        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  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

        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  <julien@danjou.info>  (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  <karl@freefriends.org>

        mention ncftpput in gnupload --help
        * lib/gnupload: Mention ncftpput in `--help' output.
        Report by Bruce Korb.

2009-12-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * NEWS: Update.

2009-12-05  Antonio Diaz Diaz  <ant_diaz@teleline.es>

        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  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        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  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
            Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        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  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Fix requirements of silent8.test.
        * tests/silent8.test: Require makeinfo --html, tex, texi2dvi -o,
        dvips.

2009-12-04  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

        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  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

        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  <meyering@redhat.com>

        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  <karl@freefriends.org>

        Rewrite `gnupload --help' examples.
        * lib/gnupload: Use GNU style version numbers, a generic package
        name, and more useful examples.

2009-11-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

        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  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Distribute the Automake bootstrap script.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.
        Report by Jan Engelhardt.

2009-11-14  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        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 substitutions that need EXTRA_PRIMARY.
        * tests/extra9.test: New test.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.

        Coverage: warn about configure substitution in EXTRA_PRIMARY.
        * tests/subst5.test: New test.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

        Coverage for syntax errors with conditionals in included fragments.

        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  <meyering@redhat.com>
            Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        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  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        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.
        * lib/Automake/tests/Wrap.pl (@tests): Add test for word with
        trailing space.
        (test_makefile_wrap, @makefile_tests): New function, new list of
        tests, to test makefile_wrap.

        Coverage for Version.pm.
        * lib/Automake/tests/Version.pl (test_version_compare): Also
        try Automake::Version::check for the version pairs, taking into
        account the special-case naming of code forks.
        (@tests): Add more test cases.
        (test_bad_versions, @bad_versions): New function, new test cases,
        to ensure bad version strings are rejected.
        * lib/Automake/tests/Version2.pl: New test.
        * lib/Automake/tests/Version3.pl: Likewise.
        * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tests here ...
        (XFAIL_TESTS): ... and here, new.

        Pod coverage for Perl modules.
        * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (parse_warnings): Fix
        typo in Pod documentation.
        * lib/Automake/Condition.pm: Add a couple of missing `=back'
        lines.
        (_has): Renamed from ...
        (has): ... this, as this is an internal method.
        (strip, false, true_when): Adjust callers.
        * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add Pod `Functions' section with
        documentation for find_configure_ac and require_configure_ac.
        * lib/Automake/Location.pm: Fix typo in Pod.  Add `Methods'
        section, document methods.
        * lib/Automake/RuleDef.pm: New `Methods' Pod section.
        * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm: Document `raw_value'.
        * lib/Automake/Wrap.pm (_tab_length): Rename from ...
        (tab_length): ... this, as this is an internal method.
        (wrap): Adjust callers.
        * lib/Automake/XFile.pm: Reorganize Pod a bit, add `Methods'
        section.

2009-10-17  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        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.

2009-09-25  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Use silent-rules for building the Automake package.
        * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Add silent-rules option.
        * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal, INSTALL): Add silencing
        variables to recipe.
        * doc/Makefile.am (update_mans, $(srcdir)/aclocal.1)
        ($(srcdir)/automake.1, $(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): Likewise.
        * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (Config.pm): Likewise.
        * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/parallel-tests.am)
        ($(parallel_tests), defs-p): Likewise.

        * tests/Makefile.am: Add silent8.test.
        * tests/silent8.test: New test: tests that silent texinfo rules
        produce quiet messages.

        Avoid sleeping for one second most of the time in sanity check.
        * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Try sanity check first without
        sleeping for a second, and only if that failed, sleep and try
        again, to avoid the delay in the common case of a configure
        script that is older than a second, or a system with sub-second
        time stamp granularity.

        tests/README: warn about zsh incompatibilities.
        * tests/README (User interface, Getting details from failures):
        Explicitly state that every test is a "shell script", not just
        a "script", and that it's run by `/bin/sh' by default.
        * tests/README (User interface, Supported shells): New subsection,
        telling about expected portability of the automake test scripts,
        describing a zsh incompatibility (w.r.t. $0), and a workaround to
        it (with the `--no-function-argzero' option).

        testsuite: fix a minor glitch.
        * tests/defs.in (exit trap): Use `$me', not `$as_me', as the

        testsuite: unset installation directory variables.
        * tests/defs.in: Before test execution, be sure to unset all
        installation directory variables, so they cannot have an effect
        on a `make -e install' command within a test.
        Report by Dagobert Michelsen.

        testsuite: do not change the mode of installed Libtool files.
        * tests/defs.in: Do not use `chmod -R' on the test directory, 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.
        * NEWS: Update.
        Report by Dagobert Michelsen.

        testsuite: do not fail in cleanup code.
        * tests/defs.in: Turn off errexit in the cleanup trap, to avoid

2009-05-23  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        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.

        Clarify how to enable `silent-rules' and other global options.
        * doc/automake.texi (Options): When introducing options, be more
        careful to note that not all of them can be specified in
        AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS statements, and that some do not make sense in
        subdirectories.  Note more prominently that `silent-rules' can
        only be specified in configure.ac.
        * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Improve error
        message for `silent-rules', `tar-v7', `tar-ustar', `tar-pax'

        * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Use `$(am__cd)' instead
        of plain `cd'.
        * tests/vala2.test: Use `rm -f' instead of `rm'.

        Revert Automake license to GPLv2+.
        Automake will move to GPLv3+ once the Exception statement has
        been rewritten to use the new GPLv3 exception language.  This
        change does not impact the COPYING file that may be installed
        by `automake --add-missing'.

        * NEWS: Update.

        * NEWS: Rewrite, merging 1.10b and 1.10c entries.

        Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
        * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from

        Update release statistics, improve release-stats rule.
        * Makefile.am (release-stats): Output stderr of pstops in
        addition to catching it, for better debugging.
        * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Add line for 1.10.2.

        Cope with parallel BSD make -jN semantics.
        When BSD `make -jN' is used without `-B' which enables backwards
        compatible semantics, it may reuse the same shell for several
        commands within a rule; so ensure we do not leave it in a
        different directory, nor `exit 0' early in a multi-command rule.
        * 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
        in a rule that consists of several shell invocations.  Parallel
        NetBSD `make -jN' without `-B' will use only one shell for all
        commands, but won't respawn one after `exit 0'.  Fixes
        notrans.test failure.
        * tests/makej2.test: New test.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

        Let AM_PATH_PYTHON honor python's idea about the site directory.
        * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): When computing pythondir and
        pyexecdir, pass the expanded prefix resp. exec_prefix as `prefix'
        to get_python_lib, so python can determine the name of the site
        directory depending on the install location.  Afterwards, replace
        the directory names with the unexpanded values of $PYTHON_PREFIX
        resp. $PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX again, to allow override according to
        the documentation.  Fixes site directory computation for Debian
        and Ubuntu (`dist-packages' for a prefix of `/usr' or `/usr/local',
        `site-packages' elsewhere).

2009-05-17  Jürg Billeter  <j@bitron.ch>

        Vala: Use $(srcdir) in rebuild rules.
        valac is always run in srcdir as the generated files are distributed.
        So srcdir needs to be taken into account in the rebuild rules to not
        wrongly trigger a rebuild in the wrong directory.
        * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Rebuild files in
        $(srcdir).
        * tests/vala2.test: Test rebuild rules from VPATH build.

        Vala: Add and test rebuild rules for generated header and vapi files.
        valac will generate additional files when using, for example, -H in
        VALAFLAGS. We need to recognize these options and add appropriate
        rebuild rules to fix parallel build.
        * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Recognize -H, -h,
        --header, --internal-header, --vapi, --internal-api, --gir flags
        to valac and rebuild rules for generated headers; distribute
        and maintainer-clean them.

        Vala: Fix build when using per-target VALAFLAGS.
        This does not yet implement full per-target support for VALAFLAGS,
        however, this change at least fixes building when there is only one
        target per source file, which is the most common situation.

        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.

2009-04-13  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        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,
        enable global `silent-rules' option.
        (usage): Do not document `--silent-rules'.
        (parse_arguments): Do not accept `--silent-rules'.
        * doc/automake.texi (Options): Overhaul.  Document
        AM_SILENT_RULES, --enable-silent-rules, --disable-silent-rules,
        AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY.  Show an example for user-added variables
        for less verbose output.
        (Invoking Automake): Remove documentation for `--silent-rules'.
        (Public Macros): Document `AM_SILENT_RULES'.
        * NEWS: Update.
        * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept
        `silent-rules' only as option in configure.ac.
        * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If the `silent-rules' option
        was enabled, require `AM_SILENT_RULES'; move AM_BACKSLASH
        initialization to ...
        * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): ... this new file, new macro.
        Deal with `--enable-silent-rules' switch; define
        AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY.
        * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add silent.m4.
        * tests/dollarvar.test: Remove tests for `--silent-rules', use
        `AM_SILENT_RULES'.
        * tests/flavor.test: Remove test for `--silent-rules'.
        * tests/silent.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
        `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; use `--enable-silent-rules'.
        * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
        * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
        * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
        * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.
        * tests/silent6.test: Likewise. Test `AM_SILENT_RULES' as well
        as `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([silent-rules])' instead of
        `--silent-rules'.
        * tests/silent7.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of
        `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; ensure the latter is rejected.
        Test combinations of --enable-silent-rules and
        --disable-silent-rules with `make V=0' and `make V=1'.
        Suggestion for configure-time switch by Bob Friesenhahn.

        manual: Add note about parallelism and tests ordering.
        * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):
        Dependencies between test logs work for tests with known
        extensions only.  Hint that tests should be prepared to be run
        in parallel.

        Fix maintainer-check failure.
        * tests/suffix13.test: Use Exit not exit.

2009-04-10  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        parallel-tests: more testsuite exposure.
        * tests/parallel-tests.test: Also test overriding TEST_LOGS and
        TESTS.

        parallel-tests: let VERBOSE=yes output appear before summary.
        * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): In `VERBOSE=yes' mode,
        output contents of `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' before, rather than after
        the test suite summary.  This ensures that the email address
        appears near the end of the output; also, the log file already
        starts with a result summary anyway.

        parallel-tests: `clean recheck' should not rerun all tests.
        * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-html): Do not rerun all
        tests if `$(TEST_SUITE_LOG)' does not exist.
        * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Adjust recheck test.
        * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Adjust recheck-html test.
        * NEWS: Update.

        parallel-tests: Fix driver for nonempty executable extension.
        * automake.in (handle_tests): New substitution `%am__EXEEXT%',
        defined as 'FALSE' for non-generic rules, or if no programs are
        built at all.  Otherwise, define it as configure conditional.
        * lib/am/check2.am [%am__EXEEXT%] (%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log): New
        conditional generic rule.
        * m4/init.m4: Hook an m4_provide of `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' onto
        Autoconf's `_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT' macro.
        (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If `_AM_COMPILER_EXEEXT' has been provided
        at `AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE' time, then introduce a conditional
        `am__EXEEXT', defined to true iff `$EXEEXT' is nonempty.
        * tests/check5.test: Only match `_EXEEXT_[1-9]' here, to avoid
        false positives stemming from `@am__EXEEXT_TRUE@'.
        * NEWS: Update.

        Only put LaTeX helper files in $MOSTLYCLEAN, the rest in
        $TEXICLEAN for now.

        testsuite: generate $(parallel_tests) just when needed.
        * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): No need to list
        $(parallel_tests) here, they can be generated as needed during
        the test run, following our recommendation in the manual.

        Remove superfluous line from recheck recheck-html.

        (recheck-TESTS): Rename to ...
        (recheck): ... this and rewrite, factored ...
        (recheck-html): ... with this rule.  Pass TEST_LOGS rather than
        RECHECK_LOGS to `check' and `check-html', respectively, to avoid
        running outdated tests.  Invoking the public macros ensures
        `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time.  Do not output errors
        for tests that were not run yet.  If the testsuite has not run
        at all, run all tests.
        (check-html): Run `check' target, not `check-TESTS', to ensure
        `check_SCRIPTS' etc. are created in time.
        (.PHONY, .MAKE, AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Adjust contents.

        * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests):

        parallel-tests: redo lazy checking: recheck and RECHECK_LOGS.
        Replace the LAZY_TEST_SUITE API with a simpler yet more powerful
        one: RECHECK_LOGS specifies those tests which are to be removed
        in any case before testing.  Provide a `recheck' convenience
        target to set RECHECK_LOGS to all failed and unexpectedly passed
        tests.  Document several ways to limit the set of tests run.
        * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (RECHECK_LOGS): New variable,
        default to $(TESTS_LOGS).
        (check-TESTS): Remove $(RECHECK_LOGS) not $(TEST_LOGS).  Drop use
        of LAZY_TEST_SUITE.
        ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Do not output note about lazy rerun, as
        LAZY_TEST_SUITE is gone.
        (recheck): New target.
        (recheck-am, recheck-TESTS): New internal targets.
        * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Update @vindex for TESTS and
        TEST_LOGS.  Replace description of LAZY_TEST_SUITE with a list
        of ways the set of tests to be run can be modified.  Document
        RECHECK_LOGS and the recheck target.
        * tests/defs.in: Unset RECHECK_LOGS not LAZY_TEST_SUITE.
        * tests/parallel-tests.test: Adjust, replacing LAZY_TEST_SUITE
        with corresponding RECHECK_LOGS settings.
        * tests/parallel-tests9.test: New tests.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
        Suggestion and different implementation by Akim Demaille.

        parallel-tests: do not mark check-TESTS as `.MAKE'.
        * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Remove check-TESTS.
        This rule removes files, which should not be executed with BSD
        `make -n'.

        parallel-tests: warn about $(srcdir), $(top_srcdir) in TESTS.
        * automake.in (handle_tests): Warn about portability issue
        concerning generated TESTS files listed with a `$(srcdir)/'
        or `$(top_srcdir)/' prefix.
        * doc/automake.texi (TESTS): Document this issue.  Mention that
        the parallel-tests driver is still experimental.
        * tests/parallel-tests8.test: New test.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

        check-html: Always create HTML output, note conversion failure.
        * lib/am/check.am (check-html): Create `$(TEST_SUITE_HTML)' in
        any case.  Exit unsuccessfully if HTML creation failed.
        * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Amend test to expose this.

2009-03-24  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        parallel-tests: per-extension test driver: <EXT>_LOG_COMPILER.
        For test files with extension <ext>, introduce the internal
        variable <EXT>_LOG_COMPILE, which expands to
        $(<EXT>_LOG_COMPILER) $(AM_<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS) $(<EXT>_LOG_FLAGS).
        Turn also the lib/Automake/tests testsuite over to the new
        test driver.
        * doc/automake.texi (Tests): Document `EXT_LOG_COMPILER' and
        `EXT_LOG_FLAGS'.
        * lib/am/check2.am: Insert `%COMPILE%' right before test.
        * automake.in (handle_tests): Substitute `COMPILE' for check2,
        empty for tests without extension, and `$(ext_LOG_COMPILE)' for
        extension `ext'.  In the latter case, define it from the public
        components.
        * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use `parallel-test' globally.
        * tests/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove, not needed here
        any more.
        * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Split ...
        (PL_LOG_COMPILER, PL_LOG_FLAGS): ... into these new variables.
        (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): New variable, initialize to `.pl'.
        * tests/parallel-tests7.test: New test.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
        Suggestion by Akim Demaille.

2009-03-22  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        parallel-tests: also record logs of SKIPped tests.
        * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Record
        SKIPs as well.
        Suggested by Jim Meyering.

        Minor optimization in parallel-tests text box creation.
        * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL-TESTS] (am__text_box): Use only one
        awk invocation, rather than several tools, to create a text box.
        Suggestion from Akim Demaille.

        Sane (un)install for empty directory variables.
        This patch fixes all install and uninstall rules to behave

        Ensure that empty directory variables work with empty content variables.
        This test ensures that, if both $(wheredir) and $(where_HOW) are

        For PR automake/533:
        DISTFILES containing a directory and files in that directory.
        When the source tree contains non-writable files or directories
        (as happens during distcheck), and directories or entries
        thereof are listed multiple times in variables to be
        distributed, then the corresponding directories below $(distdir)
        need to be made writable recursively.  Since file modes should
        not change, they need to be copied recursively using `cp -f'.

        This new macro lists all public targets which invoke `make'
        recursively, or depend on targets which do so.  It allows to
        prevent parallelism selectively, when multiple targets are
        passed on the `make' command line.

        empty, rather than `.log', for BSD make.
        * tests/parallel-tests6.test: New test.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

        Mark check-html and check-TESTS as recursive for BSD make.
        * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS] (.MAKE): Add check-TESTS
        and check-html prerequisites.

        Match XFAIL_TESTS correctly with Solaris make.
        * lib/am/check.am [PARALLEL_TESTS]: VPATH rewriting may have
        changed test names, so srcdir needs to be taken into account

        New tests for `parallel-tests'.
        * tests/parallel-tests.test: New file, to expose a bunch of
        features of `parallel-tests': VERBOSE, clean, TEST_SUITE_LOG,

        parallel-tests: Ensure backward-compatible semantics.
        For each test in Automake's test suite that uses TESTS, generate
        an identical one that uses the `parallel-tests' option, for
        coverage of backward-compatible functionality.
        * tests/gen-parallel-tests: New file, generates distributed
        Makefile.am snippet tests/parallel-tests.am to list all tests
        that use the TESTS interface but not yet the `parallel-tests'
        option, with names mangled to use suffix `-p.test', in ...
        (parallel_tests): ... this new make macro.
        * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/parallel-tests.am)
        ($(parallel_tests), defs-p): New rules.
        (TESTS): Add check11.test and $(parallel_tests).

        * tests/check11.test: New test, check that SKIPs are not counted
        as passed tests.
        * tests/defs.in: Unset DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS, LAZY_TEST_SUITE,
        VERBOSE, so the tests are not influenced by the way our test
        suite is invoked.

        * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Separate the creation of

        not desirable in this test.
        * tests/specflg10.test: Use BUILT_SOURCES to specify an
        intermediate target, so Solaris make knows what to do.

        testsuite: SKIP compile tests if configure found no compiler.

        [msvcmsys]: New depmode as a derivative of depmode=msvisualcpp.
        msvcmsys transforms any backslashes into forward slashes to

        Revamp semantics for `missing help2man' and manpage distribution.
        Previously, `missing help2man' would create a missing man page
        containing an error message, and exit 1.  This does not play
        well with `make': the next run will see this particular man page
        as being up to date, and will only error out on the next
        generated man page, if any; repeat until all pages are done.
        This patch changes `missing' to exit successfully in this case,
        but `make dist' will ensure that no such man pages are packaged.
        * lib/missing: Exit successfully even if we create a replacement
        page due to missing help2man.
        * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Define %HAVE-MANS% to be true
        if this makefile deals with man pages.
        * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): If %INSTALL-MAN% and %HAVE-MANS%,
        check that no man page in $(MANS) contains the replacement text
        from `missing'.

        Parallel automake --add-missing: serialized file installs.
        * automake.in (QUEUE_CONF_FILE, QUEUE_LOCATION, QUEUE_STRING):
        New serialization keys.
        ($required_conf_file_queue): New file global.
        (queue_required_conf_file, require_queued_conf_file): New
        functions, to queue and dequeue requirements for aux dir files.
        (require_conf_file): Enqueue if needed.
        (get_number_of_threads): Can do threads with --add-missing now.
        (handle_makefiles_threaded): Let worker threads enqueue, let
        master attend to queued requirements at the right time.
        * tests/parallel-am.test: Explain the purpose of the include
        chain used here.
        * tests/parallel-am2.test: Also cope with --add-missing.
        * tests/parallel-am3.test: New test, test absence of races with
        concurrent same-file installs stemming from --add-missing.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.

        Implement serialization for Locations.
        * lib/Automake/Location.pm (serialize, deserialize): New
        functions.  They allows to serialize a Location in an array, and
        to restore a Location from a thread queue.  The API is
        unsymmetric (array vs. queue) because enqueuing data needs to
        happen atomically.

        Parallel automake: ordered output messages.
        * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (%_default_options): New options
        `ordered' default enabled, `queue', default zero (no queue),
        `queue_key' default undefined.
        (_merge_options): Ensure `ordered' channels cannot have fatal
        messages or backtrace output.
        (_enqueue, _dequeue): New functions, to push messages onto a
        Thread::Queue, and output messages from such a queue, suitably
        weeded for duplicates in the same manner as _print_message.
        (_print_message): If the channel is ordered and has an
        associated queue, then enqueue messages instead of printing
        them.
        (setup_channel_queue, pop_channel_queue): New functions,
        to set a Thread::Queue for channels, and to flush a queue.
        * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Unset channel option `ordered'
        for fatal, automake, and verb channels.
        * automake.in (QUEUE_MESSAGE): New global constant, used as
        serialization key.
        (handle_makefiles_threaded): Create message queues for each
        input file; workers queue messages, and the master outputs them
        ordered, using the new Channels.pm functions.
        * tests/parallel-am.test: Also check for ordered output (in the
        absence of --add-missing races).
        * tests/parallel-am2.test: New test; check for ordered output of
        warning and (regular) error messages.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.

        Parallel automake execution: AUTOMAKE_JOBS.
        * lib/Automake/Config.in (perl_threads): New global.
        * automake.in: Use it.  If the perl supports interpreter-based
        threading, then use `threads' and `Thread::Queue'.
        (handle_makefile, handle_makefiles_serial): New functions,
        factored out from main.
        (get_number_of_threads): New function, compute number of threads
        to use, based on environment variable `AUTOMAKE_JOBS' and number
        of independent makefiles.
        (handle_makefiles_threaded): New function.  Spawn threads, use
        thread queue to distribute handling the different makefiles.
        Collect $exit_code values from threads.
        (main): Use new functions.
        * aclocal.in: No threads here.
        * configure.ac: Substitute PERL_THREADS; enabled with perl >=
        5.7.2 and when ithreads are available.
        * bootstrap (dosubst): Likewise.
        * Makefile.am (do_subst): Likewise.
        * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (do_subst): Likewise.
        * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Use `Automake::Config' and
        `threads'.
        (verb): Prepend thread ID (tid) to verbose messages.
        * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (msg): Before exiting, flush stderr,
        needed for worker threads.
        * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Also
        include the build tree path, so Config.pm is found.
        * tests/parallel-am.test: New test.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
        * doc/automake.texi (Invoking Automake): Document AUTOMAKE_JOBS.
        * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

2008-10-26  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Minor file checking optimization: set_dir_cache_file.
        * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm (set_dir_cache_file): New function.
        * automake.in (require_file_internal): Instead of resetting the
        cache when a file has been installed, simply correct the cache
        using set_dir_cache_file.

        No uniquifying for fatal, prog_error, and verbose messages.
        There is no point in dropping critical messages, even if they
        are duplicates (unlikely to happen unless they have been sent
        as non-critical messages before), and verbose messages should
        enable to show progress, even using duplicate statements.
        * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (fatal, automake, verb): Set
        `uniq_part' to `UP_NONE' when registering these channels.

        Fix 'config.status --file=... depfiles' with new Autoconf.
        * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Eval
        $CONFIG_STATUS contents if we detect the quoting used by
        Autoconf 2.62 and newer for --file=.
        * tests/depend5.test: New test.

2008-10-26  Johan Dahlin  <jdahlin@async.com.br>

        Support for Python 3.0, drop support for pre-2.0.
        * lib/py-compile: Do not import string; use sys.stdout.write
        instead of print, files.split instead of string.split.
        * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Also look for python3 and
        phython3.0; do not look for python1.5.  Use sys.stdout.write.
        (AM_PYTHON_CHECK_VERSION): Do not use string; adjust to xrange
        removal in Python 3.0, and changed semantics of map.
        * doc/automake.texi (Python, Hard-Coded Install Paths): Update
        Python versions mentioned in the manual, using 2.5 everywhere.
        * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

2008-10-22  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (@chain): Drop unused variable.

        Cleanup of per-input global variables in automake.in.
        * automake.in ($output_vars, $output_all, $output_header)
        ($output_rules, $output_trailer): Fix comment, and sort
        declarations in the order they will appear in the output.
        ($all_target): Unused variable, remove.
        (Variables not reset by &initialize_per_input.): New section,
        clarify that %am_file_cache is not reset.
        (initialize_per_input): Reset $am_file_name, $am_relative_dir,
        $in_file_name, $relative_dir, and $topsrcdir to `undef' rather
        than the empty string; $topsrcdir was not reset at all.  Sort
        remaining variables in the same order as in the section
        `Variables reset by &initialize_per_input'.

        Let stderr output end up on fd 2 in testsuite.
        * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Output recorded stderr on file
        descriptor 2.
        * tests/getopt.test: Fix erroneous multiple redirection,
        uncovered by above change.

2008-10-19  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Fix DisjConditions module to be thread-safe for perl >= 5.7.2.
        Self-hashes of blessed references are not correctly transported
        through thread creation.  This patch fixes that by recreating
        the hashes upon thread creation with a CLONE special subroutine,
        which is automatically invoked by new enough Perl versions.
        * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (CLONE): New special
        subroutine to fix self hashes upon thread creation.
        * lib/Automake/tests/Condition-t.pl: New, sister test to
        Condition.pl, but spawns a new threads after each creation of a
        new condition; skip test if perl is too old or ithreads are not
        available.
        * lib/Automake/tests/DisjConditions-t.pl: Likewise.

        consequences.

        Install nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES before bin_PROGRAMS.
        * automake.in (generate_makefile): If nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES are
        used, add an ugly hack to install them before bin_PROGRAMS, just
        like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.
        * tests/ltorder.test: Add program, to expose this.

        Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
        This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
        LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
        It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
        implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
        listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
        As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
        nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
        passed to libtool in one invocation.
        * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES) [!%?BASE%]: Do not

2008-09-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
        For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
        we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
        will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
        Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
        of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files.  There,
        lower the limit to 40, too.
        * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
        (am__base_list): New macro.
        * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%) [%?BASE%]: Use it.
        * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
        (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Likewise.

2008-09-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Use `Exit' instead of `exit' in test suite.
        Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
        `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
        * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
        use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
        Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
        `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.
        * tests/defs.in (Exit): New function.  Use it throughout,
        starting with the introduction of the exit trap.
        * tests/aclibobj.test, tests/acloca10.test, tests/acloca11.test,

2008-09-04  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Avoid Heisenbug with verbose testing on HP-UX.
        * tests/output-order.test: Remove spurious redirection line
        from output for comparison.

        For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
        Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
        extraneous output.  This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a
        relative subdir, to prevent CDPATH from entering an unwanted
        directory.
        * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fix current check for
        $(am__cd) within backquotes a bit.  Add new check for `cd' to a
        relative subdir.
        * automake.in (handle_tags, handle_configure):  Adjust rules.
        * lib/am/ansi2knr.am: Likewise.

        * lib/am/tags.am: Likewise.
        * lib/am/texibuild.am: Likewise.

        Fix nobase-python.test for BSD make.
        * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
        via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
        will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make.  So move the
        creation of the files outside of the Makefile.

2008-08-22  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Fix rebuilding of removed subdir/Makefile.in files.
        * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%) [?!TOPDIR_P?]: If
        subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
        it.  Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.
        * tests/remake6.test, tests/remake7.test: New tests.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
        * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
        Report and initial patch by Ilya N. Golubev.

2008-08-19  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/notrans.test: Use multiple man files of each type.

        * lib/am/depend.am (am__mv): New macro, set to 'mv -f'.
        * lib/am/depend2.am: Use throughout to move the temporary
        depfile *.Tpo to its final destination *.Po.

2008-06-18  Rafael Espindola  <espindola@google.com>

        * lib/config-ml.in: don't handle --enable-shared and --enable-static.

        * automake.in (handle_configure): Teach targets about the

        * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.

        For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.
        * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
        inputs where input and output name are equal.  This relies on
        the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
        (handle_configure) <CONFIG_CLEAN_VPATH_FILES>: New variable, for
        links where source and dest are equal.
        * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Remove, if build tree not
        equal source tree.
        * tests/conflnk4.test: New test.

2008-03-08  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
        With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
        to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
        This isn't yet done with base targets.  One hope is that there,
        the typical file name length is lower.  If this turns out to be
        a problem, it should be revisited.

        * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
        installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
        files keyed by their target directory.
        * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
        $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
        (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
        Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
        directory to `install'.  In the nobase case, make use of
        $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
        populating it.  Take care of files in source and build trees,
        and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
        installed.
        * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
        (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
        * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.

        * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
        (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
        to install multiple files at once.

        Do not fail if `autoupdate' is not present.
        * tests/obsolete.test: Check for presence of autoupdate.  Apparently,
        FreeBSD may install the other Autoconf programs without a version
        suffix but not autoupdate.

        Fix Heisenbug trying to unset a sometimes-not-set variable.
        * tests/check5.test: Do not error out upon `unset TESTS' due to
        `set -e', in case TESTS was not set.
        * tests/color.test: Likewise.

        * doc/automake.texi (amhello Explained): Fix odd sentence.

        resistant to different quoting styles of $1.

        Clarify texinfo.tex and TEXINFO_TEX semantics.
        * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Clarify that by default,
        texinfo.tex is searched in the same directory as the Makefile.am
        that needs it.  Clarify that TEXINFO_TEX has precedence over
        AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, and that it requires the user to install and
        distribute it.
        * tests/txinfo22.test: Ensure TEXINFO_TEX is not distributed.
        * THANKS: Update.

        happen within the same second.
        Report by Greg Schafer.

2008-01-07  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        upstream.

        * tests/ccnoco.test (Mycomp): Use a tighter match for -c -o,
        to avoid matching for example `LDFLAGS=-Wl,--sort-common'.
        * THANKS: Update.
        Report and analysis by Carsten Lohrke and Mike Frysinger.

        Fix the distdir target to cope with spaces in absolute file names.
        * lib/am/distdir.am: Quote all instances of $(distdir) and

        Bruno Haible.

        Run each test in a process-private subdirectory.

        (posix_glob): Use '?'/''/: instead of ''/yes/no, for convenience.
        (cmpprog, CMPPROG): New vars, since we use cmp rather than the diff
        of Akim's patch.
        Use LC_ALL before invoking 'ls' when we depend on its output format.
        Don't use awk; just use the shell's builtin features.
        Clean up $dsttmp if -C detects no installation is needed.
        * tests/defs.in (is_newest): Renamed from is_younger; the new

2006-12-24  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

        Simplify install-sh and its test.  This shouldn't change any behavior.
        (This patch is a subset of the patch proposed in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-10/msg00077.html>.)

        (dst_arg): this for consistency.
        Simplify quoting of assignments.
        Sort them.
        Don't use '\' to continue commands: && suffices.
        Remove useless "continue" in the argument processing,
        and factor the shifts.
        * tests/defs.in: Some improvements to make it set -e clean.
        Use the traditional ":" trick to protect loops from being empty.
        Remove an empty straightforward piece of code prepared to define
        additional variables.
        Use test instead of [], for consistency.
        * tests/install2.test: Use set -e, to simplify code.

        * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
        which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
        directory.  In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
        equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
        system.  We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
        fixing.  Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.

        -I m4.  Running aclocal during the rebuild rules will fail
        if the default acdir does not exist.

        * NEWS, configure.ac, m4/init.m4, m4/lispdir.m4, m4/mkdirp.m4:
        Require Autoconf 2.60 instead of some intermediate development
        version.

        * doc/automake.texi (Standard Directory Variables): Fix multitable
        width.
        (Autotools Introduction): Fix @uref usage.

2006-08-19  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * doc/automake.texi: Fix some typos in the introduction,
        adjust some spacing; spell `GNU Build System' consistently.
        (menu): Unify node naming.
        (Standard Directory Variables): Clarify that this list is not
        exhaustive.
        (DESTDIR): Fix example.

2006-08-19  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (Autotools Introduction) New chapter.
        Thanks to Ben Pfaff and Ralf Wildenhues for comments.
        (Auxiliary Programs, Install, Dist, Third-Party Makefiles)
        (distcleancheck): More cross references.
        * doc/amhello/configure.ac, doc/amhello/README,
        doc/amhello/Makefile.am, doc/amhello/src/Makefile.am,
        doc/amhello/src/main.c: New files.
        * doc/Makefile.am (dist_noinst_DATA): Distribute them.
        ($(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): New rule.
        (dist_doc_DATA): Install amhello-1.0.tar.gz.
        * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Update comment.

2006-08-15  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * doc/automake.texi: Fix some typos.

2006-08-14  Jonathan Higa <jthiga@gmail.com>

        * automake.in: Register "Unified Parallel C" as language.
        (lang_upc_rewrite): New function.
        (resolve_linker): Consider UPCLINK.
        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): Suggest
        AM_PROG_UPC for UPC and UPCFLAGS.
        * m4/upc.m4: New file.
        * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Add UPC case.
        * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add upc.m4.
        * doc/automake.texi (Unified Parallel C Support): New node.
        (Public macros): Mention AM_PROG_UPC.
        (Program and Library Variables, Flag Variables Ordering):
        Mention UPCFLAGS.
        * tests/upc.test, tests/upc2.test, tests/upc3.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
        * tests/ext.test: Also test upc files.

2006-08-04  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Fix some errors in previous patch.

        * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp.  Show an example of script
        built from configure.ac.  Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
        other built scripts.

        * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
        AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined.  This is for
        newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
        * tests/init.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

2006-08-04  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
        * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
        * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
        `make distdir' instead.

2006-08-04  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
        and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
        conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
        handled.
        * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
        AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
        definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
        Report from Bas Wijnen.
        * tests/amopt.test: New test.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

        * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
        new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null.  So
        create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
        file, and erase it afterward.  Fall back to using /dev/null only
        if we cannot create this file.
        Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
        (unlink_tmp): New function.
        * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.

2006-08-04  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
        do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
        to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
        Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
        depdir computation.
        * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
        Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
        main program.
        * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.

2006-07-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
        can install only one file at a time.
        (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
        (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
        (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
        cause weird behavior with the other changes below.  All later uses
        of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
        Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
        octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
        likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
        octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
        'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
        (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
        temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
        (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
        intermediate directories; this is safer.
        (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
        /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
        HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
        Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
        traditional implementations.

2006-07-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.

2006-07-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
        for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.

2006-06-24  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
            Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
        `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
        computed by config.status.
        * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
        a changed directory.  Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
        * THANKS: Update.

2006-06-24  Eric Dorland  <eric@debian.org>
            Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
        * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

2006-06-07  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.

2006-06-07  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.

2006-06-06  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
            Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
        distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
        and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
        Fix some comment typos.

2006-06-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
        7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
        with `-MDupdate'.  Refine test to catch this.

        * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
        procedure.

        * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
        requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
        this.  Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
        is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
        * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
        subsequent checks.
        * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.

        * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
        MinGW perl.
        * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
        * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.

        * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
        plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
        for grep.  Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
        * THANKS: Update.

2006-05-26  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>  (tiny change)

        * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.

2006-05-25  Noah Misch  <noah@cs.caltech.edu>

        * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
        ENOLCK.  Only mention `make -j' when applicable.  Only raise
        fatal errors when `make -j' is involved.  Improve error message.

2006-05-17  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
        `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
        directory component.
        * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
        this file.
        * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
        * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
        * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.

2006-05-16  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
        New upstream versions.

2006-05-15  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
        repository, they use SVN now.

2006-05-13  Werner Lemberg  <wl@gnu.org>

        * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
        savannah.nongnu.org.

2006-05-13  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
        lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
        lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.

2006-05-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
        Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
        as per GNU coding standards.  Close a race condition reported by Ralf
        Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal.  There is still a race condition
        on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
        Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
        Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.

2006-05-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
        GNUmake.
        * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
        follow `. ./defs' in the tests.

        * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.  Fix test that
        ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
        `configure'.
        * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
        * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise.  Do not override by setting
        $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
        * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
        * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise.  Use `set -e'.

        * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
        turned off later.
        * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.

        * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
        the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
        it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it.  Fixes
        java.test failure.

        * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
        files in the source tree.  Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
        make.

        * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
        (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
        (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.

2006-05-10  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
        /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.

        * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
        Autoconf.

        * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
        * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
        in perl < 5.8.2.

        * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
        it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
        fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.

        * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
        match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
        cause false matches.  Tighten overrides regex.  Fix typo
        `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.

        * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
        exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
        * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.

        * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
        if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'.  Create the wrapper in a
        subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
        loop.

        * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
        (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
        comment.  Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
        * THANKS: Update.

        * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
        and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
        they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
        file.

        * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes.  Replace all uses of
        `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
        * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

        * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
        (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them.  Unifies detection of
        `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
        Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man.  Fixes
        PR automake/483.  Report by Dennis J. Linse.
        (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.
        * THANKS: Update.

2006-04-26  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@gnu.org>  (tiny change)

        * doc/automake.texi (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Fix typo.

2006-04-25  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * lib/install-sh: Simplify the expr implementation of dirname.

2006-04-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
        * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
        mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
        the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.

2006-04-21  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
        (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
        * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
        (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
        Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
        with two different autoconf versions.  Report from Noah Misch.
        * tests/missing4.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

        failed, instead of when the last one failed (PR automake/488).
        Report from Paul Lunau.
        * tests/dejagnu4.test: Update to expose this.

        (_gen_varname): Use _hash_values, and return a flag indicating whether
        the variable name was generated or reused.
        (transform_variable_recursively): Do not redefine variables that
        are reused, and try to reuse the variable being transformed.
        * tests/check2.test: Make sure TESTS hasn't been redefined.
        * tests/check5.test, tests/exeext4.test: Make sure variables have
        been reused.
        * tests/subst2.test: Make sure bin_PROGRAMS gets rewritten.

        * automake.in (%ignored_configure_vars): New variable.

        %ignored_configure_vars.
        (define_configure_variable): Declare ignored configure variables

2005-11-01  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * lib/install-sh: Use "trap '' 0" instead of "trap - 0", so that
        the code is portable to both POSIX and pre-POSIX shells.

2005-10-17  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',

        * doc/automake.texi (limitations on file names): New section.
        * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
        Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
        This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
        loses the race in creating the last path component against another
        process.
        * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.

2005-09-13  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.

        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
        search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
        People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
        AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
        * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
        for missing files that can be installed.
        * tests/library3.test: Adjust.

2005-07-27  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
        `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.

        * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
        * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.

2005-07-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
        problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('.  Automake and
        Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
        if the usual candidates show up.

2005-07-19  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.

        versions.

2005-07-09  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
        / into % as it prevents directory names using %...

2005-07-09  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
        * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.

        * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
        "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
        ia64 systems).

2005-07-02  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

2005-06-30  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
        lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
        * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
        if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
        Suggested by Stepan Kasal.

        trailing backslash.
        * tests/commen10.test: New file.

        of AC_SUBST.
        * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
        Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
        * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
        * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.

        Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.

2005-06-24  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
        variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
        only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
        variable, not to older helper variables.  This way the order of
        the items appended to the variable is preserved.
        * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
        * tests/cond38.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.

        * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.

        * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
        definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
        generate_makefile.  This superfluous definition introduced long
        lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
        line length.  Report from Mathias Froehlich.

2005-06-11  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):

        subdir-objects and an invocation of AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR.

2005-04-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * doc/automake.texi (Dist): Correct English.

2005-03-31  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

2005-03-30  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (Uniform): Use xmldir instead of htmldir as

        Give a URL for texinfo.tex.
        (Public macros): Sort alphabetically, and move obsolete macros...

        directory of the file doing the include.  Remove code for this
        latter case.
        * tests/acloca13.test: Run distcheck and make sure all macros are
        actually distributed.

2005-03-03  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>
