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

771         can install only one file at a time.
772         (doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
773         (test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
774         (mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
775         cause weird behavior with the other changes below.  All later uses
776         of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
777         Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
778         octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
779         likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
780         octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
781         'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
782         <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
783         (cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
784         temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
785         (mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
786         intermediate directories; this is safer.
787         (posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
788         /tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
789         HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
790         Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
791         traditional implementations.
793 2006-07-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
795         * lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.
797 2006-07-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
799         * tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
800         for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
801         <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.
803 2006-06-24  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
804             Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
806         * m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
807         `'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
808         computed by config.status.
809         * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
810         a changed directory.  Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
811         * THANKS: Update.
813 2006-06-24  Eric Dorland  <eric@debian.org>
814             Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
816         * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
817         * tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
818         * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
820 2006-06-07  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>
822         * automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.

828 2006-06-06  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
829             Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
831         * lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
832         distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
833         and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
834         Fix some comment typos.
836 2006-06-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
838         * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
839         7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
840         with `-MDupdate'.  Refine test to catch this.
842         * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
843         procedure.
845         * tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
846         requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
847         this.  Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
848         is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
849         * tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
850         subsequent checks.
851         * tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.

856         * tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
858         * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
859         plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
860         for grep.  Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
861         * THANKS: Update.
863 2006-05-26  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>  (tiny change)
865         * doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.
867 2006-05-25  Noah Misch  <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
869         * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
870         ENOLCK.  Only mention `make -j' when applicable.  Only raise
871         fatal errors when `make -j' is involved.  Improve error message.

875         * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use

879         this file.
880         * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.

889 2006-05-15  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
891         * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix URL to GCC
892         repository, they use SVN now.

905 2006-05-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

908         Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
909         as per GNU coding standards.  Close a race condition reported by Ralf
910         Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal.  There is still a race condition
911         on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
912         Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
913         Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.

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

932         turned off later.
933         * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
935         * lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
936         the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
937         it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it.  Fixes
938         java.test failure.
940         * tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
941         files in the source tree.  Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64

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

961         it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
962         fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
964         * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
965         match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
966         cause false matches.  Tighten overrides regex.  Fix typo
967         `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
969         * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
970         exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
971         * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.
973         * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
974         if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'.  Create the wrapper in a
975         subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
976         loop.
978         * lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
979         (hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust

981         * THANKS: Update.
983         * tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
984         and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
985         they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
986         file.
988         * lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes.  Replace all uses of
989         `[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
990         * tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
991         * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
993         * lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.

995         `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
996         Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man.  Fixes
997         PR automake/483.  Report by Dennis J. Linse.
998         (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.

1014         the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.
