it will become obsolete in automake 1.12 and probably removed altogether in automake 1.13. Reflect this in the section title, by appending the string "(deprecated feature)". (@menu, @detailmenu): Update.

|
30f99cbd | 2011-09-05 17:37:44 | aclocal: more granularity in acdir overriding Before this change, using the `--acdir' option caused aclocal to redefine both the directory of automake-provided m4 macros and the directory of third-party system-wide m4 macros. With this change, we deprecate the `--acdir' aclocal option, and introduce two new options `--automake-acdir' and `--system-acdir', to allow for more granularity. * aclocal.in (@automake_includes, @system_includes, @user_includes): Fix and extend comments. (usage): Update. (handle_acdir_option): New function. (parse_arguments): Recognize new options `--system-acdir' and `automake-acdir', and handle `--acdir' using the new function above. Simplify logic by assuming that the directory of third-party system-wide m4 files always exists. * tests/aclocal.in: Update to use the new options, instead of the deprecated. `--acdir'. * m4/dirlist: Move ... * m4/acdir/dirlist: ... here. * m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Update. (m4datadir): Rename ... (automake_acdir): ... to this. Accordingly, ... (dist_m4data_DATA): ... rename this ... (dist_automake_ac_DATA): ... to this. (system_acdir): New, directory. (dist_system_ac_DATA): New, defined to an empty value; this will ensure that the $(system_acdir) directory will be created by "make install". * tests/aclocal.test: Remove check about the `--print-ac-dir' option of aclocal, it has been moved into ... * tests/aclocal-print-acdir.test: ... this new test, and quite extended. * tests/aclocal-acdir.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new tests. * NEWS, bootstrap: Update. * doc/automake.texi (aclocal Options, Macro Search Path): Update. | |
|

|
9667c39a | 2011-06-24 09:15:14 | Revert "docs: parallel-tests is not experimental anymore" This reverts commit a9eef973b5ea47cc3495f1a8307d4f7b85aea46f. It turned out that the current work to introduce TAP and SubUnit support in Automake-generated testsuite harnesses will probably require the introduction of slight incompatibilities in the 'parallel-tests' behaviour, starting from release 1.12 onward. So it's advisable to continue to characterize the 'parallel-tests' support as "experimental" in maintenance release 1.11.2. Suggestion from Ralf Wildenhues. | |
|
5755b7bc | 2011-06-23 18:38:34 | docs: minor cosmetic fixes * doc/automake.texi: Break few overly long lines, throughout the file. ("Simple Tests"): Move @vindex for XFAIL_TESTS to the correct position, i.e., before and not after the paragraph where it is introduced. ("Options" @item ansi2knr): Use @pxref instead of @xref. This fixes a texinfo warning. ("Other things Automake recognizes" @item AM_C_PROTOTYPES): Use @pxref instead of @ref. | |

Other related adjustments. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list ): Give a warning in the `obsolete' category when the `ansi2knr' option is used. * m4/protos.m4 (AM_C_PROTOTYPES): Deprecate this macro: a warning in the `obsolete' category will be emitted it if is used. * tests/ansi2knr-deprecation.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. * tests/ansi.test: Adjust, by calling autoconf and/or automake with the `-Wno-obsolete' flag. * tests/ansi10.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi2.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi3b.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi4.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi5.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi6.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi7.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi8.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. * tests/cxxansi.test: Likewise. * tests/libobj8.test: Likewise. * NEWS: Update about the future planned backward-incompatibility due to the removal of de-ANSI-fication feature. | |

|
97600392 | 2011-06-10 12:26:42 | distcheck: add support for AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS * doc/automake.texi (Checking the Distribution): Suggest to use AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, not DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, to define (in the top-level Makefile.am) extra flags to be passed to configure at "make distcheck" time; DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS should be reserved for the user. Add proper `@vindex' directive. Document that AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS is not honoured in a subpackage Makefile.am, but the flags in it are passed down to the configure script of the subpackage. * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): Also pass the flags in $(AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS) to the configure invocation. Update comments. * tests/defs.in.test (AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS): Unset in case they are exported in the environment, they might improperly influence our testsuite. * tests/distcheck-configure-flags.test: New test. * tests/distcheck-configure-flags-am.test: Likewise. * tests/distcheck-configure-flags-subpkg.test: Likewise. * distcheck-hook.test: Likewise. * distcheck-hook2.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

|
24b9022b | 2011-06-02 12:15:52 | maintcheck: fix some failures, extend some checks * Makefile.am (sc_diff_automake_in_automake): Update, as we now expect 9 lines, not 8, to be changed from `automake.in' to `automake'. (sc_diff_aclocal_in_aclocal): New maintainer check, similar to the above, and checking that only 10 lines are changed from `aclocal.in' to `aclocal'. (syntax_check_rules): Update. (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Exempt self tests `self-check-*.test' from this check, as they can legitimately use the bare `exit' builtin in various places. * doc/automake.texi (Python): Remove stray `@' from the end of a line. Typo introduced in commit `v1.11-312-g5bf7af6'. * tests/depcomp8a.test: Pass DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to make from the environment rather than from the command line, to pacify the `sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline' maintainer check. * tests/depcomp8b.test: Likewise. | |
|
8a8890a9 | 2011-05-29 11:04:08 | build: the user can override AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE too Our build system allows the user to override AUTOCONF and AUTOHEADER at configure time, and honours these overrides in our testsuite. But it didn't do the same with AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE. This change fixes that inconsistency. * configure.ac (am_AUTOM4TE, am_AUTOUPDATE, am_AUTORECONF): New AC_SUBSTitutions. Update comments. * tests/defs.in ($AUTOUPDATE): Default to `@am_AUTOUPDATE@' now. ($AUTOM4TE): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTOM4TE@'. ($AUTORECONF): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTORECONF@'. * doc/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): Update. | |
|
a9eef973 | 2011-05-11 16:01:52 | docs: parallel-tests is not experimental anymore The parallel-tests driver has now been used quite extensively by a fair number of real-world applications (e.g., GNU coreutils, GNU libtool, GNU grep, and various packages using Gnulib), and thus exposed to adequate on-field testing. So there's no point in declaring it experimental anymore (which would risk to make potential users shy away from it). * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Do not declare the parallel-tests driver as "experimental" anymore. | |
