+
+ dist: separate auxiliary file instantiation from DIST_COMMON update
+ This change simplifies the automake internals dealing with the
+ checking, copying and distributing of required auxiliary files.
+ With this change, a required auxiliary file is *unconditionally*
+ added to the contents of the DIST_COMMON variable in the generated
+ Makefile.in, before checking whether it exists, or trying to copy
+ it (if `--add-missing' is in use). This shouldn't be a problem,
+ since if the checking or copying of the file fails, automake will
+ bail out, the Makefile.in won't be created, and thus its content
+ will not matter. OK, this is not completely true when threaded
+ automake is in use, but then, such a situation was also possible
+ before this patch, so no regression here, which is enough for us.
+ This change is the first of a series of steps aimed at fixing
+ the regression introduced in threaded automake usage by commit
+ `v1.11-1219-g326ecba'.
+ * automake.in (require_file_internal): Add the required file to
+ DIST_COMMON unconditionally.
+ * tests/missing-auxfile-stops-makefiles-creation.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

+ * automake.in (handle_dist): Files whose distribution is required

+
+ dist: simplify automake code accordingly to the previous changes
+ After the previous change `v1.11-1219-g326ecba', every Makefile.am
+ requiring a file in the "config auxdir" will cause it to be listed
+ in the DIST_COMMON variable of the corresponding generated
+ Makefile.in, not only of the top-level Makefile.in. Thus we don't
+ need to worry anymore about trying to distribute files in the
+ config auxdir from the top-level Makefile or the Makefile in
+ config auxdir (if any). This allows us to carry out some useful
+ simplifications in the automake script.
+ This will however cause some changes in the generated Makefile;
+ for example, if the `PROGRAMS' primary is used only in a subdir
+ Makefile.am, the `depcomp' script will be distributed only by
+ `subdir/Makefile', not by the top-level Makefile. This change
+ can be seen as an internal detail though, and definitely warranted
+ by the nice simplifications the current commit provides.
+ * automake.in ($automake_will_process_aux_dir): Variable removed.
+ (scan_autoconf_files): Adjust and simplify.
+ (handle_makefiles_threaded): Likewise.
+ (get_number_of_threads): Likewise.
+ (require_file_internal): Likewise.
+ (maybe_push_required_file): Its return value is not used anymore,
+ so return nothing. Add special handling for distributed files from
+ `$config_libobj_dir'. Also, catch "this can't happen" situations,
+ and abort accordingly. Fix function description to better fit its
+ new role.
+ * tests/libobj19.test: Extend to also check situations where the
+ Makefile.am using $(LIBOBJS) is not the top-level one.
+ * tests/distcom6.test: Delete, merged into ...
+ * tests/distcom2.test: ... this test, which has been update to
+ account for the changed automake semantics.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+ * NEWS: Update.

+
+ dist: auxiliary files can be distributed from subdir Makefiles
+ With this change, we make it possible for a subdir Makefile.am
+ to distribute files in the config auxdir; while this means that
+ some files might be copied multiple times, it simplify some logic
+ in the automake script, and fix at least one important bug. In
+ fact, before this change, the auxiliary script `test-driver' was
+ not being distributed as expected when TESTS was defined only in
+ a subdir Makefile (which is a pretty common setup indeed). Now
+ this does not happen anymore: so the present change fixes automake
+ bug#9546.
+ Another welcome collateral effect is that `dist-auxfile-2.test'
+ now passes.
+ OTOH, the present changes *breaks threaded automake*. The reason
+ is that automake needs to serialize file installations spawned
+ by `--add-missing' (this isn't for cosmetic reasons, but is
+ really needed to avoid possible race conditions and botched output
+ files). Currently the code that installs required files is
+ intertwined with the code that declares the DIST_COMMON variables;
+ so, upon de-serialization, the definition of DIST_COMMON might get
+ emitted in the wrong Makefile.in.
+ Some follow-up refactoring in automake will soon take care of
+ remedying this situation. For the moment, we just declare some
+ "parallel-am" tests as xfailing.
+ * automake.in (maybe_push_required_file): Add ad-hoc handling for
+ the case where the directory part of the required file is different
+ from the subdir where the current Makefile.am resides, but is equal
+ to the "config-aux directory" ($config_auxdir). This is needed to
+ allow a construct in a non-top-level Makefile.am to require a file
+ in the config-aux directory.
+ * tests/test-driver-is-distributed.test: Extend and adjust. This
+ test now passes.
+ * tests/java-compile-run-nested.test: Call automake with the `-a'
+ option to ensure that the `test-driver' auxiliary script gets
+ correctly installed. This test now passes.
+ * tests/distcom-subdir.test: New test.
+ * tests/dist-readonly.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/dist-repeated.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/dist-auxdir-many-subdirs.test: Likewise.
