3a7b60b1 2012-01-18 18:42:46 Merge branch 'maint' * maint: cmdline parsing: move into a dedicated perl module
52246cc7 2012-01-18 17:55:40 cmdline parsing: move into a dedicated perl module With this change, we delegate most of the automake and aclocal code for command-line options parsing to a new module "Automake::Getopt". This allows better code sharing between automake and aclocal, and also with Autoconf, which will sync the new module from us. See also autoconf commit 'v2.68-120-gf4be358' (2012-01-17, "getopt: new Autom4te::Getopt module"), and this mailing list discussion: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2012-01/msg00033.html> This change might interact with the behaviour described in automake bug#7434; for example, starting from now, "automake -Wfoo --version" will cause automake to emit diagnostic like "unknown warning category 'foo'" before actually printing the version number and exiting. This is not a big deal in practice, and the code sharing and simplifications introduced by this patch is certainly worth it. Still, we should revisited the issue in the future. * lib/Automake/Getopt.pm: New module, basically a slightly-edited copy of the 'lib/Autom4te/Getopt.pm' file from the autoconf devel repository (commit v2.68-120-gf4be358). It defines and exports ... (parse_options): ... this new function. * automake.in (parse_arguments): Use the new function. * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (dist_perllib_DATA): Add the new file. * tests/getopt.test: Remove. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Update.
c45e3c37 2012-01-18 17:25:24 tests: don't use custom TAP diagnostic in our own tests We simply don't need it (yet), we are not actually using it (the set up for using it is there in the Makefile, but no test script makes actual use of that). * tests/Makefile.am (TAP_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS): Remove '-comments' and '--diagnostic-string' options. * tests/defs ($diag_string_): Remove redefinition.
b94e8bb6 2012-01-18 14:47:10 tests: better name for a couple of tests Two tests checking "make -n" behaviour with the parallel-tests harness has been introduced in the Automake repository in the past: one of them ('parallel-tests-dryrun.test') in the maint branch, the other one ('parallel-tests-dry-run.test') in the master branch. Needless to say, their too-much-similar names can be a great source of confusion now. Moreover, the two tests have been written during distinct refactorings, and are meant to exercise different code paths and/or usage scenarios, so that no one of them subsumes the other, and they should be both kept. Thus we simply rename both of them to avoid future confusion. * tests/parallel-tests-dryrun.test: Renamed ... * tests/parallel-tests-dry-run-1.test: .. to this. * tests/parallel-tests-dry-run.test: Renamed ... * tests/parallel-tests-dry-run-2.test: .. to this. Add cross-reference among them. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Adjust.
cff337e6 2012-01-18 14:15:03 build: simplify our top-level "recheck" target * Makefile.am (recheck): Now that all the test scripts are in the 'tests/' directory, its recipe can be greatly simplified, as we don't need to deal with recursion in multiple subdirectories anymore.
b4ba4e86 2012-01-18 14:08:57 Merge branch 'maint' * maint: cosmetics: move CheckListOfTests.am into tests/ tests: move all under the same hierarchy ('tests/' directory) gitlog-to-changelog: update from upstream changelog: don't cluster multiple entries under the same "date line" + Extra non-trivial edits: * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Update with the xfailing tests that were in 'lib/Automake/tests'. Add proper "FIXME" comment.
a1e77caf 2012-01-18 13:40:21 cosmetics: move CheckListOfTests.am into tests/ After the previous change 'v1.11-660-gfbeda3d', the makefile fragment 'CheckListOfTests.am' is used only by the Makefile.am in 'tests'; so keeping them two nearer makes sense. It also help in reducing potential confusion, since (after that same change) the whole Automake testsuite is expected to be (and remain) contained into the 'tests' subdirectory. * CheckListOfTests.am: Move ... * tests/CheckListOfTests.am: ... to this. * tests/Makefile.am (include): Adjust.
fbeda3da 2012-01-18 12:17:11 tests: move all under the same hierarchy ('tests/' directory) This simplifies the organization of the Automake source tree and reduces the (lamentably high) number of Makefiles in the Automake build system by one. It also makes the maintainer check that verifies the consistency of list of tests more self-contained and simpler. Finally, it might be a first step forward the transition to a non-recursive build system for automake (if we ever decide to go down that road fully some day). * lib/Automake/tests: All the '*.pl' tests in here moved ... * tests/pm: ... into this new directory. * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am: Remove, its meaningful contents moved ... * tests/Makefile.am: ... here, with obvious adjustments. (test_subdirs): New variable, for the sake of the recipe of 'maintainer-check-list-of-tests'. * CheckListOfTests (maintainer-check-list-of-tests): Enhance its recipe to make it able to deal with test script residing in subdirectories. * Makefile.am (maintainer-check-list-of-tests): Simplified. (TEST_SUBDIRS): Remove, no more needed. * tests/list-of-tests.mk (perl_TESTS): New variable, lists the '.pl' tests just moved into 'tests/pm'. (handwritten_TESTS): Add the contents of '$(perl_TESTS)'. * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Update. * .gitignore: Adjust.
2a9862a8 2012-01-18 09:45:01 gitlog-to-changelog: update from upstream * lib/gitlog-to-changelog: Update from gnulib upstream. The only changes should be cosmetic and/or minor fixlets.
a6e60819 2012-01-17 23:31:19 changelog: don't cluster multiple entries under the same "date line" * lib/gitlog-to-changelog: Synced from gnulib. The new version has a new option '--no-cluster', that disables clustering of adjacent commit messages under the same "date line". * Makefile.am (gitlog_to_changelog_options): Add '--no-cluster'. Also add a proper '--format' specification to ensure we have a blank line between the summary line and the commit message body.
f4298e61 2012-01-17 15:52:53 Merge branch 'maint' * maint: fixup: contrib: really integrate in automake build system
443114bf 2012-01-17 15:48:56 fixup: contrib: really integrate in automake build system * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add 'contrib/Makefile'. * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add 'contrib'.
0a9d201c 2012-01-17 15:06:05 check: move ".log -> .html" conversion in contrib That feature has been deprecated in the 1.11.x series, and marked for removal from the automake core in the 1.12 release. Here we implement such removal. Reference: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-01/msg00005.html> See also commit 'v1.11-650-g20f2ac9'. * doc/automake.texi, NEWS: Update. * lib/am/check.am: Don't include 'check-html.am' anymore. * lib/am/check-html.am: Move ... * contrib/check-html.am: ... to this, and adjust comments. * lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Update. * contrib/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Adjust. * tests/parallel-tests-dryrun.test: Remove checks on the ".log -> .html" conversion. * tests/test-driver-custom-html.test: Remove as obsolete. * tests/test-driver-custom-no-html.test: Likewise. * tests/tap-html.test: Likewise. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Don't list removed tests anymore.
8d51cdc0 2012-01-17 14:20:40 Merge branch 'maint' * maint: contrib: new, a directory for non-mainstream functionalities
bb9e2e62 2012-01-17 13:46:11 tap: some makes in parallel mode unconditionally serialize output Some make implementations (among them, FreeBSD make, NetBSD make, and Solaris Distributed Make), when run in parallel mode, serialize the output from their targets' recipes unconditionally. This has the nasty side effect that the user won't see the partial results of a TAP test until the test has terminated. This is not something our TAP driver script can work around unfortunately; in fact, the driver is sending out its output progressively and "in sync" with test execution -- it is make that is stowing such output away instead of presenting it to the user as soon as it gets it. So we content ourself with working around the issue in our testsuite, to at least avoid failures we could do nothing to prevent. * tests/tap-realtime.test: Skip this test if the make program used is a non-GNU make running in parallel mode. And if Sun dmake is being used, try to force it to run in serial mode, by exporting the 'DMAKE_MODE' environment variable to "serial".
e29c4918 2012-01-17 13:55:00 contrib: new, a directory for non-mainstream functionalities This new 'contrib' hierarchy will be a good place were to move implementation/support for obsolescent features we are not yet ready to remove completely, or were to leave experimental or third-party features to cook before their eventual inclusion in the automake core. * contrib: New directory. * contrib/README: New file. * contrib/Makefile.am: New file. (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute README.
d6a14750 2012-01-17 11:14:32 docs: APIs for custom test drivers are highly experimental * doc/automake.texi (API for Custom Test Drivers): The APIs described here are not "somewhat experimental", but rather "highly experimental". Don't promise the sure a sort of backward-compatibility that we are very likely not going to keep.
d376fb60 2012-01-17 11:07:01 tests: avoid spurious failures with parallel make Some tests are unprepared to be run with a make command that runs in parallel mode by default. This can happen e.g., if the user explicitly run the tests with something like: AM_TESTSUITE_MAKE="gmake -j3" in the in the environment, but also if the make used in the testsuite is Sun Distributed Make, and the 'DMAKE_MODE' environment variable is set to "parallel". Fix some instances of this issue. * tests/tap-doc.test (Makefile.am): Declare explicit dependencies among the test cases, to ensure they are run in the correct order. * tests/tap-doc2.test: Set the 'DMAKE_MODE' environment variable to "serial", to prevent Sun dmake from trying to run in parallel. Remove other now-superfluous workarounds for dmake.
30f40f63 2012-01-17 10:33:46 tests: fix spurious failures with Solaris dmake Solaris Distributed Make, when run in parallel mode, can sprinkle its standard output with lines like: hostname --> 2 jobs ... hostname --> Job output ... This behaviour was causing spurious errors in some tests where we compare the output of make with a known, expected value. Fix that. * tests/tap-doc.test: Before comparing the output from make with its expected value, remove extra lines that could have been printed by Solaris dmake. * tests/tap-doc2.test: Likewise.

3d6197fe 2012-01-16 18:35:50 Merge branch 'check-html-deprecate' into maint * check-html-deprecate: recheck: fix interaction with "make -n" recheck: behave better with non-GNU make check: separate .log -> .html conversion from core testsuite harness docs: deprecate .log -> .html conversion by parallel-tests
8fec2399 2012-01-13 22:39:47 recheck: fix interaction with "make -n" * lib/am/check.am (recheck): Ensure the recipe does not erroneously remove '.log' files when running under "make -n". For the sake of NetBSD make, this also means that ... (.MAKE): ... this cannot depend on 'recheck' anymore. * tests/parallel-tests-dryrun.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.
12dc0ec5 2012-01-16 16:42:25 vala: avoid potential useless remakes (minor bugfix) * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Ensure the timestamp file from which the C files generated from Vala sources depend on gets created with a modification time that is truly older than those of said generated C files. This prevents make from attempting useless rebuilds (which were bound to happen deterministically on systems with sub-second timestamp resolutions). It is worth noting that, luckily, those useless rebuild ended up being a no-op, since the Vala compiler is careful not to update the timestamp of an output file if its content has not changed from the previous version. Still, the useless rebuilds messed up "make -q" and "make -n" invocations, and were technically incorrect (despite being, as noted, inoffensive in practice). Problem revealed by failure of tests vala-mix.test and vala5.test on a fast Solaris 10 system whose filesystem had a sub-second timestamp resolution.
3da9c4c7 2012-01-16 15:38:56 vala: enhance tests * tests/vala.test: Extend test. Throw in some cosmetic and consistency changes since we are at it. * tests/vala5.test: Avoid uselessly requiring libtool. Ensure a failure happens in case VALAFLAGS are not supported as expected. Extend test in some ways. Throw in some cosmetic and consistency changes since we are at it. * tests/vala-mix.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.
d9a7182e 2012-01-13 18:53:43 recheck: behave better with non-GNU make * automake.in (handle_tests): Also substitute '%CHECK_DEPS%' with the value of the '@check' array, containing the list of early test dependencies like '$(check_SCRIPTS)', $(check_PROGRAMS)', etc. * lib/am/check.am (recheck): Explicitly depend on '%CHECK_DEPS%'. (check, recheck): Unify the implementation of their recipes, with different code paths taken depending on the name of the target. This makes the implementation of "recheck" less brittle in the process (especially when non-GNU make and AM_MAKEFLAGS overriding are involved). * lib/am/check-html.am (check-html, recheck-html): Likewise. * tests/check.test: Adjust to avoid spurious failure. * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Improve coverage.
20f2ac90 2012-01-13 17:56:13 check: separate .log -> .html conversion from core testsuite harness That feature is to be deprecated in the 1.11.x series, and removed from the automake core in the 1.12 release, where it will instead be offered in a semi-independent extra '*.am' fragment. So let's start better separating the .log -> .html conversion from the "core code" of the parallel-tests harness. Reference: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-01/msg00005.html> * lib/am/check.am (.log.html, check-html, recheck-html): Move these targets ... * automake.in (handle_tests): ... and the initialization of the TEST_SUITE_HTML variable and the cleaning of the $(TEST_SUITE_HTML) file ... * lib/am/check-html.am: ... in this new file, with related (minor) refactorings, enhancements and simplifications. * lib/am/check.am (.MAKE. PHONY, AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Adjust. * lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Add 'check-html.am'. * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Improve coverage.
20d99e05 2012-01-08 19:26:18 docs: deprecate .log -> .html conversion by parallel-tests That feature is to be deprecated in the 1.11.x series, and removed in the 1.12 release. Reference: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-01/msg00005.html> * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Deprecate the '.log' -> '.html' conversion and the targets 'check-html' and 'recheck-html'. Related rewording and reformatting. * NEWS (Future backward-incompatibilities): Update.
068b2f53 2012-01-16 10:18:06 tests: list some forgotten test cases in $(TESTS) This way, they will be properly executed by "make check", and properly distributed. Our previous commit 'v1.11-647-g27f1a1c' is already paying its dividends! * tests/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add check12.test, dist-missing-included-m4.test, dist-missing-am.test, and dist-missing-m4.test.
27f1a1c9 2012-01-16 10:05:59 maintcheck: consistency of list of test scripts This is basically a backport of commit 'v1.11-358-g7b6ab07' and its follow-ups. The possibility of easily checking that the list of test scripts listed in a Makefile equals that of the tests on the filesystem has proved itself so useful that it's worth taking the annoyance of backporting it to maint. * CheckListOfTests.am: New file, backported from master (commit 'v1.11-1736-g083a75b') with minor adjustments. (maintainer-check-list-of-tests): New target, check for consistency between the list of tests defined in the including Makefile and the list of tests on the filesystem. (clean-maintcheck-testslist-tmp): New rule, to clean up temporary files that might be left around by the rules associated with the previous target. (clean-local): Depend on it. * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am: Include `CheckListOfTests.am'. * tests/Makefile.am: Likewise. * Makefile.am (maintainer-check-list-of-test): New target, calling recursively into `tests/' and `lib/Automake/tests/', using ... (TEST_SUBDIRS): ... this new variable. (maintainer-check): Added dependency from the new target `maintainer-check-list-of-tests'.
083a75be 2012-01-16 09:40:21 maintcheck: completeness check on list of tests simplified * CheckListOfTests.am: Simplify the recipe, accordingly to the assumption that all the entries in $(TEST_EXTENSIONS) and in $(TESTS) have an associated real test script. This was not the case when we used to have some entries in $(TESTS) that were not real files, but rather "parameters" (sort of) for the corresponding $(LOG_COMPILER). However, that usage had proven to be confusing and brittle, and thus removed (see commit 'v1.11-1308-g375f23d' of September 8 2011, "testsuite: revamp generation of autogenerated tests").
48c9d57f 2012-01-15 23:45:31 build: explicitly declare some targets as .PHONY * Makefile.am (fetch, git-dist, git-release, maintainer-check): Declare as ".PHONY".
3b594a8c 2012-01-15 23:38:58 maint: remove obsolete/broken maintainer targets * Makefile.am (git-diff): Remove. First, we don't distribute diffs between an automake version and the next one anyway, so this target is pointless. Moreover, its recipe has been broken for quite a long time now, always generating an empty diff due to the spurious '$(PACKAGE)' argument that was passed to the "git diff" invocation. (path-check): Remove. The 'pathchk' program running in this check complains about any file with name longer than 14 characters, which is a ridiculously low limit for today standards. Also, we already had several test scripts (no less than 195!) that were exceeding that limit, and nobody ever complained (not even on MinGW/MSYS nor Cygwin).
8856653e 2012-01-15 23:08:21 build: improve silencing of automake build system In this change, we continue the silencing of the automake build system that has been started in commit v1.11-642-g17542c3, but which has been left incomplete there for an (absent-mindness) mistake. * Makefile.am (INSTALL): Silence the recipe. (automake, aclocal): Likewise, and improve them a little since we are at it. * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (Config.pm): Likewise.
9d9f00ed 2012-01-15 21:07:44 tests: move list of tests in its own Makefile fragment This change will make it easier to merge maint into master, which has a similar Makefile setup in the testsuite. * tests/Makefile.am (include): Inclusion of ... * tests/list-of-tests.mk: ... this new file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Move most of its content into, and redefine in function of, ... * tests/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): ... this new variable. * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Update.

(release-stats): Be silent by default *but not unconditionally*, thanks to the use of $(AM_V_GEN). (path-check, git-diff): Be silent by default, thanks to the use of $(AM_V_GEN). * m4/Makefile.am ($(top_srcdir)/m4/amversion.m4): Likewise. * doc/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/parallel-tests.am): Likewise.

05c02989 2012-01-15 17:14:04 gnupload: moved to gnulib Since the gnupload script is not required by automake-generated code (be it configure or Makefile content), and is not specifically tied to automake in any way, it is better to have its master copy installed in the gnulib repository, as is already done for similar generally-useful, maintainer-oriented scripts. We can them sync it from there. See also gnulib commit v0.0-6822-gf8b7120, and: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-01/msg00222.html> * Makefile.am (FETCHFILES): Added 'gnupload'. (fetch): Also sync 'gnupload' from the gnulib repository. * lib/gnupload: Synced from gnulib. * NEWS: Update.

59367c05 2012-01-14 10:32:13 test defs: backport optimized 'using_gmake' implementation * tests/defs.in (using_gmake): Backport optimized, result-caching implementation from master.
0188e0f5 2012-01-13 21:56:54 tests: unify some tests on "make -n", reducing duplication * tests/maken2.test: Merge into ... * tests/maken.test: ... this test, to avoid unnecessary code duplication. Make checks depending on GNU make conditional to the actual presence of GNU make. * tests/maken4.test: Similarly, merge into ... * tests/maken3.test: ... this test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove maken2.test and maken4.test.
4013982e 2012-01-14 09:57:55 vala: use "$(am__cd) $(srcdir)", not "cd $(srcdir)" * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): In the generated rules, use '$(am__cd)', not bare 'cd', to chdir into $(scdir). Issue revealed by the maintainer check 'sc_cd_relative_dir'.

dfb5e52f 2012-01-11 18:09:07 dist: avoid $(distdir) removal failure on MSYS/MinGW This change fixes automake bug#10470. On MSYS (1.0.17) it is not possible to remove a directory that is in use, and this, together with timing issues, could cause spurious failures in the cleanup code of the "distcheck" recipe. In fact, it should be noted that assuming a directory can be removed while it the CWD of a running process is a POSIX violation: "If the directory is the root directory or the current working directory of any process, it is unspecified whether the function succeeds, or whether it shall fail and set errno to [EBUSY]." * lib/am/distdir.am (am__remove_distdir): If rm fails, sleep some seconds and retry, to give potential "pending" processes some time to exit and "release" the directory. * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 'distcheck-pr10470.test'. Report and suggestions by Peter Rosin and Eric Blake.
f1df5481 2012-01-01 19:06:00 tests: fix spurious failure of 'get-sysconf.test' * tests/get-sysconf.test: Do not assume that a ChangeLog file exists in $(srcdir): now that the ChangeLog is autogenerated and not under version control anymore, this is not necessary true. Instead, if we are running from a git checkout, use "git log" to get information on the version of the automake snapshot being tested (and fall back on extracting the first ChangeLog entry otherwise). Reported by Jim Meyering in automake bug#10418. Cherry picked from commit v1.11-1675-g104f302.

The 'dist-xz' and 'dist-lzip' recipes were erroneously using '$(am__remove_distdir)' instead of '$(am__post_remove_distdir)' to cleanup the '$(distdir)'; so a "make dist" issued in a package using (say) gzip and xz compression would have failed to properly created the gzip tarball, since the distdir was unconditionally removed by "make dist-xz" upon its completion, instead of being left populated for the following "make dist-gzip". The problem with 'dist-xz' was introduced in the merge commit `v1.11-1142-g47587d1', and the problem with 'dist-lzip' was introduced in the merge commit `v1.11-1673-gc1b14e9' * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz): Use '$(am__post_remove_distdir)', not '$(am__remove_distdir)'. (dist-lzip): Likewise.

08820f0b 2012-01-06 10:46:09 scripts: quote 'like this', not `like this' This change follows up on recent changes to the GNU coding standards. They now suggest that we should quote 'like this' or "like this" instead of `like this'; see: <http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Quote-Characters.html>. Gnulib is being changed accordingly, and Gnulib imports some files directly from Automake master, so change those files to use the straight-up style. This affects only commentary and quoting in diagnostics.
e7de1ef8 2012-01-04 11:14:52 tests: safer declarations of test dependencies To declare prerequisites common to all the tests, we now prefer to use the special `check_DATA' and `check_SCRIPTS' variables rather than "lazy" dependency declaration like "$(TEST_LOGS): DEPS ..."; this because the latter, allowing run-time overriding of the TEST_LOGS variable, turned out to be subtly incomplete in some situations involving non-trivial inter-test dependencies. For example, if the user issued a: make check TESTS=libtool.test before the `defs-static' file was created (either explicitly or implicitly), a spurious errors followed, along these lines: 1. $(TEST_LOGS) got dynamically defined to `libtool.log'; 2. make saw that, in the Makefile, `libtool.log' was explicitly declared depending on `libtool-macros.log' and `defs-static'; 3. somehow, make considered the dependency on `libtool-macros.log' *before* considering the one on `defs-static' (which BTW is perfectly legitimate on make's part); 4. to satisfy such a dependency, make set out to execute the test `libtool-macros.test' in order to create the file `libtool-macros.log'; 5. since `libtool-macros.log' was *not* in $(TEST_LOGS), it didn't appear to depend on the `defs-static' file, so make didn't consider necessary to build `defs-static' before running the `libtool-macros.test' script; 6. but that script sources `./defs-static' in order to work; thus the test `libtool-macros.test' failed spuriously. * tests/Makefile.am ($(TEST_LOGS)): Remove explicit declaration of dependency on the required files/scripts; instead use ... (check_SCRIPTS, check_DATA): ... these new variables.
61168e3c 2012-01-06 12:39:24 tests: skip tests on perl TAP driver if TAP::Parser is not available We had so far taken for granted that all the perl installations modern enough to correctly run automake also came with a built-in TAP::Parser module; unfortunately, testing on MinGW/MSYS has shown that this is not always true, and that a lot of spurious testsuite failures would take place in such a situation (see automake bug#10440). Luckily, the perl implementation of the Automake TAP driver is only meant to be used for prototyping and consistency checks, the "real" Automake TAP driver being the portable one implemented in awk. So we can simply skip the affected tests on systems lacking TAP::Parser. * tests/defs (fetch_tap_driver): Skip the whole test case if the desired tap driver implementation is the perl one but the TAP::Parser module is unavailable. * tests/tap-bad-prog.tap: Adjust order of calls to `plan_' and `fetch_tap_driver', to ensure the test is not skipped after the TAP plan has been outputted (which would lead to a spurious error). * tests/tap-bad-signal.tap: Tweak to avoid the need to source the `tap-setup.sh' script, as that might cause a test skip too late, i.e., after a TAP plan has been already printed. * tests/tap-test-number-0.test: Do not force the test to skip when the tested TAP driver implementation is not the perl one. On the other hand, when it *is* the perl one, skip the test if the TAP::Parser module is unavailable. * tests/test-driver-cond.test: Skip the part of the test actually running "make check" if the TAP::Parser module is unavailable. * tests/get-sysconf.test: Also print the version of the `TAP::Parser' module, if available. Reported by Peter Rosin.
dacb456a 2012-01-06 15:01:26 Merge branch 'maint' * maint: dist: do not wrap calls to 'tar' with the 'missing' script fixup: previous commit v1.11-627-g1e0aedc tests: fix spurious failures due to autom4te caching
01c3294b 2012-01-03 16:12:46 dist: do not wrap calls to 'tar' with the 'missing' script The `missing' script is meant to allow non-developers to build a package in the face of slightly-skewed timestamps (as might happen e.g. when the package is obtained from a VCS checkout rather than from a distribution tarball). It is *not* the business of the `missing' script to try to provide wrappers for all the maintainer tools (in this case, to tool being a decent tar program). Such wrapping of `tar' was not only inappropriate, but it was also preventing the legitimate overriding (at make runtime) of the `tar' program used in the creation of the distribution tarballs. See also automake bug#9822. * lib/missing: Don't try to specially wrap `tar' invocations anymore. * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): In the definitions of the `AMTAR' variable, do not wrap the `tar' invocation with the `missing' script anymore. Instead, allow the user to override the intended tar program at make runtime, by defining the `TAR' environment variable. [$1 == v7]: Similarly for the definitions of the `am__tar' and `am__untar' variables. Since we are at it, don't make them depend anymore on the definition of the obsolescent `AMTAR' variable. * NEWS: Update. * tests/missing-tar.test: Remove, it's obsolete. * tests/tar-override.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. Reported by Akim Demaille.

254227b6 2012-01-05 13:41:13 parallel-tests: avoid trailing backslashes in make recipes The new testsuite-harness could generate recipes with a trailing backslash character (possibly followed by blank characters only), in the very common case where the user hadn't defined the special $(AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT) variable. This caused spurious syntax errors with at least older bash versions (e.g., bash 2.05b), and could be potentially unportable to other weaker shells. See automake bug#10436: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10436> and coreutils bug#10427: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10427#8> * lib/am/check2.am: Rework line breaks so that no backslash can be at the end of a line. * tests/parallel-tests-trailing-bslash.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.

So rework the logic of the recipe to avoid any sed invocation, relying on simpler shell idioms instead. (check-TESTS): Reorganize the recipe to be more similar to the one of `recheck', for consistency and simplicity. * NEWS: Update. Report and analysis by Paul Eggert.

Fixes automake bug#7849. * tests/instspc.tap: Skip instead of erroring out when $test_string is empty for the carriageret case, as that is expected on MSYS. Also, for similar reasons, skip instead of erroring out when it is not possible to cd into the just created directory, and the directory name contains a colon. Update copyright years.

So fix this inconsistency by explicitly allowing `pkglibexec_SCRIPTS' as well. It is worth noting that the inconsistency has been there for a long time, but only the quite recent commit `v1.11-373-g9ca6326' "Warnings about primary/prefix mismatch fixed and extended" has made it noisy enough to be noticed. * automake.in (handle_scripts): Also list `pkglibexec' among the prefixes valid for the `SCRIPTS' primary. * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Likewise. * tests/primary-prefix-valid-couples.test: Update. * THANKS: Likewise. * NEWS: Likewise.

The feature implemented by that change is quite unobtrusive, so adding it to a maintenance release is acceptable. Also, there have been requests from real-world users for this feature since it has been implemented in master; see automake bug#9320: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9320> and this short discussion on the automake list: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2010-11/msg00099.html> It would be a pity to make such users wait even more (until Automake 1.12 is out) before they could start using this feature.

e637fa2a 2011-12-30 15:54:40 dist: obsolete support for lzma (superseded by xz and lzip) The lzma utilities are today superseded by the xz utilities; in fact, the official site at <http://tukaani.org/lzma/> reads: ``LZMA Utils are legacy data compression software with high compression ratio. LZMA Utils are no longer developed, ... Users of LZMA Utils should move to XZ Utils.'' and the existing automake manual (as of 1.11.2) already says: ``dist-xz Generate an 'xz' tar archive of the distribution. xz archives are frequently smaller than bzip2-compressed archives. The 'xz' format will soon (early 2009) displace the 'lzma' format'' Also, the `dist-lzma' target still suffers of never-solved bugs, due to the too-high compression ratio its uses by default, which might cause an unacceptable memory consumption when one tries to compress or, worse, decompress the created tarballs; see also: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-12/msg00025.html> <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9658> * NEWS: Update. * doc/automake.texi (Dist, Options): State that `dist-lzma' will go away in the next major automake version. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Deprecate `dist-lzma'. * tests/lzma.test: Update.

This failed to properly take into account VPATH builds (where some generated tests might be in ${builddir} rather than in ${srcdir}), TAP-based tests script (which have a `.tap' extension) and helper scripts used by other test cases (which have a `.sh' extension). Fixes automake bug#9299. * Makefile.am (xtests): New variable, containing a (dynamically computed) of files that looks like test cases of the automake testsuite. Update many rules to use this new variable instead of blindly assuming that all the testcases matches the $(srcdir)/tests/*.test wildcard. * tests/tap-bad-prog.tap: Do a minor formatting change to avoid spuriously triggering a match from the syntax check `sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline'.
bbce9c2b 2011-12-31 08:47:34 Merge branch 'dist-lzip' into maint * dist-lzip: dist: add support for lzip compression
bff8ceca 2011-12-30 19:22:55 test defs: more granular overriding of the make program Before this change, the only way the user could override the make program used in the automake test cases was to override the $MAKE variable in the environment. This had the annoying side effect of requiring that, whenever a non-default make program was to be used in the test cases, that same make program had to be used to drive the execution of the automake testsuite; otherwise, the recursive make invocations could pick up $MAKE from the environment, and use that instead of re-executing with the correct make. So, for example, if one wanted to try how Solaris /usr/ccs/bin/make behaved in the automake test cases, he couldn't run the testsuite in parallel mode, because that make lacks support for concurrent execution of recipes; on fast machines, this easily meant a 4x or higher slow-down. Once the problem is clear, the solution is pretty simple: allow the use of another variable, besides $MAKE, to override the make program to be used in the test cases. See also commit `v1.11-1318-g3ceeef4', that introduced a more general version of this change to the master branch. * tests/defs.in: Allow the make implementation to be used by the test cases to be overridden by the `$AM_TESTSUITE_MAKE' variable, in preference to the `$MAKE' variable.
34feafee 2011-12-30 18:13:28 docs: fix a couple broken anchors * doc/automake.texi: In previous commit v1.11-605-g5f71f2b (related to automake bug#8071), we had renamed the chapters about aclocal and automake invocation, and added anchors to the old names as not to break hyperlinks to our on-line manual. Unfortunately, these anchors had been erroneously placed *before* the relevant `@node' commands, instead that just after, so that they ended up pointing to the wrong chapters. Fix this. Since we are at it, tweak the wording of the comments to the anchors to better match that used in the autoconf manual. Report and suggestion by Eric Blake.

5f71f2b5 2011-12-28 20:28:29 docs: fix paragraph names for automake and aclocal invocations All the other autotools entitle their invocation nodes "autofoo Invocation", whereas automake used to call its "Invoking Automake" and "Invoking aclocal". So let's try to be more consistent. This change is related to automake bug#8071. Suggestion by Reuben Thomas and Eric Blake. * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake): Node renamed ... (automake Invocation): ... to this. (Invoking aclocal): Node renamed ... (aclocal Invocation): ... to this. Add proper @anchor directives to avoid breaking existing web hyperlinks still using the old names of the renamed nodes.
