|
a36a8f6e | 2012-05-19 15:11:36 | release: remove overly picky check * Makefile.am (git-tag-release): Do not check that the version number NEWS is updated w.r.t. $(VERSION); given the new way we manage NEWS, that would cause gratuitous spurious failures. * HACKING: Update.

7b142a7b | 2012-05-15 16:12:09 | tests: use 'parallel-tests' Automake option by default This will help our transition from 'serial-tests' to 'parallel-tests' as the default test suite driver enabled by a TESTS assignment in the input Makefile.am. Note that that change of default will only take place in master, though. * defs: Pass the 'parallel-tests' option to the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation in the created 'configure.ac' stub, unless the variable 'am_serial_tests' is set to "yes". Don't pay attention anymore to the 'am_parallel_tests' variable, that's obsolete now. * defs-static.in: Warn if the 'am_serial_tests' variable is set in the environment; conversely, don't warn anymore about 'am_parallel_tests' being set in the environment. * Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Nullify the 'am_serial_tests' variable instead of the now-obsolete 'am_parallel_tests' one. * syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_obsolete_variables): Also warn against uses of 'am_parallel_tests', which is now deprecated in favor of 'am_serial_tests'. Similarly, if a use of 'parallel_tests' is seen, suggest using 'am_serial_tests' instead, not 'am_parallel_tests'. * gen-testsuite-part: Now that we use the 'parallel-tests' by default in our tests, we need to completely change the logic and semantics of generation of sibling tests for those tests that check the Automake generated testsuite harness itself. Do that, and give a complete explanation of the new logic and semantics in the relevant comments. * t/README: Update. * Lots of test cases: Adjust.

c1c27cf1 | 2012-05-01 12:43:22 | bootstrap: consistently use correct copyright year Suggested by Peter Johansson in the discussion about automake bug#11356: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11356#41> * boostrap.sh (dosubst): Don't initialize the substituted value for the release year from the current year (using `date +%Y`); instead, do it through ... ($RELEASE_YEAR): ... this new statically-defined variable. To ensure it won't get out-of-sync, it will be automatically updated ... * Makefile.am (update-copyright): ... by this target's recipe.

5f810d0d | 2012-04-28 10:21:31 | fixup: avoid unconditional re-bootstrapping on "make dist" Since our 'bootstrap' script is distributed, the 'distdir' target depends on it. But in our GNUmakefile, we also have a 'bootstrap' target declared .PHONY, which when called re-bootstrap the Automake distribution. Thus, whenever we run "make dist", GNU make sees it must remake the 'bootstrap' target (as it is a dependency of the 'distdir' target), and thus ends up re-bootstrapping all the package (because of the .PHONY 'bootstrap' target in GNUmakefile). We fix this issue by renaming our bootstrap script to 'bootstrap.sh'. * bootstrap: Renamed ... * bootstrap.sh: ... to this. * GNUmakefile (bootstrap): Adjust. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Likewise. (autodiffs): Likewise. * HACKING: Likewise. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> | |

8ea72c74 | 2012-04-27 16:27:08 | build: ensure release year in copyright notice is up-to-date From a suggestion by Eric Blake. See automake bug#11356. This is a follow-up to previous patch 'v1.12-12-gb99b5be'. * configure.ac (RELEASE_YEAR): New AC_SUBST'd variable, should hold the value of the current year. * Makefile.am (update-copyright): Be sure to also update the definition of 'RELEASE_YEAR' in configure.ac. * lib/Automake/Config.in ($RELEASE_YEAR): New exported variable, initialized from the value substituted for '@RELEASE_YEAR@'. (@EXPORT): Add it. * automake.in, aclocal.in: Use '$RELEASE_YEAR' (which will be substituted at make time) instead of hard-coding the release year. This should ensure the copyright range in the version message and in the generated files (Makefile.in and aclocal.m4) are automatically kept up-to-date. * bootstrap (dosubst): Update, also substitute '@RELEASE_YEAR@'.

ab14841a | 2012-04-26 15:05:05 | build: avoid too greedy rebuilds in the testsuite The autogenerated makefile fragment 't/testsuite-part.am' used to depend on the list of *all* the hand-written files. This was technically correct, since that makefile fragment was (and still is) generated by the script 'gen-testsuite-part', which scans all the hand-written files to detect implicit dependencies and to decide for which tests a further wrapper test should be generated. However, the presence of such a dependency implied that, whenever *any* test case was modified (no matter how slightly), the 't/testsuite-part.am' file was rebuilt, and since that is included by our 'Makefile.am', the 'Makefile.in' file was rebuilt as well by automake. In order to do so, automake scanned our 'configure.ac' file, which requires the latest Autoconf version (2.69 at the time of writing), and the casual user can easily lack that on his machine (and that should be allowed, as automake currently supports any autoconf version >= 2.62). The described situation could hinder in-field testing or debugging by users (even experienced ones) that are not automake developers; see for example automake bug#11347. So we drop the explicit dependency of 't/testsuite-part.am' on the hand-written test cases. (As an aside, note that this has already been done in Automake-NG, albeit for other reasons; see the commit 'v1.11b-129-g1690aca' of 2012-04-23, "[ng] build: define $(TESTS) through a wildcard"). This is not a serious regression in the faithfulness of the Automake build systems, since it unfortunately already had several undeclared dependencies; e.g., 'Makefile.in' should depend on the automake script, and 'aclocal.m4' should depend on the aclocal script (but this isn't possible, as it would mean that distributed files depend on ones generated at make time). Similarly, 'Makefile.in' should depend on some of the 'lib/am/*.am' files, but does not. Currently, the workaround to get a faithful and correct rebuild is to run ./bootstrap && ./config.status --recheck && make clean all and the present commit does not change that. * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/t/testsuite-part.am): Don't depend on 't/list-of-tests.mk' nor on '$(handwritten_TESTS)' anymore. ($(generated_TESTS)): Likewise, and don't depend on 'Makefile.am' either. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> | |

da0f9ab4 | 2012-04-12 15:07:19 | build: generate doc/*.1 files; include help2man This change is required to avoid making a distributed file depend on a generated (non-distributed) one. The preceding change introduced one such dependency, with the distributed doc/*.1 depending on the generated aclocal and automake files. Here, we avoid the problem by generating the doc/*.1 files rather than distributing them. * doc/help2man: New file, version 1.37.1. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add doc/help2man. (man1_MANS): Rename from $(dist_man1_MANS). Remove $(srcdir) prefix. (CLEANFILES): Add these files here, rather than to $(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES), since we are no longer distributing them. (update_mans): Use doc/help2man, not $(HELP2MAN). * configure.ac: Don't test for help2man, now that we bundle it. | |

15d4a60b | 2012-04-11 21:25:48 | build: avoid parallel build failures A parallel build would fail when two concurrent sub-make processes tried to build lib/Automake/Config.pm. The loser would complain that grep: lib/Automake/Config.pm-t: No such file or directory chmod: cannot access `lib/Automake/Config.pm-t': No such file or\ directory make[1]: *** [lib/Automake/Config.pm] Error 1 * Makefile.am (update_mans): Don't build lib/Automake/Config.pm here. Instead, depend on it from the two rules that use it: ($(srcdir)/doc/aclocal-$(APIVERSION).1): Depend on it. ($(srcdir)/doc/automake-$(APIVERSION).1): Likewise. [ Note that technically, the above is incorrect, since it makes those distributed doc/*.1 files depend on generated aclocal and automake. That problem is addressed by the following commit. ] However, that was not enough, since even then, a parallel build would still fail, now with this: help2man: can't get `--help' info from automake-1.11a Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr make: *** [doc/automake-1.11a.1] Error 1 a subsequent "make -j3" would create the missing file. That was because help2man would invoke t/wrap/aclocal.in and t/wrap/automake.in, each of which would require aclocal and automake, yet those two files weren't guaranteed to be created. Add explicit dependencies: ($(srcdir)/doc/aclocal-$(APIVERSION).1): Depend on aclocal. ($(srcdir)/doc/automake-$(APIVERSION).1): Depend on automake. | |

f854b6c0 | 2012-04-06 18:08:39 | maint: simplify generation of files with @substed@ stuff Use a proper "config.status --file=-" idiom to do most substitutions in our generated files, to avoid too much duplications between the various $(do_subst) commands in Makefile.am and the (explicit or implicit AC_SUBST) invocation in configure.ac. From a suggestion by Eric Blake and Federico Simoncelli: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-01/msg00011.html> * Makefile.am (do_subst): Rewrite to take advantage of the "config.status --file=-" idiom. (generated_file_finalize): New, to help checking that generated files don't contain unexpanded '@substitutions@', and are made read-only. (automake, aclocal): Take advantage of the improved $(do_subst). Improve comments. (lib/Automake/Config.pm): Likewise, and of the new variable $(generated_file_finalize) as well.

8a5096d1 | 2012-04-06 13:12:25 | tests: rename 'tests/' => 't/', '*.test' => '*.sh' When we (soon) convert the Automake testsuite to a non-recursive make setup, we'll have to fix the entries of $(TESTS) to be prepended with the subdirectory they are in; this will increase the length of $(TESTS), and thus increase the possibility of exceeding the command-line length limits on some systems (most notably, MinGW/MSYS). See automake bug#7868 for more information. Thus we rename the 'tests/' subdirectory to 't/', and each 'x.test' script in there to 'x.sh'; this way, the $(TESTS) entry 'foo.test' will become 't/foo.sh', which have the same number of characters. * tests/: Rename ... * t/: ... to this. * t/*.test: Rename ... * t/*.sh: ... to this. * t/.gitignore: Removed as obsolete. * t/defs: Adjust. * t/gen-testsuite-part: Likewise. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Likewise. * t/ccnoco.sh: Likewise. * t/ccnoco3.sh: Likewise. * t/self-check-cleanup.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-dir.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-me.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-reexec.tap: Likewise. * README: Likewise. * bootstrap: Likewise * configure.ac: Likewise. * Makefile.am: Likewise. * .gitignore: Likewise. * syntax-check.mk: Likewise.

a4b0f4b5 | 2012-04-01 11:48:47 | maint: remove most recursion in automake's own build system Recursive make-based build systems tend to be slower, more fragile and less faithful than "flat" ones. See Peter Miller's article "Recursive Make Considered Harmful" for more a more in-depth discussion: <http://miller.emu.id.au/pmiller/books/rmch/> While in the case of automake this isn't a big problem (given the small size of its build systems), it still creates occasional glitches and annoyances. With this change, the use of recursion in Automake's own build system is eliminated *but for the testsuite*. Converting that is a little more tricky, and better left for a later change (or series of changes). See also commit v1.11-769-gfeeb7f6 of 28-03-2012. * contrib/Makefile.am, lib/Makefile.am, m4/Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am: Removed, their content merged ... * Makefile.am: ... here, with required adjustments and few other "opportunistic" changes.

In fact, Automake syncs its 'config-ml.in' and 'symlink-tree' scripts from GCC; and the GCC repository contains a version of the 'multi.m4' file that is *more* updated than the one in the automake repository (the former having being modified the last time in 2008, the latter only in 2006). The 'multilib' feature was anyway hardly documented at all, only being briefly cited in the manual as an "obscure feature", "still experimental", that was only for users "familiar with multilibs" and which "can debug problems they might encounter". We expect such users to be motivated and knowledgeable enough to make the minor adjustments required to start using the contrib version of multilib, if they really need to. * NEWS (Future backward incompatibility): Update. * doc/automake.texi: Deprecate multilib support. State that it will be removed from automake core in the next major release. * m4/multi.m4 (AM_ENABLE_MULTILIB): Deprecate. If called, now gives a proper warning in the 'obsolete' category (while still retaining its former behaviour for the rest). * tests/multilib.test: Update. * contrib/multilib/multi.m4: New, verbatim copy of the earlier version of multi.m4, without the new deprecation warning. * Makefile.am (fetch): Don't sync the 'config-ml.in' file nor the 'symlink-tree' script from GCC SVN repository anymore. (FETCHFILES): Adjust. (WGET_GCC): Remove, it's not needed anymore. | |

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. | |

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. | |

27f1a1c9 | 2012-01-16 10:05:59 | maintcheck: consistency of list of test scripts This is basically a backport of commit 'v1.11-358-g7b6ab07' and its follow-ups. 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. (clean-maintcheck-testslist-tmp): New rule, to clean up temporary files that might be left around by the rules associated with the previous target. (clean-local): Depend on it. * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am: Include `CheckListOfTests.am'. * tests/Makefile.am: Likewise. * Makefile.am (maintainer-check-list-of-test): New target, calling recursively into `tests/' and `lib/Automake/tests/', using ... (TEST_SUBDIRS): ... this new variable. (maintainer-check): Added dependency from the new target `maintainer-check-list-of-tests'. | |
|
48c9d57f | 2012-01-15 23:45:31 | build: explicitly declare some targets as .PHONY * Makefile.am (fetch, git-dist, git-release, maintainer-check): Declare as ".PHONY". | |
|
3b594a8c | 2012-01-15 23:38:58 | maint: remove obsolete/broken maintainer targets * Makefile.am (git-diff): Remove. First, we don't distribute diffs between an automake version and the next one anyway, so this target is pointless. Moreover, its recipe has been broken for quite a long time now, always generating an empty diff due to the spurious '$(PACKAGE)' argument that was passed to the "git diff" invocation. (path-check): Remove. The 'pathchk' program running in this check complains about any file with name longer than 14 characters, which is a ridiculously low limit for today standards. Also, we already had several test scripts (no less than 195!) that were exceeding that limit, and nobody ever complained (not even on MinGW/MSYS nor Cygwin). | |

8856653e | 2012-01-15 23:08:21 | build: improve silencing of automake build system In this change, we continue the silencing of the automake build system that has been started in commit v1.11-642-g17542c3, but which has been left incomplete there for an (absent-mindness) mistake. * Makefile.am (INSTALL): Silence the recipe.

05c02989 | 2012-01-15 17:14:04 | gnupload: moved to gnulib Since the gnupload script is not required by automake-generated code (be it configure or Makefile content), and is not specifically tied to automake in any way, it is better to have its master copy installed in the gnulib repository, as is already done for similar generally-useful, maintainer-oriented scripts. 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'.

|
a07d169a | 2011-12-31 19:57:21 | maintcheck: be sure to look at all the test cases Many maintainer checks in the top-level Makefile.am did some unwarranted assumptions about the test cases, i.e., they assumed that all the test scripts matched the wildcard `$(srcdir)/*.test'. This failed to properly take into account VPATH builds (where some generated tests might be in ${builddir} rather than in ${srcdir}), TAP-based tests script (which have a `.tap' extension) and helper scripts used by other test cases (which have a `.sh' extension). Fixes automake bug#9299. * Makefile.am (xtests): New variable, containing a (dynamically computed) of files that looks like test cases of the automake testsuite. Update many rules to use this new variable instead of blindly assuming that all the testcases matches the $(srcdir)/tests/*.test wildcard. * tests/tap-bad-prog.tap: Do a minor formatting change to avoid spuriously triggering a match from the syntax check `sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline'. | |

This will avoid duplication (as the ChangeLog entries were always inserted both in the git commit message and in the version-controlled ChangeLog file), and potential problems with spurious merge conflicts (which, although greatly mitigated by Bruno Haible's `git-merge-changelog' helper program, have never been completely solved). * ChangeLog: Moved ... * ChangeLog.11:... to this. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.

f60ca932 | 2011-12-09 18:46:54 | devel: help in comparing Makefile.in from different commits Now that the generated Makefile.in, configure and aclocal.m4 files are no longer committed in Automake's git repository, a simple "git diff" or "git log" no longer shows if and how a change in Automake results in changes to the Makefile.in files and/or configure script of its own build system. Still, the ability to peek so easily at such differences has proved itself quite useful in the past, often revealing inconsistencies and blunders, and sometimes even bugs; so it would be a pity to lose that altogether. With this change, we add a new maintainer recipe that re-introduces much of that capability, by generating and comparing on the fly the Makefile.in, configure and aclocal.m4 derived from two arbitrary commits of the Automake repository. * Makefile.am (autodiffs, compare-autodiffs): New phony targets. | |

Update comments accordingly. Since we are at it, make the relevant grepping rules slightly tighter. | |

24b9022b | 2011-06-02 12:15:52 | maintcheck: fix some failures, extend some checks * Makefile.am (sc_diff_automake_in_automake): Update, as we now expect 9 lines, not 8, to be changed from `automake.in' to `automake'. (sc_diff_aclocal_in_aclocal): New maintainer check, similar to the above, and checking that only 10 lines are changed from `aclocal.in' to `aclocal'. (syntax_check_rules): Update. (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Exempt self tests `self-check-*.test' from this check, as they can legitimately use the bare `exit' builtin in various places. * doc/automake.texi (Python): Remove stray `@' from the end of a line. Typo introduced in commit `v1.11-312-g5bf7af6'. * tests/depcomp8a.test: Pass DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to make from the environment rather than from the command line, to pacify the `sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline' maintainer check. * tests/depcomp8b.test: Likewise. | |

d235db33 | 2011-05-29 10:42:00 | automake, aclocal: honour configure-time AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE Currently, the Automake's own configure script allow definition of AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE, expected to point respectively to an autoconf and autom4te programs. But while these definitions are honoured in the Automake's build systems and test suite, they were *not* honoured in the generated `automake' and `aclocal' scripts. This behaviour, apart from being wrong in that it does not allow the user enough freedom in choosing his tools, also caused inconsistencies in the test suite, brining to spurious failures. Problem reported by Graham Reitz on the automake list; see thread: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-05/msg00022.html> * automake.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOCONF', not simply `autoconf'. * aclocal.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOM4TE', not simply `autom4te'. * Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute also `@am_AUTOCONF' and `@am_AUTOM4TE'. * NEWS: Update. * THANKS: Update. | |

7b6ab074 | 2010-01-30 01:23:44 | maintcheck: consistency of list of test scripts * CheckListOfTests.am: New file. (maintainer-check-list-of-tests): New target, check for consistency between list of tests defined in the including Makefile and list of tests on the filesystem. (clean-maintcheck-testslist-tmp): New rule, to clean up the temporary files that might be left around by the rules associated with the previous target. (clean-local): Depend on it. * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am: Include `CheckListOfTests.am'. (maintainer-check): Added dependency from the new target `maintainer-check-list-of-tests'. * tests/Makefile.am: Likewise. * Makefile.am (maintainer-check-list-of-test): New target, calling recursively into `tests/' and `lib/Automake/tests/', using ... (TEST_SUBDIRS): ... this new variable. | |

e36003d0 | 2011-03-14 12:44:53 | maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine'). See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a. This change add a maintainer check that warns about test names which are possibly problematic in this regard. * Makefile.am (sc_test_names): New maintainer-check target. (syntax_check_rules): Add it. (m4_builtins): New helper variable. (TESTS): Updated according to the following renamings. * tests/include.test: Renamed ... * tests/hdr-vars-defined-once.test: ... to this. * tests/sinclude.test: Renamed ... * tests/m4-inclusion.test: ... to this, and simplified accordingly. * tests/include2.test: Renamed ... * tests/dist-included-parent-dir.test: ... to this, for consistency. | |
