2d68fd9b	2011-12-28T13:23:31	configure: search a sturdy POSIX shell to be used in the testsuite * configure.ac: Add code (partially inspired to checks in gnulib's 'tests/init.sh') to search for a good-enough, not-buggy POSIX/XSI shell to be used in our testsuite. Accordingly AC_SUBSTitute the variable 'AM_TEST_RUNNER_SHELL'. * NEWS: Update. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

8ea72c74	2012-04-27T16:27:08	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@'.

Since we use this variable in our configure.ac, we better require autoconf 2.69 explicitly. * configure.ac (AC_PRERQ): Require autoconf >= 2.69. Remove a now-obsolete "FIXME" comment.

da0f9ab4	2012-04-12T15:07:19	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.

8a5096d1	2012-04-06T13:12:25	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	2012-04-01T11:48:47	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.

5d9d10e0	2012-02-22T22:39:03	tests: looks for GNU compilers at configure time This way, if the generic C compiler determined configure time is recognized to be the GNU C compiler, we can reuse it instead of looking for a compiler named "gcc" (over and over again) in the test scripts requiring the GNU C compiler. Ditto for the C++, Fortran, and Fortran 77 compilers. This change will improve coverage by allowing us to more easily use non-default GNU compilers throughout the testsuite. And as a bonus, this change also removes a weakness from our testsuite that could cause spurious failures when flags passed to the generic compilers were erroneously reused for the GNU compilers; see automake bug#10859. * configure.ac: Look for the GNU compilers explicitly. Improve some configure output and diagnostic since we are at it. * tests/defs-static.in ($GNU_CC, $GNU_CXX, $GNU_FC, $GNU_F77): Initialize with the values determined at configure time (while allowing user overrides). * tests/Makefile.am (do_edit): Also substitute the configure-time values of GNU_CC, GNU_CXX, GNU_FC and GNU_F77. * tests/defs (gcc, g++, gfortran, g77): Use the values for the GNU compilers determined at configure time (i.e., $GNU_CC for the GNU C compiler, and so on).

Some minor related rewordings and reformatting since we are at it.

a98e58ff	2012-02-17T15:20:03	tests: fix many spurious failures in VPATH builds The 'is' helper script, used by some test cases since commit 'v1.11-1830-g96401cb' of 08-02-2012, "tests: better way to compare lists in Makefile rules", is not available in VPATH builds, since it resides in $(srcdir), nor in $(builddir), and only $(builddir) is added to $PATH in the test script. This was causing spurious failures. Solve this issue by re-organizing a bit the layout and placing of wrapper and help scripts used by the testsuite. This reorganization is by no mean complete, but should be enough to solve the VPATH issues. * tests/is: Moved ... * tests/ax/is: ... here * tests/automake.in: Moved ... * tests/wrap/automake.in: ... here. * tests/aclocal.in: Moved ... * tests/wrap/aclocal.in: ... here. * tests/defs-static.in ($am_bindir, $PATH): Adjust. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST, check_SCRIPTS): Likewise. * tests/get-sysconf.test: Likewise. * .gitignore: Likewise.

b42514b4	2012-02-14T10:11:02	tests: truly use Lex and Yacc selected by configure When 'yacc-work' was merged into 'yl-work-for-master' in commit v1.11-1910-ge6c40d4 (12-02-2012), the values for $YACC and $LEX stopped being substituted directly by config.status, and started being substituted by a Makefile rule using the contents of the $(YACC) and $(LEX) makefile variables. Unfortunately, our configure.ac was calling AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE on 'YACC' and 'LEX' (see commit v1.11-284-g34ca92b of 29-01-2011, "tests: don't define YACC and LEX in the Makefiles", for a rationale), so that the $(YACC) and $(LEX) in the Makefile simply hold the default make-provided values (that is, "yacc" and "lex" respectively), independently of what yacc and lex programs were defined at configure time. Apart from reducing coverage and creating confusion, this behaviour also caused spurious failures on systems lacking a yacc and/or lex programs. Problem reported by Peter Rosin. References: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2012-02/msg00131.html> <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2012-02/msg00132.html> * configure.ac (AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE): Don't call anymore on 'YACC' nor on 'LEX'.

e508e09d	2012-01-28T10:05:18	build: require GNU make in order to run the maintainer checks This is not a real regression in portability, since most maintainer check rules already assumed GNU grep, and were anyway only meant to run on the developers' systems (where we can safely assume the presence of GNU make).

8de4149e	2011-12-28T11:40:20	test defs: setup `FLAGS' variables for GNU compilers configure.ac: Setup some `FLAGS' variables for use by the GNU compilers in our testsuite. For example, use `GNU_CFLAGS' instead of `CFLAGS', and so on for similar variables.

92174b5a	2011-12-28T11:40:20	configure: search generic compilers for use in the tests * configure.ac: Look for "generic" C, C++ and Fortran compilers, with the aim of starting to use them in the testsuite (this will be done in future changes). This is more tricky than it seems, since we don't want to abort the whole configure script even if no one of those compilers is available (after all, they're only needed by the testsuite, not to build automake), but currently autoconf doesn't offer an easy way to obtain this behaviour. We prefer non-GNU compilers to the GNU ones, to ensure better coverage "in the wild".

fbeda3da	2012-01-18T12:17:11	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.

72c8dcb2	2011-12-22T22:16:12	Merge branch 'maint' into master. * m4/regex.m4: Bump serial number by some notches, for good measure. Prefer the deprecation message from maint over that from master. * m4/python.m4: Bump serial number. * tests/Makefile.am (canon6.log): Depend on `libtool-macros.log'. (canon7.log): Likewise.

f75e3bf5	2011-12-22T19:51:52	maint: distribute .xz tarballs, not .bz2 ones Many GNU packages are moving towards xz-compressed tarballs, so let's follow suit, by dropping the creation and distribution of a bzip2-compressed tarball and switching to xz instead. For compatibility and safeness, we will continue to create and distribute a gzip-compressed tarball as well. * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Drop `dist-bzip2', add `dist-xz'. * NEWS: Update. Suggested by Jim Meyering.
d3e03785	2011-12-22T19:16:48	maint: better use of autoconf 2.68 features * configure.ac: Now that Automake requires autoconf 2.68 for its own bootstrapping and build system, we can assume that PACKAGE_URL gets automatically AC_SUBT'd.

e73061d3	2011-12-21T19:21:41	configure: report TeX version in config.log * configure.ac: If possible, report the version of the selected TeX program; this should render the logs more informative.
5431402f	2011-12-22T14:27:47	maint: snapshots from `maint' are still development snapshots The maintenance-oriented development line in the `maint' branch, while being usually pretty stable and 99% backward-compatible, is not always right off production-quality; but until now, the Automake package version declared in configure.ac hid this fact, since it appeared to be the version of a stable release (e.g., 11.1). Fix this. * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump version to "1.11.0a"
ea67a2ea	2011-12-08T21:48:25	configure: print proper message for test releases * configure.ac: If the current release is detected to be a test release or a development snapshot, print a proper warning for the user. * README-alpha: Delete, it's obsolete now (and in fact this file hasn't been touched in eleven years, since release 1.4b or so). * HACKING (Release procedure): Don't say to update README-alpha.
e9150626	2011-12-08T22:54:18	repo: don't commit generated files in the git repository anymore It has been quite some time since autoconf and libtool have stopped committing the generated autotools files in their git repositories, with no significant ill effects we're aware of. It's true that the autoconf bootstrap process has now the minor annoyance that a pre-installed autoconf is required to complete it; but luckily automake will not have a similar annoyance, since our bootstrap script take care, through some hoops, to use the very automake and aclocal versions from the current git checkout to generate the required aclocal.m4 and Makefile.in files. In fact, this has been a necessity also in the past, because automake has been known to use in its own build system new development features that hadn't been present in any previously released automake distribution. * aclocal.m4: Delete. * configure: Likewise. * Makefile.in: Likewise. * doc/Makefile.in: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Makefile.in: Likewise. * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.in: Likewise. * lib/Makefile.in: Likewise. * lib/am/Makefile.in: Likewise. * m4/Makefile.in: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.in: Likewise. * .gitignore: Ignore configure, aclocal.m4, and all the Makefile.in files. * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): New macro call, to require the latest autoconf (2.68 for the moment).

Fix entry relative to that commit, to adapt to differences between maint and master.
4bae0177	2011-11-17T09:04:10	configure: report perl version in config.log * configure.ac: Report the version of the selected perl interpreter in config.log; this should render the logs more informative.
8ab0c949	2011-09-03T21:03:36	installcheck: support it in our own testsuite * NEWS: Update. * tests/defs-static.in ($am_running_installcheck): New variable. Initialize it to a default of "no", and sanity-check its value. ($am_datadir, $am_docdir, $am_automake_acdir, $am_system_acdir, $am_bindir, $am_scriptdir, $am_pkgvdir): New variables, initialized from AC_SUBST'ed values which are adaptively chosen depending on whether the testsuite is running in "simple" mode or in "installcheck" mode. ($MISSING): Remove, it's not really required by the testsuite.

(AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, AM_PL_LOG_FLAGS): Adaptively choose the `-I' flags for perl based on whether the tests are being run by "make check" or "make installcheck". * tests/Makefile.am (installcheck-local): New target. (defs-static): Generate it at make time, not at configure time, in order to correctly resolve all the indirections in the AC_SUBST'd variables; done with the help of ... (do_subst): ... this new macro. (EXTRA_DIST): Explicitly distribute `defs-static.in'. (CLEANFILES): Remove `defs-static'. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove `tests/defs-static'. (AC_SUBST): Substitute also `automake_acdir', `system_acdir', `scriptdir' and `amdir' to proper values. * lib/Makefile.am (scriptdir): Don't explicitly define anymore. * lib/am/Makefile.am (amdir): Likewise. * m4/acdir/dirlist: Remove, it's not needed anymore. Instead use ... * m4/acdir/.placeholder: ... this file. * m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Update. (automake_acdir, system_acdir): Don't explicitly define anymore. * tests/aclocal-print-acdir.test: Use new `$am_...dir' variables, instead of hard-coding values with $testsrcdir and $testbuilddir, to test more faithfully under "make installcheck". * tests/amhello-binpkg.test: Likewise. * tests/amhello-cflags.test: Likewise. * tests/amhello-cross-compile.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi2knr-no-more.test: Likewise. * tests/autodist-stamp-vti.test: Likewise. * tests/auxdir.test: Likewise. * tests/check2.test: Likewise. * tests/copy.test: Likewise. * tests/multlib.test: Likewise. * tests/obsolete.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-interrupt.test: Likewise. * tests/repeated-options.test: Likewise. * tests/suffix5.test: Likewise. * tests/tap-doc2.test: Likewise. * tests/txinfo22.test: Likewise. * tests/vtexi3.test: Likewise. * tests/defs: Likewise.

8a8890a9	2011-05-29T11:04:08	build: the user can override AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE too Our build system allows the user to override AUTOCONF and AUTOHEADER at configure time, and honours these overrides in our testsuite. But it didn't do the same with AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE. This change fixes that inconsistency. * configure.ac (am_AUTOM4TE, am_AUTOUPDATE, am_AUTORECONF): New AC_SUBSTitutions. Update comments. * tests/defs.in ($AUTOUPDATE): Default to `@am_AUTOUPDATE@' now. ($AUTOM4TE): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTOM4TE@'. ($AUTORECONF): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTORECONF@'. * doc/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): Update.
1321be70	2010-12-03T15:24:14	testsuite: use $SHELL to run tests which are shell scripts * tests/Makefile.am (TEST_LOG_COMPILER): Define so that the configure-time $SHELL is used to run the tests. * tests/defs: Add code to re-execute by default the running test script with configure-time $SHELL. Updated comments. * configure.ac: Check that `set -e' is working for $SHELL, not for /bin/sh. * tests/defs-static.in: Update comments. * tests/README (Supported shells): Updated. (Getting details from failures): Don't tell that tests are run by /bin/sh by default.
f5708853	2011-05-21T09:12:06	test defs: better detection of cross-compile mode * configure.ac (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): New, probably not strictly necessary, but useful to complements AC_CANONICAL_BUILD. * tests/defs-static.in ($host_alias, $build_alias): New variables, exported, user-overridable, defaults AC_SUBST'd by configure. * tests/defs (cross_compiling): Consider cross-compilation mode active only if `$host_alias' is not empty and it differs from `$build_alias'. This is more faithful to the way configure determines whether it is cross-compiling, but still allows the user to easily force cross-compilation by overriding `host_alias' and `build_alias' at runtime. From a report by Ralf Wildenhues.
34ca92b9	2011-01-29T19:47:46	tests: don't define YACC and LEX in the Makefiles We don't want YACC and LEX defined as make variables, otherwise the values determined at configure time will override those from the environment, even in the make-spawned testcases. For example, before this change, with the following usage: $ ./configure YACC=yacc $ export YACC='bison -y' $ make check the testsuite would have ended up, very counterintuitively, with YACC defined to 'yacc' in the testcases' environment. * configure.ac: Call `AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE' on YACC and LEX.
aa9a269b	2011-01-28T23:04:14	configure: look for a lex program to be used by the testsuite This will allow the testcases requiring a 'lex' program to run also with vendor/legacy lex implementations, not only with 'flex'. * configure.ac: Look for a lex program, using AC_CHECK_PROGS. * tests/defs.in: New required entry 'lex'. ($LEX): Let the user override the lex program to be used by the testsuite. * tests/cond35.test ($required): Require 'lex', not 'flex'. * tests/cond36.test: Likewise. * tests/lexv3.test: Likewise. * tests/lexv3.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-lex-gcc.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-lex-generic.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-many-gcc.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-many-generic.test:likewise. * tests/lexvpath.test: Likewise, and fix typo in comments.
d86a2739	2011-01-22T21:11:06	configure: look for a yacc program to be used by the testsuite Instead of forcing the user to manually export 'YACC' in the testsuite to use a non-bison yacc, we now look for a yacc program at configure time, and use that as the default in the testsuite. * configure.ac: Look for a yacc program, using AC_CHECK_PROGS. * tests/defs.in: Updated to use the value of $YACC precomputed by configure, unless the user overrides that in the environment.
b5e53339	2010-11-05T21:29:17	Tests defs: move static definitions in a new file `defs-static'. The new file is meant to be idempotent w.r.t. mutiple inclusions. * tests/defs.in: Removed, its contents split among ... * tests/defs-static.in: ... this new file ... * tests/defs: ... and this new file, including the former. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove `tests/defs', add `tests/defs-static'.

Automake configure script used to tell that automake required autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62, and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake required configure 2.61a-341 or later.

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.

tests: looks for GNU compilers at configure time This way, if the generic C compiler determined configure time is recognized to be the GNU C compiler, we can reuse it instead of looking for a compiler named "gcc" (over and over again) in the test scripts requiring the GNU C compiler. Ditto for the C++, Fortran, and Fortran 77 compilers. This change will improve coverage by allowing us to more easily use non-default GNU compilers throughout the testsuite. And as a bonus, this change also removes a weakness from our testsuite that could cause spurious failures when flags passed to the generic compilers were erroneously reused for the GNU compilers; see automake bug#10859. * configure.ac: Look for the GNU compilers explicitly. Improve some configure output and diagnostic since we are at it. * tests/defs-static.in ($GNU_CC, $GNU_CXX, $GNU_FC, $GNU_F77): Initialize with the values determined at configure time (while allowing user overrides). * tests/Makefile.am (do_edit): Also substitute the configure-time values of GNU_CC, GNU_CXX, GNU_FC and GNU_F77. * tests/defs (gcc, g++, gfortran, g77): Use the values for the GNU compilers determined at configure time (i.e., $GNU_CC for the GNU C compiler, and so on).

tests: truly use Lex and Yacc selected by configure When 'yacc-work' was merged into 'yl-work-for-master' in commit v1.11-1910-ge6c40d4 (12-02-2012), the values for $YACC and $LEX stopped being substituted directly by config.status, and started being substituted by a Makefile rule using the contents of the $(YACC) and $(LEX) makefile variables. Unfortunately, our configure.ac was calling AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE on 'YACC' and 'LEX' (see commit v1.11-284-g34ca92b of 29-01-2011, "tests: don't define YACC and LEX in the Makefiles", for a rationale), so that the $(YACC) and $(LEX) in the Makefile simply hold the default make-provided values (that is, "yacc" and "lex" respectively), independently of what yacc and lex programs were defined at configure time. Apart from reducing coverage and creating confusion, this behaviour also caused spurious failures on systems lacking a yacc and/or lex programs. Problem reported by Peter Rosin. References: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2012-02/msg00131.html> <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2012-02/msg00132.html> * configure.ac (AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE): Don't call anymore on 'YACC' nor on 'LEX'.

This change will allow us to take advantage, in future changes, of more GNU make features, thus simplifying or optimizing some of our maintainer rules. * GNUmakefile: New, including 'Makefile' and 'syntax-checks.mk'. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): Link it in the builddir. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute 'GNUmakefile' and 'syntax-checks.mk'. Move all syntax-check rules and auxiliary variables into ... * syntax-checks.mk: ... this new file, with some adjustments.

test defs: setup `*FLAGS' variables for GNU compilers * configure.ac: Setup some `*FLAGS' variables for use by the GNU compilers in our testsuite. For example, use `GNU_CFLAGS' instead of `CFLAGS', and so on for similar variables. This is especially useful in case the compilers found or defined at configure time are not the GNU ones. * tests/defs-static.in: Initialize those same variables with the values set at configure time, but allowing overrides from the environment. * tests/Makefile.am (do_subst): Process configure-style substitutions of those variables (e.g., `@GNU_CFLAGS@'). * tests/defs: When a GNU compiler is required, override the corresponding generic `*FLAGS' variable with the GNU-specific variant (e.g., redefine `$CFLAGS' to take the value of `$GNU_CFLAGS').

configure: search generic compilers for use in the tests * configure.ac: Look for "generic" C, C++ and Fortran compilers, with the aim of starting to use them in the testsuite (this will be done in future changes). This is more tricky than it seems, since we don't want to abort the whole configure script even if no one of those compilers is available (after all, they're only needed by the testsuite, not to build automake), but currently autoconf doesn't offer an easy way to obtain this behaviour. We prefer non-GNU compilers to the GNU ones, to ensure better coverage "in the wild".

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.

repo: don't commit generated files in the git repository anymore It has been quite some time since autoconf and libtool have stopped committing the generated autotools files in their git repositories, with no significant ill effects we're aware of. It's true that the autoconf bootstrap process has now the minor annoyance that a pre-installed autoconf is required to complete it; but luckily automake will not have a similar annoyance, since our bootstrap script take care, through some hoops, to use the very automake and aclocal versions from the current git checkout to generate the required aclocal.m4 and Makefile.in files. In fact, this has been a necessity also in the past, because automake has been known to use in its own build system new development features that hadn't been present in any previously released automake distribution. * aclocal.m4: Delete. * configure: Likewise. * Makefile.in: Likewise. * doc/Makefile.in: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Makefile.in: Likewise. * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.in: Likewise. * lib/Makefile.in: Likewise. * lib/am/Makefile.in: Likewise. * m4/Makefile.in: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.in: Likewise. * .gitignore: Ignore configure, aclocal.m4, and all the Makefile.in files. * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): New macro call, to require the latest autoconf (2.68 for the moment).

parallel-tests: per-extension test driver: <EXT>_LOG_COMPILER. For test files with extension <ext>, introduce the internal variable <EXT>_LOG_COMPILE, which expands to $(<EXT>_LOG_COMPILER) $(AM_<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS) $(<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS). Turn also the lib/Automake/tests testsuite over to the new test driver. * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Document `EXT_LOG_COMPILER' and `EXT_LOG_FLAGS'. * lib/am/check2.am: Insert `%COMPILE%' right before test. * automake.in (handle_tests): Substitute `COMPILE' for check2, empty for tests without extension, and `$(ext_LOG_COMPILE)' for extension `ext'. In the latter case, define it from the public components. * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use `parallel-test' globally. * tests/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove, not needed here any more. * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Split ... (PL_LOG_COMPILER, PL_LOG_FLAGS): ... into these new variables. (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): New variable, initialize to `.pl'. * tests/parallel-tests7.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
