1 2008-10-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3 Cleanup of per-input global variables in automake.in.
4 * automake.in ($output_vars, $output_all, $output_header)
5 ($output_rules, $output_trailer): Fix comment, and sort
6 declarations in the order they will appear in the output.
7 ($all_target): Unused variable, remove.
8 (Variables not reset by &initialize_per_input.): New section,
9 clarify that %am_file_cache is not reset.
10 (initialize_per_input): Reset $am_file_name, $am_relative_dir,
11 $in_file_name, $relative_dir, and $topsrcdir to `undef' rather
12 than the empty string; $topsrcdir was not reset at all. Sort
13 remaining variables in the same order as in the section
14 `Variables reset by &initialize_per_input'.
16 Let stderr output end up on fd 2 in testsuite.
17 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Output recorded stderr on file
19 * tests/getopt.test: Fix erroneous multiple redirection,
20 uncovered by above change.
22 2008-10-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
24 Fix DisjConditions module to be thread-safe for perl >= 5.7.2.
25 Self-hashes of blessed references are not correctly transported
26 through thread creation. This patch fixes that by recreating
27 the hashes upon thread creation with a CLONE special subroutine,
28 which is automatically invoked by new enough Perl versions.
29 * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (CLONE): New special
30 subroutine to fix self hashes upon thread creation.
31 * lib/Automake/tests/Condition-t.pl: New, sister test to
32 Condition.pl, but spawns a new threads after each creation of a
33 new condition; skip test if perl is too old or ithreads are not
35 * lib/Automake/tests/DisjConditions-t.pl: Likewise.
36 * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
38 2008-10-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

48 the directory it started in.
50 2008-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
52 Nicer 'make dist' output.
53 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Hide the complex script
54 used for computing the relative subdirs; echo the sub-make
57 2008-10-12 William Pursell <bill.pursell@gmail.com> (tiny patch)
59 * tests/defs.in: Fix comment typo.

62 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
64 Fix grammar w.r.t. plurals in test reports.

66 * tests/check10.test: New test.
67 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
69 2008-10-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
71 Require texi2dvi in tests, makeinfo may not be enough.
72 * tests/txinfo16.test: RHEL 5.2 has makeinfo and texi2dvi in
73 separate packages, so also list the latter as required, as the
74 test generates DVI and/or PDF output (through distcheck).
75 * tests/txinfo18.test: Likewise.

84 * bootstrap: Remove automake-$APIVERSION correctly.
86 2008-10-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
88 Improve test coverage of current TESTS semantics.
89 * tests/check8.test: New test, for subdir tests and setting of

92 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
94 2008-10-05 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
96 * m4/minuso.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Work around shell quoting issue
97 with AIX sh; fixes depcomp6.test failure.
98 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

125 Fix man page creation without installed files.
126 * doc/Makefile.am (update_mans): Use wrappers in tests/
128 ($(srcdir)/aclocal-$(APIVERSION).1): Use versioned wrapper as
129 input program to help2man.
130 ($(srcdir)/automake-$(APIVERSION).1): Likewise.

133 2008-09-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
135 Remove unneeded per-rule *INSTALL variables.
137 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): Remove.
138 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Adjust.
139 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Remove.
140 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Adjust.
141 * lib/am/ltlibs.am (%DIR%LTLIBRARIES_INSTALL): Remove.
142 (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Adjust.
143 * lib/am/progs.am (%DIR%PROGRAMS_INSTALL): Remove.
144 (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Adjust.
145 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Remove.
146 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Adjust.
147 * lib/am/scripts.am (%DIR%SCRIPT_INSTALL): Remove.
148 (install-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Adjust.
150 Compactify program rules using ternary operators.
151 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Uglify^WCompactify
152 using ternary operators `%KEY?TRUE:FALSE%'.
153 (uninstall-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Likewise.
155 New doc section about command line length limits.
156 * doc/automake.texi (Length limitations): New node.
157 (Alternative): `nobase_' is not always equivalent to several
159 (Install): Mention multi-file install.
160 * NEWS: Expand on the issue, list some more user-visible
163 Install nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES before bin_PROGRAMS.
164 * automake.in (generate_makefile): If nobase_lib_LTLIBRARIES are
165 used, add an ugly hack to install them before bin_PROGRAMS, just
166 like done with lib_LTLIBRARIES.
167 * tests/ltorder.test: Add program, to expose this.
169 Do not reorder nobase ltlib installation.
170 This patch changes back the order of installation of nobase
171 LTLIBRARIES to that in which files are listed in the variables.
172 It does not fix the issue of strict dependency ordering, as
173 implied by *_LIBADD, but as before allows to steer the order by
174 listing the libraries in nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES appropriately.
175 As an advantage over the state of 1.10, multiple consecutive
176 nobase libraries to be installed in the same directory are
177 passed to libtool in one invocation.
178 * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES) [!%?BASE%]: Do not
179 reorder libraries upon installation. Remove spurious empty
181 * tests/ltorder.test: New test.
182 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
184 Fix -rpath arguments for nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES.
185 * automake.in (handle_ltlibraries): New hash %instsubdirs to
186 track the dirname of nobase ltlibraries, and tack it onto the
187 end of the -rpath argument. Also, fix the warning about ltlibs
188 installed in multiple locations to fit a bit better.
189 * tests/pr300-ltlib.test: Expose this bug here.
190 * tests/ltinstloc.test: New test.
191 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
194 Man pages for automake and aclocal.
195 * configure.ac (HELP2MAN): New substitution.
196 * doc/Makefile.am (dist_man1_MANS, MAINTAINERCLEANFILES)
197 (update_mans): New macros.
198 ($(srcdir)/aclocal-$(APIVERSION).1)
199 ($(srcdir)/automake-$(APIVERSION).1): New rules, generate
200 man pages from the command line help with help2man.
201 ($(srcdir)/aclocal.1, $(srcdir)/automake.1): New rules, for
202 `.so' man page links to the versioned pages.
205 2008-09-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
207 Faster install for libtool outputs.
208 * lib/am/ltlib.am (install-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Invoke `libtool
209 --mode=install' with multiple libraries at once.
210 (%DIR%LTLIBRARIES_INSTALL): No need to use install_sh any more.
211 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Likewise, remove much
212 of the libtool special-casing by invoking it for multiple
215 2008-09-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
217 Fast install and uninstall for SCRIPTS.
218 * lib/am/scripts.am [%?INSTALL%]: Include inst-vars.am
219 independent of `%?BASE%'.
220 (install-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Install multiple scripts at once,
221 using awk and a number of sed scripts.
222 (uninstall-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Compute the installed names, and
223 remove them, all at once.
224 (%DIR%SCRIPT_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
227 Multi-file install for PROGRAMS.
228 * lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Allow to install
229 several programs with one install invocation, when not using
230 libtool; employs some trickery to cater for nobase_, $(EXEEXT),
231 create needed directories, libtool, while only forking a
232 constant number of times in the fast path; uses awk and sed also
234 (%DIR%PROGRAMS_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
237 Enhance cleaning of programs in libtool mode.
238 * lib/am/progs.am (clean-%DIR%PROGRAMS) [?LIBTOOL?]: Fork less
239 often, avoid removing programs twice if $(EXEEXT) is empty.
240 * tests/nobase-libtool.test: Also test PROGRAMS, in order to
241 exercise the code path.
243 Report by Toralf Förster.

248 Reliable multi-file install for man pages.
249 * lib/am/mans.am: Include inst-vars.am.
250 (install-man%SECTION%): Gather lists of man pages to install,
251 and install up to 40 of those that do not have to be renamed
252 at once. Fail if installation of any file fails.
253 (uninstall-man%SECTION%): Rewrite to use fewer sed invocations.
254 * doc/automake.texi (Man pages): Hint the user to the fast path.
256 * tests/instmany-mans.test: New test.
257 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
259 2008-09-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
261 Faster `make uninstall'; fast install for JAVA.
262 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_strip_setup)
263 (am__nobase_strip): New macros.
264 (am__nobase_list): Factorize.
265 * lib/am/data.am (uninstall-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Use them, for a

310 Fix multi-file installation for files in srcdir.
311 For files that can live in the build tree or the source tree,
312 we have to expect that prepending `$(srcdir)/' to each name
313 will let the install command line exceed length limitations.
314 Thus use a new macro, $(am__base_list), to install in chunks
315 of 40 files, similar to what we do for nobase_* files. There,
316 lower the limit to 40, too.
317 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): Lower to 40.
318 (am__base_list): New macro.
319 * lib/am/data.am (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%) [%?BASE%]: Use it.
320 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
321 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Likewise.
323 2008-09-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
325 Use `Exit' instead of `exit' in test suite.
326 Cater to Bourne shells like Solaris sh that do not pass the
327 `exit' argument as status to the cleanup trap.
328 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check that here-documents
329 use only `END' or `EOF' as delimiter in the test suite.
330 Check that, outside of here-documents, the tests do not use
331 `exit' with an argument, but use `Exit' instead.
332 * tests/defs.in (Exit): New function. Use it throughout,
333 starting with the introduction of the exit trap.

544 2008-09-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
546 Avoid Heisenbug with verbose testing on HP-UX.
547 * tests/output-order.test: Remove spurious redirection line
548 from output for comparison.
550 For all possibly-relative subdirs, use $(am__cd).
551 Up to now, $(am__cd) was only used within backquotes, to avoid
552 extraneous output. This patch also uses it for every `cd' to a
553 relative subdir, to prevent CDPATH from entering an unwanted
555 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fix current check for
556 $(am__cd) within backquotes a bit. Add new check for `cd' to a

565 * lib/am/texibuild.am: Likewise.
567 Fix nobase-python.test for BSD make.
568 * tests/nobase-python.test: Listing a dependency to be found
569 via VPATH search explicitly, without the path, as a target,
570 will turn off VPATH search for FreeBSD make. So move the
571 creation of the files outside of the Makefile.
573 2008-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
575 Implement AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([DEFAULT-MODE]).
576 * m4/maintainer.m4 (AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Allow for an optional

593 * THANKS: Use Cyrillic name instead of ASCII transcription.
595 2008-08-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
597 Fix rebuilding of removed subdir/Makefile.in files.
598 * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%) [?!TOPDIR_P?]: If
599 subdir/Makefile.in was removed, am--refresh would not update
600 it. Fix up for it by running the per-directory rebuild rule.
601 * tests/remake6.test, tests/remake7.test: New tests.

608 * tests/notrans.test: Use multiple man files of each type.
610 Fix maintainer-check failures.
611 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Drop TAB.
612 * tests/missing6.test: Use 'rm -f'.

616 * doc/automake.texi (Flag Variables Ordering, Per-Object Flags):
619 2008-08-02 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
621 * lib/gnupload: Provide also a simple example.
623 2008-06-25 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnuvola.org>

633 depfile *.Tpo to its final destination *.Po.
635 2008-06-18 Rafael Espindola <espindola@google.com>
637 * lib/config-ml.in: don't handle --enable-shared and --enable-static.
639 2008-06-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
641 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__install_max): New variable.

644 Fix conditional rules competing with config.status rules.
645 * automake.in (handle_configure): Teach targets about the
646 conditional config.status rule.
647 * tests/cond39.test: Adjust test to expose this.
649 For AC_CONFIG_LINKS(X,X), do not clean X in a non-VPATH build.
650 * automake.in (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do distribute
651 inputs where input and output name are equal. This relies on
652 the assumption that it only happens with AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
653 (handle_configure) <CONFIG_CLEAN_VPATH_FILES>: New variable, for
654 links where source and dest are equal.
655 * lib/am/clean.am (distclean-generic): Remove, if build tree not

689 * configure.ac: Likewise.
690 (AC_PREREQ): Remove check, done by AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE instead.
692 AC_AUTOCONF_VERSION can inadvertently expand to a macro name.

707 Implement conditional AC_CONFIG_FILES: AM_COND_IF.
708 * automake.in (%ac_config_files_condition): New.
709 (scan_autoconf_config_files): Record condition if any.
710 (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace _AM_COND_IF, _AM_COND_ELSE,
711 _AM_COND_ENDIF, updating @cond_stack as appropriate.
712 (handle_configure): Prefix config.status rule with condition.
713 Check that m4 quotation is done consistently.
714 * m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITION): Define `_AM_COND_VALUE_name'
715 with `name' being the name of the condition, to its shell
717 * m4/cond-if.m4: New file.
718 (_AM_COND_IF, _AM_COND_ELSE, _AM_COND_ENDIF): New trace helpers.
719 (AM_COND_IF): New macro, implements conditionals.
720 * m4/Makefile.am: Adjust.
721 * doc/automake.texi (Requirements, Optional, Conditionals):
724 * tests/cond39.test, tests/cond40.test, tests/cond41.test,
725 tests/cond42.test, tests/cond43.test: New tests.
726 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
728 2008-03-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
730 * doc/automake.texi (@ovar): New macro, from autoconf.texi.
732 Suggestion by Eric Blake.
734 2008-03-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
736 * lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from upstream.
738 2008-03-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
740 * doc/automake.texi (Requirements, Linking, Extending):
741 Fix underfull and overfull lines, fix wording a bit.
743 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex: Sync from
746 * Makefile.am (WGET_SV_GIT_CF): New.
747 (fetch): Pull config.guess and config.sub from git repo now.
749 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
750 $hint, show if the executing program does not exist.
751 (xsystem_hint): New function, like xsystem but allows to pass
754 2008-03-11 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>
756 Implement the `notrans_' prefix for untransformed manpages.
757 * automake.in (handle_man_pages), lib/am/mans.am: Implement
758 notrans_ prefix for MANS primary and rework dependencies for
759 install-man%SECTION%; use only vars defined in Makefile.am.
760 * doc/automake.texi (Renaming, Uniform, Man pages):
761 Document notrans_ prefix.
763 * tests/notrans.test: New test.
764 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
766 * automake.in (handle_man_pages): Reindent, for next patch.
768 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
770 Use `install' with multiple files at once for some primaries.
771 With nobase targets, at most 50 files are installed at once,
772 to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.
773 This isn't yet done with base targets. One hope is that there,
774 the typical file name length is lower. If this turns out to be
775 a problem, it should be revisited.
777 * lib/am/inst-vars.am (am__nobase_list): New helper macro for
778 installation of multiple nobase files at once: sorts and lists
779 files keyed by their target directory.
780 * lib/am/data.am (%DIR%%PRIMARY%_INSTALL): No need to set it to
781 $(install_sh_DATA) any more, not even for nobase targets.
782 (install-%DIR%%PRIMARY%): Split base and nobase cases.
783 Rewrite to pass lists of files which all go in the same
784 directory to `install'. In the nobase case, make use of
785 $(am__nobase_list) and $(MKDIR_P) each directory before
786 populating it. Take care of files in source and build trees,
787 and avoid creating directories where no files are to be
789 * lib/am/libs.am (%DIR%LIBRARIES_INSTALL): Likewise.
790 (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Likewise.
791 * lib/am/python.am (%DIR%PYTHON_INSTALL): Likewise.
792 (install-%DIR%PYTHON): Likewise. Also take care to keep note of
793 a list for byte compilation after installation.
794 * lib/am/texinfos.am (install-dvi-am, install-html-am)
795 (install-info-am, install-pdf-am, install-ps-am): Use file lists
796 to install multiple files at once.
798 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
800 2008-03-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
802 Require unreleased Autoconf for fixed AC_PROG_INSTALL.
803 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Bump AC_PREREQ to 2.61-341,
805 * configure.ac: Also require Autoconf 2.61-341, to catch
806 failure early and provide a sensible error message.
808 Drop usage of obsolete macros AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
809 * tests/ansi4.test: Drop AC_OBJEXT and AC_EXEEXT.
810 * tests/ansi6.test: Likewise.

821 Skip instsh3.test if `touch -t' does not work.
822 * tests/instsh3.test: Test for `touch -t', fails with Solaris
825 Report by Younes Younes.
827 2008-02-27 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
829 * doc/automake.texi (wildcards): Improve "Why doesn't Automake
830 support wildcards" node's English and sense.
832 2008-02-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
834 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): In the case patterns for
835 XFAILed tests, add literal bracket expression for matching
836 whitespace, as NetBSD 4.99.54 ksh does not understand a
837 bracket expression resulting from variable expansion.
838 * README: Explain how to run the Automake test suite, including
839 setting MAKE to test gmake.
840 Report by Patrick Welche.
842 2008-02-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
845 * m4/options.m4 (_AM_SET_OPTIONS): Use m4_foreach_w instead of
847 Report by NightStrike and gurganbl@rose-hulman.edu.

851 * lib/am/tags.am (ID): Fix typo in workaround for old awk.
853 2008-02-05 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
855 * doc/.gitignore: Ignore files generated by `make ps pdf html'.
857 2008-02-05 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
859 * doc/automake.texi (CVS): configure.ac will appear newer, not
860 older, than configure. Use `lexical' instead of `alphabetical'.
862 2008-01-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
864 * tests/man3.test: Avoid `make VAR=value'.

1514 2006-12-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1516 Simplify install-sh and its test. This shouldn't change any behavior.
1517 (This patch is a subset of the patch proposed in

1520 (dstarg): Rename as...
1521 (dst_arg): this for consistency.

1709 * lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
1710 which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
1711 directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
1712 equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
1713 system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
1714 fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in

1757 name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
1758 bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).

1905 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
1906 * tests/ext.test: Also test upc files.
1908 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1910 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Fix some errors in previous patch.
1912 * doc/automake.texi (Scripts): Revamp. Show an example of script
1913 built from configure.ac. Discuss CLEANFILES and EXTRA_DIST for
1914 other built scripts.
1916 * m4/init.m4: Suggest fixing the call to AC_INIT when
1917 AC_PACKAGE_NAME or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION is undefined. This is for
1918 newcomers who call AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE without arguments.
1919 * tests/init.test: New file.
1920 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1922 2006-08-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1924 * automake.in (dist_dirs, fill_dist_dirs): Remove.
1925 * lib/am/distdir.am (DISTDIRS): Remove.
1926 * tests/distdir.test, tests/pr2.test: Do not grep, use
1927 `make distdir' instead.
1929 2006-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1931 * doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Split in two sections, "Usage"
1932 and "Portability", and add a third one, "Limits" to explain how
1933 conditional definitions inside multi-lines definitions can be
1935 * automake.in (handle_options): Do not assume that
1936 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS is defined in TRUE, but diagnose conditional
1937 definitions of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
1938 Report from Bas Wijnen.
1939 * tests/amopt.test: New test.
1940 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1942 * aclocal.in (install_file): Cannot use /dev/null while diffing
1943 new files, because Tru64's diff do not handle /dev/null. So
1944 create an empty destination file before running diff on a new
1945 file, and erase it afterward. Fall back to using /dev/null only
1946 if we cannot create this file.
1947 Report and initial patch from Ralf Wildenhues.
1948 (unlink_tmp): New function.
1949 * test/acloca18.test: Make sure the empty file has been erased.
1951 2006-08-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1953 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): With subdir-objects,
1954 do not prefix `$(top_builddir)/' aka `./' to nonempty LIBOBJDIR,
1955 to help BSD Make find the files also in a VPATH build.
1956 Also return the same path, possibly prefixed, for correct
1958 * tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
1959 Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
1961 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
1963 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1965 * lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
1966 can install only one file at a time.
1967 (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
1968 (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
1969 (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
1970 cause weird behavior with the other changes below. All later uses
1971 of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
1972 Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
1973 octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
1974 likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
1975 octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
1976 'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
1977 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
1978 (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
1979 temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
1980 (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
1981 intermediate directories; this is safer.
1982 (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
1983 /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
1984 HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
1985 Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
1986 traditional implementations.
1988 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1990 * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
1992 2006-07-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1994 * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
1995 for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
1996 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
1998 2006-06-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1999 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2001 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
2002 `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
2003 computed by config.status.
2004 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
2005 a changed directory. Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
2008 2006-06-24 Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org>
2009 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2011 * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
2012 * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
2013 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2015 2006-06-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2017 * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.
2019 2006-06-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2021 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
2023 2006-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2024 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2026 * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
2027 distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
2028 and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
2029 Fix some comment typos.
2031 2006-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2033 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
2034 7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
2035 with `-MDupdate'. Refine test to catch this.
2037 * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
2040 * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
2041 requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
2042 this. Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
2043 is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
2044 * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
2046 * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.
2048 * tests/pr401.test: Replace "perl -i" with sed and mv, for
2050 * tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test, tests/python11.test,
2051 * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
2053 * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
2054 plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
2055 for grep. Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
2058 2006-05-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (tiny change)
2060 * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
2062 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
2064 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
2065 ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
2066 fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
2068 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2070 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
2071 `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
2072 directory component.
2073 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
2075 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
2076 * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
2077 * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.
2079 2006-05-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2081 * INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
2082 New upstream versions.
2084 2006-05-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2086 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
2087 repository, they use SVN now.
2089 2006-05-13 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
2091 * lib/gnupload: Add support for savannah.gnu.org and
2092 savannah.nongnu.org.
2094 2006-05-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2096 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm,
2097 lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
2098 lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.
2100 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2102 * lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
2103 Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
2104 as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
2105 Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
2106 on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
2107 Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
2108 Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.
2110 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2112 * tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
2114 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
2115 follow `. ./defs' in the tests.
2117 * tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC. Fix test that
2118 ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
2120 * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
2121 * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. Do not override by setting
2122 $U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
2123 * tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
2124 * tests/subobj3.test: Likewise. Use `set -e'.
2126 * lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
2128 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
2130 * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
2131 the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
2132 it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it. Fixes
2135 * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
2136 files in the source tree. Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
2139 * lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
2140 (./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
2141 (%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.
2143 2006-05-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2145 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Cater for OpenBSD
2146 /bin/sh -e issue with failing commands in if clauses.
2148 * tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
2151 * configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
2152 * tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
2155 * tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
2156 it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
2157 fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
2159 * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
2160 match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
2161 cause false matches. Tighten overrides regex. Fix typo
2162 `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
2164 * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
2165 exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
2166 * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
2168 * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
2169 if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'. Create the wrapper in a
2170 subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
2173 * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
2174 (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
2175 comment. Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
2178 * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
2179 and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
2180 they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
2183 * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of
2184 `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
2185 * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
2186 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2188 * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
2189 (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of
2190 `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
2191 Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes
2192 PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse.
2193 (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.
2196 2006-04-26 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org> (tiny change)
2198 * doc/automake.texi (Dependency Tracking Evolution): Fix typo.
2200 2006-04-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2202 * lib/install-sh: Simplify the expr implementation of dirname.
2204 2006-04-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2206 * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options.
2207 * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
2208 mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
2209 the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
2211 2006-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2213 * m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
2214 (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
2215 * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
2216 (write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
2217 Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
2218 with two different autoconf versions. Report from Noah Misch.
2219 * tests/missing4.test: New file.
2220 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2222 2006-04-20 Paul Lunau <temp@lunau.me.uk> (tiny change)
2223 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2225 * lib/am/dejagnu.am (check-DEJAGNU): Fail when at least one test
2226 failed, instead of when the last one failed (PR automake/488).
2227 Report from Paul Lunau.
2228 * tests/dejagnu4.test: Update to expose this.
2231 2006-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2233 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Match XFAIL_TESTS delimited by
2234 TABs as well as spaces. Fixes PR automake/490.
2235 * tests/check6.test: New test.
2236 * tests/Makefile.am, THANKS: Update.
2237 Report from Diab Jerius <djerius@cfa.harvard.edu>.
2239 2006-04-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2241 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (find_file): Fix a typo in the
2242 description; eliminate the duplicate error message.
2243 * doc/automake.texi (@direntry): `Invoking Automake' is the name
2244 of the usage node for `automake'

2248 2006-04-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2250 * m4/lispdir.m4 (AM_PATH_LISPDIR): Require Autoconf 2.59c,
2251 because it uses `datarootdir'. Bump copyright year and serial.
2253 2006-04-10 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2257 2006-04-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2259 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_hash_varname, _hash_values): New functions.
2260 (_gen_varname): Use _hash_values, and return a flag indicating whether
2261 the variable name was generated or reused.

2263 are reused, and try to reuse the variable being transformed.
2264 * tests/check2.test: Make sure TESTS hasn't been redefined.
2265 * tests/check5.test, tests/exeext4.test: Make sure variables have

2277 * m4/cond.m4: _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE $1_TRUE and $1_FALSE (PR automake/477).
2278 * m4/depend.m4: _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE AMDEPBACKSLASH.
2279 * m4/protos.m4: _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE ANSI2KNR.

2294 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2296 * aclocal.in ($m4_include_rx): Do not recognize `include', and
2297 adjust scan_configure_dep and scan_file accordingly.
2298 (scan_configure_dep): Do not search white lines.
2299 (scan_file): Strip comments from current line after checking
2300 for serial, so that aclocal does not trip on `m4_include' macros
2301 in comments. Report from Mike Frysinger.
2302 * tests/acloca21.test: New file.

2358 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal): Unlink `aclocal.m4' before
2359 writing into it, to break a symlinked file.
2360 * tests/acloca20.test: New test.
2361 * tests/Makefile.am: Updated.
2363 2006-03-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2365 Allow package trees (packages with subpackages) to share
2366 common distributed auxiliary files (and directories) that
2367 reside within a subpackage.
2369 * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir %?TOPDIR_P%): Do not fail if
2370 `$(distdir)' already exists.
2371 (%?SUBDIRS%): Set `am__remove_distdir' to `:' to prevent
2372 removal of subpackage trees for distribution.
2373 * tests/subpkg3.test: New test.

2439 * lib/install-sh (dstdir): Don't use semicolons inside { } in
2440 sed scripts, as Posix says it's not portable.

2443 * tests/comment7.test, tests/comment9.test, tests/confh.test: Likewise

2461 2006-01-06 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2463 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
2464 Mention the file extensions that usually appear in _DEPENDENCIES,

2470 * automake.in ($gen_copyright, version): Likewise.
2471 * aclocal.in (write_aclocal, version): Likewise.

2479 (handle_dist, handle_configure): Use fill_dist_dirs.
2480 * tests/distdir.test: Test for cases where $(top_srcdir) or

2483 2006-01-05 Zack Weinberg <zackw@panix.com>
2484 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2486 * lib/depcomp: Add 'ia64hp' dependency style.
2487 Zack's original patch was contributed to GCC on 2005-06-13.
2490 2005-11-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2492 * lib/install-sh: Use "trap '' 0" instead of "trap - 0", so that
2493 the code is portable to both POSIX and pre-POSIX shells.
2495 2005-10-17 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2497 * tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',
2498 suggested by Eric Blake.
2500 2005-10-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2502 * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Typo.
2503 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (transform_variable_recursively): Typo
2506 2005-10-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2508 * ChangeLog.03, automake.in, tests/overrid.test: Typos.
2510 2005-10-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2512 * tests/nobase.test: Exercise previous patch.
2514 2005-10-03 Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com> (tiny change)

2520 2005-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2522 * doc/automake.texi (limitations on file names): New section.
2523 * lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
2524 Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
2525 This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
2526 loses the race in creating the last path component against another
2528 * tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.
2530 2005-09-13 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2532 * automake.in (Languages) <cppasm>: Fix typo in the comment.

2541 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (variable_value): Do not read the TRUE
2542 value of a conditionally defined variable.
2543 Report from Juergen Leising.
2545 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use AM_MAKEFLAGS in recursive
2546 $(MAKE) invocations.
2547 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
2549 * lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Likewise.
2550 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Likewise.
2551 * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
2552 Report from Stepan Kasal.
2554 * m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
2555 Prompted by Stepan Kasal.
2557 2005-08-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2559 * lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
2560 the $(infodir) exists.
2562 2005-07-31 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2564 * tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.
2566 2005-07-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2568 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
2569 Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.
2571 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
2572 search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
2573 People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
2574 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
2575 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
2576 for missing files that can be installed.
2577 * tests/library3.test: Adjust.
2579 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2581 * tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
2582 `*gettext*', check for both m4 files.
2584 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
2585 * tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
2586 * tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.
2588 2005-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2590 * tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
2591 problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
2592 Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
2593 if the usual candidates show up.
2595 2005-07-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2597 * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.
2599 2005-07-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

2604 2005-07-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2606 * lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
2607 / into % as it prevents directory names using %...
2609 2005-07-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2611 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
2612 * aclocal.in: Typo in comment.
2614 2005-07-09 Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com> (tiny change)
2616 * lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
2617 "cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
2620 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2622 * doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
2623 fix an underful hbox.
2624 * lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
2625 New upstream versions.
2627 2005-07-01 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2629 * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.
2631 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2633 * automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
2634 lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
2635 * lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
2636 if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
2637 Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
2639 * automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
2641 * tests/commen10.test: New file.
2642 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
2643 Report from Harald Dunkel.
2645 * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
2647 * lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
2648 Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
2649 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
2650 * tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.
2652 2005-06-29 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2654 * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
2655 `mkdir -p' does not work.
2656 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
2657 * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
2658 Report from Noah Friedman.
2660 * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
2661 Report from Karl Berry.
2663 2005-06-28 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2664 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2666 * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
2667 * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
2668 Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
2670 2005-06-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2672 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
2673 variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
2674 only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
2675 variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
2676 the items appended to the variable is preserved.
2677 * tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
2678 * tests/cond38.test: New file.
2679 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
2680 Report from Ed Hartnett.
2682 2005-06-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2684 * tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.
2686 * automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
2687 definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
2688 generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
2689 lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
2690 line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
2692 2005-06-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2694 * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
2695 Fix redirections in previous patch.
2697 2005-06-08 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

2700 Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
2701 * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
2702 * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
2703 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
2704 Report from Bob Proulx.
2706 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.
2708 2005-05-24 Brian Gough <bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (tiny change)
2710 * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.
2712 2005-05-15 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2714 Fix PR automake/461:
2715 * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
2716 with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
2717 * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
2718 Report from Tom Tromey.

3252 updates the time stamps.
