	45ffbe9f	2012-03-18 22:19:45		install-mans: avoid spurious failure with NetBSD make * lib/am/mans.am: After the changes introduced by previous commit v1.11-759-g368f1c4, some manpage installation recipes started to fail spuriously on NetBSD 5.1 make. Apparently, the system make there eats backslashes used to escape whitespace characters in the relevant recipes. Revert to slightly slower but safer idioms that avoid the need of such escaping.

	368f1c4c	2012-03-16 23:48:53		install: don't create empty dirs when an empty 'foo_PRIMARY' is used Fixes automake bug#11030 and bug#10997. An empty declaration of "foo_PRIMARY" in a Makefile.am used to cause the generated install rules to create the directory $(foodir) anyway, even if nothing was to be installed there. While this could be seen as a convenient way to create a $(foodir) directory upon "make install" (respecting $(DESTDIR) settings and such), it also caused problems with conditionals; for example, an input of: if FALSE pgkdata_DATA = something endif caused the generated install rules to unconditionally create the $(pkgdatadir) directory (see automake bug#10997). Also, a user wanting to create an empty directory upon installation can easily do so with a custom install hook, as in: installdirs-local: $(MKDIR_P) $(DESTDIR)$(foodir) install-data-hook: installdirs-local On the other hand, the old behavior of "always create $(foodir), even if 'foo_PRIMARY' is empty" was harder and more tricky to override. Thus, from now on, an empty declaration of "foo_PRIMARY" will not cause the directory $(foodir) to be created upon "make install" anymore. * lib/am/data.am, lib/am/java.am, lib/am/libs.am, lib/am/lisp.am, lib/am/ltlib.am, lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am, lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Adjust install rules to avoid creating an installation directory if no files are actually to be installed there. * tests/instdir-empty.test: Remove, it was testing a semantic opposite to the one we now want and implement. * tests/instdir-no-empty.test: New test, check the new semantic. * tests/instdir-cond.test: Enhance.

	3a814608	2012-03-07 21:08:06		Merge branch 'msvc' into maint This merge remedies the confusing situation that some changes destined for both the master branch and the release branch (a.k.a. branch-1.11) currently needs to be made on the non-obvious msvc branch and not on the more natural maint branch. This has caused a seemingly endless string of less than optimal commits. The reason for the confusion stems from the fact that the changes made on the msvc branch became too radical and was considered only suitable for the master branch, and was thus written in a form suitable for master and then merged there. Later, the msvc branch was merged directly into branch-1.11, in order to rush the new features to the market and to keep the released scripts (lib/ar-lib, lib/compile and lib/depcomp) consistent with those on the master branch. However, some changes had to be made to the features added by the msvc branch in order for them to fit the requirements of branch-1.11, notably that the warnings issued in the extra-portability class cannot be enabled by -Wall in the 1.11.x maintenance releases. In retrospect, it would have been better to not merge msvc directly into branch-1.11, but instead do it via the maint branch (followed up with a dummy merge from maint into master) the moment it was decided that the msvc changes should make it into branch-1.11. All in all, this merge is going to affect neither the master branch nor branch-1.11, since it is followed up with dummy merges masking all changes. The merge is made to maintain the sanity of the poor developers, who wishes to once again have a working maint branch. Discussion about merging the msvc branch into branch-1.11: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-10/msg00030.html Discussion about why this merge hasn't happened before: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-12/msg00051.html Extra edits below. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Use the version from branch-1.11. * tests/ar-lib3.test: Likewise. * tests/ar-lib4.test: Likewise. * tests/extra-portability.test: Likewise. * tests/extra-portability2.test: Likewise. * tests/extradep.test: Likewise. * tests/extradep2.test: Likewise. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Likewise. * HACKING: Backport the version from branch-1.11 while at it (as the change on branch-1.11 is also present on master via an unrelated commit), even though this change has nothing to do with the changes on the msvc branch.

Today, 'test -x' should today be portable to any non-museum system. Since we are at it, improve diagnostic in case of failure.

	deb77738	2012-02-20 18:33:50		automake: new option 'serial-tests' Currently, automake offers a 'parallel-tests' option to enable the use of the parallel testsuite harness in the generated Makefiles, but no option to explicitly state the intention of using the older serial testsuite driver (which is currently the default). This makes the parallel test harness seems like a second-class citizen (while actually it should be the other way around); more importantly, it will prevent us from making the parallel harness be the default one in future automake versions, since the users of the serial harness would then have no way to instruct automake to continue using it. We solve all of this by introducing a new 'serial-tests' option. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Recognize the new option, and related minor refactoring. * tests/serial-tests.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * doc/automake.texi: Update. * NEWS: Likewise.
	e1606b32	2012-02-18 13:59:26		parallel-tests: fix another BSD parallel make issue When BSD make is run in parallel mode, it apparently strips any leading directory component from the automatic variable '$*' (of course, against what POSIX mandates). This was causing FreeBSD 9.0 make and NetBSD 5.1 make to spuriously fail with automake-generated test harnesses if subdir tests were present *and* make was being run in parallel mode. This issue affected also the Automake own testsuite. * lib/am/check2.am (am__set_b): New internal variable.

	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.

	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.

	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 ...

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'.

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)'.

	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.

	254227b6	2012-01-05 13:41:13		parallel-tests: avoid trailing backslashes in make recipes The new testsuite-harness could generate recipes with a trailing backslash character (possibly followed by blank characters only), in the very common case where the user hadn't defined the special $(AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT) variable. This caused spurious syntax errors with at least older bash versions (e.g., bash 2.05b), and could be potentially unportable to other weaker shells. See automake bug#10436: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10436> and coreutils bug#10427: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10427#8> * lib/am/check2.am: Rework line breaks so that no backslash can be at the end of a line. * tests/parallel-tests-trailing-bslash.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.

So rework the logic of the recipe to avoid any sed invocation, relying on simpler shell idioms instead. (check-TESTS): Reorganize the recipe to be more similar to the one of `recheck', for consistency and simplicity. * NEWS: Update. Report and analysis by Paul Eggert.

The feature implemented by that change is quite unobtrusive, so adding it to a maintenance release is acceptable. Also, there have been requests from real-world users for this feature since it has been implemented in master; see automake bug#9320: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9320> and this short discussion on the automake list: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2010-11/msg00099.html> It would be a pity to make such users wait even more (until Automake 1.12 is out) before they could start using this feature. Thus we backport it, so that it will appear in the next maintenance version of automake (1.11.3). * automake.in (handle_programs, handle_libraries) (handle_ltlibraries): Mark EXTRA_*_DEPENDENCIES as recognized. * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables) (LIBOBJS): Document EXTRA_*_DEPENDENCIES. * lib/am/library.am (%LIBRARY%): Also depend on $(EXTRA_%XLIBRARY%_DEPENDENCIES). * lib/am/ltlibrary.am (%LTLIBRARY%): Also depend on (%XLTLIBRARY%_DEPENDENCIES). * lib/am/program.am (%PROGRAM%%EXEEXT%): Also depend on $(EXTRA_%XPROGRAM%_DEPENDENCIES). * tests/extradep.test, tests/extradep2.test: New tests. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. * NEWS: 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.
