947ce0ed | 2012-02-07 11:12:59 | dryrun: fix regression with '$(am__make_dryrun)' In commit v1.11-683-gda0964e of 05-02-2012, we introduced a new variable '$(am__make_dryrun)' that could be used in recipes to determine whether make is running in dry mode (e.g., as with "make -n"). Unfortunately, the idiom we used fails to take into account the case in which $(MAKEFLAGS) contains one or more variable definitions whose value is a whitespace-separated list; for example, if we invoke make as: make check TESTS="n1.test n2.test" then the better make implementations out there (at least modern GNU make and BSD make) will export MAKEFLAGS to the following value: TESTS=n1.test\ n2.test So a shell loop like the one we used in $(am__make_dryrun): for flag in $$MAKEFLAGS; do ... won't behave as expected: the shell word-splitting rules will break up the entry for TESTS into the two distinct entries "TESTS=n1.test\" and "n2.test", and this second entry will goad our $(am__make_dryrun) code into thinking that make is performing a dry run! So now we simply loop over the expanded value of $(MAKEFLAGS). This solves the regression, but alas, is more brittle in case the users passes on the command line a macro value containing unbalanced " or ' quotes, or shell metacharacters like, say, '`' or '('. This should almost never happen though, so we don't worry about it now; we will revisit the issue only when and if we receive bug reports in this area. * lib/am/header-vars.am (am__make_dryrun): Fix. * tests/make-dryrun.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. | |

|
d029740b | 2012-02-05 21:22:01 | parallel-tests: more uses for '$(am__make_dryrun)' With this change we refactor some recipes of the parallel-tests harness to make them use, where appropriate, the new internal variable '$(am__make_dryrun)' (introduced in the 'maint' branch) when they need to determine whether make is running in "dry mode", i.e., with "make -n". This allows for some simplifications and for improved uniformity. * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS recheck): Use $(am__make_dryrun) and simplify accordingly. (am--redo-logs): Delete this internal helper recipe, merged into ... ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): ... this, with the help of $(am__make_dryrun). recipe accordingly. | |

d2d18dca | 2012-02-05 18:37:45 | Merge branch 'maint' * maint: refactor: new variable telling whether make is running in "dry mode" tests: do not clobber the modified CC | |
|
da0964eb | 2012-01-23 21:02:05 | refactor: new variable telling whether make is running in "dry mode" We define a new variable '$(am__make_dryrun)', that can be used in recipes to determine whether make is running in "dry mode" (as with "make -n") or not. This is useful in rules that invoke make recursively, and are thus executed also with "make -n" -- either because they are declared as dependencies to '.MAKE' (NetBSD make) or because their recipes contain the "$(MAKE)" string (GNU and Solaris make). * lib/am/header-vars.am (am__make_dryrun): New variable. * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS recheck): Use it, and simplify recipe accordingly. * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Likewise. * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Likewise. | |

6b819187 | 2012-02-02 20:14:30 | cosmetics: fix indentation and typos in perl TAP driver * lib/tap-driver.pl (get_test_exit_message): Fix botched indentation. Fix typo in error message: s/ststus/status/. | |
|
2077a044 | 2012-02-02 14:51:59 | tap/perl: handle missing or non-executable scripts better This change improves how our Perl-based TAP driver handles non-runnable test scripts (meaning they might be not executable, or not readable, or even not exist). In particular, it makes the driver deterministically display a clear "ERROR" result instead of possibly dying with diagnostic from 'TAP::Parser' internals, and prevents it from displaying spurious "missing TAP plan" errors. Moreover, with this change, some testsuite failures present only with newer perl versions (e.g., 5.14) are fixed. See automake bug#10418. * tests/tap-bad-prog.tap: When testing the perl implementation of the TAP driver, and when the perl interpreter offers a good-enough 'IPC::Open3::open3' function, expect it not to display spurious "missing TAP plan" diagnostic if the error is actually due to a non-runnable test script. * lib/tap-driver.pl (start): Removed, broken up into ... (setup_io): ... this ... (setup_parser): ... and this, which now tries to catch and report errors in launching the test scripts. (finish): New, used by both 'main' and 'setup_parser'. (main): Adjust. | |

c3e4962a | 2012-01-31 12:52:24 | cleanup: remove unused .am file * lib/am/comp-vars.am: Remove. This file has stopped being useful since commit 'Release-1-4d-206-g3334f9a' of 09-04-2001, and should have been removed back then. But apparently only its contents were removed, leaving the file empty but still present in the repository. Or maybe this situation is the consequence of a minor blunder in the conversion from CVS to Git; either way, this is not a big deal. | |

See also: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2012-01/msg00109.html> * NEWS: Update. * automake.in ($seen_multilib): Remove. (scan_autoconf_traces): Don't trace 'AM_ENABLE_MULTILIB', and don't handle it anymore. (handle_multilib): Remove. (generate_makefile): Don't call it anymore. * doc/automake.texi: Remove documentation about multilib support, related macros, and helper files. * m4/multi.m4: Delete. * m4/Makefile.am (dist_automake_ac_DATA): Remove it. * lib/am/multilib.am: Delete. * lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Remove it. * contrib/multilib/multilib.am: New file, adapted from extracts of a Makefile.in generated with automake multilib support. We did this instead of moving and editing 'lib/am/multilib.am' because it allows us to license this file with a liberal license that will permit users to copy-and-paste it in non-GPLed Makefile.am files too). * lib/symlink-tree, lib/config-ml.in: Move ... * contrib/multilib: ... in here. * lib/Makefile.am (dist_script_DATA, dist_pkgvdata_DATA): Update. * contrib/multilib/README: New file. * contrib/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add the files created or moved in 'contrib/multlib'. * tests/multilib.test: Update and enhance a little. * tests/help-multilib.test: Likewise. | |

|
84fbf466 | 2012-01-20 20:52:02 | fixlet: flags for Fortran77 compiler are in FFLAGS, not F77FLAGS This change fixes automake bug#10555. Note that the bug was a minor one, since it didn't affect the compilation rules generated by automake, but only only the "hints" printed by automake in some error messages (e.g., "The usual way to define `FFLAGS' is to add AC_PROG_F77 to configure.ac"). * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): The code generated by AC_PROG_F77 uses FFLAGS, not F77FLAGS, as the variable where to look for switches for the Fortran 77 compiler: adjust accordingly. | |

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. | |

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. | |
|
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. | |

(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. | |

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.

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'.

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. | |

96fef7a3 | 2012-01-06 23:37:09 | dist: distdir not unconditionally removed anymore for xz and lzip This change fixes automake bug#10444 a.k.a. bug#10448. 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)'.

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.

|
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.

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. | |

At this point, just running GNU tar without further comments might be confusing. | |

b2b375c3 | 2011-10-30 09:57:50 | missing: miscellaneous fixlets * lib/missing: Some shells, such as Solaris or FreeBSD /bin/sh, warn about missing programs before performing redirections. Therefore, where we have to silently check whether a program exists, perform redirections on a subshell. Remove redundant uses of double-quotes in variable definitions. Delete an extra blank line. | |

c8e01d58 | 2011-12-09 23:17:18 | dist-xz, dist-bzip2: don't hard-code -9, honor envvar settings Before the present change, automake-generated `dist-xz' rule used a hard-coded `xz -9'. That was a problem because on this front, xz differs from gzip and bzip2. While the latter two don't incur any run-time decompression penalty for using a higher compression level, specifying -9 with xz imposes a potentially fatal virtual memory requirement on any client that wants to decompress your tar.xz file. People have complained that a tarball compressed with -9 cannot be uncompressed in a low-memory environment (wrt-based embedded). Hence, instead of defaulting to -9, which is useful only for very large tarballs, it defaults to -e (equivalent to -6e). This limits the default memory requirements imposed on decompressors, yet still gives very good compression ratios. * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz): Do not hard-code xz's -9: that made it impossible to override. Actually don't default to -9, either, since that induced inordinately large virtual memory usage when merely decompressing. Instead, use its XZ_OPT envvar, defaulting to -e if not defined. Suggested by Lasse Collin. (dist, dist-all) [?XZ?]: Likewise (dist-bzip2): Similarly, do not hard-code -9, but do continue to use -9 by default. Honor the BZIP2 envvar. (dist, dist-all) [?BZIP2?]: Likewise * NEWS: Update. * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions): Describe the newly enabled environment variables. This is inspired to commit v1.11-389-g6da46f3, with additional changes to reflect that the xz compression level should default to -e, not -9. | |
