+
+ Update docs w.r.t. warning and strictness options.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Strictness): Document that some warnings are
+ turned off by default in `foreign' strictness.
+ (Options): Divide into new sections "Options generalities" and
+ "List of Automake options". Fix typo (colon instead of full
+ stop). Document option precedence (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS wins over
+ AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE which wins over command line). Also document
+ interactions between options specifying strictness and those
+ specifying warnings.
+
+ More tests on warnings/strictness precedence.
+ * tests/warning-groups-win-over-strictness.test: New test, similar
+ to `warnings-win-over-strictness.test', but checking the explicit
+ catch-all warning flags (like `-Wall' and `-Wnone').
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+ Update NEWS about the warnings-over-strictness precedence.
+ * NEWS: Automake explicit warning levels always take precedence
+ over the implicit warning levels implied by Automake strictness.
+
+ For PR automake/547:
+ Warnings win over strictness in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
+ Ensure that, for what concerns the options specified in
+ AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS, explicitly-defined warnings always take
+ precedence over implicit strictness-implied warnings.
+ This finally fixes Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
+ * automake.in (handle_options): Call 'process_option_list'
+ only once per set of options.
+ * lib/Automake/Options.pm (process_global_option_list,
+ process_option_list): Add sanity checks.
+ ($_options_processed, $_global_options_processed): New
+ internal variables, used by the sanity checks above.
+ * tests/warnings-win-over-strictness.test: Extend.
+
+ For PR automake/547:
+ Change signature of 'Automake::Options::_process_option_list()'.
+ This only modifies internal details in the automake implementation,
+ bearing no externally visible effect, but preparing the way for the
+ final fix of Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
+ * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept as
+ arguments a list of hash references with keys 'option' and 'where',
+ where 'option' is an option as might occur in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or
+ AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and 'where' is the location where it occurred.
+ (process_option_list, process_global_option_list): Updated.
+ * automake.in (handle_options, scan_autoconf_traces): Update.
+
+ Add more tests about AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
+ In view of soon-to-follow refactorings (still in the pursuit of a
+ fix for Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547), add some more tests on
+ AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS support, to prevent obvious regressions.
+ * tests/amopts-variable-expansion.test: New test.
+ * tests/amopts-location.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+ For PR automake/547:
+ Warnings win over strictness in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
+ This change ensures that, for what concerns the options specified
+ in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, explicitly-defined warnings always take
+ precedence over implicit strictness-implied warnings. Related to
+ Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
+ * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Parse explicit
+ warnings only after the strictness level has been set. Fix POD
+ documentation.
+ * tests/warnings-win-over-strictness.test: Extend.
+
+ For PR automake/547:
+ Warnings win over strictness on command line.
+ Ensure that, on the command line at least, explicitly defined
+ warnings always take precedence over implicit strictness-implied
+ warnings. Related to Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
+ * automake.in (parse_arguments): Parse warnings only after the
+ strictness level has been processed.
+ * tests/gnuwarn.test: Update, plus miscellaneous improvements.
+ * tests/warnings-win-over-strictness.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+ More tests on warnings and strictness.
+ * tests/warnings-strictness-interactions.test: New test.
+ * tests/warnings-unknown.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+ New test on silent-rules mode and portability warnings.
+ * tests/silent-nowarn.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+ Add new tests on strictness and warnings precedence and overriding.
+ * tests/strictness-override.test: New test.
+ * tests/strictness-precedence.test: New test.
+ * tests/warnings-override.test: New test.
+ * tests/warnings-precedence.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

+ Fix remake rule-induced test failures with HP-UX make.
+ * tests/remake1a.test: Require GNU make.

+
+ Fix remake rule-induced test failures with HP-UX make.
+ * tests/colon6.test: Update timestamp of subdir Makefile, so we
+ do not spuriously invoke the nonexistent toplevel am--refresh
+ rule.
+
+ tests: fix typos in colon6.test
+ * tests/colon6.test: Fix typos.

+
+ Fix libobj2.test failure with non-GNU make: define $(AR).

+
+ tests: avoid spurious failures due to fork failure in test setup
+ * tests/defs: Ensure $me is always nonempty, to avoid spurious
+ failures on MinGW/MSYS in case the preceding sed command could
+ not be spawned.
+
+ Avoid configure warnings from wait about reused PIDs.
+ * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Hide wait stderr output.
+ Fixes spurious failure of depcomp2.test.
