2017-04-13tests: Update "t/txinfo-no-clutter.sh".Mathieu Lirzin1-1/+0
This is workaround to a regression introduced by 48107579abadbe857c8299c38d2ca0a3f8f354c8. With current "lib/texinfo.tex", 'texi2dvi' is not able to produce a valid output for a Texinfo document containing a @synindex command. As a consequence the test "t/txinfo-no-clutter.sh" was failing. * t/txinfo-no-clutter.sh: Remove use of @synindex command.
2017-03-05maint: Update "lib/texinfo.tex".Mathieu Lirzin1-1/+2
This fixes a regression in 48107579abadbe857c8299c38d2ca0a3f8f354c8 where 'texi2dvi' was not able to produce a valid output for a Texinfo document without text. As a consequence the test "t/silent-texi.sh" was failing. * lib/texinfo.tex: Update to 2017-03-05.09.

This change fixes automake bug#25413. * doc/automake.texi (Serial Test Harness): Fix typo.
2016-09-08automake: do not emit rule with two dependentsJim Meyering1-0/+1
On a system using our replacement alloca, make would emit this warning: target '.deps/alloca.Po' given more than once in the same rule That arose because automake would emit a rule depending on both ./.deps/alloca.Po and .deps/alloca.Po. Normally, duplicate dependents are avoided by virtue of their names being keys in the %dep_files hash, but in this case, that particular file was specified in two different ways. * bin/automake.in (handle_ALLOCA): When the $dir prefix is empty, make it './', to ensure that when we add ./.deps/alloca.Po it is deduped. See: http://bugs/gnu/org/22702
2016-04-20python: add python3.5, python3.4Paul Eggert1-1/+2
* m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python3.5, python3.4.
2016-03-31automake: port to Perl 5.22 and laterPaul Eggert1-1/+1
Without this change, Perl 5.22 complains "Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated" and this is planned to become a hard error in Perl 5.26. See: http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl-5.22.0/pod/perldelta.pod#A_literal_%22{%22_should_now_be_escaped_in_a_pattern * bin/automake.in (substitute_ac_subst_variables): Escape left brace.
2016-03-28automake: port better to future gzipPaul Eggert1-4/+14
* lib/am/distdir.am (dist-gzip, dist-shar, distcheck): Port better to future versions of gzip, which are planned to deprecate the GZIP environment variable (Bug#20132).
2016-01-12maint: port time-stamp-time-zone to strict POSIXPaul Eggert11-20/+20
Set time-stamp-time-zone to "UTC0", not to "UTC", as POSIX defines TZ="UTC0" not TZ="UTC".

This solves spurious failure in the 'check-no-trailing-backslash-in-recipes' target for Automake-NG. This is basically a backport of Automake-NG commit v1.14.1-1010-g85aae58; the point is to minimize the amount of spurious diffs between the mainline Automake and the Automake-NG source trees. * t/ax/shell-no-trail-bslash.in: Simplify and fortify. * t/self-check-shell-no-trail-bslash.sh: Enhance.

2014-12-23dist: fix bug#18286 "distcheck fails to detect missing files"Stefano Lattarini9-26/+58
BTW, this issue had been already reported in the past: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2006-09/msg00008.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2013-01/msg00049.html "make distcheck" could sometimes fail to detect missing files in the distribution tarball, especially in those cases where both the generated files and their dependencies are explicitly in $(srcdir). An important example of this are *generated* makefile fragments included at Automake time in Makefile.am. A basic example: # -*- Makefile.am -*- $(srcdir)/fragment.am: $(srcdir)/data.txt $(srcdir)/preproc.sh cd $(srcdir) && $(SHELL) preproc.sh <data.txt >fragment.am include $(srcdir)/fragment.am ... If the use forgot to add data.txt and/or preproc.sh in the distribution tarball, "make distcheck" would have erroneously succeeded! The reason is that, while $(srcdir)/data.txt does not exist, make also looks in $(srcdir)/$(srcdir)/data.txt, and in the distcheck-issued VPATH build where $(srcdir) is '..', that file exists, as it is part of the original development directory. * t/distdir.am (distcheck): Adjust to have the build directory be '$(distdir)/_build/sub' rather than just '$(distdir)/_build'. Thanks Nicola Fontana for the suggestion. * t/distcheck-pr18286.sh: Enhance and tighten a little. * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 't/distcheck-pr18286.sh', as it's now passing. * t/subdir-am-cond.sh: Adjust to avoid a fully spurious failure due to the new distcheck semantics. * t/subdir-ac-subst.sh: Likewise. * t/dejagnu-relative-srcdir.sh: Likewise. * t/txinfo-builddir.sh: Likewise. * NEWS: Update.

2014-12-23include: fix bug in handling of user-defined makefile fragments generationStefano Lattarini3-2/+18
If a user defined one single Makefile fragment to be included (via Automake includes) in his main Makefile.am, and gave a rule to generate that file from other data, Automake used to spuriously complain about with something like "overrides Automake target '$(srcdir)/foo.am". This change remove that spurious error (via a simple hack rather than a systematic change, but oh well). * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN-DEPS%) [?HAVE-MAKEFILE-IN-DEPS?]: Add a trailing "$(am__empty)" to the list of targets, which is enough to trick Automake into not complaining about "duplicated targets" in case the '%MAKEFILE-IN-DEPS%' list expands to a single target that is also declared in some user-defined rule. * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove now-passing test 't/am-include-only-one-generated-fragment.sh'. * NEWS: Update.

2014-12-22dist: ordering of files in DIST_COMMON is deterministic nowStefano Lattarini2-8/+12
It had likely stopped being deterministic due to the new perl behavior of having non-deterministic order of numerating hash keys: <http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl-5.18.0/pod/perldelta.pod#Hash_randomization> <http://onionstand.blogspot.ie/2012/12/are-you-relying-on-hash-keys-being.html> See also similar commit v1.14-19-g52e6404, albeit in this case the issue is likely coming from autom4te/autoconf, not from automake itself.
