docs: "aclocal --install -I /abs/dir" actually copies files
This change is for automake bug#8407.
In the past, there had been some debate and confusion about
whether "aclocal --install" should copy third-party .m4 files
in the first directory passed to the `-I' option even when
such directory was given as an absolute path, or whether it
was better to do so only for directories specified with a
relative path.
The rationale for this latter behaviour was that, before the
existence of the `ACLOCAL_PATH' variable, the only way (a poor
way, I might add) for a common user to extend the search path
of a system-wide installation of aclocal was to export something
like ACLOCAL="aclocal -I /my/extra/macros" in the environment.
Today, the correct way to proceed is undoubtedly through the
use of ACLOCAL_PATH, so we can settle the question once and for
all, and start verifying the correct behaviour of `-I' with a
new test.
* tests/aclocal-install-absdir.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* doc/automake.texi (aclocal Options): Be more explicit about
this part of `--install' semantics.

docs: fix node names for automake and aclocal invocations
With the older node names, an "info automake" command issued
from the command line would have opened the node about the
invocation of the automake program, rather than the Top node
of the automake documentation. To invoke the Top node, one
had to issue the command "info Automake" instead (note the
different capitalization). This was suboptimal, and certainly
confusing.
With this change, "info automake" will open the Top node of the
automake documentation; to access the nodes about the invocation
of the automake and aclocal program, one has now to issue "info
automake-invocation" and "info aclocal-invocation" respectively.
This change fixes automake bug#8071.
See also commits `v2.61a-22-ge9215d1' and `v2.61a-72-g8c07b48' in
the autoconf git repository, which tackled a similar issue.
* doc/automake.texi (@direntry): Rename nodes `aclocal' and
`automake' to `aclocal-invocation' and `automake-invocation'
respectively.
* NEWS: Update.

regex: deprecate the obsolete macro AM_WITH_REGEX
This is a backport of commit v1.11-433-g37b0aee.
Today, practically nobody uses the GNU rx library, which, according
to its own website <http://www.gnu.org/software/rx/rx.html>, has
been "decommissioned". Consequently, the automake-provided macro
AM_WITH_REGEX is not used nor required anymore. Deprecate it, so
that it will be possible to safely remove it in the next major
automake version.
* m4/regex.m4 (AM_WITH_REGEX): Give a warning of the class
`obsolete' when this macro is used.
* doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Move description of
`AM_WITH_REGEX' from here ...
(Obsolete Macros): ... to here, and declare it as obsolete
and "to be removed in a future version".
* tests/regex-obsolete.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS: Update.

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.

info: allow user to inhibit creation/update of '${infodir}/dir'
With this change, we allow the user to request the install-info
rules not to update the `${infodir}/dir' file, by exporting the
environment variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR' to the value "no".
This is especially useful to distro packagers, and is a definite
improvement over our previous hack of looking whether the
`install-info' program was the Debian or GNU version -- hack
which had been silently broken with recent versions of debian
install-info BTW (probably since dpkg 1.15.4, 2009-09-06).
This change fixes automake bug#9773. See also Debian Bug#543992.
* lib/am/texinfos.am: Don't look anymore at the output of
`install-info --version' to decide whether to use it to update
the `${infodir}/dir' or not; instead, honour the environment
variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR'.
* tests/install-info-dir.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* tests/defs: Also unset `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR', to avoid unwanted
interferences from the environment.
* doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Update.
* NEWS: Likewise.
* THANKS: Likewise.

aclocal: more granularity in acdir overriding
Before this change, using the `--acdir' option caused aclocal to
redefine both the directory of automake-provided m4 macros and the
directory of third-party system-wide m4 macros. With this change,
we deprecate the `--acdir' aclocal option, and introduce two new
options `--automake-acdir' and `--system-acdir', to allow for more
granularity.
* aclocal.in (@automake_includes, @system_includes,
@user_includes): Fix and extend comments.
(usage): Update.
(handle_acdir_option): New function.
(parse_arguments): Recognize new options `--system-acdir' and
`automake-acdir', and handle `--acdir' using the new function
above. Simplify logic by assuming that the directory of
third-party system-wide m4 files always exists.
* tests/aclocal.in: Update to use the new options, instead of
the deprecated. `--acdir'.
* m4/dirlist: Move ...
* m4/acdir/dirlist: ... here.
* m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Update.
(m4datadir): Rename ...
(automake_acdir): ... to this. Accordingly, ...
(dist_m4data_DATA): ... rename this ...
(dist_automake_ac_DATA): ... to this.
(system_acdir): New, directory.
(dist_system_ac_DATA): New, defined to an empty value; this will
ensure that the $(system_acdir) directory will be created by
"make install".
* tests/aclocal.test: Remove check about the `--print-ac-dir'
option of aclocal, it has been moved into ...
* tests/aclocal-print-acdir.test: ... this new test, and quite
extended.
* tests/aclocal-acdir.test: New test.

Revert "docs: parallel-tests is not experimental anymore"
This reverts commit a9eef973b5ea47cc3495f1a8307d4f7b85aea46f.
It turned out that the current work to introduce TAP and SubUnit
support in Automake-generated testsuite harnesses will probably
require the introduction of slight incompatibilities in the
'parallel-tests' behaviour, starting from release 1.12 onward.
So it's advisable to continue to characterize the 'parallel-tests'
support as "experimental" in maintenance release 1.11.2.

the configure script of the subpackage.

$(AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS) to the configure invocation.
Update comments.

docs: parallel-tests is not experimental anymore
The parallel-tests driver has now been used quite extensively
by a fair number of real-world applications (e.g., GNU coreutils,
GNU libtool, GNU grep, and various packages using Gnulib), and
thus exposed to adequate on-field testing. So there's no point
in declaring it experimental anymore (which would risk to make
potential users shy away from it).
* doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Do not
declare the parallel-tests driver as "experimental" anymore.

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)'.
(handle_configure): Do not pass `--silent-rules' to automake.
(scan_autoconf_traces): Trace `AM_SILENT_RULES'. If seen,
enable global `silent-rules' option.
(usage): Do not document `--silent-rules'.
(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. Test `AM_SILENT_RULES' as well
as `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([silent-rules])' instead of
`--silent-rules'.
* tests/silent7.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
`AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; ensure the latter is rejected.
Test combinations of --enable-silent-rules and
--disable-silent-rules with `make V=0' and `make V=1'.
Suggestion for configure-time switch by Bob Friesenhahn.
