+
+ Don't let an envvar setting of "$fail" cause build failure.
+ Without this change, in a project using an automake-generated
+ Makefile, "make fail=anything" would fail inappropriately,
+ due to the `test -z "$$fail"' at the end of this emitted rule:
+ * lib/am/subdirs.am ($(RECURSIVE_TARGETS)): Initialize "fail=" to keep
+ an envvar setting of that variable from causing unwarranted failure.
+ ($(RECURSIVE_CLEAN_TARGETS)): Likewise.

+ * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

+
+ Simplify Variable::_check_ambiguous_condition.

+ * lib/Automake/tests/DisjConditions.pl (test_basics): Increase

+ (test_merge): New function, test ->merge, ->merge_conds,

+
+ Perl coverage support using Devel::Cover.
+ This introduces makefile rules to run the testsuite with Perl
+ coverage enabled. It skips tests that use perl ithreads, by
+ unsetting AUTOMAKE_JOBS and setting WANT_NO_THREADS to make the
+ threaded tests skip.
+ * Makefile.am (PERL_COVERAGE_DB, PERL_COVERAGE_FLAGS)
+ (PERL_COVER): New variables.
+ (check-coverage, recheck-coverage, clean-coverage): New phony
+ targets.
+ (check-coverage-run, recheck-coverage-run): New phony helper
+ targets.
+ (clean-local): New, depend on clean-coverage.
+ * lib/Automake/tests/Condition-t.pl: Skip if WANT_NO_THREADS is
+ set.
+ * lib/Automake/tests/DisjConditions-t.pl: Likewise.
+ * tests/defs.in: New required entry 'perl-threads'.
+ * tests/parallel-am.test: Use it to skip if WANT_NO_THREADS is
+ set.
+ * tests/parallel-am2.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/parallel-am3.test: Likewise.
+
+ Add convenience `recheck' target to our toplevel Makefile.am.
+ * Makefile.am (recheck): New convenience target.
+ * tests/README: Give examples for running only failed or
+ outdated or otherwise selected tests.
+
+ dist: allow running several compressors in parallel.
+ * lib/am/distdir.am (am__post_remove_distdir): New internal
+ variable.
+ (DIST_TARGETS): New variable, set to list of chosen distribution
+ formats. Order formats by expected duration, slowest first, for
+ better parallelism.
+ (dist-gzip, dist-bzip2, dist-lzma, dist-xz, dist-tarZ)
+ (dist-shar, dist-zip): Use $(am__post_remove_distdir).
+ (dist, dist-all): Do not depend on distdir. Instead of
+ replicating each compression command, use a recursive invocation
+ to allow running all $(DIST_TARGETS) in parallel.
+ * NEWS: Update.
+ Report by Peter Breitenlohner.
+
+ Fix license headers of cscope tests to be GPLv2+.
+ * tests/cscope.test: Revert to GPL version 2.
+ * tests/cscope2.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/cscope3.test: Likewise.
+
+ Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
+ * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub,
+ lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
+
+ Doc and comment typos.
+ * automake.in (handle_ltlibraries): Fix typo in comment.
+ * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/lisp5.test: Likewise.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Usage of Conditionals): Fix typo.
+
+2009-10-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Fix race condition in werror2.test due to sanity sleep change.
+ * tests/werror2.test: Generate Makefile.in before configure so
+ that a Makefile.am update after configure has run is guaranteed
+ to be newer than Makefile.in.
+ * tests/subdir5.test: Document why this test does not need to be
+ fixed.
+ * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise.
+
+ Improve description of the various *LINK variables.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): _LINK also
+ receives libraries to link against. _LINK may be generated.
+ (Program Variables): Document reasons when per-target _LINK is
+ used instead of LINK.
+ (How the Linker is Chosen): Document how a per-target _LINK
+ variable and per-target link flags override linker selection.
+ * THANKS: Update.
+ Report by Dave Korn against gcc/libstdc++-v3.
+
+ Allow variable override of, rather than by, silent variables.
+ When overriding variables, check the VAR_SILENT status of the
+ old condition, not the new one: we allow non-silent overrides
+ of silent variables (these do not hit ordering bugs in the
+ automake output), but there is no use case for doing so the
+ other way round. Fixes conditional overrides of variables
+ annotated AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE in configure.ac.
+ * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_check_ambiguous_condition): Check
+ for VAR_SILENT in $ambig_cond not $cond.
+ * tests/cond44.test, tests/cond45.test: New tests, analogous to
+ cond23.test and cond24.test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
+ Spotted originally in binutils/bfd.
+
+ Fix `make clean check' for the Automake package.
+ * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add `.' before `tests',
+ so that Config.pm is built first.
+
+ Fix in-tree `recheck' after failed test that runs `check'.
+ If a test like pr401b-p.test fails for some reason, a `make
+ recheck' would cause another reason for failure because it sets
+ AM_MAKEFLAGS which gets propagated into the test and causes its
+ `make check' to fail.
+ * tests/defs.in: Also unset AM_MAKEFLAGS.
+
+2009-10-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Updated code enabling Bourne-compatibility in test scripts.
+ * tests/defs.in: updated the code enabling Bourne-compatibility
+ mode in the shell (now it's copied from autoconf 2.64).
+
+ Avoid leaking TEST_LOG_COMPILER in environment of test scripts.
+ * tests/defs.in: Unset variable `TEST_LOG_COMPILER'.
+
+2009-10-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Testsuite: do not use `chmod -R' when cleaning up.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Do not use `chmod -R' on
+ the test directories, as that may change or try to change the mode
+ of installed files: the test directory may contain symlinks to
+ ltmain.sh files from a Libtool installation, and Solaris `chmod -R'
+ touches symlink targets. Instead, use the cleanup strategy used
+ in distdir.am (which is also employed in tests/defs.in).
+
+2009-10-06 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
+ Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Fix 'compile' script to not call mv when target equals source.
+ * lib/compile: Don't attempt to move the generated file to its
+ target destination when it is already at the target destination.
+ Avoids an mv failure with subdir-objects.
+ * tests/ccnoco3.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
+
+2009-10-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> (tiny change)
+
+ Fix recommended way to run automake's test scripts with Zsh.
+ * tests/README (Supported shells): Changed the recommended way
+ to run automake's test scripts with Zsh. Now we tell to use
+ the Zsh's command line option `-o no_function_argzero', not
+ `--no-function-argzero', since the latter does not work with
+ versions 3.x of Zsh.
+
+2009-09-26 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Fixups and tests for cscope functionality.
+ It seems cscope is not able to take into account relative
+ file names of included cscope.files files, but it is able to
+ canonicalize file names containing '../' sequences.
+ This patch makes the cscope references relative again, and
+ fixes some corner cases.
+ * NEWS: Reword a bit.
+ * THANKS: Update.
+ * automake.in (handle_tags): Use $(am__cd). Provide default
+ empty rule for the `cscope' target, for empty sources.
+ * lib/am/tags.am (cscopelist): Construct relative path to files
+ in $(srcdir) if $(srcdir) is relative.
+ [TOPDIR_P] (cscope): Do not depend on cscope-clean. Only invoke
+ $(CSCOPE) if cscope.files is nonemtpy.
+ (clean-cscope): Rename from ...
+ (cscopeclean): ... this.
+ (cscope.files): Depend on clean-cscope.
+ (distclean-tags) [!TOPDIR_P]: No need to remove cscope files
+ here.
+ * tests/cscope.test, tests/cscope2.test, tests/cscope3.test: New
+ tests.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
+
+2009-09-25 Debarshi Ray <rishi@gnu.org>
+
+ New target to generate cscope database.
+ * automake.in (handle_tags): Handle cscope.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Tags): Document cscope.
+ * lib/am/tags.am (CSCOPE): New macro.
+ [TOPDIR_P] (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Add cscope.
+ (cscope): New target.
+ (cscopeclean): Likewise.
+ (cscope.files): Likewise.
+ (cscopelist): Likewise.
+ (distclean-tags): Remove `cscope.out', `cscope.in.out',
+ `cscope.po.out' and `cscope.files'.
+ * NEWS: Update.
+ Based upon earlier patch from Jesse Barnes.
