+       * tests/tests-environment-backcompat.test: Do not override the

+
+       docs: AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS is for corner cases
+       * doc/automake.texi (Checking the Distribution): Explain that the
+       developers should take care of making their code buildable without
+       requiring any special configure options, so that in general
+       AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS shouldn't be used.  Give an example
+       of where its use is legitimate.
+       Suggestions from Ralf Wildenhues and Eric Blake.

+       * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

+
+       docs: primary/prefix combination "pkglib_PROGRAMS" is now invalid
+       * doc/automake.texi (Program Sources): pkglib_PROGRAMS is not a
+       valid combination anymore, so don't document it.  Inconsistency
+       introduced in commit `v1.11-373-g9ca6326'.
+
+2011-06-19  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>
+
+       docs: replace obsolete @vindex entry with a useful one
+       * doc/automake.texi (Program Sources): Do not index obsolete

+
+2011-06-13  Stefano Lattarini  <address@hidden>
+
+       tests: optimize tests on primary/prefix mismatch for speed
+       * tests/primary-prefix-invalid-couples.test: Partial rewrite, in
+       order to use just a single automake invocation rather than one
+       invocation for each invalid primary/prefix couple.  This improves
+       the test script execution time by an order of magnitude.
+       Since we are at it, throw in some other improvements to avoid
+       unrelated automake warnings and failures that could potentially
+       cause false positives w.r.t. the automake exit status.

+

+       * Makefile.am (sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline): It's now

+       on the make command line.  Update comments accordingly.  Since we
+       are at it, make the relevant grepping rules slightly tighter.
+
+2011-06-10  Stefano Lattarini  <address@hidden>
+
+       distcheck: add support for AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS
+       * doc/automake.texi (Checking the Distribution): Suggest to use
+       AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, not DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, to
+       define (in the top-level Makefile.am) extra flags to be passed
+       to configure at "make distcheck" time; DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS
+       should be reserved for the user.  Add proper address@hidden' directive.
+       Document that AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS is not honoured in a
+       subpackage Makefile.am, but the flags in it are passed down to
+       the configure script of the subpackage.
+       * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): Also pass the flags in
+       $(AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS) to the configure invocation.
+       Update comments.
+       * tests/defs.in.test (AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS,
+       DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS): Unset in case they are exported in
+       the environment, they might improperly influence our testsuite.

+2010-06-09  Stefano Lattarini  <address@hidden>
+
+       docs: better documentation for silent make rules
+       * doc/automake.texi (Options): Detailed description of the

+       (Silent Make): ... into this new chapter, expanded, improved,
+       and subdivided into ...
+       (Make verbosity, Tricks For Silencing Make,
+       Automake silent-rules Option): ... these new sections.
+       (@menu, @detailmenu): Update.
+       * tests/silent-configsite.test: New test, checking that the
+       user can control default mode of silent-rules from config.site,
+       as is documented in the manual.
+       * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
+
+2011-06-11  Stefano Lattarini  <address@hidden>
+
+       Warnings about primary/prefix mismatch fixed and extended.
+       * automake.in (%standard_prefix): Add `doc' and `locale'.

+       `pkgincludedir' and `pkglibexecdir'.
+       (handle_programs): List `pkglibexec', not `pkglib', among the
+       prefixes valid for the `PROGRAMS' primary.
+       (handle_data): List also `doc' among the prefixes valid for

+
+       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.in (fatal_): New function.
+       * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
+       Suggest the use of `fatal_', not of `framework_failure_', for
+       generic hard errors.  The latter should be reserved for "real"
+       set-up failures.
+
+2011-06-02  Stefano Lattarini  <address@hidden>
+
+       maintcheck: fix some failures, extend some checks
+       * Makefile.am (sc_diff_automake_in_automake): Update, as we
+       now expect 9 lines, not 8, to be changed from `automake.in'
+       to `automake'.
+       (sc_diff_aclocal_in_aclocal): New maintainer check, similar to
+       the above, and checking that only 10 lines are changed from
+       `aclocal.in' to `aclocal'.
+       (syntax_check_rules): Update.
+       (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Exempt self tests `self-check-*.test'
+       from this check, as they can legitimately use the bare `exit'
+       builtin in various places.
+       * doc/automake.texi (Python): Remove stray `@' from the end of
+       a line.  Typo introduced in commit `v1.11-312-g5bf7af6'.
+       * tests/depcomp8a.test: Pass DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to make
+       from the environment rather than from the command line, to
+       pacify the `sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline' maintainer
+       check.

+
+       remake: behave better with non-GNU make in subdirectories
+       Currently, with every decent make program, it is possible to
+       rebuild out-of-date autotools-generated files with a simple
+       "make Makefile" -- but for this to work reliably with non-GNU
+       make implementations, the command must be issued from the
+       top-level directory.  This patch removes such limitation.
+       * lib/am/configure.am (am--refresh): Depend on `%MAKEFILE%'.
+       * tests/defs.in (using_gmake): New function, backported from the
+       `master' branch (and simplified).
+       * tests/remake-subdir.test: New test.

+
+       automake, aclocal: honour configure-time AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE
+       Currently, the Automake's own configure script allow definition
+       of AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE, expected to point respectively to an
+       autoconf and autom4te programs.  But while these definitions are
+       honoured in the Automake's build systems and test suite, they
+       were *not* honoured in the generated `automake' and `aclocal'
+       scripts.  This behaviour, apart from being wrong in that it does
+       not allow the user enough freedom in choosing his tools, also
+       caused inconsistencies in the test suite, brining to spurious
+       failures.
+       Problem reported by Graham Reitz on the automake list; see thread:
+       <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-05/msg00022.html>
+       * automake.in ($traces): Use address@hidden', not simply `autoconf'.
+       * aclocal.in ($traces): Use address@hidden', not simply `autom4te'.
+       * Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute also address@hidden' and
+       address@hidden'.
+       * NEWS: Update.
+       * THANKS: Update.

+
+       build: the user can override AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE too
+       Our build system allows the user to override AUTOCONF and AUTOHEADER
+       at configure time, and honours these overrides in our testsuite.
+       But it didn't do the same with AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE.
+       This change fixes that inconsistency.
+       * configure.ac (am_AUTOM4TE, am_AUTOUPDATE, am_AUTORECONF): New
+       AC_SUBSTitutions.  Update comments.
+       * tests/defs.in ($AUTOUPDATE): Default to address@hidden@' now.
+       ($AUTOM4TE): New variable, defaulting to address@hidden@'.
+       ($AUTORECONF): New variable, defaulting to address@hidden@'.
+       * doc/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): Update.

+
+       tests/README: fix example about `make -e' usage
+       * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"): When
+       some variable is never initialized in the Makefile, `-e' is not
+       necessary in order to override it.  DESTDIR is such a variable: we
+       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

+       in-depth checks on DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS.

+
+2011-05-20  Stefano Lattarini  <address@hidden>
+
+       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).
+       * tests/pr401.test (parallel_tests): Define to "no", to prevent
+       the generation of a sibling test script using the 'parallel-tests'
+       driver.

+       to any other value.  Extend heading comments to give a rationale
+       for this behaviour.
+       * tests/README: Update.
+
+2011-05-20  Stefano Lattarini  <address@hidden>
+
+       tests/README: update obsoleted advice
+       * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
+       Do not suggest to use the `*-p.test' pattern for the names of
+       hand-written tests which use the `parallel-tests' Automake option.
+       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
+       suggesting not to override Makefile variables using command
+       line arguments, do not use the badly outdated variables `U'
+       and 'ANSI2KNR' in the example; instead, use the more common

+
+       tests defs: allow requirements for compilers (mostly dummy)
+       Most of the new requirements that are now accepted in `$required'
+       as consequence of this patch are still dummy.  They are planned
+       to be implemented only in master (or in some derived branch), but
+       having them here (even just as no-op) will allow for an easier
+       integration/backporting of potential new testcases.
+       * tests/defs.in (cc, c++, fortran, fortran77): New requirements,
+       still dummy.
+       (flex): New requirement, picking LEX for configure.

+* WARNING: Future backward-incompatibilities!
+
+  - The Automake support for automatic de-ANSI-fication will be removed in
+    the next major Automake release (1.12).
+
 * Miscellaneous changes:
 
   - The `lzma' compression scheme and associated automake option `dist-lzma'
     is obsoleted by `xz' and `dist-xz' due to upstream changes.
 
+  - A developer that needs to pass specific flags to configure at "make
+    distcheck" time can now, and indeed he's advised to, do so by defining
+    the developer-reserved makefile variable AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS,
+    instead of the old DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS.
+    The DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS variable should now be reserved for the
+    user; still, the old Makefile.am files that used to define it should
+    still continue to work as before.

address@hidden Make verbosity
address@hidden Make is verbose by default
+
+Normally, when executing the set of rules associated with a target,
address@hidden prints each rule before it is executed.  This behaviour,
+while having been in place for a long time, and being even mandated by
+the POSIX standard, starkly violates the ``silence is golden'' UNIX
address@hidden also
address@hidden://catb.org/~esr/writings/taoup/html/ch11s09.html}.}:
+
address@hidden
+When a program has nothing interesting or surprising to say, it should
+say nothing.  Well-behaved Unix programs do their jobs unobtrusively,
+with a minimum of fuss and bother.  Silence is golden.
address@hidden quotation
+
+In fact, while such verbosity of @command{make} can theoretically be
+useful to track bugs and understand reasons of failures right away, it
+can also hide warning and error messages from @command{make}-invoked
+tools, drowning them in a flood of uninteresting and seldom useful
+messages, and thus allowing them to go easily undetected.
+
+This problem can be very annoying, especially for developers, who usually
+know quite well what's going on behind the scenes, and for whom the
+verbose output from @command{make} ends up being mostly noise that hampers
+the easy detection of potentially important warning messages.
+
address@hidden Tricks For Silencing Make
address@hidden Standard and generic ways to silence make
+
+Here we describe some common idioms/tricks to obtain a quieter make
+output, with their relative advantages and drawbacks.  In the next
+section (@ref{Automake silent-rules Option}) we'll see how Automake
+can help in this respect.
+
address@hidden @bullet
+
address@hidden @command{make -s}
+
+This simply causes @command{make} not to print @emph{any} rule before
+executing it.
+
+The @option{-s} flag is mandated by POSIX, universally supported, and
+its purpose and function are easy to understand.
+
+But it also has its serious limitations too.  First of all, it embodies
+an ``all or nothing'' strategy, i.e., either everything is silenced, or
+nothing is; this lack of granularity can sometimes be a fatal flaw.
+Moreover, when the @option{-s} flag is used, the @command{make} output
+might turn out to be too much terse; in case of errors, the user won't
+be able to easily see what rule or command have caused them, or even,
+in case of tools with poor error reporting, what the errors were!
+
address@hidden @command{make >/dev/null || make}
+
+Apparently, this perfectly obeys the ``silence is golden'' rule: warnings
+from stderr are passed through, output reporting is done only in case of
+error, and in that case it should provide a verbose-enough report to allow
+an easy determination of the error location and causes.
+
+However, calling @command{make} two times in a row might hide errors
+(especially intermittent ones), or subtly change the expected semantic
+of the @command{make} calls --- things these which can clearly make
+debugging and error assessment very difficult.
+
address@hidden @command{make --no-print-directory}
+
+This is GNU @command{make} specific.  When called with the
address@hidden option, GNU @command{make} will disable
+printing of the working directory by invoked address@hidden (the
+well-known address@hidden/Leaving directory ...}'' messages).  This helps
+to decrease the verbosity of the output, but experience has shown that
+it can also often render debugging considerably harder in projects using
+deeply-nested @command{make} recursion.
+
+As an aside, notice that the @option{--no-print-directory} option is
+automatically activated if the @option{-s} flag is used.

address@hidden How Automake can help in silencing make
+
+The tricks and idioms for silencing @command{make} described in the
+previous section can be useful from time to time, but we've seen that
+they all have their serious drawbacks and limitations.  That's why
+automake provides support for a more advanced and flexible way of
+obtaining quieter output from @command{make}: the @option{silent-rules}
+mode.

address@hidden example
+
+Let's now see how the @option{silent-rules} mode interfaces with the
+package developer and the package user.
+
+To enable the use of @option{silent-rules} in his package, a developer
+needs to do either of the following:
+
address@hidden @bullet
address@hidden
+Add the @option{silent-rules} option as argument to @code{AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE}.
address@hidden
+Call the @code{AM_SILENT_RULES} macro from within the @file{configure.ac}
+file.
address@hidden itemize
+
+It is not possible to instead specify @option{silent-rules} in a
address@hidden file.
+
+If the developer has done either of the above, then the user of the
+package may influence the verbosity at @command{configure} run time as
+well as at @command{make} run time:
+
address@hidden @bullet
address@hidden
address@hidden --enable-silent-rules
address@hidden --disable-silent-rules
+Passing @option{--enable-silent-rules} to @command{configure} will cause
+build rules to be less verbose; the option @option{--disable-silent-rules}
+will cause normal verbose output.
address@hidden
address@hidden @code{V}
+At @command{make} run time, the default chosen at @command{configure}
+time may be overridden: @code{make V=1} will produce verbose output,
address@hidden V=0} less verbose output.
address@hidden itemize
+
address@hidden default verbosity for silent-rules
+Note that silent rules are @emph{disabled} by default; the user must
+enable them explicitly at either @command{configure} run time or at
address@hidden run time.  We think that this is a good policy, since
+it provides the casual user with enough information to prepare a good
+bug report in case anything breaks.
+
+Still, notwithstanding the rationales above, a developer who wants to
+make silent rules enabled by default in his own package can do so by
+adding a @samp{yes} argument to the @code{AM_SILENT_RULES} call in
address@hidden  We advise against this approach, though.
+
address@hidden Keep in sync with silent-configsite.test
+Users who prefer to have silent rules enabled by default can edit their
address@hidden file to make the variable @code{enable_silent_rules}
+default to @samp{yes}.  This should still allow disabling silent rules
+at @command{configure} time and at @command{make} time.
+
address@hidden FIXME: there's really a need to specify this explicitly?
+For portability to different @command{make} implementations, package authors
+are advised to not set the variable @code{V} inside the @file{Makefile.am}
