+ 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.

+
+ tests: few more checks on automatic remake support
+ * tests/remake-all-1.test: New test, check that the "all" target
+ triggers rebuilt of outdated Makefiles.
+ * tests/remake-all-2.test: Likewise, but for when the makefiles
+ are not named `Makefile'.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

+
+ tests: check some remake features with non-GNU make too
+ * tests/acloca14.test ($required): Drop "GNUmake". This test
+ works as-is with non-GNU make implementations.
+ * tests/remake1a.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/aclocal4.test ($required): Drop "GNUmake".
+ Modify the test to have it work also with non-GNU make.
+ * tests/remake5.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/remake8a.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/remake8b.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/remake9a.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/remake9b.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/remake9c.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/remake9d.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/remake10a.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/remake10b.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/remake10c.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/remake12.test: ($required): Drop "GNUmake".
+ Adapt the test to make it work also with non-GNU make (if
+ it supports an "include" directive).

+
+ tests: extend tests on dependency tracking with VPATH
+ * tests/depmod-tests.sh: New script, fulfilling a threefold role:
+ 1. it is called to generate a Makefile.am snippet, containing the
+ definition of proper lists of tests;
+ 2. it is called to set up a directory containing some common data
+ files and autotools-generated files used by the aforementioned
+ tests (this is done for speed reasons only); and
+ 3. it is called to properly run those tests, one at a time.
+ * tests/depcomp9.test: Delete, it's obsolete now.
+ * tests/depcomp10.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/depmod-tests.am): Include this
+ snippet, which defines ...
+ (depmode_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list of the
+ newly generated `*.depmod' tests.
+ (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): Add `.depmod'.
+ (DEPMOD_LOG_COMPILER): Define. It calls `depmod-tests.sh', so that
+ the "depmode tests" will be executed by passing that driver script
+ a proper parameter.
+ ($(depmod_tests)): New dependency declaration (dummy, but required
+ in order to have make actually produce expected log files from the
+ `.depmod.log' suffix rule).
+ (TESTS): Add $(depmod_tests).
+ (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute depmod-tests.sh.
+ Other minor cosmetic changes and reorderings.
+ * bootstrap: Generate depmod-tests.am.
+ * tests/.gitignore: Updated.

+
+ tests: avoid extra test generation (for `instspc' tests)
+ We don't really need to generate tons and tons of wrapper test
+ scripts (presently, ~ 90) just to run what is basically a single
+ test (specifically, `instspc-tests.sh') with different parameters.
+ In fact, the possibility of running a single driver script with
+ multiple files/configurations/parameters is one of the major
+ selling points of the 'parallel-tests' testsuite driver of
+ automake. So why not use ourselves more extensively the best
+ features we provide?
+ * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Update heading comments. Expect
+ to be executed, not sourced. Update handling of command-line
+ arguments. Adjust to reflect the renaming of "instspc tests"
+ from `instspc-*.test' to `*.instspc'.
+ * tests/instspc-data.test: Update heading comments. Execute
+ driver script `instspc-tests.sh', instead of sourcing it.
+ Give more informative messages in case of internal errors.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): Define explicitly (to
+ `.test' and `.instspc').
+ (TESTS): Add `$(instspc_tests)'.
+ (generated_tests): Remove `$(instspc_tests)'.
+ (INSTSPC_LOG_COMPILER): Define. Calls `instspc-tests.sh', so
+ that the "instspc tests" will be now executed by passing that
+ driver script a proper parameter.
+ ($(instspc_tests)): Remove, we don't need anymore to generate
+ this tests.
+ ($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): Remove, substituted by ...
+ ($(instspc_tests:.instspc=.log)): ... this.
+ ($(instspc_tests)): New dependency declaration (dummy, but
+ required in order to have make actually produce expected log
+ files from the `.instspc.log' suffix rule).
+ (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES, generated_tests): Don't extend with
+ $(instspc_tests) anymore.
+ Update comments.
+
+2011-05-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ build: improve the definition of the list of testcases
+ * tests/Makefile.am (handwritten_tests): New variable.
+ (generated_tests): Likewise.
+ (TESTS): Redefine as the union of the above.
+ (EXTRA_DIST): Extend using $(handwritten_tests) and
+ $(generated_tests) rather than $(TESTS).
+ * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Update accordingly, and
+ make more robust.
+
+2011-05-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests skips: shorter and clearer messages
+ * tests/defs: Use shorter messages when giving reasons for test
+ skipping; it turns out these shorter messages are also clearer.
+ If more info might be useful, send them to the log file only.
