Ralf Wildenhues fcf2f560 2009-05-17T15:32:40 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.

Ralf Wildenhues 5ad5fdf4 2009-05-17T14:12:24 Update release statistics, improve release-stats rule. * 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.

Ralf Wildenhues 0e411a04 2009-05-17T12:03:47 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. Signed-off-by: Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

Jürg Billeter b629ff7b 2009-05-17T10:14:13 Vala: Fix build when using per-target VALAFLAGS. This does not yet implement full per-target support for VALAFLAGS, however, this change at least fixes building when there is only one target per source file, which is the most common situation. * automake.in: Remove `VALAFLAGS' from `flags' in language struct. (lang_vala_finish_target): Handle `*_VALAFLAGS rewriting' manually here; check `VALAFLAGS' user variables. * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove vala5.test. * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): Document per-target flag limitations.

Ralf Wildenhues 2c74a340 2009-04-13T23:17:39 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)'.

(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'. * tests/silent2.test: Likewise. * tests/silent3.test: Likewise. * tests/silent4.test: Likewise. * tests/silent5.test: Likewise. * tests/silent6.test: Likewise.

Ralf Wildenhues 0fb020fa 2008-12-21T22:38:37 Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution. Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page containing an error message, and exit 1. This does not play well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page as being up to date, and will only error out on the next generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done. This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case, but `make dist' will ensure that no such man pages are packaged. * lib/missing: Exit successfully even if we create a replacement page due to missing help2man. * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Define %HAVE-MANS% to be true if this makefile deals with man pages. * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): If %INSTALL-MAN% and %HAVE-MANS%, check that no man page in $(MANS) contains the replacement text from `missing'. * tests/man4.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am: Update. * NEWS: Reorder a bit, update. * THANKS: Update.

Ralf Wildenhues 2139f25b 2008-03-08T13:58:18 Exploit `install' with multiple files at once for some file types. With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once, to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits. This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there, the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be a problem, it should be revisited. * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists files keyed by their target directory. * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets. (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases. Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees, and avoid creating directories where no files are to be installed. * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise. (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise. * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise. (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise. Also take care to keep note of a list for byte compilation after installation. * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am) (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists to install multiple files at once. * NEWS: Update.
