2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral. * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System) (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS) (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects): Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns or by addressing them as `you' instead. * THANKS: Update. Report by Christina Gratorp. * AUTHORS: Update. 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Tiny fix in silent8.test (display output of `make' command). * tests/silent8.test: Make sure that the captured output of `make' command is always displayed. Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter. * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the output produced by `make'. * tests/silent7.test: Likewise. Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter. * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the output produced by `make'. * tests/silent2.test: Likewise. * tests/silent4.test: Likewise. * tests/silent9.test: Likewise. * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean' command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test. Improved test silent5.test. * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean. Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without removing generated sources in between, to check that this does not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's output stricter. Improved/added some comments. New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran. * tests/silentf77.test: New test. * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly. New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++). * tests/silentcxx.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly. New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc). * tests/silentyacc.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly. New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex). * tests/silentlex.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly. Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes. * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space). * tests/silent2.test: Likewise. * tests/silent3.test: Likewise. * tests/silent4.test: Likewise. * tests/silent5.test: Likewise. * tests/silent9.test: Likewise. 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option. * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated Makefile.in slighty stricter. Generate and run configure, so that the generated Makefile can be grepped too. 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts. * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested double-quotes and backquotes. * THANKS: Update. Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib. 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure. 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. This change should eliminate such inconsistencies. * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable. Use it throughout. 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Fix truncated comment in Makefile.am. * Makefile.am (sc_tests_logs_duplicate_prefixes): Fix unfinished sentence in comment. Report by Stefano Lattarini. Relax silent8.test for NetBSD make. * tests/silent8.test: Accept ./foo.info in output as well. Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test. * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD. Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make. * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue. * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test: Require GNU make. 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter. * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred. Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test. * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid unportable use of fgrep option `-e'. * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE' instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE', since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test if the shell doesn't support `test -e'. 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Warning and error message formatting cleanups. * aclocal.in (parse_arguments, main): Remove trailing period or newline in error or warning messages, avoid capitalization of the first word of a message. * automake.in (check_user_variables, handle_languages) (handle_ltlibraries, scan_aclocal_m4, scan_autoconf_config_files) (scan_autoconf_files, cond_stack_if, require_file_internal) (usage, generate_makefile, parse_arguments): Likewise. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (set_strictness): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (set_strictness): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (define): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, variables_dump): Likewise. * tests/ltinstloc.test, tests/suffix11.test: Adjust expected error message. * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (setup_channel): Reword error message to be the same as in msg. Fix placing of ellipses in English text and synopses. * Makefile.am: Be sure to add a space before `...' in natural language text. * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (define): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Likewise. * lib/am/dejagnu.am: Likewise. * lib/am/progs.am: Likewise. * lib/gnupload (dprint, upload): Likewise. * tests/confdeps.test: Likewise. * tests/location.test: Adjust expected output. * automake.in (usage): In synopsis, use singular for OPTION, * remove space before ellipsis. * aclocal.in (usage): Likewise. Also, fix indentation. Fix more duplicate message prefixes. * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (seek): Do not prepend $me. ($me): Remove now-unused package-global. * aclocal.in (check_acinclude): Remove duplicate 'warning: ' prefix. Fix typo in manual. * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add missing closing parenthesis. Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump. * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables. 2010-04-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'. * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test' too. 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output. * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test, tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test, tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before grepping it. 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e'). * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change, an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail. Also, bumped the copyright years. Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter. * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred. Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives). * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives). Also, bumped copyright years. 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments have been parsed. (require_variables): Initialize it here. * tests/configure.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am: Update. Report by Stefano Lattarini. 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test. * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now cause the whole test to fail. 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels. * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation: @<...> was used instead of C<...>. 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output. * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to... * tests/color2.test: ... this new file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly. 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments. Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test. * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve test description. 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Print 'warnings are treated as errors' note if needed. * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fix typo in comment. (_print_message): If -Werror is enabled, print a 'warnings are treated as errors' note before the first such warning. * tests/warnopts.test: Adjust comment to mention expected warning. Adjust code to ignore 'warnings are treated as errors' note. * tests/location.test: Adjust expected output with -Werror. * tests/werror4.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am: Update. * NEWS: Update. Ensure we don't print 'warning:' or 'error:' twice. * Makefile.am (sc_ensure_testsuite_has_run): New helper rule. (sc_tests_logs_duplicate_prefixes): New rule, to check for wrong-looking warning and error messages in the test suite logs. * aclocal.in (scan_configure_dep, scan_file): Remove duplicate `warning: ' prefix. * tests/vars3.test: Rename variable to avoid false positive. Prepend type to warning, error, and fatal messages. For the first part of messages of types `error' or `fatal', prepend `error: ' to the message. Prepend `warning: ' to warning messages, whatever the setting of -Werror. * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (partial): Move up definition. (_format_message): Emit `header' and `footer' strings only with the first resp. last part of a set of partial messages. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Add missing '1;' statement at the end of the module. (Automake::ChannelDefs): Setup warning channels with header `warning: ', error and fatal messages with header `error: '. * tests/condinc2.test, tests/ltinstloc.test: Adjust expected error messages. * tests/comment5.test: Likewise. Also, include stack notes should not start with `error:'. * tests/location.test: Likewise. Also, try both -Werror and -Wno-error. * NEWS: Update. Report by Bruno Haible. Fix capitalization of error messages, reword one message. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Do not capitalize the first word in the error message. * automake.in (require_file_internal): Likewise. Also, reword and line-wrap for better readability. * tests/distcom7.test, tests/pluseq5.test, tests/pluseq9.test: Adjust tests. Fix connected warnings about obsolete exeext override. * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (define): Merge two warnings that belong together, by setting the 'partial' flag for the first one. Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror. Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent and unstable exit status values. * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup) (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of $warnings_are_errors. * tests/werror3.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust. * NEWS: Update. 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh. * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh. Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter. * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL succeds unexpectedly. Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'. * tests/distlinks.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly. Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues. 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz. * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz. * NEWS, THANKS: Update. Report by Pavel Sanda. 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Avoid possible false negatives in cond46.test. * tests/cond46.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag (and bumped copyright years). Due to this change, the testcase should now fail on unexpected failures in calls to $ACLOCAL/$AUTOMAKE (whose outcomes were previously unchecked), and on failures in grepping the expected diagnostic in Automake stderr. 2010-04-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Generated tests are now just a thin layer around other tests. * tests/Makefile.am: Rewrite the rule to generate the `*-p.test' test scripts so that any of them simply includes the corresponding `*.test' script (after setting `$parallel_tests' to `yes'). * tests/.gitignore: Add wildcard for temporary files used in the generation of `*-p.test' tests. 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable. * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?', and readonly). Avoid another use of `chmod -R'. * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in distdir.am. 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Remove uses of @acronym and @sc. * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names): Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual. Suggested by Karl Berry. 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org> GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi. * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream change. 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Formatting cleanups in macro comments. * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm, lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm, m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format. 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file. * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'. * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed. (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'. (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore. ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts adjusted. * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test scripts adjusted. * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes' then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p'). * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests4.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests5.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests6.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests7.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests8.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests10.test: Likewise. * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"): Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests' behaviour.

Report by Peter Johansson. 2010-02-24 Antonio Diaz Diaz <ant_diaz@teleline.es> (tiny change) Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Add lzip compression support. * automake.in (handle_dist): Recognize dist-lzip. (make_paragraphs): Map LZIP to dist-lzip. * doc/automake.texi (Dist): Add dist-lzip. (Options): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Add dist-lzip. * lib/am/distdir.am (dist dist-all): Add command to create an lzip-compressed tarball.

Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz. 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST. * tests/extra10.test: New test, check basic support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST. * tests/extra11.test: New test, check more complex usage of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST. * tests/extra12.test: New test, check usage of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST when $builddir != $srcdir. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly. Necessity of these new tests suggested by Braden McDaniel and Ralf Wildenhues. 2010-02-08 Simon Josefsson <simon@josefsson.org> Fix copyright statement in gnupload script. * lib/gnupload: Fix copyright statement. 2010-02-06 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org> (tiny change) Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.

(handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to set %VERBOSE-NODEP%. * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if dependencies are enabled. * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking; also test per-target flags for non-C language files. * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable dependency tracking. * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust. * NEWS, THANKS: Update. Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>. 2010-01-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test. * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is created. * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years. Fix test acoutbs2.test. * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and remove explicit definition of PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake. Updated copyright years. * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test. Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS). * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the filesystem, which were erroneously left out from $(TESTS): acoutbs2.test, badopt.test, extra2.test. (XFAIL_TESTS): Added acoutbs2.test. 2010-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Sync auxiliary files from upstream. * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub: Sync from upstream.
