2009-12-29 Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
Fix and complete copyright notices in Makefile.am files.
* Makefile.am: Use single-`#' comment for copyright notice, so
that it also appears in the generated Makefile.in file.
* doc/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* doc/amhello/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* doc/amhello/src/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* lib/Automake/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* lib/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* lib/am/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* m4/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add copyright notice.
Report of missing copyright notice by Stefano Lattarini.
2009-12-27 Stefano Lattarini <[email protected]>
Fixed typo in Makefile.am (extra semicolon removed)
* Makefile.am (sc_diff_automake_in_automake): Removed an extra
semicolon in target's rules, which prevented a stdout redirection
from working.
2009-12-21 Julien Danjou <[email protected]> (tiny change)
Add support for newer python version
* m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python3.1 to
_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST.
2009-12-21 Karl Berry <[email protected]>
mention ncftpput in gnupload --help
* lib/gnupload: Mention ncftpput in `--help' output.
Report by Bruce Korb.
2009-12-06 Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
* NEWS: Update.
2009-12-05 Antonio Diaz Diaz <[email protected]>
Replace unlzma, gunzip, bunzip2 with pack tool -d invocation.
* lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): Use lzma -d, gzip -d, bzip2 -d,
instead of the respective un$tool invocation, to avoid depending
on another tool.
* THANKS: Update.
2009-12-05 Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
Use $DJDIR rather than $DJGPP to detect running on DJGPP.
* automake.in (Language): Use $ENV{'DJDIR'} for the
$ENV{'SHELL'} override.
* bootstrap: Use $DJDIR for setting BOOTSTRAP_SHELL, to fix
bootstrapping under MinGW when $DJGPP has been set.
Do not rely on Perl symlink status, for MSYS perl.
* automake.in (require_file_internal): Ensure presence of
symlink target file; MSYS perl symlink doesn't return an error
status when the file could not be created (copied, on this
system). Fixes symlink.test failure.
2009-12-04 Stefano Lattarini <[email protected]>
Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
Avoid Solaris sh `set -e' bug in vala4.test.
* tests/vala4.test: New variable $cwd, holding the full path of the
current directory. Use it instead of `pwd` command substitution,
to avoid Heirloom/Solaris Sh bug with `set -e'.
2009-12-05 Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
Fix requirements of silent8.test.
* tests/silent8.test: Require makeinfo --html, tex, texi2dvi -o,
dvips.
2009-12-04 Stefano Lattarini <[email protected]>
File `automake.in' is not meant to be executed (only to be
preprocessed into `automake'), so don't leave it executable.
* automake.in: Remove executable bit.
2009-12-04 Stefano Lattarini <[email protected]>
Don't make the generated Automake's Config.pm executable.
* lib/Automake/Makefile.am (Config.pm): Don't make the generated
`Config.pm' file executable.
2009-11-28 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
do not put world-writable directories in distribution tarballs
* lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Do not make all directories
group- or world-writable. Instead, use 755.
* tests/subpkg4.test (test-distdir-is-readable): Check for new,
more restricted permissions.
2009-11-29 Karl Berry <[email protected]>
Rewrite `gnupload --help' examples.
* lib/gnupload: Use GNU style version numbers, a generic package
name, and more useful examples.
2009-11-28 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
avoid a warning from perl-5.11
* lib/Automake/Wrap.pm (_tab_length): Remove useless use of tr's
"/d" modifier.
2009-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
Distribute the Automake bootstrap script.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.
Report by Jan Engelhardt.
2009-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
Coverage for corner cases in derive_suffix.
Ensure unrelatex SUFFIXES entries and unrelated inference rules
are ignored silently.
* tests/ext3.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am: Update.
Coverage for user-provided _LINK variables.
* tests/link_override.test: New test.

* tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
Coverage: warn about configure substitution in EXTRA_PRIMARY.

Coverage: diagnose variables with forbidden dist_ prefix.
* tests/candist.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am: Update.
Coverage for conditional `else' and `endif' arguments.
* tests/cond46.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2009-10-31 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
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/subdir10.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2009-10-18 Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
Simplify Variable::_check_ambiguous_condition.
* lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_check_ambiguous_condition): No need
to check for $def since ambiguous_p returns an empty $message if
there is no other condition which is ambiguous to $cond.
Coverage for DisjConditions.pm.
* lib/Automake/tests/DisjConditions.pl (test_basics): Increase
test coverage: test ->human, ->merge, ->simplify, ->multiply.
* lib/Automake/tests/DisjConditions-t.pl (test_basics): Likewise
changes, but including state copies across thread creation.
* lib/Automake/tests/DisjCon2.pl: New test.
* lib/Automake/tests/DisjCon3.pl: Likewise.
* lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Adjust.
Coverage and fixes for Condition.pm.
* lib/Automake/Condition.pm (new): Catch common programming
errors better by checking type of passed argument before
munging them to all be strings through split.
* lib/Automake/tests/Condition.pl (test_basics): Also test
->human.
(test_merge): New function, test ->merge, ->merge_conds,
->strip.
* lib/Automake/tests/Condition-t.pl (test_basics, test_merge):
Likewise changes, but including state copies across thread
creation.
* lib/Automake/tests/Cond2.pl: New test for programming error.
* lib/Automake/tests/Cond3.pl: Likewise.
* lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Update.
Coverage for Wrap.pm.

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

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.

(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 <[email protected]>
Updated code enabling Bourne-compatibility in test scripts.
* tests/defs.in: updated the code enabling Bourne-compatibility

Avoid leaking TEST_LOG_COMPILER in environment of test scripts.
* tests/defs.in: Unset variable `TEST_LOG_COMPILER'.
2009-10-07 Stefano Lattarini <[email protected]>
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).

`--no-function-argzero', since the latter does not work with
versions 3.x of Zsh.

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

python: do not install in system directories on Darwin 9.
On Darwin 9, get_python_lib returns a path below `/Library/Python'
regardless of the `prefix' argument it was passed, causing `make
install' to target the system directories regardless of `--prefix'
argument used. Work around this Darwin bug by ignoring the result
of get_python_lib if it points outside of the passed prefix, and
the prefix was not a system directory.
* m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): If the prefix does not match the
initial portion of the pythondir returned by get_python_lib, then
ignore it unless the configured prefix is `/usr' or starts with
`/System'. Fixes instmany-python.test failure on Mac OS X 10.5.7.
* NEWS: Update.

Cope with parallel BSD make -jN semantics.
When BSD `make -jN' is used without `-B' which enables backwards

* lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): After running `distcleancheck',
change back to original working directory.
* lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_HIN%): Run autoheader in a
subshell.
* lib/am/mans.am (uninstall-man%SECTION%): Do not `exit 0' early

directory depending on the install location. Afterwards, replace
the directory names with the unexpanded values of $PYTHON_PREFIX

of the `Hard-Coded Install Paths' node.
(Multiple Outputs): Add comment to restore font-lock for vim.
Suggestion by Karl Berry.
Let XFile::lock warn and fail with parallel non-GNU make, too.
* lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Also match `-j' for parallel BSD
make, and `-P' for parallel HP-UX make.
Fix AM_PROG_VALAC version requirement detection.
* m4/vala.m4 (AM_PROG_VALAC): Remove `Vala ' from valac
--version string before comparing versions.
* tests/vala2.test: Require version 0.7.0 for the test.
Fixes failures of vala2.test and vala3.test with older valac.
Correctly treat all assignments with bogus trailing comments.
Before this patch, automake would silently fail to diagnose and
to copy into the output those variable assignments which are
preceded by a comment, and end in backslash newline comment.
* automake.in (read_am_file): When determining whether an
escaped newline followed by a comment is an error, correctly use
the parser state, not the contents of a saved comment, which
could still be carried over from a comment before an assignment.
* NEWS: Update.
* tests/commen11.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am: Update.

manual: improve markup: itemize list in `Extending'.
* doc/automake.texi (Extending): Use `@item's for user override
semantics.
2009-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
bin_PROGRAMS = $(EXTRA_PROGRAMS) should work.
* automake.in (am_install_var): For `PROGRAMS' primary, strip
`$(EXEEXT)' here already, so the name uniquifying works even
when we look at names repeatedly, with inconsistent executable
extension; through variable references, we might have added
the extension ourselves earlier.
(handle_programs): No need to strip `$(EXEEXT)' here any more.
* tests/extra8.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am: Update.
* THANKS: Update.

testsuite: do not fail on systems without read permissions.

testsuite: parallel make fixes.
This patch fixes a couple of testsuite bugs exposed with
`MAKE=make\ -jN make check'.
* tests/libtoo10.test: Do not run `clean' in same $MAKE
invocation as `all check'. Fixes test failure with parallel
NetBSD `make -jN'.
* tests/nobase.test: Be sure to create a directory before
creating files in it. Fixes test failure with MAKE=`make -jN'
for NetBSD make. This issue is hidden with parallel GNU make
due to its parallel breadth first update order.
* tests/parallel-tests3.test: Skip if $MAKE contains `-j',
GNU make will use the environment variable $MAKE for recursion
and thus run in parallel even if `$MAKE -j1' was used on the
command line in the test. Also, after running the test proper,
wait long enough so that background jobs have finished and there
are no open files left when the cleanup code runs.

silent-rules reorganization, --enable-silent-rules switch.
This patch introduces a configure-time option to set the default
verbosity. Since configure now needs to know whether the
`silent-rules' automake option was set, the latter can only be
set within AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, or with a new AM_SILENT_RULES macro
but not any more through AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or the automake
command line option `--silent-rules'.
* automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define the default verbose
variable in terms of `$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'.
(handle_configure): Do not pass `--silent-rules' to automake.
(scan_autoconf_traces): Trace `AM_SILENT_RULES'. If seen,
