+ tests: fix spurious failure with FreeBSD make and Yacc in VPATH
+ * tests/subpkg.test: Some cosmetic adjustments. Move the tests
+ checking that $(YLWRAP) is defined and installed properly when
+ ylwrap is in a default auxdir found in a parent package ...
+ * tests/subpkg-yacc.test: ... into this new test, which carefully
+ avoids to trigger the known bug#7884 (combo FreeBSD make plus Yacc
+ plus VPATH build).
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

+
+ tests: avoid spurious failure in 'parallel-tests3.test'
+ This fixes automake bug#8788.
+ * tests/parallel-tests3.test: To ensure that the serial run of
+ the dummy testsuite is still ongoing when the parallel run has
+ terminated, use `kill -0', not a bare `kill'. This will prevent
+ a testsuite crash on NetBSD 5.1, and a testsuite hang on FreeBSD
+ 8.2. Also, since we are at it, try harder to avoid possible
+ hangs of the script in other unusual situations.

+
+ tests: fix spurious failures with "chatty" make implementations
+ * tests/distcheck-missing-m4.test: On failure, some make
+ implementations (such as Solaris make) print the whole failed
+ recipe on standard output. This was causing a spurious failure
+ in the checks grepping the output from make. Work around this.
+ * tests/distcheck-outdated-m4.test: Likewise.
+
+ 2011-10-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests: fix spurious failure on fast machines
+ * tests/aclocal-path-precedence.test: Also remove the `configure'
+ script between different test runs, to ensure it is always remade
+ by autoconf. Add proper explicative comments.
+
+ 2011-10-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests: avoid spurious failure of 'uninstall-fail.test' on Solaris
+ * tests/uninstall-fail.test: All the Solaris 10 shells (/bin/sh,
+ /bin/ksh, and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh), upon failing to chdir to a
+ directory with the `cd' builtin, print a message like:
+ "sh: /root: permission denied"
+ which doesn't report the `cd' builtin anywhere. Relax the grepping
+ of the error message accordingly.

+
+ tests: avoid spurious failure of 'uninstall-fail.test' on Cygwin
+ * tests/uninstall-fail.test: Be sure to really skip this test
+ on systems that allows files to be removed from unwritable
+ directories. Motivated by a spurious failure on Cygwin 1.5.

+ 2011-10-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests: fix spurious failure with autoconf 2.62
+ * tests/aclocal-path-precedence.test: Rewrite configure.in,
+ rather than appending to it, to avoid spurious failures (at
+ least with autoconf 2.62) due to repeated calls to AC_INIT.
+ Also, add package name and version arguments to AC_INIT, to
+ avoid spurious errors from automake.

+
+ docs: avoid using colon character inside arguments of @pxref
+ Fixes automake bug#9753
+ * doc/automake.texi (VPATH Builds): Avoid using colon character
+ `:' inside arguments of @pxref, as this can cause problems in
+ the generated `.info' files, and such an usage will be explicitly
+ forbidden by future texinfo documentation.
+ * THANKS: Update.

+
+ parallel-tests: warn on conditional TEST_EXTENSIONS definition
+ Before this change, automake would have still bailed out, but
+ with a confusing error message (about an invalid redefinition
+ of TEST_EXTENSIONS).
+ * automake.in (handle_tests): Warn explicitly if TEST_EXTENSIONS
+ has conditional contents.
+ * tests/test-extensions-con.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
+ * NEWS: Update.
+

+
+ parallel-tests: don't allow @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS
+ Even after the last commit `v1.11-476-g90bea64', the checks
+ performed by automake on entries in $(TEST_EXTENSIONS) tried to
+ allow for @substitited@ stuff. This however ends up allowing
+ quite brittle setups, which, most importantly, are of no real
+ practical usefulness anyway. So it's better to just disallow
+ @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS altogether, offering a clear
+ error message, instead of risking weird bugs and unexpected
+ behaviors in the generated Makefile.in.
+ * automake.in ($TEST_EXTENSION_PATTERN): Turned from a regular
+ expression ...
+ (is_valid_test_extension): ... into this subroutine. Don't allow
+ generic @substitutions@ anymore (possibly making an exception for
+ `@EXEEXT@' under the proper circumstances).
+ * tests/test-extensions.test: Adjust and extend.
+
+ 2011-10-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests: fix spurious failure in 'insthook.test'
+ * tests/insthook.test (Makefile.am): Add a proper `uninstall-hook'
+ target to remove the symlink created by the `install-exec-hook'
+ target; this prevents "make distcheck" from failing spuriously.
+ Since we are at it, delete an extra blank line, and add a trailing
+ `:' command.
+
+ 2011-10-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ maintcheck: fix spurious failure
+ * lib/am/distdir.am: Use `$(infodir)', not `${infodir}', to avoid
+ complaints from the `sc_no_brace_variable_expansions' maintainer
+ check.
+
+2011-10-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ * tests/yacc-dist-nobuild.test: Add reference to relevant bug#7884.
