e677ba93 | 2012-06-27 15:55:14 | docs: document AM_MISSING_PROG Addresses automake bug#11793. This macro has been present for a long time, and coreutils has been relying on it despite no documentation, which argues that it is stable enough to be worth documenting. Furthermore, since we are hoping to change our preferred invocation from 'missing --run program' to 'missing program' in a future version of automake, we need a way for packages to consistently get the preferred invocation form rather than open-coding a call to 'missing'. In particular, the Autoconf manual would love to recommend this macro when discussing how to integrate an autotest suite with automake. * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Document AM_MISSING_PROG.

0fcbd7c1 | 2012-06-26 10:40:39 | missing: --run is supported again (as a no-op) for use by older automake Commit v1.12.1-87-ga22717d of 2012-06-21 ("missing: do not touch timestamps; only warn for out-of-date files") has removed the '--run' option, since our new preferred calling conventions now imply it; but if a newer 'missing' is mixed with an already built project that used an older Automake version (this happened in practice for GNU m4; see: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-m4/2012-06/msg00001.html>), then the 'Makefile' in that project will fail due to passing the '--run' option when trying to bring the project up-to-date. * lib/missing: Parse and ignore '--run'.

3a714959 | 2012-06-23 13:42:10 | tests: fix automatic re-execution of tests with Zsh * defs: Use '$argv0' instead of '$0'. With Zsh not started right away in Bourne-compatibility mode, the latter will be the path not of the test script itself, but of the file it's currently sourcing -- i.e., in our case, './defs'. This would cause the automatic re-execution code to execute './defs' (basically a no-op) rather than re-run the test correctly. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> | |

76fea2de | 2012-06-23 11:16:08 | tests: drop support for older Zsh shells * defs-static.in: Here. The fact that such support has been broken for almost a year (only fixed by today's commit 'v1.12.1-57-gf1e0300'), causing no bug reports from anyone, shows that such support is not truly warranted. And it will get in the way of future improvements in the handling of the exit trap (because bugs in older Zsh versions will prevent some of our planned improvements). So just drop it. * t/README: Remove obsolete advice for working around bugs in older versions of Zsh; instead, indicate version 4.3 is the oldest Zsh now supported.

3a1a8c6d | 2012-06-22 11:40:39 | tests: automatic re-execution works for non-POSIX shells too Some inferior shells are too greedy in parsing their input. If a non-POSIX Bourne shell (like Solaris 10 /bin/sh) was used to launch one of our test scripts, it would fail unconditionally, because it unexpectedly saw some (by it) unsupported constructs, notwithstanding such constructs being placed *after* the code implementing automatic test re-execution with a better shell. In conclusion, the shell bailed out like this: $ /bin/sh t/ar.sh $ t/ar.sh: syntax error at line 257: `is_newest_files=$' unexpected By moving all the potentially problematic code in a separate file, to be sourced only after the code for automatic re-execution with a better shell, we ensure that inferior shell cannot see such code by mistake. * defs: All code after automatic shell re-execution moved out ... * t/ax/test-init.sh: ... to this new file. * syntax-checks.mk (xdefs): Add it. * Makefile.am (dist_check_DATA): Add it.

a22717df | 2012-06-15 11:13:00 | missing: do not touch timestamps; only warn for out-of-date files Before this change, the missing script had a twofold role: - it warned the user if some required maintainer tools was missing, or too old; - in such a case, it tried to "fix" the timestamp of the files that should have been rebuilt by that tool (without actually updating the file contents, of course), to allow the build to continue. The second capability used to be quite useful in the days when most projects committed files generated by maintainer-only tools in their VCS repository (today the trend is not to keep such generated files VCS-committed anymore). In such a setup, the "timestamp-fixing" capability of 'missing' was quite useful, in that it allowed users lacking some required maintainer tool to build from a VCS checkout in the face of skewed timestamps (as could have been caused by "cvs update" or "git checkout"). But then, when the automatic remake rules kicked in due to the generated files being *actually out-of-date* (e.g., because the user had modified 'configure.ac' but lacked a modern-enough autoconf to rebuild it), that behaviour of 'missing' caused the same problem that plagued AM_MAINTAINER_MODE; i.e., the user would get non-dependable builds and inconsistent statuses of the build tree -- changes to source files don't reflect on generated files, and this can be very confusing and cause hard-to-spot errors). So we now believe that the best approach to deal with timestamp-related issues is not to have 'missing' to "automagically" try to resolve them (with all the risk and brittleness entailed), but rather to suggest those projects still keeping generated files committed in their VCS to provide a proper (say) 'fix-timestamp.sh' script that touches the timestamp of the checked-out files, to ensure no spurious rebuild will be triggered. As a bonus, such a script can be more aware of the particularities, nooks and corner cases of a project, and thus more reliable than the old 'missing' script. An example of this approach is offered by GNU awk (release 4.0.1, Git tag 'gawk-4.0.1', commit b85b04e8). The GNU awk maintainers commit the Autotools-generated files (configure, Makefile.in, etc.) and other generated in the project's Git repository, but offer a useful script 'bootstrap.sh' that fixes the timestamps of those files, to ensure no useless remake is triggered in a freshly cloned repository: #! /bin/sh # bootstrap.sh --- touch relevant files to avoid out-of-date issues # in Git sandboxes touch aclocal.m4 find awklib -type f -print | xargs touch sleep 1 touch configure sleep 2 touch configh.in sleep 1 touch test/Maketests find . -name Makefile.in -print | xargs touch touch doc/*.info touch po/*.gmo touch po/stamp-po touch awkgram.c touch command.c touch version.c A similar, simplified script is also reported as an example in the manual. * NEWS: Update. * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs, maintainer-mod): Update. (CVS): Do not suggest that 'missing' can "automagically" fix botched timestamp due to a "cvs update"; this isn't true anymore. Give an example of a custom 'fix-timestamp.sh' script that can be used to obtain the same effect (in a slightly more laborious but also more explicit and less brittle way). Fix some minor typos and improper wordings while we are at it. * lib/missing: Basically rewritten to implement the new semantics. As a side effect (one of the several), the '--run' option is no more required nor recognized. * m4/missing.m4 (AM_MISSING_HAS_RUN): Enhance the test on '$MISSING' to ensure it actually provides the new semantics (by trying the new "witness" option '--is-lightweight'). * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): No need anymore to check for "bad" distributed man pages that were actually dummy stubs generated by the 'missing' script. * t/missing4.sh: Rename ... * t/remake-aclocal-version-mismatch.sh: ... like this. * t/missing2.sh: Rename ... * t/missing-version-mismatch.sh: ... like this, and adjust to the new semantics. * t/missing3.sh: Adjust to the new semantics. * t/man4.sh: Remove as obsolete. * t/missing.sh: Likewise. * t/missing5.sh: Likewise. * t/txinfo30.sh: Likewise. * t/man6.sh: Adjust grepping checks. * t/remake6.sh: Likewise. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Adjust.

205c7572 | 2012-06-17 12:23:18 | texi: require Texinfo >= 4.9, related enhancements We start passing the '--build-dir' option to the texi2dvi and texi2pdf invocations done in our Texinfo-related rules. The argument for this option will be specific for each info_TEXINFOS entry, to work around a texi2dvi bug that could otherwise cause racy failures in parallel make builds: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2012-06/msg00073.html> That bug seems already fixed in the development version of texi2dvi, though: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2012-06/msg00074.html> so the details of our '--build-dir' usage can be revisited once we can assume Texinfo 5.0 or later. Since the '--build-dir' options has been only supported since Texinfo 4.9, we lose compatibility with all older Texinfo versions. But we also get some real improvements. First, the '--build-dir' option implies the '--tidy' option; this, like the '--clean' option that we were formerly using, prevents cluttering of the build directory with all the TeX and Texinfo auxiliary files and build by-products, but, differently from '--clean', keeps them around for later re-runs to use; this shortens the rebuild times considerably. Second, the use of '--build-dir' also allows us to specify different build directories for the PDF and DVI output, preventing the rules building them from stomping on each other's feet when run in parallel. This is demonstrated by the test cases 'txinfo-no-clutter.sh' and 'txinfo33.sh', which before this change used to fail when run with MAKE="make -j4", but now succeed even in that case. * NEWS: Update. * lib/am/texibuilds.am: Do not try to avoid texi2dvi/texi2pdf option '-o'; it has been supported since Texinfo 4.1, and we now require Texinfo >= 4.9. Remove an obsolete comment. Modify calls to texi2dvi and texi2pdf to use the '--build-dir' option, so that TeX auxiliary files and build by-products for a 'foo.texi' input will be placed in a 'foo.t2d' directory (for texi2dvi) or in a 'foo.t2p' directory (for texi2pdf). * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Greatly simplify the implementation, since we don't need anymore to keep track of the TeX auxiliary files and build by-products to clean. Drop the '@CLEAN_FILES' part of the return value. (handle_texinfo_helper): Adjust the 'scan_texinfo_file()' call to its new signature. Append the "work directories" now created by texi2dvi and texi2pdf invocation to the list of files/directories removed upon "make mostlyclean". * lib/am/texinfos.am: Update the cleaning rules (and comments) accordingly. * t/txinfo-no-clutter.sh: Minimal adjustment to avoid spurious failures. * .gitignore: Update.

61dfb470 | 2012-06-12 17:24:21 | docs: recursive make considered harmful In the documentation, we shouldn't confuse "packages using subdirectories" with "packages using recursive make invocations". A package can have a careful organization in subdirectories, make no (or almost no) use of make recursion (examples of such packages are GNU bison, GNU cppi, and Automake itself). In fact, make recursion should be used as seldom as possible, because it makes the build system more brittle and dependency declarations less faithful. See Peter Miller's article "Recursive Make Considered Harmful" for more a more in-depth discussion: http://miller.emu.id.au/pmiller/books/rmch/ * doc/automake.texi (Directories): Clarify how a build system based on make recursion does. Observe that such a system, albeit being very widespread, has its own issues and drawbacks, and that one can have a non-recursive setup also for projects using complex directory layout.

ec6a1357 | 2012-06-10 23:08:07 | subdirs: unify rules for "cleaning" and "normal" recursive targets Before this change, the recursive invocation of cleaning targets in the $(SUBDIRS) where done in inverse order, i.e., starting from the last $(SUBDIRS) entry and proceeding towards the first. According to the code comments, this was done ... ... in an attempt to alleviate a problem that can happen when dependencies are enabled. In this case, the .P file in one directory can depend on some automatically generated header in an earlier directory. Since the dependencies are required before any target is examined, make bombs. But this comment does not apply anymore to the current implementation of automatic dependency tracking: the '.Po' and '.Plo' files does not depend on any C header or source file, ever! So it seems that the distinction between "normal" and "cleaning" recursive targets is a stale leftover of an older implementation of the automatic dependency tracking. In fact, the Automake History manual seems to confirm this suspect; the section "First Take on Dependency Tracking" reads: Because each .P file was a dependency of Makefile, this meant that dependency tracking was done eagerly by make. For instance, "make clean" would cause all the dependency files to be updated, and then immediately removed. This eagerness also caused problems with some configurations; if a certain source file could not be compiled on a given architecture for some reason, dependency tracking would fail, aborting the entire build. and the following section "Dependencies As Side Effects" reads: In this approach, the .P files were included using the -include command, which let us create these files lazily. This avoided the "make clean" problem. So the distinction between "normal" and "cleaning" recursive targets has likely been obsolete since by then already. We can thus remove such distinction, thus reducing some complications and duplication in our rules. Doing so, the whole testsuite still passes (both with GCC and Sun C 5.9), even the test 'c-demo.sh', which, among the other things, exercise the setup described in the obsolete code comment referenced above. Finally, note that we still keep '$(RECURSIVE_CLEAN_TARGETS)' and '$(RECURSIVE_TARGETS)' as two distinct variables, to ensure a better backward-compatibility for any user-defined rules that happen to use those variables. * NEWS: Update. * lib/am/subdirs.am ($(RECURSIVE_CLEAN_TARGETS), $(CLEAN_TARGETS)): Merge their recipes. * t/subdir-distclean.sh: New test, check that "./configure && make && make distclean" is actually a no-op, even when conditional SUBDIRS are involved. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.

Drop the now-useless transform '%CONFIG%' when including 'tags.am'. * lib/am/tags.am: Use it in several recipes and dependencies list to reduce code duplication.

96497293 | 2012-06-01 19:15:29 | maint: deprecate 'configure.in' as autoconf input It has been years since that has been deprecated in the documentation, in favour of 'configure.ac': Previous versions of Autoconf promoted the name configure.in, which is somewhat ambiguous (the tool needed to process this file is not described by its extension), and introduces a slight confusion with config.h.in and so on (for which '.in' means "to be processed by configure"). Using configure.ac is now preferred. It's now time to start giving runtime warning about the use of 'configure.in', so that support for it can be removed in future versions of autoconf/automake. See also, in the Autoconf repository, commit 'v2.69-4-g560f16b' of 2012-05-23, "general: deprecate 'configure.in' as autoconf input". * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Issue a warning in the 'obsolete' category if 'configure.in' is detected. Since this module is synced from Automake, this change is to be backported there (and will be soon). * t/help.sh: Adjust. * t/configure.sh: Adjust and enhance.
