  	tests: ensure verbose printing of captured make output
  	* tests/libtool7.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured
  	make output.
  	* tests/libtool9.test: Likewise.
  
  2011-05-03  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	tests: fix spurious failure in 'color2.test'
  	* tests/color2.test: If $MAKE contains command-line arguments (as
  	in e.g., "make -j2"), expect's directive "spawn $env(MAKE)" fails
  	spuriously, because it tries to run "$MAKE" as a single command.
  	Fix this with proper uses of the TCL `eval' builtin.
  
  2011-05-01  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	tests: fix self check spurious failure with older bash versions
  	* tests/self-check-cleanup.test: Add trailing `:' to the test code
  	passed to $SHELL, otherwise older versions of bash (at least 2.05
  	and 3.2.39) fail to correctly remove the temporary directory in
  	the exit trap.
  
  2011-04-29  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	testsuite: more environment sanitization
  	* tests/defs: Move the checks verifying that the variables `me',
  	`parallel_tests' and `required' aren't set in the environment ...
  	* tests/defs-static.in: ... in here, with some optimizations to
  	avoid useless forks.  Also, do the same checks for the variables
  	`original_AUTOMAKE' and `original_ACLOCAL' too.
  	* tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: Update.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset also variables
  	`original_AUTOMAKE' and `original_ACLOCAL'.
  
  2011-04-24  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	tests: fix spurious failure (non-renamed AM_TESTS_SETUP usage)
  	* tests/parallel-tests-reset-term.test: Use AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT
  	instead of AM_TESTS_SETUP (which has been removed in commit
  	v1.11-349-g12f48fa).
  	Fix spurious failure introduced by merge `v1.11-781-gfeed175'.
  
  2011-04-24  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	tests: fix spurious failure in a test on TESTS (VPATH-related)
  	* check-tests-in-builddir.test: When not using the parallel-tests
  	option, do not check that VPATH components are not present in the
  	displayed test name, since the simple-tests driver do not try to
  	strip them.
  
  2011-04-24  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	tests: fix spurious failure in self-check-env-sanitize.test
  	* tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: Open file descriptor `5'
  	to stdout.
  	Fix spurious failure introduced by merge `v1.11-788-g3b0c8d5'.
  
  2011-04-23  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	test: self check subroutines for skipping/failing of tests
  	* tests/self-check-report.test: New test.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
  
  2011-04-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
  	    Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	test defs: new subroutines for test skipping/failing
  	* tests/defs.in (Exit): Move definition of this function earlier.
  	(warn_, skip_, fail_, framework_failure_): New functions, inspired
  	to the homonyms in gnulib's tests/init.sh.
  	($stderr_fileno_): New global variable, used by the new functions
  	above.
  	* tests/README: Updated.
  	From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
  
  2011-04-23  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	tests: fix typo (copy & paste blunder) in heading comment
  	* tests/maintclean-vpath.test: Correctly refer to the sister test
  	as `maintclean.test', not as `maintclean-vpath.test'.
  
  2011-04-23  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	tests: remove redundant test `mclean.test'
  	* tests/mclean.test: Remove, it's a weak grepping test completely
  	superseded by the much more complete `maintclean.test'.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
  
  2011-04-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	testsuite: more environment sanitization
  	* tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if any of `parallel_tests'
  	or `required' is in the environment.
  	($sed_unindent_prog): Initialize to empty, to avoid interferences
  	from the environment.
  	* tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: Renamed to ...
  	* tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: ... this, and extended.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
  	(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variables `parallel_tests' and
  	`required'.  Adjust comments.
  
  2011-04-19  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	tests: in self-checks, use $SHELL, not /bin/sh
  	* tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: Include `./defs-static' to get
  	the definition of `$SHELL'.  Use `$SHELL' instead of `/bin/sh' to
  	execute the tests.
  
  2011-04-19  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	tests: prefer AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT to TESTS_ENVIRONMENT
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Renamed to ...
  	(AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): ... this.
  
  2011-04-18  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	tests: don't allow `$me' to be overridden from the environment
  	* tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if $me is in the environment.
  	* tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: New test.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variable `me'.
  	(TESTS): Update.
  	Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
  
  2011-04-18  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	check: rename AM_TESTS_SETUP -> AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT
  	The AM_TESTS_SETUP naming was not a good one after all.  It may
  	be technically more correct than AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, but the
  	latter is a better one simply because it is easier to remember,
  	and even if you've never heard of it and only know the semantics
  	of TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, you can have a straightforward way to
  	figure out how AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT would work.
  	* tests/check.am (am__check_pre): Update.
  	* doc/automake.in (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Update.
  	* tests/parallel-tests-am_tests_setup.test: Renamed ...
  	* tests/parallel-tests-am_tests_environment.test: ... to this,
  	and updated.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
  	Suggestion and motivation by Ralf Wildenhues.
  
  2011-04-17  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	test defs: allow overriding of `$me'
  	* tests/defs.in ($me): Allow overriding by the including test
  	script.  Add some explicative comments.
  
  2011-04-17  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	coverage: more tests on the parallel-tests driver
  	* tests/parallel-tests-interrupt.test: New test.
  	* tests/parallel-tests-reset-term.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
  
  2011-04-17  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	check: new developer-reserved AM_TESTS_SETUP variable
  	For reference, see the discussion at:
  	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2011-01/msg00213.html>
  	* lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (am__check_pre): Pass also
  	$(AM_TESTS_SETUP).  Comments updated, and some typos fixed.
  	* doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Document
  	AM_TESTS_SETUP.  Reorder some of the existing documentation a bit.
  	* tests/parallel-tests-am_tests_setup.test: New test.
  	From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
  
  2011-04-17  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	depcomp tests: don't reject slower dependency extractors
  	* tests/depcomp8b.test: Add the `--enable-dependency-tracking'
  	option to `configure' invocations, so that slower dependency
  	extractors are not rejected.
  	* tests/depcomp8b.test: Likewise.  Also ...
  	(foo.c): ... since we are at it, fix spacing to be consistent
  	with GNU coding standards.

  	* lib/depcomp: Insert missing -e before '/:$/d'.

  	* tests/depcomp10.test: Make it executable.  Fix a blunder that

  	Add reference to the relevant bug report.  Add a comment which
  	explains why the test result 'skipped' if the first "make" call

  2011-04-10  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
  	The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
  	cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does
  	print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
  	  $ javac -version
  	  javac 1.5.0_22
  	  javac: no source files
  	  Usage: javac <options> <source files>
  	  ...
  	Luckily, adding the `-help' option to the `javac' invocation
  	seems to fix this problem.
  	* tests/defs.in (javac): Pass also the `-help' option to the
  	`javac' program.  Add a comment explaining why it is needed.
  	Report from Ralf Wildenhues.

  	Fix makedepend depmode for VPATH builds.

  	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.

  	libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
  	When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
  	defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
  	in configure.ac.  But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
  	version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT.  So
  	suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
  	* lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
  	with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
  	* libtool4.test: Adjust and extend.  Also, add a call to macro
  	AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does

  	tests: add testcases sanity-checking the testsuite
  	Helper subroutines, variables and other pieces of code defined

  2011-02-15  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	tests: optimize `instspc-*.test' for speed
  	After the split of `instspc.test' into various generated tests,
  	the running time of the testsuite has noticeably increased, since
  	all these new generated tests must run aclocal, autoconf and
  	automake, whereas previously they were run only once (at the
  	beginning of `instspc.test').  But luckily, since the new tests
  	share the same input files for the autotools, this situation can
  	be easily worked around (at the expenses of a slight increase of
  	complexity for the testsuite scaffolding).
  	* tests/instspc-data.test: New helper test, properly calling
  	the `instspc-tests.sh' script to generate input data for the
  	others `instspc-*.test' tests.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add `instspc-data.test'.
  	($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): Depend on its log file.
  	(instspc-data.log): Depend on `instspc-tests.sh'.
  	* tests/instspc-tests.sh: Recognize new action `generate-data',
  	and use it to create hand-written and autotools-generated static
  	files shared by all the `instspc-*.test' tests.
  	When sourced by the `instspc-*.test' tests, use those previously
  	created files instead of recreating them from scratch.
  	(unindent, create_input_data): New subroutines.
  	Some other related changes and refactorings.

  	Make grepping of generated Makefile.in laxer w.r.t. whitespace.
  	Add trailing `:' command.
  	* tests/python2.test: Remove repeated calls aclocal: they are

  	turned off by default in `foreign' strictness.
  	(Options): Divide into new sections "Options generalities" and
  	"List of Automake options".  Fix typo (colon instead of full

  	* lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept as
  	arguments a list of hash references with keys 'option' and 'where',

  	files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources, it still caused
  	them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
  	simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
  	This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
  	those generated .c and .h files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES
  	by hand.
  	This change fixes this issue, by making non-distributed `.c' and
  	`.h' files generated by non-distributed Yacc sources cleaned by
  	"make clean".
  	* tests/automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Make C source and
  	header files derived from non-distributed Yacc files cleaned by
  	"make clean", not only by "make maintainer-clean".
  	* tests/yacc-clean.test: New test.

  	Fix parallel testsuite run with Zsh.
  	This change deals with a Zsh incompatibility in the handling
  	of the special shell variable `$0' in sourced files; this
  	incompatibility used to cause utter breakage when the
  	Automake testsuite was run in parallel mode with Zsh as
  	the $(TEST_LOG_COMPILER).
  	For more information, please refer to the thread "Fix parallel
  	testsuite run with zsh" on automake-patches, dated 2010-12-22:
  	 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-12/msg00135.html>
  	This change works around the problems described above for Zsh 4.3
  	or later, and offers better error messages (instead of random
  	failures) for earlier Zsh version.
  	* tests/README (Supported shells): When describing the manual
  	workaround about the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0',
  	tell that it is now needed only with Zsh versions preceding 4.3.
  	Done also some minor rewordings.
  	* tests/defs-static.in ($argv0): New variable, offers a workaround
  	for the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0'.
  	Abort if that variable cannot be correctly set (can happen only
  	in older Zsh version).
  	* tests/defs ($me): Define using `$argv0', not `$0'.

  	distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
  	* tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
  	its output each time for a single error message, rather than
  	running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
  	all the expected error messages.  This should work around make
  	implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
  	information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:

  	changes.  Add trailing `:' command.  Use the configure.in

  2010-11-25  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
  	In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
  	use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
  	unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
  	compilers were used.  So we are now careful to require GCC in
  	tests that force gcc depmode.
  	From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
  	* silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
  	* silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
  	sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
  	"gcc" in $required.

  	post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
  	of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
  	on the commend line.  Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
  	* tests/colon6.test: Likewise.

  	not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
  	This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by

  2010-11-12  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Fix bug in test `backcompat6.test' (MSYS portability).
  	* tests/backcompat6.test (Makefile.am): Grep the output from the
  	test program, rather than diffing it, to avoid spurious failures
  	on MinGW/MSYS due to LF vs. CRLF line endings.
  	Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
  
  2010-11-13  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Deprecate obsolete macro AM_WITH_REGEX.
  	* m4/regex.m4: Document the `AM_WITH_REGEX' macro as obsolete,
  	and state that it should be removed two years from now.
  	(AM_WITH_REGEX): Raise an m4-time warning of the "obsolete"
  	category when this macro is used.
  	* doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Move description of
  	`AM_WITH_REGEX' from here ...
  	(Obsolete Macros): ... to here, and declare it as obsolete
  	and "to be removed in a future version".
  	* tests/regex-obsolete.test: New test.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
  
  2010-11-08  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Improve and extend tests on man pages support.
  	* tests/man.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related changes.
  	Make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly stricter.
  	* tests/man3.test:  Add trailing `:' command.
  	* tests/man5.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to append to
  	configure.in.
  	* tests/man2.test: Likewise, and add trailing `:' command.
  	* tests/man4.test: More thorough and consistent checking of make
  	error messages.  Place fake `help2man' program in a new `bin'
  	directory rather than in `.'.  Move the checks using the real
  	`help2man' program to ...
  	* tests/man6.test: ... this new test, and extend them.  This test
  	passes with GNU make and Solaris make, still fails with BSD make.
  	* tests/man7.test: New test, extracted from old man4.test, which
  	checks for a bug in maintainer-clean w.r.t. generated manpages.
  	* tests/man8.test: New test, extracted from old man4.test, which
  	checks for a bug in distcheck w.r.t. generated manpages.  Passes
  	with GNU make and Solaris make, still fails with BSD make.
  
  2010-11-08  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Minor improvements and extensions to various tests.
  	* tests/defun.test: Also run autoconf and grep the generated
  	configure to make sure that aclocal truly picks up all the
  	required macros.
  	* tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing
  	`Exit 0'.  Do not create useless dummy source files.  Do not set
  	useless `$(foo_LDADD)' variable in `Makefile.am'.  Do not call
  	useless macro `AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS' in `configure.in'.
  	* tests/compile_f90_c_cxx.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/suffix10.test: Slightly stricter grepping of make output.
  	* tests/compile.test: Add trailing `:' command.
  	* tests/defun2.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/vartar.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/vars.test: Likewise.  Also, extend test by checking
  	that the definition of `MY_FLAGS*' variables is preserved in
  	the generated `Makefile.in'.
  	* tests/stamph2.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
  	Use proper m4 quoting in `configure.in'.
  
  2010-11-11  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Tests defs: improve messages for skipped tests.
  	* tests/defs: Give meaningful messages about the reasons of a
  	test skip; this is especially useful as this file is run without
  	verbose xtraces on.  Related reorderings in the code and new
  	comments.
  
  2010-11-10  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Tests defs: move static definitions in a new file `defs-static'.
  	The new file is meant to be idempotent w.r.t. multiple 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'.
  	(AC_CONFIG_LINKS): Add `tests/defs'.
  	* tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Update.
  	($(instspc_tests)): Likewise.
  	* tests/.gitignore: Update.
  
  	Tests defs: $testsbuilddir is now AC_SUBST'ed.
  	* tests/defs.in ($testsbuilddir): Substitute from @abs_builddir@.
  	Add sanity check on $testsbuilddir, similar to those on
  	$testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir.
  
  	Tests defs: do not print message "Running test $0" anymore.
  	* tests/defs.in: Printing the message "=== Running test $0" at
  	the beginning of each tests made sense when Automake used the old
  	test-driver, which sent all the output directly to stdout/stderr.
  	Now that the parallel test-driver is used, which saves output of
  	each test in its corresponding log file, that old message is just
  	useless noise.
  
  	Tests defs: rename $curdir -> $testbuilddir
  	* tests/defs.in: Rename $curdir to $testbuildir, for clarity and
  	consistency with $testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir.
  
  	Tests defs: prefer "$curdir" over "`pwd`".
  	* tests/defs.in: We already save the value of `pwd` in $curdir
  	early in the file, so there no need to recalculate it later, when
  	the current working directory is not changed.
  
  	Tests defs: use `$me' in more error messages.
  	* tests/defs.in: Also use `$me' in error messages referring to
  	missing `defs' or `defs.in', since that variable is now defined
  	before those checks.
  
  	Tests defs: do not use `Exit' where plain `exit' suffices.
  	* tests/defs.in: Use "exit 77" rather than "Exit 77" to skip the
  	test when required libtool/gettext macros are not found, since
  	such skips would take place before the exit trap is installed.
  
  	Tests defs: improve and extends comments.
  	* tests/defs.in: Improve and extends some comments, especially in
  	relation with the changes introduced by the previous reordering.
  
  	Tests defs: various reorderings.
  	* tests/defs.in: Reordered various snippets of code in a
  	clearer way.
  
  2010-11-09  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Fix bug in test `backcompat4.test' (stale autom4te cache).
  	* tests/backcompat4.test: Remove stale autom4te cache directory
  	before re-running aclocal and automake.  Also, since we are at
  	it, be more verbose in displaying contents of generated files,
  	to ease debuggability.
  	Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
  
  2010-11-07  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
  	* lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
  	"appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
  	later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
  	character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
  	escaped newlines.  This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
  	where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
  	* tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
  	Reported by Andy Wingo.
  
  2010-11-07  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Modernize, improve and/or tweak various test scripts.
  	* tests/stamph2.test: Improve m4 quoting in `configure.in', and
  	prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
  	* tests/syntax.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps.
  	* tests/copy.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag.  Extend test by
  	checking with `test' utility that the script `install-sh' is
  	copied, but not symlinked.
  	* tests/depdist.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
  	in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs).  Avoid obsoleted
  	constructs in generated `configure.in'.  Prefer to do our checks
  	by running configure and make over grepping Makefile.in.
  	* tests/target-cflags: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag
  	earlier in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use the
  	`configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than writing it
  	from scratch.
  	* tests/target-clash: Do not uselessly run autoconf.
  	* tests/ctarget1.test: Renamed ...
  	* tests/cond-basic.test: ... to this.  Use the `configure.in' stub
  	created by `./defs', rather than writing it from scratch.
  	Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just
  	after inclusion of ./defs).  Other minor cosmetic changes.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
  
  2010-11-06  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	New tests on obsoleted usages of automake/autoconf macros (such
  	as AC_INIT, AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE and AC_OUTPUT).
  	* tests/backcompat.test: New test script.
  	* tests/backcompat2.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/backcompat3.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/backcompat4.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/backcompat5.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/backcompat6.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/init.test: Extended and improved, esp. by trying more
  	combinations of calls to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE with few
  	arguments.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
  
  2010-11-06  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
  	* automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
  	if control structure in a generated make rules.  Bug introduced
  	by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
  	of test `vala2.test'.
  
  2010-11-01  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
  	* doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
  	modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
  	* NEWS: Update.
  	* automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
  	stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
  	(lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
  	and header remaking.
  	* lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
  	passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
  	* lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
  	%STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
  	* tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
  	New tests.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
  
  2010-11-05  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Fix potential bug in generated tests `instpc-*.test'.
  	This bug is due to the changes introduced by the recently-merged
  	"tests-init" branch.  In that branch, `tests/defs' didn't define
  	anymore `$srcdir', instead defining directly `$testsrcdir'; but
  	the generated tests were using `$srcdir', hence the bug.
  	Luckily, since the Automake parallel test driver automatically
  	exports `srcdir' to a proper value, that prevented the bug from
  	manifesting itself.
  	* tests/Makefile.am ($(instspc_tests)): In the generated test
  	scripts, use `$testsrcdir', not `$srcdir'.
  
  2010-11-03  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Overhauled and modularized tests in `instspc.test'.
  	The test `instspc.test' was way too big and fragile.  Its running
  	time was very long.  It also produced a log that was nearly
  	unreadable due to its length, making it very difficult to find
  	out the reason for failures.
  	Also, it was too much monolithic, with a single (maybe spurious)
  	failure in a corner case causing the whole test to fail (even if
  	everything worked as expected in the other 99% of cases).
  	The present change should solve these problems, by separating
  	`instspc.test' into many smaller, self-contained, auto-generated
  	tests.
  	* tests/instspc.test: Removed.
  	* tests/instspc-tests.sh: New script, fulfilling a double role:
  	1. it generates a Makefile.am snippet `tests/instspc-tests.am',
  	containing the definition of a list of new tests which will take
  	over the older `instspc.test', and
  	2. it is sourced by said generated tests with proper parameters
  	pre-set, to run the "meat" of the checks.
  	This apparent abuse is indeed required because the test generation
  	code and test execution code are inevitably intertwined.
  	* tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/instspc-tests.am): Include this
  	snippet, which (among the other things) defines ...
  	(instspc_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list of the
  	newly generated `instspc*.test' tests, and ...
  	(instspc_xfail_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list
  	of the `instspc*.test' tests expected to fail.
  	($(instspc_tests)): New rule, generates the `instspc*.test' tests.
  	($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): New rule, registers the dependency
  	of all `instspc*.test' tests on the `instspc-tests.sh' script.
  	(TESTS): Add `$(instspc_tests)', remove `instspc.test'.
  	(XFAIL_TESTS): Add `$(xfail_instspc_tests)'.
  	(EXTRA_DIST): Distribute instspc-tests.sh.
  	(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Added $(instspc_tests).
  	Other minor cosmetic changes.
  	* bootstrap: Generate instspc-tests.am.
  	* tests/.gitignore: Updated.
  
  2010-11-01  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.
  	* doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
  	(Introduction): Refer to it.
  
  2010-10-07  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>
  
  	depcomp: add new one-pass depmode for MSVC 7 and later.
  	* lib/depcomp: Add new depmodes 'msvc7' and 'msvc7msys' which
  	make use of the -showIncludes option added in MSVC 7.
  	* m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Handle the new depmodes
  	similarly to 'msvisualcpp' and 'msvcmsys' as MSVC does not
  	support the -o option.
  
  2010-10-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
  
  	dist-xz, dist-bzip2: don't hard-code -9: honor envvar settings
  	* lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz): Do not hard-code xz's -9: that
  	made it impossible to override.  Instead, use its XZ_OPT envvar,
  	defaulting to -9 if not defined.  Thus no change in behavior
  	when XZ_OPT is not set, and now, this rule honors the setting
  	of that envvar when it is set.  Suggested by Lasse Collin.
  	(dist-bzip2): Likewise for it's corresponding envvar: BZIP2.
  	* NEWS (Miscellaneous changes): Mention it.
  	* doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions): Describe the
  	newly enabled environment variables.
  
  2010-10-04  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Add support for newer python versions.
  	* m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
  	_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST.  Since we are at it, break a long
  	line and fix indentation.
  	* THANKS: Updated.
  	From a report by Thomas Klausner.
  
  	Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
  	* tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
  
  	Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
  	* tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
  	flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
  	* tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
  	* tests/help.test: Likewise.  Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
  	instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
  	please maintainer-check.
  	* tests/help2.test: Likewise.
  
  2010-10-03  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  	    Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
  	* tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
  	flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
  	to better honour user-overrides.  Similarly for aclocal.
  	* tests/help2.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/help3.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/help4.test: Likewise.
  
  2010-10-03  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	tests: fix ar-lib.test for echo that interprets backslashes.
  	* tests/ar-lib.test: Use printf instead of echo.  Avoid test -a.
  	More robust quoting.
  
  2010-10-03  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	maintainer-check coverage for variables before rules.
  	* Makefile.am (sc_ensure_testsuite_has_run): Suggest keeping
  	around the test directories.
  	(sc_tests_makefile_variable_order): New rule with a heuristic to
  	catch ordering violations.
  
  	Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
  	* doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
  	are expanded before rules.
  	* lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
  	get matched as a rule.
  	Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
  
  2010-10-02  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	Coverage and minor fixes for variable typo detection.
  	* automake.in (check_typos): Remove `EXTRA_' prefix when
  	computing canonical name.
  	* tests/vartypo2.test, tests/vartypos.test: New tests.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
  
  	Implement EXTRA_maude_DEPENDENCIES for programs and libraries.
  	* 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.
  	Suggested by Eric Blake.
  
  	tests: avoid running into timing issues due to sanity change.
  	* tests/acloca10.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal9.test:
  	Insert strategic sleep before aclocal reruns, to ensure files
  	are newer.
  	* tests/python11.test: Use --force for repeated autotools runs.
  	Reports from the NixOS Hydra build daemon via Ludovic Courtès.
  
  	Fix timestamp issues by ensuring configure takes at least a second.
  	* m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): If we didn't sleep here,
  	start a sleep in the background and wait for it to finish
  	before creating config.status, hopefully fixing all spurious
  	testsuite failures involving botched time stamps.
  	* NEWS: Update.
  	Reports by Ludovic Courtès, Peter Breitenlohner, and others.
  
  2010-10-02  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
  	This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
  	because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.
  
  	2010-09-07  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue.
  	* automake.in (handle_tests): New argument $makefile, new
  	substitution %MAKEFILE%.
  	(generate_makefile): Adjust.
  	* lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (check-TESTS): Pass
  	sanitized TEST_LOGS value as makefile snippet on standard
  	input to $(MAKE), to avoid exceeding the command line limit on
  	w32 (MSYS).
  	* NEWS: Update.
  	Report by Bob Friesenhahn.
  
  2010-09-26  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
  	* tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
  	it, rather than removing already present files.  Run the aclocal
  	and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
  	$AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL.  Be sure to correctly match literal dots
  	in aclocal's and automake's stderr.  Add a trailing `:' command.
  	* tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
  	`--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
  	* tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
  	`--version' take precedence on the other options.
  	* tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
  	`--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
  	line wins.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
  
  2010-09-25  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

  	($PATH_SEPARATOR):  New AC_SUBST'd variables.
  	($PATH): Use it.
  
  2010-09-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used.
  	* doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'
  	directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
  	regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
  	(The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
  	`.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private
  	directories.
  	(missing and AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Try to be more agnostic w.r.t.
  	the version control system used.
  
  	Manual: index refer to target "git-dist", not "cvs-dist".
  	* doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Index the non-standard
  	example about "git-dist" under the "git-dist" label, not under
  	the "cvs-dist" one.
  
  	Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".
  	* lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's
  	git repository" rather than to "Automake's CVS repository".
  	* lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Likewise.

  2010-09-21  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>
  
  	compile: implement library search to support MSVC static linking
  	* lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): Implement library search and
  	-static option so that the user can select whether to prefer
  	dll import libraries or static libraries.  This enables MSVC to
  	link against dlls generated by libtool without requiring libtool
  	or workarounds such as -lfoo.dll etc.  Makes the tests/static.at
  	test case in libtool pass.
  	* tests/compile3.test: Don't trip up if there happens to exist
  	a "foo" library in the library search path.
  	* tests/compile6.test: New test, verifying the library search.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

  2010-09-12  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
  	* tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
  	that made the test useless.  Since we are at it, improve
  	comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
  	stricter.
  	Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
  	extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
  
  2010-09-08  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
  	The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
  	target system for Automake.  So it's pointless to put it in
  	$required.
  	* tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
  	* tests/lex3.test: Likewise.

  	changes in the related `case' statement (indentation, balancing
  	of parentheses).
  	* THANKS: Update.
  	From a report by Jeff A. Daily.
  
  2010-09-08  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
  	* tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
  	instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
  	* tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.

  	w32 (MSYS).
  	* NEWS: Update.
  	Report by Bob Friesenhahn.
  
  	Posix 2008 requires make to set errexit.
  	* lib/am/check.am: Update comment.

  	Tests defs: $srcdir is unconditionally substituted.
  	* tests/defs.in ($srcdir): Define unconditionally to @abs_srcdir@.
  	Remove code for $srcdir normalization, which is now useless.
  
  2010-09-02  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Tests defs: make spacing more consistent.
  	* tests/defs.in: Make spacing more consistent in indentation.
  	Especially, indent using only spaces, not tabs.  Also, move
  	a comment to a better position.

  	Fix bug in test missing6.test.
  	* tests/missing6.test: Fix the hack used to edit `configure.in',
  	to avoid producing a configure script that breaks with shells

  	changes.
  
  2010-09-02  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>
  
  	Make ar-lib support backslashed files in archives.
  	* lib/ar-lib: If an archive member contains a backslash, make sure
  	it is escaped when the archive member is extracted.
  	* tests/ar-lib.test: Test the above.
  
  2010-08-31  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>
  
  	Do file name conversion for object files in the compile wrapper.
  	* lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): Do file name conversion for object
  	files (i.e. extensions .obj, .OBJ, .o and .O) if needed.
  	* tests/compile4.test: Test the above.
  
  2010-08-21  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	Speed up removal of auxiliary linker output files for ltlibraries.

  	Docs: clarify how to avoid automatic dependencies tracking.
  	* doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that

  	the package developer can disable it altogether.  Add a reference
  	to the proper section for a more in-depth explanation.
  
  	Fix typo in manual (`Makefile.in' instead of `Makefile.am').
  	* doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Fix typo.

  	Support more C++ file extensions for MSVC in the compile script.
  	* lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): MSVC only recognizes the .cpp
  	file extension as C++, unless it's given a hint. So hint about
  	.cc, .CC, .cxx, .CXX, c++ and C++. Also do path conversion on
  	.c, .cpp, .CPP, .lib, .LIB and .Lib files.
  	* tests/compile3.test: Test the C++ hinting.
  
  2010-08-12  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>
  
  	Enable the use of "link -lib" as the wrapped archiver.

  	Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.
  	* tests/pr224.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
  	in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs).  Do not export
  	`CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
  	in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required).  Use the stub for
  	`configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from

  	stub preset be ./defs.
  	* tests/confh.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by ./defs,
  	rather than writing one from scratch, and do not call AC_OUTPUT.

  	in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs).  Fail the test if
  	`make distcheck' fails.  Ensure verbose printing of captured make

  	test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
  	(configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
  	(Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

  2010-08-01  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>
  
  	Wrap some MSVC options in the compile script.
  	* lib/compile: MSVC supports naming the output file, the option
  	is just not called -o, so transform -o into the appropriate form
  	for MSVC. Also wrap some other options while at it (-L, -l, -Wl,

  	* tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
  	changes.  Do not create useless dummy source files.

  	and in subdirs) stricter.  Some minor changes to keep it more
  	in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.

  	`subdir5.test' here).
  	* tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.

  	autoconf/automake macros.
  
  	Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
  	* tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
  	a $MAKE call.  Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
  	* tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
  	Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
  	instead.  Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
  	Display the content of more files, to ease debugging.  Add a
  	trailing `:' command.  Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister

  2010-07-18  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Improve and extend test cond5.test.
  	* tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
  	the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
  	at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
  	and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
  	priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
  	Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
  	standard error.
  	Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
  	Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
  	writing one from scratch.

  	Fix typo-related bug in test script silent5.test.
  	* tests/silent5.test: Use $EGREP, not $GREP (which is not even
  	defined).
  
  	Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
  	* tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
  	`foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
  	already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
  	* tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use
  	of `foreign' option in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.

  	never used.
  
  2010-06-24  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
  	* tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
  	instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
  
  2010-06-21  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
  	`make dist' to fail.

  	* tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
  	tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
  	please maintainer-check.  Ensure generated C files contain a
  	declaration, to please compilers.
  
  2010-06-21  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
  	$(FLAGS) precedence.
  	* automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
  	"Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
  	$(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
  	* tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
  	* NEWS: Updated.
  
  	New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
  	$(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
  	* tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
  	precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS).  Still
  	xfailing.
  	* tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/yflags.test: New test, check that user $(YFLAGS) takes

  	might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
  	* tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
  	in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs).  Use a more
  	idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
  	grep.  Do not create useless dummy source files.
  	* tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
  	stdout.  Minor cosmetic changes.

  	generated tests.
  
  	Tests defs: truly get rid of `$am_defs_included' (unused variable)
  	 * tests/defs.in ($am_defs_included): Remove, its now unused.  It
  	should have been removed in a previous changeset, but the removal
  	was done only partially (oversight).
  
  2010-06-12  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	Remove a couple of unneeded conditionals from tests.
  	* tests/pr243.test, tests/pr266.test, tests/strip.test: No need

  	changes.
  	* tests/pluseq.test: Likewise.  Also, do not create useless dummy

  	AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am.
  	* tests/ansi.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
  	changes.  Extended, esp. by running autoconf, ./configure and
  	make, and by looking into the distdir.
  
  2010-06-12  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  	    Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
  	* tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
  	Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
  	test scripts can indeed be useful.
  
  2010-06-11  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
  	* bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way
  	autoconf does.
  
  	Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
  	* bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation.  Cosmetic
  	improvement to comments.
  	($me): New variable, containing program basename.
  	Prepend it to all error messages.
  
  	Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
  	* tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
  	which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
  	which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
  	This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
  	is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
  
  2010-06-09  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
  	* tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
  	`./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
  	* tests/depend2.test: Likewise.  Also, call `set -e' just after
  	the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
  	* tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
  	$AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
  	* tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
  	Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
  	These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
  	* tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
  	* tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
  	rather than in the middle.

  	`./defs', instead that later in the script.
  	* tests/extra5.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/confdeps.test: Likewise.  Also, prefer `mv -f' over
  	plain `mv', just to be sure.
  	* tests/depcomp.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
  	changes.  Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
  	* tests/cond9.test: Likewise.  Also, rely on the `configure.in'
  	stub created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
  	* tests/cond10.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/depcomp2.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/fortdep.test: Likewise.  Also, remove definition of
  	AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
  	since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
  	* tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
  	actually failed, and by	making a stricter grep on the error
  	message.  Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
  	* tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
  
  	Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
  	* tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.
  	Enable `errexit' shell flag.

  	    Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	Fix error in generation of parallel tests.
  	* tests/defs.in ($am_skip_defs): New variable, to be used when
  	./defs must be sourced multiple times.  If set, unset it and
  	only define $srcdir; otherwise, also go through the rest of
  	the script.
  	($am_defs_included): Remove, no more needed.
  	* tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Update accordingly,
  	using only $srcdir from defs.
  	Fixes potential test failures of tests that use $required.
  
  2010-06-08  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Enable `errexit' shell flag in some test scripts.
  	* tests/subcond.test: Enabled `errexit' shell flag, and related
  	minor changes.

  	command substitution.
  	* tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
  	command substitution.
  	* tests/version.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
  	in the generated `configure.in'.

  	    Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	Improve declaration of dependencies in the testsuite.
  	* tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Remove.  Instead, let ...
  	($(TEST_LOGS)): ... all test logs depend on the scripts.
  	* test/gen-parallel-tests: For each parallel test foo-p.test,
  	let `foo-p.log' also depend on `foo.test', since it is sourced.
  
  2010-06-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	Coverage for TAGS_DEPENDENCIES warning.

  	* tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit.  Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
  	the verbose log contains all output.
  	* tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
  	Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
  
  2010-06-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	More minor message fixes.

  	    Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	Fix distcheck failure with distributed generated parallel tests.
  	* tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Cope with $(srcdir)
  	being different from the value at developer `make dist' time.
  	* tests/defs.in: Protect against mutiple inclusion, by using ...
  	($am_defs_included): ... this new variable.
  	($srcdir): Do not compute, but simply define to `@abs_srcdir@'
  	as substituted by configure.
  	Report, suggestions and first fix by Ralf Wildenhues, final
  	patch by Stefano Lattarini.

  	Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
  	* tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
  	`if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
  	fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
  	Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
  	known extension EXT.

  	* 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.

  	* tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/silent4.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 slightly 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.

  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>

  	* 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'.
  
  	Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
  	* 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

  	(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.

  	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:

  2010-04-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
  
  	Print 'warnings are treated as errors' note if needed.

  	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

  	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.

  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.

  	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
  	Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
  
  2010-04-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

  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.

  	Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
  	Suggested by Karl Berry.
  
  2010-03-13  Karl Berry  <karl@freefriends.org>

  	* doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
  	change.
  
  2010-03-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

  	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').

  	behaviour.  Some other minor related improvements.
  	* tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
  
  2010-03-04  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
  
  	Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
  	* tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
  	already unset in the `defs' file.
  	* tests/check5.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/check8.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/check9.test: Likewise.
  	* tests/check10.test: Likewise.

  	* lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
  	expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
  	to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
  	%VERBOSE-NODEP%.
  	* automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
  	`@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
  	(handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to

  	Fix test acoutbs2.test.
  	* tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls
