(The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private directories. (missing and AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Try to be more agnostic w.r.t. the version control system used.
20abe4e5 2010-09-22 22:04:55 Manual: index refer to target "git-dist", not "cvs-dist". * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Index the non-standard example about "git-dist" under the "git-dist" label, not under the "cvs-dist" one.

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.

2c74a340 2009-04-13 23:17:39 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)'. (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.
