+
+	1999-04-10  Ben Elliston  <bje@cygnus.com>

+2001-02-06  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>
+
+	* subdirs.am: This file is the exception: clean recursive targets
+	are called by the clean targets, not the clean-am targets.
+	Otherwise we have a circular dependency: clean -> clean-am ->
+	clean-recursive -> clean.
+	* automake.in (handle_clean): Bind `-local' targets to `-am'
+	targets, not top targets.
+	Don't declare -recursive dependencies of the clean targets:
+	`subdirs.am' did it.  Less hard coded knowledge, transfered
+	into...
+	* clean.am: here.
+
+2001-02-06  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>
+
+	Monstro unsplitable patch.
+
+	The aim is to remove hard coded knowledge about clean targets from
+	automake.in, leaving them in the *.am files.
+	In addition to the mechanic needed to factor some dependencies, it
+	appears some rules (most notably distclean and maintainer-clean)
+	need factored actions.  So first, be ready to catch factored
+	rules.
+
+	* automake.in (&file_contents): For the time being, use an extended
+	$RULE_PATTERN which is able to match any kind of rules, with or
+	without dependency, with or without actions.
+	Handle all the rules uniformly, storing in %actions the factored
+	actions.
+	(&flatten, &target_cmp): New.
+	(&handle_factored_dependencies): Output the %actions.
+	No longer special case `clean'.
+	Output the rules in alphabetical order, but keeping `.PHONY' last.
+
+	Now we must not use &push_phony_cleaners, which is doing all sort
+	of magic to push a bit of everything in all the clean targets.
+	The biggest problem being that, making a Cartesian product, it
+	requires many useless targets.  The `*.am' file know better.
+	But first, register the new factored rules.
+
+	* automake.in (&initialize_per_input): Include clean, mostlyclean,
+	maintainer-clean, distclean and their `*-am' counterpart in
+	%dependencies.
+	Initialize %actions.
+	(get_object_extension, handle_texinfo, handle_tags, handle_multilib)
+	handle_dependencies, handle_subdirs, handle_configure, handle_clean)
+	(handle_emacs_lisp, handle_python): Don't play with
+	&push_phony_cleaners nor &depend and `clean'.
+	* texinfos.am, texi-vers.am, tags-clean.am:
+	* subdirs.am,python-clean.am, multilib.am, lisp-clean.am:
+	* libtool.am, kr-extra.am, depend.am, compile.am, clean.am:
+	* clean-kr.am, clean-hdr.am: Do it.
+	Whenever a target is empty, just remove it, it will no longer be
+	called.
+
+	There is still some magic about clean to hard code.  But really,
+	that's the end of &do_one_clean_target.
+
+	* automake.in (&do_one_clean_target): Kaboom out.
+	(&handle_clean): Rewrite the magic code.
+	(&am_install_var): No longer use &push_phony_cleaners, nor depend
+	on `clean'.
+	(&push_phony_cleaners): Kaboom too.
+
+2001-02-06  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>
+
+	* automake.in (do_one_clean_target): Don't hard code knowledge
+	about libtool, and maintainer-clean.

+
+2001-02-05  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>
+
+	* Makefile.am (perl4-check): Remove, we now require Perl 5.
+	(maintainer-check): Don't be silent when you find a problem, and
+	actually, even specify the locations.
+	Also check that @_ is assigned to arrays.
+
+2001-02-05  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>
+
+	* m4/regex.m4: Use AC_LIBSOURCES.
+	* automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace AC_LIBSOURCE, not

+	* automake.in (handle_dependencies): Use @AM_INCLUDE@ to include

+2001-02-04  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>
+
+	* automake.in (@clean): Remove, replaced by...
+	($dependencies{'clean'}): this.
+	Use `&depend' instead of push'ing into @clean.
+	(handle_factored_dependencies): For the time being, skip 'clean'.
+	(do_one_clean_target): Don't ask for argument 1 and 4 as they are
+	always `clean', and `@clean'.
+
+2001-02-04  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>
+
+	* automake.in (%dependencies): Don't be initialize globally for
+	all the files, but in...

+	since handle_single_transform_list now appends it to $obj.
+	Process the rule twice to handle deansified files in subdirectories.
+	Mark _.c files in subdirectories for cleaning.
+	(handle_single_transform_list): Append $U to $obj_sans_ext if
+	needed: before this dependencies were output foo.Po instead
+	of foo$U.Po.  Don't output explicit dependencies for renamed
+	objects or sources in sub-directories: we already output
+	a full compile rule for them.
+	(lang_c_finish): Don't always use the full filename in the
+	.c -> _.c rule.  This reverts part of my change of 2002-11-21.

+	(lang_c_finish): Use the full filename, including the directory,
+	in the .c -> _.c rule.  These two files must reside in the same
+	directory.

+	* tests/distcom.test: Delete.  This is covered by tests/output9.test.
+	* tests/output10.test: New file, for PR/411.
+
+2003-11-21  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

+2004-12-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

+
+2004-12-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+	* lib/mdate-sh: Don't use "set - x`$ls_command /`", as zsh mishandles
+	the spaces inside $ls_command.  Problem reported by Loulou Pouchet in
+	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-12/msg00074.html>.
+	Don't use "set - x"; plain "set x" is enough, and simplifies debugging.
+
+2004-12-05  Toshio Kuratomi  <toshio@tiki-lounge.com>
+
+	* lib/py-compile: Add --destdir switch to py-compile that takes a

+	honor -W and --warning.

+2004-11-01  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>
+

+
+	* doc/automake.texi (Libtool Convenience Libraries): Explain how
+	to force the linker selection.
+
+	* lib/install-sh: Fix the dirname emulation to ignore trailing
+	slashes, i.e., the direname of `a/b/' is `a', not `a/b/'.  This
+	caused `install-sh a/b/' to fail.
+	* tests/instsh2.test: Augment.
+	Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
+
+2004-10-21  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>
+
+	* automake.in (get_object_extension): The extension to use is know
+	by the caller, and cannot be selected by looking only at the
+	target name.  Simplify this function to simply conditionally
+	prepend $U to the given extension.
+	(handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Hard-code
+	the extension to use.  This way Automake won't mistake a program
+	named `foo.la' as a libtool library.
+	* tests/primary3.test: New file.
+	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add primary3.test.

+
+	* configure.ac: Export @am_AUTOCONF@.
+	* tests/defs.in (AUTOCONF): Define as @am_AUTOCONF@, not @AUTOCONF@,
+	so the test suite runs `autoconf' and not `missing --run autoconf'.
+	* tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Arrange for missing
+	to be used in front of autoconf even if the user has exported
+	AUTOCONF.  This fixes two spurious failures reported by
+	Mark D. Baushke.

+
+	* automake.in (handle_languages, define_compiler_variable): Output

+	--mode=compile as end marker for libtool arguments.
+	(define_linker_variable): Likewise before --mode=link, for
+	uniformity.
+	* tests/pr307.test: Make sure dependency files are updated.  That
+	was not the case because depcomp thought `--tag=CC' was the

+	Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
+
+2004-09-26  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>
+

+	(scan_configure_dep): Use File::Spec->rel2abs instead.
+
+	* tests/compile.test, tests/instsh2.test, tests/instspc.test: Use

+	(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).

+
+	Fix race condition in werror2.test due to sanity sleep change.

+	* tests/subdir5.test: Document why this test does not need to be
+	fixed.
+	* tests/subdir8.test: Likewise.
+
+	Improve description of the various *LINK variables.

+	(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

+
+	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: 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).

+	* 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.

+	This patch makes the cscope references relative again, and
+	fixes some corner cases.
+	* NEWS: Reword a bit.

+
+	Avoid sleeping for one second most of the time in sanity check.
+	* m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Try sanity check first without

+
+	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

+	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

+
+	parallel-tests: redo lazy checking: recheck and RECHECK_LOGS.
+	Replace the LAZY_TEST_SUITE API with a simpler yet more powerful

+	(recheck): New target.
+	(recheck-am, recheck-TESTS): New internal targets.
+	* doc/automake.texi (Tests): Update @vindex for TESTS and

+	* lib/am/check2.am: Insert `%COMPILE%' right before test.
+	* automake.in (handle_tests): Substitute `COMPILE' for check2,

+
+	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.

+	* 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.

+	* 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.
+	Report about long execution times by Joakim Tjernlund and others.
+
+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.

+	($all_target): Unused variable, remove.
+	(Variables not reset by &initialize_per_input.): New section,

+	(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

+
+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.

+
+	Compactify program rules using ternary operators.
+	* lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Uglify^WCompactify
+	using ternary operators `%KEY?TRUE:FALSE%'.
+	(uninstall-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Likewise.
+
+	New doc section about command line length limits.
+	* doc/automake.texi (Length limitations): New node.
+	(Alternative): `nobase_' is not always equivalent to several
+	base variables.
+	(Install): Mention multi-file install.
+	* NEWS: Expand on the issue, list some more user-visible
+	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
+	reorder libraries upon installation.  Remove spurious empty
+	line.
+	* tests/ltorder.test: New test.
+	* tests/Makefile.am: Update.
+
+	Fix -rpath arguments for nobase_*_LTLIBRARIES.
+	* automake.in (handle_ltlibraries): New hash %instsubdirs to
+	track the dirname of nobase ltlibraries, and tack it onto the
+	end of the -rpath argument.  Also, fix the warning about ltlibs
+	installed in multiple locations to fit a bit better.
+	* tests/pr300-ltlib.test: Expose this bug here.
+	* tests/ltinstloc.test: New test.
+	* tests/Makefile.am: Update.
+	* NEWS: Update.
+
+	Man pages for automake and aclocal.
+	* configure.ac (HELP2MAN): New substitution.

+	(update_mans): New macros.
+	($(srcdir)/aclocal-$(APIVERSION).1)
+	($(srcdir)/automake-$(APIVERSION).1): New rules, generate
+	man pages from the command line help with help2man.
+	($(srcdir)/aclocal.1, $(srcdir)/automake.1): New rules, for
+	`.so' man page links to the versioned pages.
+	* NEWS: Update.
+
+2008-09-13  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

+	(%DIR%LTLIBRARIES_INSTALL): No need to use install_sh any more.
+	* lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Likewise, remove much

+	using awk and a number of sed scripts.
+	(uninstall-%DIR%SCRIPTS): Compute the installed names, and
+	remove them, all at once.
+	(%DIR%SCRIPT_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
+	more.
+
+	Multi-file install for PROGRAMS.
+	* lib/am/progs.am (install-%DIR%PROGRAMS): Allow to install
+	several programs with one install invocation, when not using
+	libtool; employs some trickery to cater for nobase_, $(EXEEXT),
+	create needed directories, libtool, while only forking a
+	constant number of times in the fast path; uses awk and sed also
+	in the default path.
+	(%DIR%PROGRAMS_INSTALL) [!BASE]: No need to use install-sh any
+	more.
+
+	Enhance cleaning of programs in libtool mode.
+	* lib/am/progs.am (clean-%DIR%PROGRAMS) [?LIBTOOL?]: Fork less
+	often, avoid removing programs twice if $(EXEEXT) is empty.

+	Fast install and uninstall.
+
+	AIX ranlib dislikes spaces in the argument.
+	* lib/am/libs.am (install-%DIR%LIBRARIES): Fix instsh.test

+
+	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.

+
+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/configure.am: Likewise.
+	* lib/am/distdir.am: Likewise.
+	* lib/am/remake-hdr.am: Likewise.
+	* lib/am/subdirs.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.
+
+2008-09-01  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+	Implement AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([DEFAULT-MODE]).
+	* m4/maintainer.m4 (AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Allow for an optional
+	first argument of `enable' or `disable', setting the default.
+	* doc/automake.texi (Optional, maintainer-mode): Document.
+	* tests/mmode.test: New test.
+	* tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
+	* NEWS: Update.
+	Suggestion by Vincent Lefevre.
+
+2008-08-31  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+	Copyright year updates.

+	* lib/am/tags.am: Likewise.
+
+2008-08-28  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+	* THANKS: Use Cyrillic name instead of ASCII transcription.
+
+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.
+
+	Fix maintainer-check failures.
+	* doc/automake.texi (Conditionals): Drop TAB.

+	to avoid quadratic string concatenation and line length limits.

+	populating it.  Take care of files in source and build trees,
+	and avoid creating directories where no files are to be

+	* lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
+	which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination

+	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

+	Also, don't bother to check for -m bugs unless we're using -m;

+	(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.

+
+	docs: "aclocal --install -I /abs/dir" actually copies files
+
+	This change is for automake bug#8407.
+
+	In the past, there had been some debate and confusion about
+	whether "aclocal --install" should copy third-party .m4 files
+	in the first directory passed to the `-I' option even when
+	such directory was given as an absolute path, or whether it
+	was better to do so only for directories specified with a
+	relative path.
+
+	The rationale for this latter behaviour was that, before the
+	existence of the `ACLOCAL_PATH' variable, the only way (a poor
+	way, I might add) for a common user to extend the search path
+	of a system-wide installation of aclocal was to export something
+	like ACLOCAL="aclocal -I /my/extra/macros" in the environment.
+	Today, the correct way to proceed is undoubtedly through the
+	use of ACLOCAL_PATH, so we can settle the question once and for
+	all, and start verifying the correct behaviour of `-I' with a
+	new test.
+
+	* tests/aclocal-install-absdir.test: New test.
+	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
+	* doc/automake.texi (aclocal Options): Be more explicit about
+	this part of `--install' semantics.

+
+	docs: fix node names for automake and aclocal invocations
+
+	With the older node names, an "info automake" command issued
+	from the command line would have opened the node about the
+	invocation of the automake program, rather than the Top node
+	of the automake documentation.  To invoke the Top node, one
+	had to issue the command "info Automake" instead (note the
+	different capitalization).  This was suboptimal, and certainly
+	confusing.
+
+	With this change, "info automake" will open the Top node of the
+	automake documentation; to access the nodes about the invocation
+	of the automake and aclocal program, one has now to issue "info
+	automake-invocation" and "info aclocal-invocation" respectively.
+
+	This change fixes automake bug#8071.
+
+	See also commits `v2.61a-22-ge9215d1' and `v2.61a-72-g8c07b48' in
+	the autoconf git repository, which tackled a similar issue.
+
+	* doc/automake.texi (@direntry): Rename nodes `aclocal' and
+	`automake' to `aclocal-invocation' and `automake-invocation'
+	respectively.
+	* NEWS: Update.

+	* tests/silent-nested-vars.test: Define $MAKE to `./mymake' in
+	the environment, so that it will be automatically picked up by
+	configure.  Related tweaks and simplifications.
+	Remove the checks verifying that silent rules are respected also
+	when the 'subdir-objects' option is set, the checks testing the
+	old syntax for user-defined silent rules, and the tests using
+	the default $MAKE programs: they are redundant w.r.t. other test
+	cases.  Related simplifications.
+	Remove the temporary files used in a sanity check as soon as they
+	are not needed anymore.
+	Do not capture also the standard error of configure: we only want
+	to grep its standard output.
+	Consistently use `stdout' for the name of files where to save the
+	standard output captured from make and configure, for consistency
+	with other tests.
+	Make grepping of configure output and of the generated Makefile
+	stricter.
+	Improve and tweak the `mymake' script a little.
+	* tests/silent6.test: Make grepping of make stdout slightly
+	stricter.  After having configured with silent rules disabled,
+	try to force the use silent rules with `make V=1'.

+
+	silent-rules: fallback for makes without nested vars
+
+	This fixes two problems reported for Automake (Bug#9928, Bug#10237)
+	and is in response to a bug report for building coreutils on HP
+	NonStop OS (Bug#10234).  The problem is that HP NonStop 'make'
+	treats a line like "AM_V_CC = $(am__v_CC_$(V))" as one that
+	expands a macro with the funny name am__v_CC_$(V instead of the
+	desired name am__v_CC_1 or am__v_CC_0, and since the funny macro
+	is not defined the line is equivalent to "AM_V_CC = )"; this
+	inserts a stray ")" when $(AM_V_CC) is used, which eventually
+	causes 'make' to fail.
+
+	The basic idea is that instead of generating Makefile.in lines like
+	"AM_V_CC = $(am__v_CC_$(V))", we generate
+	"AM_V_CC = $(am__v_CC_@AM_V@)".  We then AC_SUBST $(V) for @AM_V@
+	in the usual case where `make' supports nested variables,
+	and substitute 1 (or 0) otherwise.  Similarly for usages like
+	$(am__v_CC_$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)).
+
+	With this change, make implementations that doesn't grasp nested
+	variable expansions will still be able to run Makefiles generated
+	using the silent-rules option.  They won't allow the user to
+	override the make verbosity at runtime through redefinition of
+	$(V) (as in "make V=0"); but this is still an improvement over not
+	being able to work at all.
+
+	* NEWS: Document this.
+	* automake.in (define_verbose_var): When defining the variables,
+	use @AM_V@ rather than $(V), and use @AM_DEFAULT_V@ rather than
+	$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY).
+	* doc/automake.texi (Automake silent-rules Option): Explain new system.
+	* m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): Check whether `make' supports

+	tests: one more fixlet for gettext macros requirement
+	* tests/gettext-macros.test (configure.in): Add calls to
+	AC_INIT and AC_PROG_CC, to avoid a spurious failure in the
+	later aclocal invocation.
+	Luckily, this wart wasn't causing any spurious SKIP or FAIL,
+	but only the redundant addition to the `-Wno-syntax' option
+	to some aclocal invocations in the gettext tests.
+
+2011-12-24  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	tests: fix handling of gettext macros requirement
+
+	The code introduced in the earlier change `v1.11-581-gb7d67d5'
+	and aimed at automatically fetching all the .m4 files provided by
+	gettext has proven inadequate, since it hasn't managed to truly
+	and always get *all* the required .m4 files.  For example, it has
+	failed to fetch the file `intldir.m4' (present in gettext 0.18.1,
+	and where the macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT_INTL_SUBDIR' is defined),
+	which in turn has caused spurious SKIPs of at least the test
+	`gettext3.test'.
+
+	The reason for this debacle is that autopoint looks at the version
+	specified in AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION to decide which version of the
+	gettext infrastructure to bring in; since we were unconditionally
+	specifying the older 0.10.35 version, the newer `.m4' files weren't
+	brought in.
+
+	* tests/gettext-macros.test: In AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION, instead
+	of unconditionally specifying the older 0.10.35 version, specify
+	the version of the available `gettextize' or `autopoint' program,
+	dynamically extracted with the help of ...
+	(extract_program_version):... this new function, and saved ...
+	($autopoint_version): ... in this new variable.
+
+2011-12-23  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	tests: automatically handle deps also for generated tests
+	* tests/gen-testsuite-part: The test scripts are now scanned for
+	automatic dependency generation *after* the auto-generated tests
+	have been created, so they too will be scanned.  It is a little
+	tricky to ensure that the freshly-generated tests are correctly
+	scanned, and we do that with the help of ...
+	(@generated_tests): ... this new variable.
+	Other related minor changes and refactorings.

+	tests: remove FIXME comments from tricks to pacify syntax checks
+	Originally, I myself had insisted on adding those "FIXME" comments
+	near every unusual construct or use of "creative quoting" whose
+	only purpose was to avoid false positive from out syntax checks.
+	I did that with the expectation that we could have easily and soon
+	added a whitelisting capability to our maintainer-specific syntax
+	checks.  This hasn't been the case unfortunately, and now those
+	"FIXME" in the comments are just distracting noise, making it more
+	difficult to grep the test cases for stuff that could really use a
+	fix or an improvement.  So just get rid of them.

+
+	tests: better handling of gettext and libtool requirements
+
+	This change fixes automake bug#9807.
+
+	Before this change, the automake testsuite only looked for the
+	`.m4' files containing libtool and gettext macros definitions in
+	the directory `${prefix}/share/aclocal' (and in the directories
+	specified by the `dirlist' file in there, if any), where ${prefix}
+	was the configure-time automake installation prefix (defaulting
+	to `/usr/local').
+
+	This approach had various shortcomings and disadvantages.  Let's
+	briefly describe the three major ones.
+
+	First, on most GNU/Linux systems, a libtool or gettext installed
+	from distro-provided packages (e.g., by dpkg on Debian/Ubuntu, or
+	by rmp on RedHat/Fedora) would have `/usr', not `/usr/local', as
+	its ${prefix}; so, trying to run the automake testsuite with a
+	simple "./configure && make && make check" would have failed to
+	execute the libtool and gettext tests on most GNU/Linux distros.
+	It's true that it was quite easy to work around this issue, by
+	creating a proper `/usr/local/share/aclocal/dirlist' file with
+	an entry pointing to `/usr/share/aclocal' (a workaround in fact
+	used by most automake developers); but the typical user wasn't
+	aware of the necessity of this trick, so the libtool and gettext
+	tests was usually skipped on testsuite runs "in the wild", thus
+	needlessly reducing coverage.
+
+	Second, the older testsuite behaviour made more difficult for
+	the developers to run the testsuite with non-default libtool or
+	gettext.  For example, assume the developer is working on a system
+	that has a default libtool version 1.5 installed in the /usr/local
+	hierarchy; to improve coverage, the developer installs also a more
+	modern libtool version, say 2.4, in its home directory, let's say
+	in ~/libtool-2.4; he then tries to run the automake testsuite with
+	this more modern libtool by doing an (apparently) simple:
+	  $ PATH=$HOME/libtool-2.4:$PATH make check
+	But the automake testsuite would still look for libtool macros in
+	/usr/local/share/aclocal, not in ~/libtool-2.4/share/aclocal, so
+	the wrong version of the macros would be picked up, and the tests
+	would either fail spuriously or (which would be worse) pass without
+	truly covering the libtool version the developers was thinking to
+	be testing with.
+	Worse again, the automake testsuite would *unconditionally* look
+	for libtool macros in /usr/local/share/aclocal, so even something
+	like:
+	  $ export ACLOCAL_PATH=$HOME/libtool-2.4/share/aclocal
+	  $ PATH=$HOME/libtool-2.4:$PATH make check
+	wouldn't work.
+
+	Third and last, during a "make distcheck", automake is configured
+	with a ${prefix} pointing to a proper subdirectory of the build
+	directory (usually `pwd`/_inst), which gets created on-the-fly;
+	in this case, with the old approach, the automake testsuite never
+	found the libtool and gettext macro files, ans so the libtool and
+	gettext tests was *always* skipped in a "make distcheck".
+
+	* tests/libtool-macros.test: New helper test, looking (with the
+	help of the `libtoolize' script) for libtool macro files required
+	by most libtool tests, and making them easily accessible.
+	* tests/gettext-macros.test: New helper test, looking (with the
+	help of the `libtoolize' script) for libtool macro files required
+	by most libtool tests, and making them easily accessible.
+	* tests/defs.in: Update to make it rely on the results and setups
+	of `libtool-macros.test' and `gettext-macros.test'.
+	* tests/Makefile.am: Declare dependency of all the logs of libtool
+	tests from `libtool-macros.log', and all the logs of gettext tests
+	from `gettext-macros.log'.
+	(TESTS): Add the new tests.

+
+	tests: report useful system information in 'test-suite.log'
+	It has already happened various times that a user has run the
+	automake testsuite, experienced a failure, read the messages
+	telling him "See tests/test-suite.log" and "Please report to
+	bug-automake@gnu.org", and done exactly that -- sending us only
+	the contents of `tests/test-suite.log', which are usually not
+	enough to start debugging the reported failure.  So we have to
+	ask him for more details, and usually also for the `config.log'
+	file generated by configure.  It's time to fix this recurring
+	feedback inefficiency.  We do so by creating a dummy test case
+	that takes care of copying the contents of `config.log', plus
+	other useful system information, in the final `test-suite.log'.
+	* tests/get-sysconf.test: New test, gathering system information
+	and then always terminating with a SKIP, so that its output gets
+	copied in `test-suite.log'.
+	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

+	maint: snapshots from `maint' are still development snapshots
+	The maintenance-oriented development line in the `maint' branch,
+	while being usually pretty stable and 99% backward-compatible,
+	is not always right off production-quality; but until now, the
+	Automake package version declared in configure.ac hid this fact,
+	since it appeared to be the version of a stable release (e.g.,
+	11.1).  Fix this.

+
+	devel: help in comparing Makefile.in from different commits
+	Now that the generated Makefile.in, configure and aclocal.m4 files
+	are no longer committed in Automake's git repository, a simple
+	"git diff" or "git log" no longer shows if and how a change in
+	Automake results in changes to the Makefile.in files and/or
+	configure script of its own build system.  Still, the ability to
+	peek so easily at such differences has proved itself quite useful
+	in the past, often revealing inconsistencies and blunders, and
+	sometimes even bugs; so it would be a pity to lose that altogether.
+	With this change, we add a new maintainer recipe that re-introduces
+	much of that capability, by generating and comparing on the fly the
+	Makefile.in, configure and aclocal.m4 derived from two arbitrary
+	commits of the Automake repository.
+	* Makefile.am (autodiffs, compare-autodiffs): New phony targets.
+
+2011-12-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	repo: don't commit generated files in the git repository anymore
+	It has been quite some time since autoconf and libtool have stopped
+	committing the generated autotools files in their git repositories,
+	with no significant ill effects we're aware of.  It's true that the
+	autoconf bootstrap process has now the minor annoyance that a
+	pre-installed autoconf is required to complete it; but luckily
+	automake will not have a similar annoyance, since our bootstrap
+	script take care, through some hoops, to use the very automake and
+	aclocal versions from the current git checkout to generate the
+	required aclocal.m4 and Makefile.in files.  In fact, this has been
+	a necessity also in the past, because automake has been known to
+	use in its own build system new development features that hadn't
+	been present in any previously released automake distribution.
+	* .gitignore: Ignore configure, aclocal.m4, and all the
+	Makefile.in files.
+	* configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): New macro call, to require the
+	latest autoconf (2.68 for the moment).

+	missing: don't try to re-run tar with a munged command line
+	* lib/missing: If the default `tar' program fails with the given

+	default `tar' with a munged command line (e.g., ditching possibly
+	unportable options), as that could be subtly alter the intended
+	semantics (and maybe even create a somewhat corrupted tarball).
+	Also, it's worth noting that the main purpose of the `missing'
+	script is to allow a non-developer to build the package in the
+	face of slightly-skewed timestamps, not to provide wrappers for
+	all the maintainer tools -- so we don't have to try too hard
+	when `missing' is just called to wrap `tar'.
+	* tests/missing-tar.test: New test.

+
+2011-12-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	missing: inform the user if GNU tar is called
+	* lib/missing: If the code trying to run GNU tar is reached, it

+	point, just running GNU tar without further comments might be
+	confusing.
+

+	missing: if GNU tar exists but fails when called, give up
+	* lib/missing: If the code trying to run GNU tar is reached,

+	yacc/lex tests: avoid too much failures with FreeBSD make
+
+	In various Yacc/Lex tests, we used to run "make distcheck" commands
+	whose value was mostly dubious, and, even when it was there, was
+	very, very little.  The presence of these extra distchecks had two
+	disadvantages: it slowed down our already-too-slow testsuite even
+	more, and, much worse, caused a lot of extra failures with FreeBSD,
+	all due to automake bug#7884, which is already exposed by the test
+	case `yacc-dist-nobuild.test'.
+
+	We can improve this situation by simply removing "make distcheck"
+	calls from a few testcases, or making them conditional to the use
+	of GNU make.

+
+	dist-xz, dist-bzip2: don't hard-code -9, honor envvar settings
+	Before the present change, automake-generated `dist-xz' rule used
+	a hard-coded `xz -9'.  That was a problem because on this front,
+	xz differs from gzip and bzip2.  While the latter two don't incur
+	any run-time decompression penalty for using a higher compression
+	level, specifying -9 with xz imposes a potentially fatal virtual
+	memory requirement on any client that wants to decompress your
+	tar.xz file.
+	People have complained that a tarball compressed with -9 cannot
+	be uncompressed in a low-memory environment (wrt-based embedded).
+	Hence, instead of defaulting to -9, which is useful only for very
+	large tarballs, it defaults to -e (equivalent to -6e).  This
+	limits the default memory requirements imposed on decompressors,
+	yet still gives very good compression ratios.
+	* lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz): Do not hard-code xz's -9: that made
+	it impossible to override.  Actually don't default to -9, either,
+	since that induced inordinately large virtual memory usage when
+	merely decompressing.  Instead, use its XZ_OPT envvar, defaulting
+	to -e if not defined.  Suggested by Lasse Collin.
+	(dist-bzip2): Similarly, do not hard-code -9, but do continue to
+	use -9 by default.  Honor the BZIP2 envvar.
+	* NEWS: Update.
+	* doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions): Describe the
+	newly enabled environment variables.

+
+	tests: fix spurious failures due to missing 'yywrap()' function
+
+	The AC_PROG_LEX Autoconf macro does not diagnose a failure to find
+	the "lex library" expected to provide a `yywrap' function (function
+	which is required to link most lex-generated programs).  On the
+	contrary, when all the link attempts (i.e., with `-ll' and `-lfl')
+	fail, configure declares that no lex library is needed, and simply
+	proceeds with the configuration process -- only for the build to
+	possibly fail later, at make time.
+
+	This behaviour is intended; the Autoconf manual reads:
+	 ``You are encouraged to use Flex in your sources, since it is
+	   both more pleasant to use than plain Lex and the C source it
+	   produces is portable.  In order to ensure portability, however,
+	   you must either provide a function `yywrap' or, if you don't use
+	   it (e.g., your scanner has no `#include'-like feature), simply
+	   include a `%noyywrap' statement in the scanner's source.''
+
+	This AC_PROG_LEX behaviour is causing some spurious failures of
+	the Automake testsuite in environments which lack a proper library
+	providing `yywrap' (this happens for example on Fedora-based
+	systems).   The proper workaround is to simply provide a fall-back
+	implementation of `yywrap' in our lexers.
+
+	See also partially-overlapping commit `v1.11-871-geb147a1' (from
+	the 'testsuite-work' branch), which was motivated by similar
+	spurious failures experienced when cross-compiling.

+	With this change, we allow the user to request the install-info

+	This is especially useful to distro packagers, and is a definite

+	`install-info' program was the Debian or GNU version -- hack
+	which had been silently broken with recent versions of debian

+
+	tests: fix spurious failures due to missing 'yywrap()' function
+
+	The AC_PROG_LEX Autoconf macro does not diagnose a failure to find
+	the "lex library" expected to provide a `yywrap' function (function
+	which is required to link most lex-generated programs).  On the
+	contrary, when all the link attempts (i.e., with `-ll' and `-lfl')
+	fail, configure declares that no lex library is needed, and simply
+	proceeds with the configuration process -- only for the build to
+	possibly fail later, at make time.
+
+	This behaviour is intended; the Autoconf manual reads:
+	 ``You are encouraged to use Flex in your sources, since it is
+	   both more pleasant to use than plain Lex and the C source it
+	   produces is portable.  In order to ensure portability, however,
+	   you must either provide a function `yywrap' or, if you don't use
+	   it (e.g., your scanner has no `#include'-like feature), simply
+	   include a `%noyywrap' statement in the scanner's source.''
+
+	This AC_PROG_LEX behaviour is causing some spurious failures of
+	the Automake testsuite in environments which lack a proper library
+	providing `yywrap' (this happens for example on Fedora-based
+	systems).   The proper workaround is to simply provide a fall-back
+	implementation of `yywrap' in our lexers.
+
+	See also partially-overlapping commit `v1.11-871-geb147a1' (from
+	the 'testsuite-work' branch), which was motivated by similar
+	spurious failures experienced when cross-compiling.

+
+	dist: separate auxiliary file instantiation from DIST_COMMON update
+	This change simplifies the automake internals dealing with the
+	checking, copying and distributing of required auxiliary files.
+	With this change, a required auxiliary file is *unconditionally*
+	added to the contents of the DIST_COMMON variable in the generated
+	Makefile.in, before checking whether it exists, or trying to copy
+	it (if `--add-missing' is in use).  This shouldn't be a problem,
+	since if the checking or copying of the file fails, automake will
+	bail out, the Makefile.in won't be created, and thus its content
+	will not matter.  OK, this is not completely true when threaded
+	automake is in use, but then, such a situation was also possible
+	before this patch, so no regression here, which is enough for us.
+	This change is the first of a series of steps aimed at fixing
+	the regression introduced in threaded automake usage by commit
+	`v1.11-1219-g326ecba'.
+	* automake.in (require_file_internal): Add the required file to

+
+2011-10-08  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	dist: simplify automake code accordingly to the previous changes
+	After the previous change `v1.11-1219-g326ecba', every Makefile.am
+	requiring a file in the "config auxdir" will cause it to be listed
+	in the DIST_COMMON variable of the corresponding generated
+	Makefile.in, not only of the top-level Makefile.in.  Thus we don't
+	need to worry anymore about trying to distribute files in the
+	config auxdir from the top-level Makefile or the Makefile in
+	config auxdir (if any).  This allows us to carry out some useful
+	simplifications in the automake script.
+	This will however cause some changes in the generated Makefile;
+	for example, if the `PROGRAMS' primary is used only in a subdir
+	Makefile.am, the `depcomp' script will be distributed only by
+	`subdir/Makefile', not by the top-level Makefile.  This change
+	can be seen as an internal detail though, and definitely warranted
+	by the nice simplifications the current commit provides.
+	* automake.in ($automake_will_process_aux_dir): Variable removed.
+	(scan_autoconf_files): Adjust and simplify.
+	(handle_makefiles_threaded): Likewise.
+	(get_number_of_threads): Likewise.
+	(require_file_internal): Likewise.
+	(maybe_push_required_file): Its return value is not used anymore,
+	so return nothing.  Add special handling for distributed files from
+	`$config_libobj_dir'.  Also, catch "this can't happen" situations,
+	and abort accordingly.  Fix function description to better fit its
+	new role.
+	* tests/libobj19.test: Extend to also check situations where the
+	Makefile.am using $(LIBOBJS) is not the top-level one.
+	* tests/distcom6.test: Delete, merged into ...
+	* tests/distcom2.test: ... this test, which has been update to

+
+2011-10-08  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	dist: auxiliary files can be distributed from subdir Makefiles
+	With this change, we make it possible for a subdir Makefile.am
+	to distribute files in the config auxdir; while this means that
+	some files might be copied multiple times, it simplify some logic
+	in the automake script, and fix at least one important bug.  In
+	fact, before this change, the auxiliary script `test-driver' was
+	not being distributed as expected when TESTS was defined only in
+	a subdir Makefile (which is a pretty common setup indeed).  Now
+	this does not happen anymore: so the present change fixes automake
+	bug#9546.
+	Another welcome collateral effect is that `dist-auxfile-2.test'
+	now passes.
+	OTOH, the present changes *breaks threaded automake*.  The reason
+	is that automake needs to serialize file installations spawned
+	by `--add-missing' (this isn't for cosmetic reasons, but is
+	really needed to avoid possible race conditions and botched output
+	files).  Currently the code that installs required files is
+	intertwined with the code that declares the DIST_COMMON variables;
+	so, upon de-serialization, the definition of DIST_COMMON might get
+	emitted in the wrong Makefile.in.
+	Some follow-up refactoring in automake will soon take care of
+	remedying this situation.  For the moment, we just declare some
+	"parallel-am" tests as xfailing.
+	* automake.in (maybe_push_required_file): Add ad-hoc handling for
+	the case where the directory part of the required file is different
+	from the subdir where the current Makefile.am resides, but is equal
+	to the "config-aux directory" ($config_auxdir).  This is needed to
+	allow a construct in a non-top-level Makefile.am to require a file
+	in the config-aux directory.
+	* tests/test-driver-is-distributed.test: Extend and adjust.  This
+	test now passes.
+	* tests/java-compile-run-nested.test: Call automake with the `-a'

+
+	parallel-tests: don't allow @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS
+	Even after the last commit `v1.11-476-g90bea64', the checks
+	performed by automake on entries in $(TEST_EXTENSIONS) tried to
+	allow for @substitited@ stuff.  This however ends up allowing
+	quite brittle setups, which, most importantly, are of no real
+	practical usefulness anyway.  So it's better to just disallow
+	@substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS altogether, offering a clear
+	error message, instead of risking weird bugs and unexpected
+	behaviors in the generated Makefile.in.
+	* automake.in ($TEST_EXTENSION_PATTERN): Turned from a regular
+	expression ...
+	(is_valid_test_extension): ... into this subroutine.  Don't allow
+	generic @substitutions@ anymore (possibly making an exception for
+	`@EXEEXT@' under the proper circumstances).

+
+	testsuite: revamp generation of autogenerated tests
+	With this change, we make generated tests be real scripts again
+	-- albeit only thin layers around the tests they wrap.  It turned
+	out that the apparently clever tricks we played by having lots
+	of custom (and auto-generated) `..._LOG_COMPILER' variables and
+	by having the tests in $(wrap_TESTS) not being real on-file-system
+	scripts caused more pain and confusion than expected, for only
+	marginal gains.  Also, that previous setup didn't interact very
+	well with "make check RECHECK_LOGS=", since the log files for
+	the "wrappee" tests were always considered out-of-date (which in
+	hindsight is natural, since these log files depended on wrappee
+	tests that didn't exist -- and weren't created).  And finally, it
+	wasn't possible to easily and naturally run the wrappee tests
+	from the command line -- definitely harmful for debugging and
+	sanity checking.
+	* tests/gen-wrap-tests: Deleted, its role subsumed into ...
+	* tests/gen-tests-deps: ... this script, with the help of
+	(unindent, atomic_write, build_matcher, write_wrapper_script,

+2011-08-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	tap/awk: handle non-zero exit status from the test command
+	* lib/tap-driver.sh (get_test_exit_message): New function in the
+	awk script, used to extract the exit status of the test program,
+	or at least a good guess of it.
+	(write_test_results): Use it, reporting an ERROR result if it
+	detects that the test program exited with a non-zero status.
+	* tests/tap-signal.test: Account for the differences in the
+	error messages generated by the awk and perl TAP drivers.  Fix
+	an unrelated typo in comments since we are at it.
+
+2011-08-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	tap/awk: prepare to fetch the exit status of the test command
+	* lib/tap-driver.sh: Rewrite some logic in the main parsing loop,
+	to make it possible to read the exit status of the test command
+	from the last line of the input stream.
+
+2011-08-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	tap/awk: refactor for future changes
+	* lib/tap-driver.sh: Rewrite the awk script so that the parsing
+	of the input stream is implemented as a hand-rolled loop in the
+	BEGIN block, using the `getline' builtin.
+
+2011-08-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+

+	* tests/tap-html.test ($required): Require `rst2html'.
+
+2011-08-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	tap/awk: support Solaris /usr/xpg4/bin/awk
+	* lib/tap-driver.sh: Use `\t', not `\\t', to represent tabulation
+	character in regexps, even when inside double-quoted strings; that
+	seems to be more portable to Solaris 10 XPG4 awk.
+
+2011-08-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	tap/awk: support Solaris /usr/bin/nawk
+	* lib/tap-driver.sh (close_or_die): Remove, the use of the `close'
+	builtin in there was confusing /usr/bin/nawk from Solaris 10 into
+	a syntax error.
+	(write_test_results): Simply use `close' on the `*.trs' file, that
+	should be enough.
+
+2011-08-21  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	tap/awk: correctly extract message from SKIP plans
+	* lib/tap-driver.sh (/^1\.\.0+[ \t]*#/): Add a forgotten `?' to
+	the regex used to extract the skip message from a "1..0" TAP plan.
+	* tests/planskip.test: Check for the just-fixed bug.
+	* tests/tap-planskip-unplanned-corner.test: Don't be too strict
+	w.r.t. the formatting of the "skip whole test" message, to avoid
+	failing due to bugs irrelevant for this test (like the one just
+	fixed).
+
+2011-08-21  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	tap/awk: support colorized output
+	* lib/tap-driver.sh: Pass definition of colors to the BEGIN block
+	of the awk script, using ...
+	($init_colors): ... this new variable, which supersedes ...
+	($red, $grn, $lgn, $blu, $mgn, $std): ... these variables, which
+	have been consequently removed.
+	($color_tests): We don't have to pass this anymore to the awk
+	script, so do not convert it to a numeric boolean.
+	(decorate_result): Implement for real.
+	With this change, the test 'tap-color.test' now passes.
+
+2011-08-21  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	tap: real (but still incomplete) awk implementation of TAP driver
+	* lib/tap-driver.sh: Add an incomplete, but mostly working,
+	implementation of a TAP parser and driver in awk.  It doesn't yet
+	support colorized output, fetching of exit status from test
+	programs, nor a way to escape TAP directives in TAP result lines,
+	but passes all the tests of TAP support in the automake testsuite,
+	apart from the following ones:
+	  - tap-color.test
+	  - tap-escape-directive.test
+	  - tap-exit.test
+	  - tap-missing-plan-and-bad-exit.test
+	  - tap-passthrough-exit.test
+	  - tap-planskip-badexit.test
+	  - tap-planskip-unplanned-corner.test
+	  - tap-signal.test
+	Tested on Debian GNU/Linux with GNU awk 3.1.7 and 3.0.2, "original
+	awk" 2010-05-23-1, and mawk 1.3.3-15 (with which also the test
+	`tap-realtime.test' fails, in addition to those listed above).

+	* tests/suffix6c.test: Unset OBJEXT to avoid interferences from
+	the environment.
+	* tests/suffix12.test: Do not whitespace-indent `##' comments
+	when they are embedded in a makefile rule: having them indented
+	is not part of the Automake API, and might cause failures with
+	e.g., Tru64 make.
+	* tests/syntax.test: Simplify the `Makefile.am' to ensure that

+
+	parallel-tests: no more spurious successes for FreeBSD make
+	Work around a bug of FreeBSD make bug that was causing the
+	automake-generated "check" target to complete with success
+	even if some tests failed; this happened only when FreeBSD
+	make was run in concurrent mode (as in, e.g., "make -j2
+	check").  The bug is not present in NetBSD make.
+	This change fixes automake bug#9245:
+	 <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9245>
+	See also FreeBSD PR bin/159730:
+	 <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=159730>
+	* lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] $(TEST_SUITE_LOG): Use a
+	more "safe" (and apparently redundant) idiom to exit with error,
+	so that the non-zero exit status is picked up also by FreeBSD
+	make when it's running in concurrent mode.

+
+2011-08-17  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	tap: correctly handle string "0" in TAP messages
+	* lib/tap-driver.pl (is_null_string): New function, can be used
+	to determine whether a given string variable is empty or undefined.
+	Useful to avoid pitfalls like:
+	  if ($message) { print "$message\n"; }
+	which wouldn't print anything if $message is the literal "0".
+	(handle_tap_test, handle_tap_plan, handle_tap_bailout): Use it,
+	to avoid missing messages composed only by a literal "0" in TAP
+	result descriptions and in skip, todo and bailout explanations.
+	* tests/tap-message-0.test: Enhance.
+	* tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove it, it passes now.

+
+	tap: add a dummy TAP driver script implemented in shell + awk
+	The user can also now decide which implementation of the TAP driver
+	to use in the testsuite by defining the `$am_tap_implementation'
+	variable to either "perl" or "shell".  Future enhancements will
+	allow the testsuite to automatically run the test scripts on TAP
+	support with both the TAP driver implementations, to improve
+	coverage.
+	* tests/defs (fetch_tap_driver): Honor the `$am_tap_implementation'
+	variable to decide which implementation of the TAP driver to fetch.
+	($am_tap_implementation): Default to "perl".
+	* tests/tap-common-setup.test: Do not fetch the TAP driver, the
+	code in tap-setup.sh does that already (and respecting runtime
+	overriding of `$am_tap_implementation').
+	* lib/tap-driver: Renamed ...
+	* lib/tap-driver.pl: ... to this, and ...

+2011-08-17  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	testsuite: refactor tests on TAP support in view of future changes
+	* tests/defs (fetch_tap_driver): New subroutine; it fetches the
+	automake-provided TAP driver from the `lib/' directory into the
+	current directory, and edits its shebang line so that it will be
+	run with the perl interpreter determined at configure time.
+	* tests/tap-setup.sh: Use it.
+	* tests/tap-common-setup.test: There's no need to AC_SUBST `PERL'
+	anymore, nor to use it in the Makefile to run the TAP driver.
+	Also, use the `fetch_tap_driver' function instead of copying the
+	`tap-driver' auxiliary script directly.

+
+	tap: non-zero exit status after "Bail out!" should not be reported
+	This new behaviour is more consistent with that of the `prove'

+
+	testsuite: improve interface for giving early TAP plan
+	Since commit `v1.11-976-g4740f56', an early TAP plan can also be
+	specified after input lines have already been seen, as long as
+	no one of them is a TAP result line.  We can now take advantage
+	of this in our own testsuite, allowing the TAP-based scripts to
+	specify their earlier plan after having included `./defs'.  In
+	particular, this offers the benefit of allowing those scripts to
+	issue a "skip all" plan (e.g., "1..0 # SKIP reason ...") after
+	the inclusion of `./defs', which wasn't possible with the older
+	interface (introduced in commit `v1.11-1114-g0286308').
+	* tests/defs: Don't try to call `plan_' if `$planned' is defined,
+	the calling scripts can do that directly now.

+	testsuite: TAP tests properly decide when to remove tempdirs
+	Before this change, the TAP tests in the Automake testsuite were
+	removing the temporary test directory even when they failed or

+
+	tap: scripts with a SKIP plan but with exit status != 0 must error
+	This change has been motivated by Automake's own testsuite.  Some
+	TAP tests there were erroring out (due to unexpected, unhandled
+	failures) before having encountered TAP result, so that the
+	simple-minded shell library implementing TAP generation ended up
+	printing a "1..0" trailing test plan; this caused the script to be
+	reported as a SKIP rather than an ERROR -- a nasty false negative.
+	* lib/tap-driver: Add prototypes for each subroutine, to free up
+	the order in which they can be defined and called.
+	(main): Move the code checking for a bad exit status of the TAP
+	producer ...
+	(finish): ... here, and flush the TAP stream to ensure that the
+	parser always obtains the producer's exit status.
+	* tests/tap-skip-whole-badexit.test: New test.

+
+	testsuite: scaffolding to allow use of TAP in our own tests
+	Now that Automake has initial support for the TAP test protocol,
+	we can start "eating our own dog food" and rewrite some tests to
+	use TAP; this should allow for better granularity, especially in
+	the control of skips and expected failures.  With this change, we
+	set up the initial scaffolding required by the planned TAP tests,
+	and convert few older tests to use TAP, mostly in order to verify
+	that there are no obvious errors.  The tests in our testsuite that
+	use the TAP protocol will be marked by the new `.tap' extension.
+	* tests/plain-functions.sh: New file containing definition of
+	helper shell functions used by the "protocol-less" tests of the
+	Automake testsuite.
+	* tests/tap-functions.sh:  New file containing definition of
+	helper shell functions used by the TAP-producing tests of the
+	Automake testsuite.
+	* tests/defs: Remove definitions of some functions that are
+	now defined in `plain-functions.sh'.  Instead, source one of
+	`plain-functions.sh' or `tap-functions.sh', depending on whether
+	`$use_tap' is set to "no" or "yes".
+	(exit trap): Call `late_plan_' if `$use_tap' is true.  Also,
+	unset shell traces before issuing the latest commands, to avoid
+	confusing the tap driver with spurious output.
+	* tests/defs-static.in ($use_tap): New variable, by default set
+	to "yes" if the calling test script has a `.tap' suffix, and to
+	"no" otherwise.  The individual scripts can override it though.
+	In code sanity-checking the environment, verify that `$use_tap'

+	test harness: use new `.trs' files to hold test metadata
+	With this change, the test harness will keep test metadata in

+	are not intended to be executed by "make -n".
+	(.log.trs): New suffix rule, to recover from deletion of `.trs'

+	test harness: allow more metadata in log files
+	This change reworks and improves the parallel test harness to use
+	more specialized reStructuredText fields in the log files (instead
+	of relying on specially-placed of "magic lines" and more indirect
+	semantical formatting); the new fields are the following:
+	 - ":recheck:": tell whether the associated test will have to be
+	   re-run by "make recheck";
+	 - ":copy-in-global-log:": tell whether the content of the log
+	   file should be copied in the "global log" `test-suite.log';
+	 - ":end-metadata:", which inhibits the scanning of the rest of
+	   the log file (for what concerns test metadata).

+
+	parallel-tests: make parsing of test results safer
+	The new code for parsing the testsuite-generated `.log' files,
+	as introduced in commit `v1.11-872-gc96b881', considers each
+	`:test-result:' field anywhere in a `.log' file as a declaration
+	of a test result, and accounts for it as such in the testsuite
+	summary.  Unfortunately this could easily cause spurious test
+	failures being reported in the testsuite summary.  This happened
+	in practice with the Automake's own testsuite; for example:
+	  $ make check TESTS='check12-p.test'; echo exit: $?
+	  ...
+	  PASS: check12-p.test
+	  =====================================
+	  4 of 5 tests failed
+	  See tests/test-suite.log
+	  Please report to bug-automake@gnu.org
+	  =====================================
+	  make[2]: *** [test-suite.log] Error 1
+	  make: *** [check-am] Error 2
+	  exit: 2
+	This change introduces a new special `:test-result:' "END", that,
+	when seen, prevents the rest of the log file from being parsed.
+	For more information, refer to the thread:
+	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2011-06/msg00199.html>

+
+	parallel-tests: allow each test to have multiple results
+	With this change, we improve the code creating the `test-suite.log'
+	global log and the console testsuite summary to make it	able to
+	grasp multiple results per test script.  This is required in order
+	to introduce the planned support for test protocols, like TAP and
+	SubUnit, which can indeed run multiple tests per test script, each
+	with its individual result.
+	The implementation makes use of a custom reStructuredText field
+	`:test-result:'.
+	Note that no new documentation is added by this change; that is
+	be left for follow-up changes.
+	* lib/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): When processing .log files,

+	beginning of a line.  Extend and add explanatory comments.
+	(recheck, recheck-html): Add explanatory comments.
+	* lib/test-driver: Write an appropriate reStructuredText field
+	`:test-result:' in the generated log file.  Use a reStructuredText
+	transition to better separate the test outcome report from the

+	parallel-tests: allow custom driver scripts
+	Allow suffix-based definition of custom "driver script" for the
+	test scripts.  These driver scripts will be responsible of
+	launching the tests (or their corresponding $(LOG_COMPILER), if
+	they have an associated one), interpreting and displaying the
+	test results, and writing the `.log' files.
+	This new API should allow easy and flexible use of different

+	to implement TAP and SubUnit harnesses.
+	Note that no new documentation is added by this change; that is
+	be left for follow-up changes.
+	* automake.in (handle_tests): Define default for $(LOG_DRIVER),

+
+	parallel-tests: add auxiliary script 'test-driver', refactor
+	This refactoring should cause no API of functionality change,
+	and is meant only to simplify the future implementation of TAP
+	and SubUnit testsuite drivers.  More precisely, our roadmap is
+	to move most of the "testsuite driving" features out of the
+	Automake-generated Makefiles, and into external scripts with
+	well-defined interfaces.  This will allow the user to define
+	its own personalized testsuite drivers, and will also offer us
+	a framework upon which to implement our new TAP and SubUnit
+	drivers, all in a very unobtrusive way and retaining an high
+	degree of code reuse and backward-compatibility.
+	* lib/test-driver: New auxiliary script.
+	* lib/Makefile.am (dist_SCRIPT_DATA): Add it.
+	* automake.in (handle_tests): Require the new auxiliary script
+	`test-driver', and define a new internal makefile variable
+	`$(am__test_driver)', used to call it.  Perform new substitution
+	on `DRIVER' when processing the `check2.am' file.
+	* lib/check.am (am__tty_colors): Define new shell variable
+	`$am__color_tests'.
+	(am__rst_section): Removed, its role taken over by the new
+	`test-driver' script.
+	(am__test_driver_flags): New variable, contains the command
+	line options passed to `test-driver'.
+	(am__check_pre): Do not deal with temporary files and exit
+	traps anymore, as the `test-driver' script takes care of that
+	now.  Define shell variable `$am__enable_hard_errors', used by
+	`$(am__test_driver_flags)'.  Reorder so that we don't need to
+	save and restore the value of the `TERM' environment variable
+	anymore.
+	Other related adjustments.
+	(am__check_post): Remove, as its role has been completely taken
+	over by the `test-driver' script.
+	* am/check2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log, ?GENERIC?%EXT%.log,
+	?!GENERIC?%OBJ%): Call the test script through the Automake
+	substituted `%DRIVER%', and honor the command-line options
+	in `$(am__test_driver_flags)'.  Do not call the obsoleted
+	`$(am__check_post)' anymore.
+	* doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Mention the new
+	`test-driver' script.
+	(Optional): Mention `test-driver' in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.
+	Since we are at it, break the list of auxiliary scripts by
+	placing one per line, to simplify potential future additions
+	of new scripts.

+	test defs: fix ksh-related portability bug in warning messages
+	Running "make check" normally prints a diagnostic to the outermost
+	stderr (usually a tty) to explain why a test is skipped, thus
+	giving better and faster feedback to the user.  It used to do
+	so by redirecting file descriptor 9 to stderr (via "exec 9>&2")
+	before invoking the test scripts, which then would write any skip
+	explanation to file descriptor 9 via the `skip_' function defined
+	in `tests/defs'.
+	However, various Korn Shells (at least Solaris 10's /bin/ksh and
+	Debian GNU/Linux's /bin/ksh) and the HP-UX's /bin/sh close open
+	file descriptors > 2 upon an `exec' system call; thus the effects
+	of "exec 9>&2" are cancelled upon fork-and-exec, so we would get
+	a "Bad file number" diagnostic and no skip explanation with those
+	shells.
+	The present change remedies this situation.
+	* tests/Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Redirect more portably,
+	via a trailing "9>&2", rather than the prior "exec 9>&2; ...".  Add
+	explanatory comments.
+	* tests/defs (stderr_fileno_): Update the advice in comments.
+	Based on commit v8.12-82-g6b68745 "tests: accommodate HP-UX and

+	test defs: new function 'fatal_', for hard errors
+	Before this patch, the only way offered by tests/defs to
+	properly signal a hard error was the `framework_failure_'
+	function.  But the error message issued by that function,
+	as its name would suggest, refers to a set-up failure in the
+	testsuite, while hard errors can obviously also be due to
+	other reasons.  The best way to fix this inconsistency is to
+	introduce a new function with a more general error message.
+	Inspired by a recent similar change to Gnulib's tests/init.sh.
+	* tests/defs (fatal_): New function.
+	* tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):

+	tests defs: better requirements for XSI shells
+	This change avoids potential spurious failures with tests using
+	the requirement 'xsi-shell' to mean that they want */bin/sh* (not
+	$SHELL) to be XSI-conforming.  This idiom used to work before
+	commit `v1.11-874-g1321be7' (as back then the test scripts were
+	unconditionally run with /bin/sh), but has become inconsistent
+	now that the test scripts re-execute themselves with configure
+	determined $SHELL.
+	The described spurious failures have already occurred in practice,
+	for examples on Solaris systems which also had GNU Bash installed.
+	From a suggestion by Peter Rosin.  See discussion at:
+	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2011-06/msg00016.html>
+	* tests/defs (xsi-shell): Now check that $SHELL, rather than the
+	shell currently running the test script, is an XSI shell.
+	(xsi-bin-sh): New requirement, checking that /bin/sh (which can
+	differ from $SHELL) is an XSI shell.
+	(xsi-lib-shell): New requirement, checking that the shell that
+	should be used to test the Automake-provided scripts from `lib/'
+	is an XSI shell.  For the moment, this is just an alias for
+	`xsi-bin-sh'.
+	(require_xsi): New subroutine, used to factor out code common to
+	the requirements above.
+	($xsi_shell_code): New variable, contains shell code supposed to
+	work only with XSI shells.  Used by the new subroutine above.
+	* tests/ar-lib.test ($required): Require 'xsi-lib-shell' instead
+	of 'xsi-shell', since the script we test here is run with /bin/sh,
+	not with $SHELL.

+	tests: prefer ulimit over timeout in test on a memory-hogging bug
+	* tests/cond29.test: Use 'ulimit' instead of 'timeout' to ensure
+	that automake does not uses up too much resources.  This is really
+	and improvement because the bug tested by this script wasn't just
+	a "it hangs" or "it runs too slow" bug, but rather a memory-hogging
+	bug (due to combinatorial explosion when many Automake conditionals
+	had to be handled) which could easily crash the whole system, which
+	is unacceptable.  The requirement of a proper and working 'ulimit'
+	builtin might cause the test to be skipped on more systems, but
+	that shouldn't be a problem since the bug isn't about a portability
+	issue, but is rather an automake internal implementation problem.
+	I've verified that the test as updated by this patch still passes

+	* tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"): When
+	some variable is never initialized in the Makefile, `-e' is not

+	ensure that we do not ever initialize it.  And as such, it is quite
+	portable to use:
+	  $ make DESTDIR=/foo/bar install
+	and in fact, quite widely used.
+	So our example about when `make -e' is required, which references
+	the `DESTDIR' variable, is poorly chosen, if not downright wrong.
+	Rewrite it to use `prefix' as the overridden variable instead.

+
+	lex tests: avoid spurious failures when LEXLIB isn't found
+	The AC_PROG_LEX Autoconf macro does not diagnose a failure to find
+	the "lex library" expected to provide a `yywrap' function (function
+	which is required to link most lex-generated programs).  On the
+	contrary, when all the link attempts (i.e., with `-ll' and `-lfl')
+	fail, configure declares that no lex library is needed, and simply
+	proceeds with the configuration process -- only for the build to
+	possibly fail later, at make time.
+	This behaviour might be (partly) intended; the Autoconf manual
+	reads:
+	 ``You are encouraged to use Flex in your sources, since it is
+	   both more pleasant to use than plain Lex and the C source
+	   it produces is portable.  In order to ensure portability,
+	   however, you must either provide a function `yywrap' or, if
+	   you don't use it (e.g., your scanner has no `#include'-like
+	   feature), simply include a `%noyywrap' statement in the
+	   scanner's source.''
+	This AC_PROG_LEX behaviour is causing some spurious failures of the
+	Automake testsuite in environments which lack a proper library
+	providing `yywrap' (this happens for example in	Linux->MinGW cross
+	compilations).  But at this point is clear that a proper workaround
+	is to simply provide a fall-back implementation of `yywrap' in our
+	lexers.

+	testsuite: allow user to ask for stricter skip semantics
+	Given how the Automake testsuite is currently structured, if a
+	command in a test script fails with status `77', the global test
+	outcome is considered a SKIP, because the value of `77' for `$?'
+	is passed to the exit trap.  Indeed, this happens in practice, as
+	an autoconf-generated configure script can exit with status `77'
+	if it fails to find, e.g., a required compiler.
+	While this behaviour is quite useful for avoiding spurious test
+	failures in the wild, it can also sometimes prevent the Automake
+	developers to easily see and declare the requirements of their
+	tests.
+	This change introduces a new variable `am_explicit_skips', meant to
+	be user-overridable, and which, when set to a "true" value (i.e.,
+	`yes' or `1'), require a direct call to `Exit 77' in order to make
+	the test outcome be considered a SKIP.
+	* tests/defs.in ($am__test_skipped): New variable, initialized
+	to `no'.
+	(Exit): Set `$am__test_skipped' to `yes' if passed an exit status

+	reset an exit status of `77' to `78' if $am__test_skipped is not
+	set to `yes'.

+	necessary, but useful to complements AC_CANONICAL_BUILD.
+	* tests/defs-static.in ($host_alias, $build_alias): New variables,

+	* tests/defs (cross_compiling): Consider cross-compilation mode
+	active only if `$host_alias' is not empty *and* it differs from
+	`$build_alias'.  This is more faithful to the way configure
+	determines whether it is cross-compiling, but still allows the
+	user to easily force cross-compilation by overriding `host_alias'
+	and `build_alias' at runtime.
+	From a report by Ralf Wildenhues.

+	testsuite: avoid re-running few tests with 'parallel-tests' option
+	Some tests in our testsuite use the 'simple-tests' driver only
+	marginally, or simply as a mean to conveniently check unrelated
+	invariants.  It makes little sense to force these tests to also
+	run with the 'parallel-tests' Automake option active, as doing so
+	offers no real gain in coverage, while often causing a measurable
+	overhead in execution time (for an already too-slow testsuite).

+	Not only is this not respected by the existing tests, but it is
+	more likely to cause conflicts with auto-generated tests.
+	So, suggest to *avoid* using the `*-p.test' pattern in names
+	of hand-written tests instead.
+	(Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do not"):  When

+
+	lex: "make clean" removes .c files from non-distributed .l
+	Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
+	files derived from non-distributed Lex sources, it still caused
+	them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
+	simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
+	This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
+	those generated .c files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES by
+	hand.
+	This change fixes this issue, by making non-distributed `.c' files
+	generated by non-distributed Lex sources cleaned by "make clean".
+	A similar problem for Yacc support had been fixed with the commit
+	v1.11-263-ged2c8bc.
+	* tests/automake.in (lang_lex_target_hook): Make C source files

+	* tests/lex5.test: Do not check that the ylwrap script is *not*

+	expected to distributed unconditionally (at least starting from
+	commit `Release-1-9-323-gc5881cc' of 19-08-2006).  Note that this
+	bogus check wasn't triggering any failure because it was done at
+	the wrong time (i.e. from the VPATH build directory), so that it
+	could never fail anyway.
+	Instead, check that ylwrap is distributed even when there is only
+	one lexer.
+	Since we are at it, add a couple of `ls -l' calls, to get better
+	debugging info.

+
+	tests: extend tests on dependency tracking with VPATH
+	* tests/depmod-tests.sh: New script, fulfilling a threefold role:
+	1. it is called to generate a Makefile.am snippet, containing the
+	   definition of proper lists of tests;
+	2. it is called to set up a directory containing some common data
+	   files and autotools-generated files used by the aforementioned

+	(TESTS_EXTENSIONS): Add `.depmod'.
+	(DEPMOD_LOG_COMPILER): Define.  It calls `depmod-tests.sh', so that
+	the "depmode tests" will be executed by passing that driver script
+	a proper parameter.
+	($(depmod_tests)): New dependency declaration (dummy, but required
+	in order to have make actually produce expected log files from the
+	`.depmod.log' suffix rule).
+	(TESTS): Add $(depmod_tests).
+	(EXTRA_DIST): Distribute depmod-tests.sh.

+
+	tests: avoid extra test generation (for `instspc' tests)
+	We don't really need to generate tons and tons of wrapper test
+	scripts (presently, ~ 90) just to run what is basically a single
+	test (specifically, `instspc-tests.sh') with different parameters.
+	In fact, the possibility of running a single driver script with
+	multiple files/configurations/parameters is one of the major
+	selling points of the 'parallel-tests' testsuite driver of
+	automake.  So why not use ourselves more extensively the best
+	features we provide?
+	* tests/instspc-tests.sh: Update heading comments.  Expect
+	to be executed, not sourced.  Update handling of command-line
+	arguments.  Adjust to reflect the renaming of "instspc tests"
+	from `instspc-*.test' to `*.instspc'.
+	* tests/instspc-data.test: Update heading comments.  Execute
+	driver script `instspc-tests.sh', instead of sourcing it.
+	Give more informative messages in case of internal errors.
+	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): Define explicitly (to
+	`.test' and `.instspc').
+	(TESTS): Add `$(instspc_tests)'.
+	(generated_tests): Remove `$(instspc_tests)'.
+	(INSTSPC_LOG_COMPILER): Define.  Calls `instspc-tests.sh', so
+	that the "instspc tests" will be now executed by passing that
+	driver script a proper parameter.
+	($(instspc_tests)): Remove, we don't need anymore to generate
+	this tests.
+	($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): Remove, substituted by ...
+	($(instspc_tests:.instspc=.log)): ... this.
+	($(instspc_tests)): New dependency declaration (dummy, but
+	required in order to have make actually produce expected log
+	files from the `.instspc.log' suffix rule).
+	(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES, generated_tests): Don't extend with
+	$(instspc_tests) anymore.
+	Update comments.

+	maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
+	The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains

+	error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
+	builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').

+
+	tests: optimize `instspc-*.test' for speed
+	After the split of `instspc.test' into various generated tests,
+	the running time of the testsuite has noticeably increased, since
+	all these new generated tests must run aclocal, autoconf and
+	automake, whereas previously they were run only once (at the
+	beginning of `instspc.test').  But luckily, since the new tests
+	share the same input files for the autotools, this situation can
+	be easily worked around (at the expenses of a slight increase of
+	complexity for the testsuite scaffolding).
+	* tests/instspc-data.test: New helper test, properly calling
+	the `instspc-tests.sh' script to generate input data for the
+	others `instspc-*.test' tests.
+	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add `instspc-data.test'.

+	When sourced by the `instspc-*.test' tests, use those previously
+	created files instead of recreating them from scratch.
+	(unindent, create_input_data): New subroutines.

+
+	yacc: "make clean" removes .c and .h files from non-distributed .y
+	Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
+	files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources, it still caused
+	them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
+	simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
+	This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
+	those generated .c and .h files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES
+	by hand.
+	This change fixes this issue, by making non-distributed `.c' and
+	`.h' files generated by non-distributed Yacc sources cleaned by
+	"make clean".
+	* tests/automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Make C source and
+	header files derived from non-distributed Yacc files cleaned by

+
+	Fix parallel testsuite run with Zsh.
+	This change deals with a Zsh incompatibility in the handling
+	of the special shell variable `$0' in sourced files; this
+	incompatibility used to cause utter breakage when the
+	Automake testsuite was run in parallel mode with Zsh as
+	the $(TEST_LOG_COMPILER).
+	For more information, please refer to the thread "Fix parallel
+	testsuite run with zsh" on automake-patches, dated 2010-12-22:
+	 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-12/msg00135.html>
+	This change works around the problems described above for Zsh 4.3
+	or later, and offers better error messages (instead of random
+	failures) for earlier Zsh version.
+	* tests/README (Supported shells): When describing the manual
+	workaround about the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0',
+	tell that it is now needed only with Zsh versions preceding 4.3.
+	Done also some minor rewordings.
+	* tests/defs-static.in ($argv0): New variable, offers a workaround
+	for the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0'.
+	Abort if that variable cannot be correctly set (can happen only
+	in older Zsh version).
+	* tests/defs ($me): Define using `$argv0', not `$0'.
+
+2010-12-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Tests defs: keep track of original $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL values.

+
+	distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
+	* tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
+	its output each time for a single error message, rather than
+	running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
+	all the expected error messages.  This should work around make
+	implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
+	information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:

+	* tests/stamph2.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
+	Use proper m4 quoting in `configure.in'.
+
+2010-11-11  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Tests defs: improve messages for skipped tests.
+	* tests/defs: Give meaningful messages about the reasons of a
+	test skip; this is especially useful as this file is run without
+	verbose xtraces on.  Related reorderings in the code and new
+	comments.
+
+2010-11-10  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Tests defs: move static definitions in a new file `defs-static'.
+	The new file is meant to be idempotent w.r.t. multiple inclusions.
+	* tests/defs.in: Removed, its contents split among ...
+	* tests/defs-static.in: ... this new file ...
+	* tests/defs: ... and this new file, including the former.
+	* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove `tests/defs', add
+	`tests/defs-static'.
+	(AC_CONFIG_LINKS): Add `tests/defs'.
+	* tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Update.
+	($(instspc_tests)): Likewise.
+	* tests/.gitignore: Update.
+
+	Tests defs: $testsbuilddir is now AC_SUBST'ed.
+	* tests/defs.in ($testsbuilddir): Substitute from @abs_builddir@.
+	Add sanity check on $testsbuilddir, similar to those on
+	$testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir.
+
+	Tests defs: do not print message "Running test $0" anymore.
+	* tests/defs.in: Printing the message "=== Running test $0" at
+	the beginning of each tests made sense when Automake used the old
+	test-driver, which sent all the output directly to stdout/stderr.
+	Now that the parallel test-driver is used, which saves output of
+	each test in its corresponding log file, that old message is just
+	useless noise.
+
+	Tests defs: rename $curdir -> $testbuilddir
+	* tests/defs.in: Rename $curdir to $testbuildir, for clarity and
+	consistency with $testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir.
+
+	Tests defs: prefer "$curdir" over "`pwd`".
+	* tests/defs.in: We already save the value of `pwd` in $curdir
+	early in the file, so there no need to recalculate it later, when
+	the current working directory is not changed.
+
+	Tests defs: use `$me' in more error messages.
+	* tests/defs.in: Also use `$me' in error messages referring to
+	missing `defs' or `defs.in', since that variable is now defined
+	before those checks.
+
+	Tests defs: do not use `Exit' where plain `exit' suffices.
+	* tests/defs.in: Use "exit 77" rather than "Exit 77" to skip the
+	test when required libtool/gettext macros are not found, since
+	such skips would take place before the exit trap is installed.
+
+	Tests defs: improve and extends comments.
+	* tests/defs.in: Improve and extends some comments, especially in
+	relation with the changes introduced by the previous reordering.
+
+	Tests defs: various reorderings.
+	* tests/defs.in: Reordered various snippets of code in a
+	clearer way.
+
+2010-11-09  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Fix bug in test `backcompat4.test' (stale autom4te cache).
+	* tests/backcompat4.test: Remove stale autom4te cache directory
+	before re-running aclocal and automake.  Also, since we are at
+	it, be more verbose in displaying contents of generated files,
+	to ease debuggability.
+	Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
+
+2010-11-07  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
+	* lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
+	"appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
+	later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
+	character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
+	escaped newlines.  This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
+	where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
+	* tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
+	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+	Reported by Andy Wingo.
+
+2010-11-07  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Modernize, improve and/or tweak various test scripts.
+	* tests/stamph2.test: Improve m4 quoting in `configure.in', and
+	prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
+	* tests/syntax.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps.
+	* tests/copy.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag.  Extend test by
+	checking with `test' utility that the script `install-sh' is
+	copied, but not symlinked.
+	* tests/depdist.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
+	in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs).  Avoid obsoleted
+	constructs in generated `configure.in'.  Prefer to do our checks
+	by running configure and make over grepping Makefile.in.
+	* tests/target-cflags: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag
+	earlier in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use the
+	`configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than writing it
+	from scratch.
+	* tests/target-clash: Do not uselessly run autoconf.
+	* tests/ctarget1.test: Renamed ...
+	* tests/cond-basic.test: ... to this.  Use the `configure.in' stub
+	created by `./defs', rather than writing it from scratch.
+	Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just
+	after inclusion of ./defs).  Other minor cosmetic changes.
+	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
+
+2010-11-06  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	New tests on obsoleted usages of automake/autoconf macros (such
+	as AC_INIT, AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE and AC_OUTPUT).

+	* tests/backcompat3.test: Likewise.
+	* tests/backcompat4.test: Likewise.
+	* tests/backcompat5.test: Likewise.
+	* tests/backcompat6.test: Likewise.
+	* tests/init.test: Extended and improved, esp. by trying more
+	combinations of calls to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE with few
+	arguments.
+	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
+
+2010-11-06  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
+	* automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
+	if control structure in a generated make rules.  Bug introduced
+	by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
+	of test `vala2.test'.
+
+2010-11-01  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+	Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
+	* doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
+	modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
+	* NEWS: Update.
+	* automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
+	stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
+	(lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
+	and header remaking.
+	* lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
+	passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
+	* lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
+	%STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
+	* tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
+	New tests.
+	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+2010-11-05  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Fix potential bug in generated tests `instpc-*.test'.
+	This bug is due to the changes introduced by the recently-merged
+	"tests-init" branch.  In that branch, `tests/defs' didn't define
+	anymore `$srcdir', instead defining directly `$testsrcdir'; but
+	the generated tests were using `$srcdir', hence the bug.
+	Luckily, since the Automake parallel test driver automatically
+	exports `srcdir' to a proper value, that prevented the bug from
+	manifesting itself.
+	* tests/Makefile.am ($(instspc_tests)): In the generated test
+	scripts, use `$testsrcdir', not `$srcdir'.
+
+2010-11-03  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Overhauled and modularized tests in `instspc.test'.
+	The test `instspc.test' was way too big and fragile.  Its running
+	time was very long.  It also produced a log that was nearly
+	unreadable due to its length, making it very difficult to find
+	out the reason for failures.
+	Also, it was too much monolithic, with a single (maybe spurious)
+	failure in a corner case causing the whole test to fail (even if
+	everything worked as expected in the other 99% of cases).
+	The present change should solve these problems, by separating
+	`instspc.test' into many smaller, self-contained, auto-generated
+	tests.
+	* tests/instspc.test: Removed.
+	* tests/instspc-tests.sh: New script, fulfilling a double role:
+	1. it generates a Makefile.am snippet `tests/instspc-tests.am',
+	containing the definition of a list of new tests which will take
+	over the older `instspc.test', and
+	2. it is sourced by said generated tests with proper parameters
+	pre-set, to run the "meat" of the checks.
+	This apparent abuse is indeed required because the test generation
+	code and test execution code are inevitably intertwined.
+	* tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/instspc-tests.am): Include this
+	snippet, which (among the other things) defines ...
+	(instspc_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list of the
+	newly generated `instspc*.test' tests, and ...
+	(instspc_xfail_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list
+	of the `instspc*.test' tests expected to fail.
+	($(instspc_tests)): New rule, generates the `instspc*.test' tests.
+	($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): New rule, registers the dependency
+	of all `instspc*.test' tests on the `instspc-tests.sh' script.
+	(TESTS): Add `$(instspc_tests)', remove `instspc.test'.
+	(XFAIL_TESTS): Add `$(xfail_instspc_tests)'.
+	(EXTRA_DIST): Distribute instspc-tests.sh.
+	(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Added $(instspc_tests).
+	Other minor cosmetic changes.
+	* bootstrap: Generate instspc-tests.am.
+	* tests/.gitignore: Updated.
+
+2010-11-01  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+	Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.
+	* doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
+	(Introduction): Refer to it.
+
+2010-10-07  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>
+
+	depcomp: add new one-pass depmode for MSVC 7 and later.
+	* lib/depcomp: Add new depmodes 'msvc7' and 'msvc7msys' which
+	make use of the -showIncludes option added in MSVC 7.
+	* m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Handle the new depmodes
+	similarly to 'msvisualcpp' and 'msvcmsys' as MSVC does not
+	support the -o option.
+
+2010-10-04  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Add support for newer python versions.
+	* m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
+	_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST.  Since we are at it, break a long
+	line and fix indentation.
+	* THANKS: Updated.
+	From a report by Thomas Klausner.
+
+	Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
+	* tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
+	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+	Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
+	* tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
+	flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
+	* tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
+	* tests/help.test: Likewise.  Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
+	instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
+	please maintainer-check.
+	* tests/help2.test: Likewise.
+
+2010-10-03  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+	    Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+	Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
+	* tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
+	flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
+	to better honour user-overrides.  Similarly for aclocal.
+	* tests/help2.test: Likewise.

+
+	Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
+	* doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables

+2010-10-02  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+	Coverage and minor fixes for variable typo detection.

+	Suggested by Eric Blake.
+
+	tests: avoid running into timing issues due to sanity change.

+	* tests/python11.test: Use --force for repeated autotools runs.
+	Reports from the NixOS Hydra build daemon via Ludovic Courtès.
+
+	Fix timestamp issues by ensuring configure takes at least a second.
+	* m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): If we didn't sleep here,
+	start a sleep in the background and wait for it to finish
+	before creating config.status, hopefully fixing all spurious
+	testsuite failures involving botched time stamps.
+	* NEWS: Update.
+	Reports by Ludovic Courtès, Peter Breitenlohner, and others.
+
+2010-10-02  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

+2010-09-26  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
+	* tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
+	it, rather than removing already present files.  Run the aclocal
+	and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
+	$AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL.  Be sure to correctly match literal dots
+	in aclocal's and automake's stderr.  Add a trailing `:' command.
+	* tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
+	`--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
+	* tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
+	`--version' take precedence on the other options.
+	* tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
+	`--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
+	line wins.

+
+	Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used.
+	* doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'

+	seems to have been removed, substituted by multiple release
+	tarballs now).
+
+2010-09-21  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>
+
+	compile: implement library search to support MSVC static linking
+	* lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): Implement library search and
+	-static option so that the user can select whether to prefer
+	dll import libraries or static libraries.  This enables MSVC to
+	link against dlls generated by libtool without requiring libtool
+	or workarounds such as -lfoo.dll etc.  Makes the tests/static.at
+	test case in libtool pass.
+	* tests/compile3.test: Don't trip up if there happens to exist

+
+	Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.

+
+	Modernize and improve test scripts `subdir*.test'.
+	* tests/subdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related

+	rather than writing one from scratch.
+	* tests/subdir2.test: Likewise.
+	* tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
+	* tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
+	changes.  Do not create useless dummy source files.

+	and in subdirs) stricter.  Some minor changes to keep it more
+	in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.

+	trailing `:' command.
+	* tests/subdir10.test: Cosmetic consistency-related change.
+	* tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
+	(configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
+	it from scratch.  Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
+	autoconf/automake macros.
+
+	Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
+	* tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
+	a $MAKE call.  Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
+	* tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the

+	* tests/distlinks.test: Likewise.
+
+2010-07-18  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Improve and extend test cond5.test.
+	* tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
+	the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
+	at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
+	and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
+	priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
+	Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
+	standard error.
+	Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
+	Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
+	writing one from scratch.

+	defined).
+
+	Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
+	* tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
+	`foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is

+	* tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
+	* tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
+	* tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

+	never used.
+
+2010-06-24  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
+	* tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
+	instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
+
+2010-06-21  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
+	`make dist' to fail.

+2010-06-21  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
+	$(FLAGS) precedence.
+	* automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
+	"Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over

+
+	New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
+	$(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
+	* tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
+	precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS).  Still
+	xfailing.

+
+	Tests defs: truly get rid of `$am_defs_included' (unused variable)

+	* tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
+	`./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.  Move the call
+	to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

+	command is always displayed.
+
+	Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
+	* tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
+	output produced by `make'.
+	* tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
+
+	Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.

+	* tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
+	* tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
+	* tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
+	* tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
+	command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
+
+	Improved test silent5.test.
+	* tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
+	non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
+	Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
+	removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
+	not trigger a different set of rules.  Make grepping of make's
+	output stricter.  Improved/added some comments.
+
+	New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
+	* tests/silentf77.test: New test.
+	* tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
+	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.

+	make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
+	it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
+	* tests/silent2.test: Likewise.

+
+	Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
+	* tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag.  Related and
+	unrelated minor changes.  Make the grepping of the generated

+	the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
+
+2010-05-23  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+	Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.

+
+2010-05-23  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
+	Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
+	autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
+	and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
+	required configure 2.61a-341 or later.  This change should
+	eliminate such inconsistencies.
+	* configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
+	Use it throughout.
+
+2010-05-23  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

+
+	Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
+	* Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
+	not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
+
+	Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
+	* doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
+	* tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
+	Require GNU make.
+
+2010-05-23  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
+	* tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
+	an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
+
+	Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
+	* tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag.  Also, avoid
+	unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
+
+	Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
+	* tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
+	instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
+	since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter.  Do not SKIP the test
+	if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.

+	* doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
+	missing closing parenthesis.
+
+	Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
+	* automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
+	macros_dump.  Print actual error before list of variables.
+
+2010-04-22  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
+	* tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
+	too.
+
+2010-04-25  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+	testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
+	* tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
+	tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
+	tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
+	grepping it.
+
+2010-04-20  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
+	* tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'.  Due to this change,
+	an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
+	was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
+	Also, bumped the copyright years.
+
+	Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
+	* tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
+	an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
+
+	Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
+	* tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
+	changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
+	Also, bumped copyright years.
+
+2010-04-20  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+	Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
+	* lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
+	$configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
+	have been parsed.
+	(require_variables): Initialize it here.
+	* tests/configure.test: New test.
+	* tests/Makefile.am: Update.
+	Report by Stefano Lattarini.
+
+2010-04-20  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
+	* tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
+	copyright years.  Due to this change, any unexpected failure
+	in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
+	a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
+	cause the whole test to fail.
+
+2010-04-17  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
+	* lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:

+
+2010-04-14  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
+	* tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...

+
+2010-04-12  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

+	* tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag.  Improve
+	test description.
+
+2010-04-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+	Print 'warnings are treated as errors' note if needed.
+	* lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fix typo in comment.
+	(_print_message): If -Werror is enabled, print a 'warnings are
+	treated as errors' note before the first such warning.
+	* tests/warnopts.test: Adjust comment to mention expected warning.
+	Adjust code to ignore 'warnings are treated as errors' note.
+	* tests/location.test: Adjust expected output with -Werror.

+	(sc_tests_logs_duplicate_prefixes): New rule, to check for
+	wrong-looking warning and error messages in the test suite logs.
+	* aclocal.in (scan_configure_dep, scan_file): Remove duplicate
+	`warning: ' prefix.
+	* tests/vars3.test: Rename variable to avoid false positive.
+
+	Prepend type to warning, error, and fatal messages.
+	For the first part of messages of types `error' or `fatal',
+	prepend `error: ' to the message.  Prepend `warning: ' to
+	warning messages, whatever the setting of -Werror.
+	* lib/Automake/Channels.pm (partial): Move up definition.
+	(_format_message): Emit `header' and `footer' strings only with
+	the first resp. last part of a set of partial messages.
+	* lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Add missing '1;' statement at the
+	end of the module.
+	(Automake::ChannelDefs): Setup warning channels with header
+	`warning: ', error and fatal messages with header `error: '.
+	* tests/condinc2.test, tests/ltinstloc.test: Adjust expected
+	error messages.
+	* tests/comment5.test: Likewise.  Also, include stack notes
+	should not start with `error:'.
+	* tests/location.test: Likewise.  Also, try both -Werror and
+	-Wno-error.
+	* NEWS: Update.
+	Report by Bruno Haible.
+
+	Fix capitalization of error messages, reword one message.
+	* lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Do not capitalize the first
+	word in the error message.
+	* automake.in (require_file_internal): Likewise.  Also, reword

+	Adjust tests.
+
+	Fix connected warnings about obsolete exeext override.
+	* lib/Automake/Rule.pm (define): Merge two warnings that belong
+	together, by setting the 'partial' flag for the first one.
+
+	Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
+	Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
+	Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
+	treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
+	and unstable exit status values.
+	* lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
+	(drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
+	$warnings_are_errors.
+	* tests/werror3.test: New test.
+	* tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
+	* NEWS: Update.
+
+2010-04-11  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
+	* tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
+	`test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
+	that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
+
+	Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
+	* tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'.  Fail if $ACLOCAL
+	succeeds unexpectedly.
+
+	Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
+	* tests/distlinks.test: New test.
+	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
+	Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
+
+2010-04-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

+
+2010-04-11  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Avoid possible false negatives in cond46.test.
+	* tests/cond46.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag (and bumped
+	copyright years).  Due to this change, the testcase should now
+	fail on unexpected failures in calls to $ACLOCAL/$AUTOMAKE (whose
+	outcomes were previously unchecked), and on failures in grepping
+	the expected diagnostic in Automake stderr.
+
+2010-04-04  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Generated tests are now just a thin layer around other tests.
+	* tests/Makefile.am: Rewrite the rule to generate the `*-p.test'
+	test scripts so that any of them simply includes the corresponding
+	`*.test' script (after setting `$parallel_tests' to `yes').
+	* tests/.gitignore: Add wildcard for temporary files used in the
+	generation of `*-p.test' tests.
+
+2010-03-30  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+	Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
+	* Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
+	in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
+	and readonly).
+
+	Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
+	* Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
+	$(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
+	symlink targets).  Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
+	distdir.am.
+
+2010-03-28  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+	Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
+	* doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
+	Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
+	Suggested by Karl Berry.
+
+2010-03-13  Karl Berry  <karl@freefriends.org>
+
+	GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
+	* doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
+	change.
+
+2010-03-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+	Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
+	* automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
+	lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,

+	m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
+
+2010-03-04  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+	    Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+	Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
+	* tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
+	`AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
+	variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
+	* tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
+	(check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
+	(clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
+	($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
+	adjusted.
+	* tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
+	scripts adjusted.
+	* tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'

+
+2010-03-04  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+

+
+* think about how per-object flags should work.  in particular:
+  * how should they be specified?
+    using the object name is confusing when .lo/.obj in use
+    however, the object name provides a nice interaction with
+    per-exe flags
+  * how should they interact with per-executable flags?
+  [ this is probably a feature in search of a problem ]
+
+* cross-compilation support:
+  programs built and used by the build process need to be
+  built for CC_FOR_BUILD
+  introduce a new prefxi for this, e.g. `build_PROGRAMS'
+  [ we can do this in an automatic way I think.
+    unfortunately it isn't that useful until autoconf has support
+    for this sort of thing as well ]
+
+* one performance enhancement would be to have autoconf write
+  a single file containing all the macro assignments.
+  then read this file via `include'
+  unfortunately this can't be done because of conditionals
+  -- but it could be made to work if we also changed:
+    * automake to rewrite @FOO@ to $(FOO), and
+    * the implementation of conditionals to rely on some new
+      config.status magic
+
+* support prog_LIBS as override for LIBS
+
+* Test subdir-objects option with yacc, lex, ansi2knr
+  Our locking scheme won't prevent a parallel make from losing
+  if there are two `bar.o' files and the timing is just right
+  This only happens with parallel make and no-`-c -o' compiler,
+  so it probably isn't very important
+  `-c -o' when doing libtool
+  try to find a losing compiler and see if it really works.
+  (actually: hack config.cache and do it)
+
+* per-exe flags
+** LIBOBJS shouldn't be used when there are per-exe flags (?)
+
+* Allow creation of Java .zip/.jar files in natural way
+  If you are building a compiled Java library, then the .zip/.jar
+  ought to be made automatically.
+
+* examine possibility of using any character in a macro name
+  and rewriting names automatically.  this means we must rewrite
+  all references as well.
+  [ this is a 2.0-style feature ]
+
+* `distcheck' and `dist' should depend on `all'
+
+* Add code to generate foo-config script like gnome, gtk
+
+* document user namespace for macro/target names
+  adopt some conventions and use uniformly
+    [ this is a good thing for the rewrite ]
+
+* distclean must remove config.status
+  can't this cause problems for maintainer-clean?
+  shouldn't maintainer-clean print the message before running
+  any part of the make?  (just to slow things down long enough
+  for the user to stop it)
+  (maybe doesn't matter since people who even know about
+  maintainer-clean already have a clue)
+
+* reintroduce AM_FUNC_FNMATCH which sets LIBOBJS
+  Then have automake know about fnmatch.h.
+    [ probably should wait for autoconf to get right functionality ]
+
+* "make diff" capability
+  look at gcc's Makefile.in to see what to do
+  or look at maint program
+
+* in --cygnus, clean-info not generated at top level
+
+* what if an element of a scanned variable looks like
+	$(FOO).$(BAR)  ?
+  or some other arbitrary thing?
+  right now we try to cope, but not very well
+    [ this is only of theoretical interest for now ]
+    [ We now have an 'inner_expand' option to traverse_recursively,
+      but it is not yet used. ]
+
+* make sure every variable that is used is also defined
+    [ we don't really look at variable uses in detail.
+      2.0 thing ]
+
+* make sure `missing' defines are generated
+
+* missing should handle install -d and rmdir -p (for uninstall)
+
+* NORMAL_INSTALL / NORMAL_UNINSTALL -vs- recursive rules
+  [ requires changes to the standard ]
+
+* should not put texiname_TEXINFOS into distribution
+  should rename this macro anyway, to foo_texi_DEPENDENCIES
+
+* For now I guess I'll just have automake give an error if it encounters
+non-C source in a libtool library specification.
+
+* if program has the same name as a target, do something sensible:
+  - if the target is internal, rename it
+  - if the target is mandated (eg, "info"), tell the user
+    consider auto-modifying the program name to work around this
+
+* should separate actual options from strictness levels
+  strictness should only cover requirements
+  You should be able to pick and choose options
+
+having just one Makefile for a project would give a big speed increase
+for a project with many directories, eg glibc.  ideally (?) you'd
+still be able to have a Makefile.am in each directory somehow; this
+might make editing conceptually easier.
+
+* finish up TAGS work
+
+* only remove libtool at top level?
+
+* clean up source directory by moving stuff into subdirs
+
+* consider adding other variables similar to pkglibexecdir?
+  requests for pkg-dirs with version included
+
+Avoid loops when installing; instead unroll them in automake
+[ Impossible when @AC_SUBST@ values are used. ]
+
+Some long-term projects:
+* if $(FOO) is used somewhere, ensure FOO is defined, either by
+  user or by automake if possible
+
+[ include, += support ]
+* even better would be allowing targets in different included
+  fragments to be merged.  e.g., `install-local'.
+
+consider putting all check-* targets onto @check?
+
+take diff-n-query code from libit
+
+Per Bothner says:
+Per> 1) Being able to build a set of non-source programs
+Per> from source programs, without necessarily linking them together.
+Per> I.e. one should be able to say something like:
+Per> 	dummy_SOURCES=foo.c bar.c
+Per> and automake should realize that it needs to build foo.o and bar.o.
+Per> 2) Being intelligent about new kinds of suffixes.
+Per> If it sees:
+Per> 	SUFFIXES = .class .java
+Per> and a suffix rule of the form:
+Per> 	.java.class:
+Per> then it should be able to realize it can build .class files from
+Per> .java files, and thus be able to generate a list of
+Per> .class files from a list of .java source files.
+[What Per wanted here was a way to have automate automatically follow
+suffix rules.  So for instance if you had a `.x.y:' rule, and automake
+saw a `.x' file, it would automatically build and install the
+corresponding `.y' file.]
+
+Jim's idea: should look for @setfilename and warn if filenames too long
+* guess split size
+
+from joerg-martin schwarz:
+ -- If Makefile.am contains $(CC), $(COMPILE), $(YLWRAP), ....
+    in an explicitly written rule,  you should emit the corresponding
+    Makefile variables automatically.
+
+From the GNU Standards.  These things could be checked, and probably
+should be if --gnu.
+*    Make sure that the directory into which the distribution unpacks (as
+well as any subdirectories) are all world-writable (octal mode 777).
+*   Make sure that no file name in the distribution is more than 14
+characters long.
+*    Don't include any symbolic links in the distribution itself.
+     (ditto hard links)
+*    Make sure that all the files in the distribution are world-readable.
+
+should be able to determine what is built by looking at rules (and
+configure.in).  Then built man pages (eg) could automatically be
+omitted from the distribution.
+
+Right now, targets generated internally (eg "install") are not
+overridable by user code.  This should probably be possible, even
+though it isn't very important.  This could be done by generating all
+internal rules via a function call instead of just appending to
+$output_rules.
+ [ this will be harder to implement when scanning a rule like all-recursive
+   from subdirs.am ]
+
+Other priorities:
+* Must rewrite am_install_var.  Should break into multiple functions.
+  This will allow the callers to be a little smarter.
+* Rewrite clean targets.
+* Fix up require_file junk.
+
+djm wants ``LINKS'' variable; list of things to link together after
+install.  In BSD environment, use:
+	LINKS = from1 to1 from2 to2 ...
+
+Need way to say there are no suffixes in a Makefile (Franc,ois'
+"override" idea suffices here)
+
+Check to make sure various scripts are executable (IE when looking for
+them in a directory)
+
+Add support for html via an option.  Use texi2html.  Use
+"html_TEXINFOS", and htmldir = .../html.  Include html files in
+distribution.  Also allow "html_DATA", for raw .html files.
+  [ when will texinfo directly support html? ]
+See also Karl Berry's message on a roadmap for a "info -> html"
+transition:
+<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/texinfo-devel/2012-03/msg00018.html>
+
+uninstall and pkg-dirs should rm -rf the dir.
+
+In general most .am files should be merged into automake.  For
+instance all the "clean" targets could be merged by keeping lists of
+things to be removed.  This would be a lot nicer looking.  Note that
+the install targets probably should not be merged; it is sometimes
+useful to only install a small part.
+
+* Lex, yacc support:
+** It would be nice to automatically support using bison's better features
+  to rename the output files.  This requires autoconf support
+** Consider supporting syntax from autoconf "derived:source", eg:
+	y.tab.c:perly.y
+  for yacc and lex source
+** what if you use flex and the option to avoid -lfl?
+  should support this?
+
+* Multi-language support:
+** should have mapping of file extensions to languages
+** should automatically handle the linking issue (special-case C++)
+** must get compile rules for various languages; FORTRAN probably
+  most important unimplemented language
+This should be integrated in some way with Per's idea.
+Eg .f.o rules should be recognized & auto-handled in _SOURCES
+That way any random language can be treated with C/C++ on a first-class
+basis (maybe)
+
+It might be cool to generate .texi dependencies by grepping for
+@include.  (If done, it should be done the same way C dependencies are
+done)
+[ Ask Karl Berry for a -M option to makeinfo and texi2dvi? ]
+
+It would be good to check some parts of GNU standards.  Already check
+for install-sh and mkinstalldirs.  What else is required to be in
+package by GNU standards or by automake?
+Some things for --strictness=gnits:
+* "cd $(foo); something" is an error in a rule.  Should be:
+  "cd $(foo) && something"
+* Look for 'ln -s' and warn about using $(LN_S) and AC_PROG_LN_S
+* Look for $(LN_S) and require AC_PROG_LN_S
+
+Auto-distribute "ChangeLog.[0-9]+"?  "ChangeLog.[a-z]+"?
+
+Check all source files to make sure that FSF address is up-to-date.
+--gnits or --gnu only.
+
+Merge each -vars.am file with corresponding ".am" file.  Can do this
+because of changes to &file_contents.
+
+Should libexec programs have the name transform done on them?
+
+Order the output rules sensibly, so FOO_SOURCES and FOO_OBJECTS are
+together and rules are in the usual order.

+================================================================
+
+Stuff for aclocal:
+
+probably should put each group of m4 files into a subdir owned by the
+containing application.
+
+================================================================
+
+Document:
+
+AM_MISSING_PROG
+
+how to use the generated makefiles
+ - standard targets
+ - required targets
+ - NORMAL_INSTALL junk
+
+rationale for avoiding
+	make CFLAGS="$CFLAGS" ...
+in subdirs make rule
+
+write example of using automake with dejagnu
+follow calc example in dejagnu docs
+
+document which variables are actually scanned and which are not.
+
+Document customary ordering of Makefile.am.  From François.
+
+Should include extended version of diagram from Autoconf (suggested by
+Greg Woods)
+
+Make a definition of the term "source"
+
+document how to use Automake with CVS.  Idea from Mark Galassi.  Also
+include Greg Woods' more sophisticated "cvs-dist" target.
+
+-- must document all variables that are supposed
+   to be public knowledge
+
+must document the targets required for integration with
+non-automake-using subdirs
+
+document the "make SHELL='/bin/sh -x'" trick for debugging
+
+section on relationship to GNU make.  include notes on parallel makes
+
+add a concept index
+
+move discussion of cygwin32, etags, mkid under other gnu tools
+
+CCLD, CXXLD, FLD
+
+================================================================
+
+Libraries:
+
+* Should support standalone library along with subdir library in same
+  Makefile.am.  Maybe: turn off "standalone" mode if library's Makefile.am
+  is not only one specd? [ add an option for this ]
+
+================================================================
+
+Longer term:
+
+Would it be useful to integrate in some way with the Debian package
+building utility?  Must check.  maybe it would be possible to deal
+with all the different package utilities somehow.  Lately I've been
+hearing good things about the RedHat packaging utilities.  Why are
+there so many of these?  Are they fun to write or something?
+The RedHat package utility is called RPM; see
+	ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/code/rpm
+It actually has problems, like no configure script and no documentation.
+
+For Cygnus it would probably be good to be able to handle the native
+package utility on each platform.  There are probably 3 or 4 of these
+(sysv, solaris?, aix?)
+
+tcl/unix/Makefile.in has some code to generate a Solaris package.
+
+Automake probably can't do all of this on its own.  A new tool might
+be a better idea
+
+I have some notes from a Debian developer on how the integration
+should work
+
+================================================================
+
+A tool to guess what the local Makefile.am should look like:
+(see Gord's Maint program!)
+
+* Probably integrate with autoscan
+* Use various simple rules to determine what to do:
+  * get name of top directory, sans version info
+  * search for .c files with 'main' in them
+    * if in main.c, use directory name for program
+    * if in more than one, generate multiple programs
+    * if not found, generate a library named after directory
+  * order subdir searches correctly: lib first, src last
+  * assume 'testsuite' dir means we are using dejagnu
+* maybe be smart about reading existing Makefile.am, so tool
+  can be run for incremental changes?  You could imagine:
+
+	Makefile.am:
+		autoproject --incremental
+
+================================================================
+
+Stuff NOT to do, and why:
+
+consider auto-including any file that matches "*.in".
+  [ no: po/Makefile.in shouldn't be included ]
+
+must look at mkid to see how it works (for subdir usage)
+  [ right now, it doesn't.  i don't see a simple fix right now ]
+
+if configure.in not found, move up a directory and try again?  This
+could eliminate a common source of problems.
+  [ this is just a bad idea ]
+
+* scripts are installed in $exec_prefix/bin, not $prefix/bin
+  Bug or feature?
+  [ the consensus on Gnits is that this isn't required.
+    doubters can work around it anyway ]
+
+Scan source directories and warn about missing files, eg .c/.h files
+that aren't mentioned?
+  [ distcheck makes this less useful ]
+
+* quoting bugs
+  - how to install file with a space in its name?
+  [ don't bother with this -- make is just too losing ]
+
+* notice when a .c file is a target somewhere, and auto-add it to
+    BUILT_SOURCES
+  [ BUILT_SOURCES are for files that need to be built before anything
+    else because of hidden dependencies (something .c files are
+    unlikely to be) ]
+
+* Scan multiple input files when Makefile is generated?
+  This would provide flexibility for large projects; subsumes
+  the "Makefile.tmpl" idea
+ [ can't do this.  must explain why in manual.
+   basically, solving all the problems is too hard
+   like: how to remove redundancies between generated .in files
+   instead should implement `include' directive for Makefile.am ]
+
+* Should be a way to have "nobuild_PROGRAMS" which aren't even built,
+  but which could be by running the magic make command.
+  [ We already have EXTRA_PROGRAMS for this. ]
