Paul Eggert 3562e384 2017-09-16T13:03:36 Prefer https: URLs In Gnulib, Emacs, etc. we are changing ftp: and http: URLs to use https:, to discourage man-in-the-middle attacks when downloading software. The attached patch propagates these changes upstream to Automake. This patch does not affect files that Automake is downstream of, which I'll patch separately. Althouth the resources are not secret, plain HTTP is vulnerable to malicious routers that tamper with responses from GNU servers, and this sort of thing is all too common when people in some other countries browse US-based websites. See, for example: Aceto G, Botta A, Pescapé A, Awan MF, Ahmad T, Qaisar S. Analyzing internet censorship in Pakistan. RTSI 2016. https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/RTSI.2016.7740626 HTTPS is not a complete solution here, but it can be a significant help. The GNU project regularly serves up code to users, so we should take some care here.

Stefano Lattarini a0db09fe 2013-05-23T20:49:39 Merge branch 'maint' * maint: tests: avoid few lingering $MAKE redirections tests: avoid '$MAKE' redirections, use 'run_make' instead tests: avoid use of redirected 'run_make' invocations lint: warn against redirected 'run_make' invocations comments: next GNU make release 4.0, not 3.83 tests: fix a potential spurious failure due to global config.site HACKING: it's OK to do testsuite refactoring in a micro version Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
Stefano Lattarini 3ce4015f 2013-05-23T12:10:18 tests: avoid '$MAKE' redirections, use 'run_make' instead The use 'run_make' with the -E, -O and -M option, it is more idiomatic now. Also, this way, centralized fixes and improvements done in 'run_make' will automatically propagate through most of the testsuite. * syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_no_run_make_redirect): Also check against '$MAKE' invocations that uses output redirections (and not only against 'run_make' invocation that do so). * Several tests: Adjust (and few minor cosmetic changes as well, while at it).

Stefano Lattarini 0985d673 2013-05-16T13:46:17 Merge branch 'maint' * maint: tests: remove remaining exec bits ('maint' branch) tests: remove exec bit from all of them ('micro' branch) maint: tests no longer need to have executable bit set PLANS: subdir-objects: various updates
Stefano Lattarini 74017b56 2013-05-16T12:18:43 tests: remove exec bit from all of them ('micro' branch) It gives the impression that they are directly runnable, as with "./t/foo.sh", but it has been a while since that was the case. Today, tests are runnable only through "make check" or "./runtest". This change is for the 'micro' branch (automake 1.13.2a). It will soon be followed by similar patches for the 'maint' branch (automake 1.13a) and the 'master' branch (automake 1.99a). * t/*.sh, t/*.tap: Remove executable bit. * maint.mk (sc_tests_executable): Remove. (syntax_check_rules): Adjust. * gen-testsuite-part: Set permissions of generated tests to '444' (-r--r--r--), rather than 555 (-r-xr-xr-x).

Stefano Lattarini 7d989ddd 2012-09-23T01:24:12 ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS: fully deprecate, with warnings in the 'obsolete' category Users are expected to use the AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR{,S} autoconf macros instead. And the use of the '--install' aclocal option in ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS has proved to be a bad idea anyway -- see automake bug#9037. * NEWS: Update. * t/aclocal-amflags.sh: Enhance and adjust. * t/acloca14b.sh: Adjust. * t/acloca22b.sh: Likewise. * t/ax/distcheck-hook-m4.am: Likewise. * t/dist-missing-m4.sh: Likewise. * t/remake-renamed-m4-macro.sh: Likewise. * t/remake-renamed-m4-macro-and-file.sh: Likewise. * t/remake-renamed-m4-file.sh: Likewise. * t/remake-moved-m4-file.sh: Likewise. * t/remake-gnulib-remove-header.sh: Likewise. * t/remake-gnulib-add-acsubst.sh: Likewise. * t/remake-deleted-m4-file.sh: Likewise. * t/remake-deleted-m4-file.sh: Likewise. * t/libtool-macros.sh: Likewise. * t/gettext-macros.sh: Likewise.

Stefano Lattarini 5ddf1007 2012-10-27T16:41:39 tests: prefer including 'test-init.sh' rather than './defs' This is a follow-up to today's commit v1.12.4-22-g0610fc8, "tests: prepare to move ./defs to t/ax/test-init.sh" * All tests: To run the common setup, use the command: . test-init.sh instead of the older, "historical" one: . ./defs || exit 1 Note that the "|| exit 1" wasn't really useful, since the 'errexit' shell flag is in effect in both './defs' and 'test-init.sh', and all the known shells that are good enough to run the automake testsuite do automatically exit with error when a sourced file cannot be found (at least, they do so in non-interactive mode, which is the only mode that concerns us in the testsuite). * t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh, t/ax/testsuite-summary-checks.sh: Likewise. * gen-testsuite-part: Do the same in the generated tests.

Stefano Lattarini cd1a9ccc 2010-10-05T17:14:00 aclocal: deprecate ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS, trace AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR instead Maintaining ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in the Makefile.am to pass extra flags to aclocal is (and have always been) quite of an hack. For example, autoreconf is forced to grep Makefile.am to honour those flags. But this is a bad obsolescent behaviour; in fact, the autotools have moved consistently in the past years from custom grepping of Makefile.am and configure.ac to tracing of m4 macro calls, which is more consistent, more reliable and more flexible. And when autoreconf is not used, the developer is forced to add *by hand* the flags specified by ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to the aclocal calls not triggered by make rebuild rules; here lie again more duplication and more chances for errors. Moreover, ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS has only two typical use cases: - to instruct aclocal to look for extra macro definition in a local directory (as with "ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4"); and - to further instruct aclocal to copy in that local directory the required third-party .m4 files found in the system-wide directory (as with "ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 --install"). The first use case can be better covered if aclocal can instead trace and honours call to the AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR autoconf macro; and the second use case shouldn't be considered really legitimate, as it is quite (and subtly) brittle (see automake bug#9037). Thus we now make aclocal trace AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR macro, and act accordingly. For backward compatibility, we continue to support the ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS special variable (although removing any mention of it from the documentation). Future Automake releases will likely start to warn about the use of that variable, and eventually remove support for it altogether. From a suggestion by Eric Blake. This is a much simplified (and IMHO saner) version of the patch series discussed in the threads: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-10/msg00045.html> <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-12/msg00156.html> * aclocal.in ($ac_config_macro_dir): New global variable. (trace_used_macros): Also trace the macro 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR', and set the '$ac_config_macro_dir' variable accordingly. (parse_arguments): Code for diagnosis of '--install' used without any user-specified include directory moved ... (while (1)): .. into the main loop. Which now also updates the list of user-specified include directories to include the directory given as argument to the call (if any) of 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR'. * lib/am/configure.am: Update comments. * NEWS: Updated. * doc/automake.texi: Likewise. Also, stop advising the use of the '--install' in ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS (see automake bug#9037 for a rationale), and remove any reference to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS (which is now considered obsolescent). * t/aclocal-path-install.sh: Adjust grepping check in the aclocal error messages. * t/subpkg.sh: Updated: add 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR' call to configure.ac, remove setting of 'ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS' in Makefile.am and use of aclocal command line arguments. * t/subpkg2.sh: Likewise. * t/subdir8.sh: Likewise. * t/remake10c.sh: Likewise. * t/remake8a.sh: Likewise. * t/remake8b.sh: Likewise. * t/aclocal4.sh: Likewise. * t/aclocal6.sh: Likewise. * t/acloca14.sh: Likewise. * t/acloca22.sh: Likewise. * t/aclocal5.sh: Likewise, and do not not invade the Automake namespace (this avoids spurious failures). * t/acloca14b.sh: New test, identical to the previous version of 'acloca14.test'; it is kept to verify backwards compatibility with the use of ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS. * t/acloca22b.sh: Likewise (but for 'acloca22.test'). * t/aclocal-amflags.sh: New test, check for backwards compatibility that ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS still works. * t/remake-macrodir.sh: New test, checking that aclocal's honoring of AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR interacts nicely with automatic rebuild rules. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add the new tests.
