Also, since we are at it, make grepping + of configure help screens stricter, and throw in some few other + changes to reduce code duplication and enhance readability. + * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. + * THANKS: Update with Zack's new e-mail address. + Report and initial patch by Zack Weinberg, test cases added by + Stefano Lattarini. + +2011-10-23 Stefano Lattarini + + info: allow user to inhibit creation/update of '${infodir}/dir' + With this change, we allow the user to request the install-info + rules not to update the `${infodir}/dir' file, by exporting the + environment variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR' to the value "no". + This is especially useful to distro packagers, and is a definite + improvement over our previous hack of looking whether the + `install-info' program was the Debian or GNU version -- hack + which had been silently broken with recent versions of debian + install-info BTW (probably since dpkg 1.15.4, 2009-09-06). + This change fixes automake bug#9773. See also Debian Bug#543992. + * lib/am/texinfos.am: Don't look anymore at the output of + `install-info --version' to decide whether to use it to update + the `${infodir}/dir' or not; instead, honour the environment + variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR'. + * tests/install-info-dir.test: New test. + * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. + * tests/defs: Also unset `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR', to avoid unwanted + interferences from the environment. + * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Update. + * NEWS: Likewise. + * THANKS: Likewise. + Report by Jonathan Nieder. + +2011-10-20 Stefano Lattarini + + deps: partially revert commit `v1.11-512-geeee551' + This change partly reverts commit "Create subdirs for generated + sources even when not dep tracking", of 2011-04-02. + That commit had caused the bugs #8485 and #8526. Since we are + nearing the bug-fixing automake release 1.11.2, the safest policy + at the moment is to just revert the problematic hunks: an older, + known bug is better than a regression. + * automake.in (handle_single_transform): Don't add a dirstamp + dependency, even when $object is derived and lands in a subdir. + * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add lex-subobj-nodep.test, + remove yacc-dist-nobuild-subdir.test. + +2011-10-19 Stefano Lattarini + + dejagnu: allow the package developer to extend site.exp + Fixes automake bug#7873. + * lib/am/dejagnu.am (site.exp): Depend from the files listed in + $(EXTRA_DEJAGNU_SITE_CONFIG), if any.

In heading comments, add reference + to ... + * tests/check12.test: ... this new "semantic" test, covering + concurrent use of dejagnu tests, simple tests and `check-local' + target. + * tests/dejagnu2.test: Make test more reliable, by avoid weak + grepping of make output. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append + to configure.in. Quote literal dots in grep regexps. Prefer + `grep -c ...' over `grep ... | wc -l'. Make grepping of + automake stderr slightly stricter. Add trailing `:' command. + * tests/dejagnu3.test: Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append to + configure.in. Check stderr of expected-to-fail "make" call. + Remove extra blank lines from Makefile.am. + * tests/dejagnu4.test: Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append to + configure.in. Prefer `mv -f' over plain `mv' when the target + file already exists. Avoid extra mkdir calls by creating more + directories at once. Better use of blank lines. Check that + the `*.log' and `*.sum' files are created by runtest also when + "make check" fails. + * tests/dejagnu7.test: Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append to + configure.in. Better use of blank lines. Add a trailing `:' + command. + * tests/dejagnu6.test: Likewise, and give the dejagnu test a + more descriptive name. + * tests/dejagnu5.test: Likewise. Also, simply define package + name to `$me' rather than using a non-obvious sed script to + extract it from `AC_INIT', and write the Makefile.am with only + one command. + * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated. + +2011-10-21 Peter Rosin + + * THANKS: Fix whitespace issue. + +2011-10-18 Stefano Lattarini + + tests: fix spurious failure with FreeBSD make and Yacc in VPATH + * tests/subpkg.test: Some cosmetic adjustments.

This will prevent + a testsuite crash on NetBSD 5.1, and a testsuite hang on FreeBSD + 8.2. Also, since we are at it, try harder to avoid possible + hangs of the script in other unusual situations. + +2011-10-20 Stefano Lattarini + + tests: fix spurious failures with "chatty" make implementations + * tests/distcheck-missing-m4.test: On failure, some make + implementations (such as Solaris make) print the whole failed + recipe on standard output. This was causing a spurious failure + in the checks grepping the output from make. Work around this. + * tests/distcheck-outdated-m4.test: Likewise. + +2011-10-20 Stefano Lattarini + + tests: fix spurious failure on fast machines + * tests/aclocal-path-precedence.test: Also remove the `configure' + script between different test runs, to ensure it is always remade + by autoconf. Add proper explicative comments. + +2011-10-20 Stefano Lattarini + + tests: avoid spurious failure of 'uninstall-fail.test' on Solaris + * tests/uninstall-fail.test: All the Solaris 10 shells (/bin/sh, + /bin/ksh, and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh), upon failing to chdir to a + directory with the `cd' builtin, print a message like: + "sh: /root: permission denied" + which doesn't report the `cd' builtin anywhere. Relax the grepping + of the error message accordingly. + +2011-10-19 Stefano Lattarini + + tests: avoid spurious failure of 'uninstall-fail.test' on Cygwin + * tests/uninstall-fail.test: Be sure to really skip this test + on systems that allows files to be removed from unwritable + directories. Motivated by a spurious failure on Cygwin 1.5. + +2011-10-17 Stefano Lattarini + + tests: fix spurious failure with autoconf 2.62 + * tests/aclocal-path-precedence.test: Rewrite configure.in, + rather than appending to it, to avoid spurious failures (at + least with autoconf 2.62) due to repeated calls to AC_INIT. + Also, add package name and version arguments to AC_INIT, to + avoid spurious errors from automake. + +2011-10-16 Stefano Lattarini + + docs: avoid using colon character inside arguments of @pxref + Fixes automake bug#9753 + * doc/automake.texi (VPATH Builds): Avoid using colon character + `:' inside arguments of @pxref, as this can cause problems in + the generated `.info' files, and such an usage will be explicitly + forbidden by future texinfo documentation. + * THANKS: Update. + Reported by Дилян Палаузов. + +2011-10-07 Stefano Lattarini + + parallel-tests: warn on conditional TEST_EXTENSIONS definition + Before this change, automake would have still bailed out, but + with a confusing error message (about an invalid redefinition + of TEST_EXTENSIONS). + * automake.in (handle_tests): Warn explicitly if TEST_EXTENSIONS + has conditional contents. + * tests/test-extensions-con.test: New test. + * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. + * NEWS: Update. + +2011-10-06 Stefano Lattarini + + parallel-tests: don't allow @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS + Even after the last commit `v1.11-476-g90bea64', the checks + performed by automake on entries in $(TEST_EXTENSIONS) tried to + allow for @substitited@ stuff. This however ends up allowing + quite brittle setups, which, most importantly, are of no real + practical usefulness anyway. So it's better to just disallow + @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS altogether, offering a clear + error message, instead of risking weird bugs and unexpected + behaviors in the generated Makefile.in. + * automake.in ($TEST_EXTENSION_PATTERN): Turned from a regular + expression ... + (is_valid_test_extension): ... into this subroutine. Don't allow + generic @substitutions@ anymore (possibly making an exception for + `@EXEEXT@' under the proper circumstances). + * tests/test-extensions.test: Adjust and extend. + 2011-10-06 Stefano Lattarini tests: fix spurious failure in 'insthook.test'
