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.

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.

PATH: quote $(PATH_SEPARATOR) as well Improve detection of GNU make, avoiding "Arg list too long" errors.
5401c31d 2014-11-07 23:41:28 PATH: quote $(PATH_SEPARATOR) as well On OS/2, $(PATH_SEPARATOR) is ';'.

a6d6734f 2013-12-24 16:27:28 TAP driver: remove perl implementation (move it into contrib/) That implementation was only meant as a standard against which the portable awk+shell implementation was to be measured. Now, since Automake 1.12, the latter implementation is fully functional and already used in the wild, and in fact feature-par with the perl implementation. So the perl implementation is now just slowing down and complicating our testsuite. Let's move it to 'contrib/' (we don't want to remove it, in case someone is actually using it in the wild). * lib/tap-driver.pl: Move it ... * contrib/tap-driver.pl: ... here. While at it, convert quoting `like this' to quoting 'like this', and remove an obsolescent FIXME comment. * lib/Makefile.inc (dist_script_DATA): Drop '%D%/tap-driver.pl'. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add 'contrib/tap-driver.pl'. * doc/automake.texi: Remove one stray reference to 'tap-driver.pl', and reference 'tap-driver.sh' instead, as intended. * t/ax/am-test-lib.sh ($am_tap_implementation): Delete definition and uses. (fetch_tap_driver): Simplify to unconditionally assume the shell+awk implementation of the TAP driver is used. (get_shell_script): Make more flexible so that it can cater to the needs of 'fetch_tap_driver()'. * t/tap-bad-prog.tap: Likewise. * t/tap-bailout-leading-space.sh: Likewise. * t/tap-signal.tap: Likewise. * t/tap-test-number-0.sh: Likewise. * t/test-driver-cond.sh: Use 'tap-driver.sh' instead of 'tap-driver.pl'. * gen-testsuite-part (%test_generators): Do not generate sister tests that use the perl TAP driver rather than the shell+awk one. * NEWS: Update.

f859f346 2013-05-24 00:44:59 tests: new convenience target 'check-parallel' To force the test scripts to invoke make in parallel mode. This should enhance coverage of use cases (make concurrency) that are becoming more and more important with today multicore fast machines. * Makefile.am (check-parallel): New .PHONY target. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
361430c0 2013-05-16 14:18:55 tests: use perl, not find+rm, to remove temporary directories The File::Path::rmtree function from perl, if used right, is more reliable and more portable of our past idiom: find $dirs -type d ! -perm -700 -exec chmod u+rwx {} ';'; rm -rf $$dirs || exit 1 at least of the face of unreadable dirs/files and other similar permission issues (and we have those in our test directories). In fact, this change fixes some spurious failures seen in "make distcheck" on Solaris 10. * t/ax/deltree.pl: New. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it. (clean-local-check): Use it. * t/ax/test-lib.sh (rm_rf_): Use it. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

c8f106c7 2013-05-09 11:17:47 build: break up monolithic Makefile.am in subdir-specific fragments This is convenient to do, now that we have improved "relative directory" support with the '%reladir%' (a.k.a. '%D%') and '%canon_reladir%' (a.k.a. '%C%') Automake-time substitutions for included makefile fragments. This move also satisfy our philosophy of using new Automake features in our own build system, as a way of facilitating early discovery of possible bugs or interface warts. * Makefile.am: Break up ... * doc/Makefile.inc, lib/Automake/Makefile.inc, lib/Makefile.inc, lib/am/Makefile.inc, m4/Makefile.inc, t/Makefile.inc): ... in this new included fragments.

283ded7f 2013-02-04 23:04:18 build: auto-generate perl subroutines prototypes for automake and aclocal This will allow us to avoid either using the '&foo' invocation form when invoking a subroutine before its definition, or having to maintain the list of prototypes by hand (with the risk of having it become incomplete or fall out-of-sync when future edits to the automake and aclocal scripts are done). * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Automatically generate a list of prototypes by looking at the subroutines definitions. * bootstrap.sh: Likewise, when generating the temporary automake and aclocal scripts used for bootstrapping. * automake.in: Add a placeholder that will be tracked by the new recipes and substituted with the computed prototypes.

5fdf7587 2013-01-03 12:03:37 plans: add the "PLANS" directory Individual files or sub-directories about future and on-going development plans in Automake will be added in follow-up commits. This new set of documents is meant to help ensure a more controlled and smooth development and evolution for Automake, in several ways. - Having the plans clearly spelled out should will avoid messy roadmaps with no clear way forward or with muddy or ill-defined aims or purposes; a trap this is too easy to fall into. - Keeping planned changes cooking and re-hashed for a while should ensure rough edges are smoothed up, transitions are planned in a proper way (hopefully avoiding debacles like the AM_MKDIR_PROG_P deprecation and the AM_CONFIG_HEADER too-abrupt removal), and "power users" have more chances of getting informed in due time, thus having all the time to prepare for the changes or raise objections against them. - Having the plans clearly stated and registered in a "centralized" location should make it more difficult to them to slip through the cracks, getting forgotten or (worse) only half-implemented. - Even for discussions and plans registered on the Bug Tracker as well, a corresponding entry in the PLANS directory can help in keeping main ideas summarized, and consensus and/or objections registered and easily compared. Motivation: <http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2013/01/autotools-mythbuster-automake-pains> Not a flatting picture for us (and maybe a little too harsh), but basically true and even spot-on in some regards. * PLANS/README: New. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute the whole PLANS directory.

8e921bf8 2012-12-30 10:33:23 obsolete: better error message if AM_CONFIG_HEADER is used In Automake 1.13, the long-deprecated macro AM_CONFIG_HEADER (deprecated since 2002) has been removed in favour of AC_CONFIG_HEADERS. However, the removal was done without a proper deprecation period, and that caused packages upgrading to Automake 1.13 to fail with very unclear error messages, e.g.: configure.ac:4: warning: macro 'AM_CONFIG_HEADER' not found in library from aclocal, and: configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. from autoconf. In an attempt to mitigate this issue, we re-add an AM_CONFIG_HEADER definition that simply raises a *clear* error message when the macro is used.

7626e632 2012-05-25 17:51:01 cleanup: get rid of 'Automake::Configure_ac' module Now that we unconditionally assume the Autoconf input is named "configure.ac", it's easier and clearer to inline the checks on the existence of such a file directly in the automake and aclocal scripts. This change is basically a backport of the 'v1.12-327-gee6d72a' commit from Automake-NG. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Configure_ac): Drop this import. ($configure_ac): Define to "configure.ac", unconditionally. * automake.in: Likewise.

Recipes with a trailing backslash character (possibly followed by blank characters only) can cause spurious syntax errors with at least older bash versions (e.g., bash 2.05b), and can be potentially be unportable to other weaker shells.

Support for the obsolescent 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' m4 macro has been deprecated in the documentation and with runtime warnings since Automake 1.12.1. Still, when we released Automake 1.13, we had to delay that macro's removal, since at the time the last released version of GNU gettext still AC_REQUIRE's AM_PROG_MKDIR_P via its 'intl.m4' and 'po.m4' files, which are pulled into *many* projects. But it's now time to remove AM_PROG_MKDIR_P once and for all. Projects still needing to work with older gettext releases will be able to do so by adding a definition like AC_DEFUN([AM_PROG_MKDIR_P], [AC_PROG_MKDIR_P([$@])]) to their 'acinclude.m4' file or to another local '*.m4' file. * m4/mkdirp.m4: Delete. * Makefile.am (dist_automake_ac_DATA): Remove it. * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Don't handle, nor warn about, AM_PROG_MKDIR_P. * doc/automake.texi (Obsolete Macros): Delete (it only spoke about AM_PROG_MKDIR_P). * t/gettext-macros.sh: Adjust. * t/mkdirp-deprecation.sh: Delete. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Don't list it.

db188c29 2012-07-26 11:04:31 runtest: sanitize test environment * runtest.in: Here, similarly to what is done by AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT in Makefile.am, unset variables that should be under the complete control of the test framework, and that could create havoc if inherited from the environment. This remove the need to check against possible environment "pollution" ... * t/ax/test-defs.in: ... in here. * Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add a comment about the need of synchronization with 'runtest.in'. * t/self-check-env-sanitize.tap: Remove as obsolete. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Adjust.

e82c9156 2012-07-26 10:35:09 tests: "am_using_tap=yes" -> "am_test_protocol=tap" And similarly, "am_using_tap=no" -> "am_test_protocol=none". The new '$am_test_protocol' name is clearer, and will allow the easy addition of further test protocols in the future. This is not truly relevant for automake, but we are trying to make some parts of our testsuite framework as general as possible, in view of a future move to a more generic project like Gnulib. * Makefile.am, t/ax/am-test-lib.sh, t/ax/test-defs.in, t/ax/test-lib.sh, t/self-check-env-sanitize.tap, t/self-check-tap.sh: Adjust. * syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_obsolete_variables): Add 'am_using_tap' to the list of obsolete variables to check against.

d8b3c5e4 2012-07-26 12:21:40 tests: protect test libs against multiple inclusion * t/ax/test-lib.sh, t/ax/am-test-lib.sh: Return early if already sourced. Use the witness variables '$test_lib_sourced' and '$am_test_lib_sourced', respectively, for this purpose. * runtest.in, Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset 'test_lib_sourced' and 'am_test_lib_sourced', to avoid interferences from the environment.

55fb7140 2012-07-25 22:49:02 tests: split test libs into "generic" and "automake-specific" This is the first step in the quest to merge the generically useful parts of our test suite framework in a more generic project, like Gnulib. Time will tell if we'll succeed, and whether the success will be worth the extra hassle. * t/ax/test-init.sh: Split out ... * t/ax/am-test-lib.sh, t/ax/test-lib.sh: ... into these two tests. * defs, Makefile.am: Adjust.

3bb5a901 2012-07-25 21:04:30 test setup: merge definitions of function for simple tests * t/ax/plain-functions.sh: Delete, moving the definitions of ... ($stderr_fileno_): ... this variable ... (warn_, fail_, skip_, skip_all_, fatal_, framework_failure_): ... and these functions ... * t/ax/test-init.sh: ... in here. This allow us to use those functions earlier in this file (instead of having to duplicate their behaviour with inlined code). The TAP-based tests are still able to override these functions later to their TAP-enhanced equivalents when 'tap-functions.sh' is sourced. * Makefile.am (dist_noinst_DATA): Remove 't/ax/plain-functions.sh'. * t/ax/tap-functions.sh: Adjust a comment.

ecbceb3e 2012-07-25 18:14:23 test defs: move in 't/ax/test-defs.sh' We can do so with minimal churn, now that the early setup of $PATH in both 'runtest' and AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT allow the '.' built-in to find to-be-sourced shell scripts in 't/ax' automatically, both in in-tree and VPATH builds. With this change, we take another step forward a more rational and "segregated" organization of our testsuite framework. * defs-static.in: Rename ... * t/ax/test-defs.in: ... like this, and adjust. * Makefile.am, syntax-checks.mk, t/README, gen-testsuite-part, t/tests-init.sh, t/ax/tap-setup.sh, t/tap-summary.sh, .gitignore, t/testsuite-summary-color.sh, t/testsuite-summary-count.sh, t/self-check-tap.sh, defs: Adjust.

69f0f0a1 2012-07-25 23:06:06 tests: update PATH early from AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT and runtest Because the POSIX standards mandate that sourcing a file with ". FILE" will cause FILE (assuming it is a relative containing no slashes) to be looked for in PATH, such a move will allow us to simplify our sourcing of shell testing libraries like (currently) 't/ax/test-init.sh' and 'defs', and to modularize and re-organize them better in the feature, with minimal churn. * runtest.in, Makefile.am (AM_TEST_ENVIRONMENT): Prepend $(abs_srcdir)/t/ax and $(abs_builddir)/t/ax (in that order) to PATH; do so avoiding repetition in the common case of non-VPATH builds.

2dde586a 2012-07-25 16:31:17 build: auxiliary testsuite files/scripts built by "make all" This will allow the developers to run a tests case by hand out of a newly extracted tarball simply doing: $ ./configure && make $ ./runtest t/the-test-case.sh while before this change one has to resort to: $ ./configure && make && make check TESTS= $ ./runtest t/the-test-case.sh or, with some non-GNU makes, even: $ ./configure && make && make check TESTS= AM_MAKEFLAGS="TESTS=" $ ./runtest t/the-test-case.sh This come very handy sometimes, especially when doing one-shot debugging. Admittedly not a big deal, but one less friction in the build system is always nice. * Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS, dist_check_DATA, nodist_check_DATA): Move their content to ... (noinst_SCRIPTS, dist_noinst_DATA, nodist_noinst_DATA): ... these variables. Adjust comments. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
42d9439d 2012-07-25 19:06:22 perf tests: reorganize * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Don't list ($perf_TESTS) in here anymore. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add them explicitly. (perf): New target, run the performance tests and save the logs of the ones with unexpected results in the file 't/perf/test-suite.log', which is thus ... (PERF_TEST_SUITE_LOG): ... defined in this variable ... (CLEANFILES): ... and added to this. (test_subdirs): Remove 't/perf': the tests in there are no more listed in $(TESTS). * t/ax/test-init.sh: Don't explicitly skip "perf" test here.

226be35f 2012-07-14 21:52:43 elisp: use suffix rules, get rid of 'elisp-comp' script (mostly a rewrite) Motivated by automake bug#11806. Traditionally, automake byte-compiled emacs-lisp '.el' files by invoking 'elisp-comp' on all of them in a bulk; this involved complex timestamping and file-locking logic. It was also brittle in any slightly-unusual setup, because 'elisp-comp' operated by copying all of the elisp files to be compiled into a temporary sub-directory and compiling them in there, the copying the resulting byte-compile files back in the build directory. This patch removes all of that juggling and chicanery in favour of defining a much simpler '.el.elc' suffix rule. Not only this is simpler, but it also interacts better with "make -jN" calls, which are becoming more and more common and useful on today's increasingly multicore systems. * Makefile.am (dist_script_DATA): Remove 'elisp-comp'. * automake.in (@common_files): Likewise. (handle_emacs_lisp): Do not require 'elisp-comp'. * doc/automake.texi: Remove references to 'elisp-comp'. * lib/am/lisp.am: Define elisp compilation via a suffix rule; this basically amounts to a complete re-write of the lisp byte-compilation rules. * lib/elisp-comp: Remove. * t/add-missing.tap: Remove elisp-comp test. * t/dist-auxdir-many-subdirs.sh: Remove reference to elisp-comp. * t/primary-prefix-invalid-couples.tap: Likewise. * t/primary-prefix-valid-couples.sh: Likewise. * t/lisp4.sh: Remove reference to elc-stamp. * t/lisp5.sh: Likewise. * t/lisp6.sh: Likewise. * t/lisp3.sh: Likewise. Also remove the recompilation check that involves a (message) call. * t/lisp7.sh: Remove check for "Warnings can be ignored". Remove reference to elc-stamp. * t/lisp8.sh: Likewise. * t/lispdry.sh: Remove references to elc-stamp.
