+ tests: fix spurious failure with Solaris make
+ * tests/distcheck-configure-flags-am.test: Avoid using `+=' too
+ liberally with AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, since the line breaks
+ so introduced, in conjunction with single quotes, might confuse
+ Solaris make.
+
+2011-08-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ maintcheck: fix maintainer-check failures, both real and spurious
+ * tests/amhello-binpkg.test: Use "$MAKE", not bare "make".
+ * Makefile.am (sc_perl_local): Also allow perl special variable
+ `$~' to be localized. And be slightly laxer in the regexp, to
+ allow for usages like "local $_ = $foo;".
+ (sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline): Also allow for command
+ line overriding of the `DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS' make variable. Try
+ to avoid false positives for usages like "$MAKE || st=$?".

+
+ docs: how to use '-I' option in AM_CPPFLAGS for best VPATH support
+ * doc/automake.texi (Program Variables): Recommend -I options to

+
+2011-07-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests: relax a test on amhello examples to cater to Solaris tar
+ * tests/amhello-binpkg.test: When the tar implementation in use
+ is not GNU tar, relax the tests on tar output, to avoid spurious
+ failures. For example, "tar cvf ..." with GNU tar can output
+ lines like "./usr/bin/hello" on the standard output, while with
+ Solaris tar it can output lines like "a ./usr/bin/hello 8K" on
+ standard output, and with Heirloom tar it can output lines like
+ "a ./usr/bin/hello 15 tape blocks" on standard error.

+2011-07-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests: fix weakness in 'tests-environment-backcompat.test'
+ * tests/tests-environment-backcompat.test: Do not override the
+ content of xfailing test `baz.test' with a "weaker" version that
+ fails unconditionally: the test must fail only when the 'strict'
+ pragma is in use, in order not to reduce coverage.

+ docs, tests: synchronize examples on silent-rules from config.site

+
+ tests: portability fixes in tests on amhello examples
+ * tests/amhello-binpkg.test: Don't use "tar xzf too.tag.gz" to
+ extract a gzip-compressed tarball, that's unportable to some
+ tar implementations; use the "gzip -dc fo.tar.gz | tar xf -"
+ idiom instead.
+ * tests/amhello-cflags.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/amhello-cross-compile.test: Likewise.
+ Suggestion from Ralf Wildenhues.

+ distributed files to avoid a footnote. Since we are at it, extend
+ a bit, and add an example and a reference to a relevant test case.
+
+2011-06-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ docs: minor cosmetic fixes
+ * doc/automake.texi: Break few overly long lines, throughout the
+ file.
+ ("Simple Tests"): Move @vindex for XFAIL_TESTS to the correct
+ position, i.e., before and not after the paragraph where it is
+ introduced.

+
+ check: don't use multi-line coloring for the report
+ "less -R" can't handle multi-line coloring as it is done for the
+ check reports of the serial and parallel testsuite, because of
+ performance reasons. Thus, color each line of the check report
+ by its own.
+ * lib/am/check.am (am__text_box): Accept colors for lines, and
+ color each line by its own.
+ [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] $(TEST_SUITE_LOG): Let am__text_box handle
+ the line coloring.
+ [!%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] $(check-TESTS): Color each report line by
