        * 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

        system.  We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
        fixing.  Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.

        against currently running test for the first and last element
        of $(TESTS): add spacing so Solaris make does VPATH expansion
        on these words, too.
        * tests/check6.test: Update.

2006-08-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        For PR automake/501:
        * lib/am/depend2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%.o, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%):
        Abbreviate output a bit by not bothering to quote the .Po file
        name (the quoting doesn't suffice in general anyway), and by not
        bothering to remove junk .Tpo files (as they'll be removed later).
        This also lets 'make' run faster by avoiding a subshell.

2006-08-30  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * automake.in: Fortran 77 and Fortran should require variables
        F77 resp. FC to be defined, and suggest the respective Autoconf
        macros otherwise.
        * tests/fort1.test: New test.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

        * tests/ext.test: Add extensions f95, F90, F95.

2006-08-30  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        For PR automake/500:
        * automake.in (handle_compile) <$default_includes>: Do not output
        the same -I twice.  Use @am__isrc@ instead of ` -I$(srcdir)'.
        * m4/init.m4: Define am__isrc as ` -I$(srcdir)' only in
        non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.
        * tests/subpkg.test: Make sure config headers are found in VPATH
        and non-VPATH builds.

2006-08-28  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * doc/automake.texi, lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Fix some typos.
        * NEWS: Likewise.  Clarify that only one LIBOBJDIR is supported.

2006-08-23  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (usage): Mention that -Wportability
        is enabled by default with gnu and gnits strictness.
        Report from Bruno Haible.

2006-08-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: Mark de-ANSI-fication as being obsolete.
        * doc/automake.texi: Likewise.

2006-08-21  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * Makefile.am, THANKS: Fix typos.

2006-08-20  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * NEWS, configure.ac: Bump version to 1.9c.

        * NEWS, configure.ac: Bump version to 1.9b.

        * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for mkdir_p in automake.in
        too.
        * automake.in (require_build_directory): Use MKDIR_P, not mkdir_p.

        * m4/mkdirp.m4: Typo in previous patch.

        * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Fine-tune the "Unescaped @"
        check so it doesn't complain about the '@ 's in node "Standard
        Directory Variables".

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

        * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Prefix mkdir_p with
        $(top_builddir)/ if it is a relative directory.

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

        * lib/am/lex.am, lib/am/yacc.am: Drop the inline rules, always use
        ylwrap.  Suggested by Akim Demaille long ago, to ease maintenance.
        * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define MORE-THAN-ONE.
        (yacc_lex_finish_helper, lang_yacc_finish, lang_lex_finish): Always
        require ylwrap.
        * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs, Yacc and Lex): Update the
        documentation of ylwrap.
        * tests/lex.test, tests/lex4.test, tests/mmodely.test,
        tests/yacc.test, tests/yacc2.test, tests/yacc3.test,
        tests/yaccpp.test: Adjust.

        * doc/automake.texi (Releases): Update statistics until 1.9.6.

        * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for mkdir_p.
        * automake.texi (Obsolete macros): Document AM_PROG_MKDIR_P.
        * lib/am/data.am, lib/am/distdir.am, lib/am/install.am,
        lib/am/java.am, lib/am/libs.am, lib/am/lisp.am, lib/am/ltlib.am,
        lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am,
        lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.
        * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not
        as '$(MKDIR_P)', otherwise it will break `Makefile.in's that use
        mkdir_p without defining MKDIR_P.
        * tests/distdir.test, tests/instman.test, tests/txinfo21.test:
        Adjust.

        * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Build lib first, for lib/Automake/Config.pm.
        * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use --acdir=m4 in addition to
        -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
        <http://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:
        <http://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

        * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
        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.

2005-06-29  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
        `mkdir -p' does not work.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
        * tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
        Report from Noah Friedman.

        * doc/automake.texi (Include, Extending aclocal): Typos.
        Report from Karl Berry.

2005-06-28  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
            Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
        * tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
        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.
        Report from Ed Hartnett.

2005-06-22  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * 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%):
        Fix redirections in previous patch.

2005-06-08  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
        Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
        * lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.
        * tests/txinfo30.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
        Report from Bob Proulx.

        * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal): Typo.

2005-05-24  Brian Gough  <bjg@network-theory.co.uk>  (tiny change)

        * lib/am/texinfos.am (.dvi.ps): Add $(am__TEXINFO_TEX_DIR) to TEXINPUTS.

2005-05-15  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        Fix PR automake/461:
        * automake.in (require_build_directory): Canonicalize directories
        with different names, such as `foo/bar' and `./foo//bar'.
        * tests/subobj9.test: Augment to test that.
        Report from Tom Tromey.
