	Do not rely on Perl symlink status, for MSYS perl.
	* automake.in (require_file_internal): Ensure presence of
	symlink target file; MSYS perl symlink doesn't return an error
	status when the file could not be created (copied, on this

	    Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	Don't let an envvar setting of "$fail" cause build failure.
	Without this change, in a project using an automake-generated
	Makefile, "make fail=anything" would fail inappropriately,
	due to the `test -z "$$fail"' at the end of this emitted rule:
	* lib/am/subdirs.am ($(RECURSIVE_TARGETS)): Initialize "fail=" to keep
	an envvar setting of that variable from causing unwarranted failure.
	($(RECURSIVE_CLEAN_TARGETS)): Likewise.
	* tests/subdir10.test: New test.
	* tests/Makefile.am: Update.

2009-10-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	Improve description of the various *LINK variables.

	used instead of LINK.
	(How the Linker is Chosen): Document how a per-target _LINK
	variable and per-target link flags override linker selection.

	testsuite: unset installation directory variables.
	* tests/defs.in: Before test execution, be sure to unset all
	installation directory variables, so they cannot have an effect
	on a `make -e install' command within a test.
	Report by Dagobert Michelsen.

	testsuite: do not change the mode of installed Libtool files.
	* tests/defs.in: Do not use `chmod -R' on the test directory, 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.
	* NEWS: Update.
	Report by Dagobert Michelsen.

	* tests/libtool3.test: Do not use `$(top_builddir)/sub/libname.la'
	in *_LDADD entry if `$(top_builddir)' is `.'.  Fixes test failure
	with parallel NetBSD make.

	Correctly treat all assignments with bogus trailing comments.
	Before this patch, automake would silently fail to diagnose and
	to copy into the output those variable assignments which are
	preceded by a comment, and end in backslash newline comment.
	* automake.in (read_am_file): When determining whether an
	escaped newline followed by a comment is an error, correctly use
	the parser state, not the contents of a saved comment, which
	could still be carried over from a comment before an assignment.
	* NEWS: Update.
	* tests/commen11.test: New test.
	* tests/Makefile.am: Update.
	Report by Karl Berry.

2009-04-14  Karl Berry  <karl@freefriends.org>

	Ensure that empty directory variables work with empty content variables.
	This test ensures that, if both $(wheredir) and $(where_HOW) are

	* m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): When checking the msvisualcpp
	and msvcmsys depmodes, do not require `-c -o' to work just yet.
	It is not needed by the depcomp script for these depmodes, and
	works around the ordering issue between the tests.

	Solaris make testsuite fixes.
	* tests/check10.test: When a rule fails, Solaris make will
	output the complete command that failed; in this case the test
	suite driver.  Adjust the test to not bogusly match lines from
	the driver, rather than its output.
	* tests/distcleancheck.test: Avoid triggering VPATH rewriting,
	not desirable in this test.

	testsuite: SKIP compile tests if configure found no compiler.
	* tests/depend6.test: configure will exit 77 if AC_PROG_CC found

	libtool in the preprocessor invocation (as is done in
	depmode=cpp). Silence compiler stderr.
	[msvcmsys]: New depmode as a derivative of depmode=msvisualcpp.
	msvcmsys transforms any backslashes into forward slashes to
	make the grep in depend.m4 match, instead of the "cygpath -u"
	that is used in msvisualcpp.

2008-12-21  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	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.
	* lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): If %INSTALL-MAN% and %HAVE-MANS%,
	check that no man page in $(MANS) contains the replacement text
	from `missing'.
	* tests/man4.test: New test.
	* tests/Makefile.am: Update.
	* NEWS: Reorder a bit, update.

	Report by Werner Lemberg and Karl Berry.

	* doc/automake.texi (Linking, Libtool Flags)
	(Program and Library Variables, Flag Variables Ordering):
	Reword instances of `global variables' that really mean
	makefile-wide ones.
	* THANKS: Update.
	Report by Andreas Bergmeier.

	Fix config.status depfiles failure.
	* m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Commands are
	again a single shell brace group, so they are correctly skipped
	when dependencies are turned off.  The failure is noisy with
	ksh only.
	* tests/depend6.test: New test.
	* tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
	* THANKS: Update.
	Report and different suggested patch by Markus Duft.

	* tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
	Report by Jim Meyering and Eric Blake.

2006-10-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
	which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
	directory.  In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
	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
	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.
	Also, don't bother to check for -m bugs unless we're using -m;

	on these words, too.
	* tests/check6.test: Update.

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

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

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

	* m4/init.m4: Define am__isrc as ` -I$(srcdir)' only in
	non-VPATH builds since we always have `-I.'.
	* tests/subpkg.test: Make sure config headers are found in VPATH

	* m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Define mkdir_p using $MKDIR_P, not

	Adjust.

	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Build lib first, for lib/Automake/Config.pm.

	* tests/pr401.test: Update to expose wrong depdir computation.
	Rewrite to not use the same file name for library object and
	main program.
	* tests/pr401b.test, tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.

2006-07-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* lib/install-sh: Don't incorrectly claim that this implementation
	can install only one file at a time.
	(doit_exec): New var, for using 'exec' if possible, to save a process.
	(test_mode, intermediate_mode): Remove.
	(mode): Check for IFS or globbing characters in mode, since they might
	cause weird behavior with the other changes below.  All later uses
	of '"$mode"' changed to '$mode', since the ""s no longer matter.
	Use octal modes if the invoker specifies an octal mode, and use
	octal umask values if 'umask' outputs octal values; this is more
	likely to work with older operating systems since Automake uses
	octal modes, and also works around a bug with HP-UX 11.23
	'mkdir -p -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx' reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00024.html>.
	(cp_umask, mkdir_umask): New variables, to avoid
	temporarily creating files or directories with too-permissive modes.
	(mkdir_mode): Use the FreeBSD 'install' method for computing modes of
	intermediate directories; this is safer.
	(posix_mkdir): Also test mkdir -p -m ... by making a directory in
	/tmp and checking the resulting mode with 'ls', to catch a bug in
	HP-UX 11.23 and IRIX 6.5 mkdir reported by Ralf in the same message.
	Use ':' for true, not 'true'; this is a bit faster on
	traditional implementations.

2006-07-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* lib/depcomp: "in in" -> "in" in comment.

2006-07-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	* tests/defs.in (AUTOMAKE_run): Redirect stdout before stderr,
	for consistency with the recommendation prompted by this report:
	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00225.html>.

2006-06-24  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
	    Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	* m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Set `mkdir_p' to
	`'$(MKDIR_P)'', so that it retains the per-directory value
	computed by config.status.
	* lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): do not use `$(mkdir_p)' from
	a changed directory.  Bugs reported by Ralf Menzel.
	* THANKS: Update.

2006-06-24  Eric Dorland  <eric@debian.org>
	    Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	* automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Fix matching file extension.
	* tests/txinfo31.test: New test.
	* tests/Makefile.am: Update.

2006-06-07  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

	* automake.in (handle_LIBOBJS): Don't rely on the caller defining $1.

2006-06-07  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

	* m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): Rewrite using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.

2006-06-06  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
	    Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	* lib/am/distdir.am: Do not call $(mkdir_p) for each
	distributed file, collect them and create them in one run,
	and strip $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) all at once.
	Fix some comment typos.

2006-06-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	* m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): The IRIX MIPSpro compiler
	7.4.4m may omit the first included header dependency information
	with `-MDupdate'.  Refine test to catch this.

	* configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap'
	procedure.

	* tests/gettext.test: AM_PROG_GETTEXT of gettext >= 0.14.3
	requires `config.rpath' to be present, and automake now enforces
	this.  Test this, but only if the gettext installation works and
	is recent enough to provide this diagnosis.
	* tests/gettext.test: Provide a dummy `config.rpath' for all
	subsequent checks.
	* tests/gettext2.test, tests/subcond.test: Likewise.

	* tests/yacc6.test, tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.

	* m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Do not use
	plain `grep' on the Makefile, as its line length may exceed that
	for grep.  Bug report against coreutils by Sam Sirlin.
	* THANKS: Update.

2006-05-26  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>  (tiny change)

	* doc/automake.texi (Options): Add anchor `tar-formats'.

2006-05-25  Noah Misch  <noah@cs.caltech.edu>

	* lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
	ENOLCK.  Only mention `make -j' when applicable.  Only raise
	fatal errors when `make -j' is involved.  Improve error message.

2006-05-17  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	* lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
	`$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
	directory component.
	* lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Add note that Automake owns
	this file.
	* lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise.
	* lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
	* lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.

2006-05-16  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

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

2006-05-15  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
	lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Fix some typos.

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

	* lib/install-sh: Sync from Autoconf, as follows:
	Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
	as per GNU coding standards.  Close a race condition reported by Ralf
	Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal.  There is still a race condition
	on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
	Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts.
	Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts.

2006-05-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	* tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Do not require
	GNUmake.
	* Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Make sure `required=' does not
	follow `. ./defs' in the tests.

	* tests/ansi10.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.  Fix test that
	ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc isn't just used by Automake code in
	`configure'.
	* tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
	* tests/ansi9.test: Likewise.  Do not override by setting
	$U and $(ANSI2KNR) at `make' time; that will be fragile.
	* tests/libobj8.test: Use AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
	* tests/subobj3.test: Likewise.  Use `set -e'.

	* lib/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't
	turned off later.
	* lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.

	* lib/am/java.am (class%DIR%.stamp): Do not assume `$?' has
	the path of the prerequisite added; IRIX 6.5 make does not add
	it, Solaris 2.6 make is inconsistent about adding it.  Fixes
	java.test failure.

	* tests/distdir.test: Do not use leading `./' in EXTRA_DIST for
	files in the source tree.  Fixes failures with HP-UX and Tru64
	make.

	* lib/am/ansi2knr.am (ansi2knr): Rename target as...
	(./ansi2knr): ...this, for BSD make.
	(%ANSI2KNR-DIR%/ansi2knr): Adjust.

	* tests/defs.in (Be Bourne compatible): Update from current
	Autoconf.

	* configure.ac: Recommend perl-5.8.2.
	* tests/automake.test: Do not fail because of buggy Getopt::Long
	in perl < 5.8.2.

	* tests/longlin2.test: Do not use `grep' on Makefile.am:
	it has long lines and is thus not a text file; AIX 5.1 grep
	fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.

	* tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
	match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
	cause false matches.  Tighten overrides regex.  Fix typo
	`cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.

	* tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
	exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
	* tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.

	* tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused
	if ``pwd`' contains the string `-p'.  Create the wrapper in a
	subdirectory so that `.' in $PATH does not lead to an endless
	loop.

	* lib/depcomp (ia64hp): Rename dependency style to..
	(hp2): ..this, as it works with aCC on HPPA, too; adjust
	comment.  Report by Olivier Fourdan (PR automake/481).
	* THANKS: Update.

	* tests/aclocal7.test: Add `$sleep's between file touching
	and automake resp aclocal+automake invocations, to ensure
	they complete with a time stamp strictly later than the touched
	file.

	* lib/missing: Remove superfluous quotes.  Replace all uses of
	`[' by `test', for consistency, and for..
	* tests/missing5.test: ..this new test.
	* tests/Makefile.am: Update.

	* lib/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables.
	(autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them.  Unifies detection of
	`-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex.
	Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man.  Fixes
	PR automake/483.  Report by Dennis J. Linse.
	(autom4te): Document in `missing --help'.
	* THANKS: Update.

	* m4/mkdirp.m4 (AM_PROG_MKDIR_P): In the normal case, set
	mkdir_p='mkdir -p', not to 'mkdir -p --', for consistency with
	the other ways that mkdir_p might be set.

2006-04-21  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

	* m4/amversion.in (_AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION): New macro.
	(AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Call it.
	* aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): Trace _AM_AUTOCONF_VERSION.
	(write_aclocal): Output a check for Autoconf's version in aclocal.m4.
	Doing so ensures that users cannot build configure and Makefiles
	with two different autoconf versions.  Report from Noah Misch.
	* tests/missing4.test: New file.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

	* tests/nobase.test: Use `chmod a-x' instead of `chmod -x',
	suggested by Eric Blake.

2005-10-17  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

	* doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): Typo.
	* lib/Automake/Variable.pm (transform_variable_recursively): Typo
	in a comment.

2005-10-03  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

	* ChangeLog.03, automake.in, tests/overrid.test: Typos.

2005-10-03  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

	* tests/nobase.test: Exercise previous patch.

2005-10-03  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>  (tiny change)

	* lib/am/distdir.am: Remove $(SHELL) when calling install_sh
	* m4/strip.m4: Ditto.
	* m4/install-sh.m4: Add $(SHELL) to the definition of install_sh

2005-09-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* doc/automake.texi (limitations on file names): New section.
	* lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
	Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
	This has the side effect of fixing `install-sh -d' to not fail if it
	loses the race in creating the last path component against another
	process.
	* tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.

2005-09-13  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

	* automake.in (Languages) <cppasm>: Fix typo in the comment.

2005-09-13  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	* lib/am/ltlib.am (uninstall-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Do not put
	shell in verbose mode.

2005-08-07  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

	* lib/Automake/Variable.pm (variable_value): Do not read the TRUE
	value of a conditionally defined variable.
	Report from Juergen Leising.

	* automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use AM_MAKEFLAGS in recursive
	$(MAKE) invocations.
	* lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
	Likewise.
	* lib/am/texi-vers.am (%STAMPVTI%): Likewise.
	* lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Likewise.
	* Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Check for this.
	Report from Stepan Kasal.

	* m4/mkdirp.m4: Update misleading comment about `mkdir -p .'.
	Prompted by Stepan Kasal.

2005-08-07  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

	* lib/am/texinfos.am (uninstall-info-am): Call install-info only if
	the $(infodir) exists.

2005-07-31  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

	* tests/library3.test: Fix a typo which made the test fail.

2005-07-27  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

	* doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables):
	Suggest reserving -l for third-party libraries.

	* lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
	search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
	People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
	AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
	* automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
	for missing files that can be installed.
	* tests/library3.test: Adjust.

2005-07-27  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

	* tests/defs.in: When required matches both `*libtool*' and
	`*gettext*', check for both m4 files.

	* doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Fix a typo.
	* tests/suffix11.test: Fix a typo.
	* tests/colon3.test: s/EGREP/FGREP/.

2005-07-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
	problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('.  Automake and
	Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
	if the usual candidates show up.

2005-07-19  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

	* Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Merge the rules.

2005-07-10  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

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

2005-07-09  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

	* lib/install-sh: Use IFS=/ to split directories on /, don't translate
	/ into % as it prevents directory names using %...

2005-07-09  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

	* doc/automake.texi (Public macros): Typo.
	* aclocal.in: Typo in comment.

2005-07-09  Zack Weinberg  <zack@codesourcery.com>  (tiny change)

	* lib/depcomp: Handle "#line" markers as well as "# " markers in
	"cpp" style, so it can work with newer HP compilers (for their
	ia64 systems).

2005-07-02  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

	* doc/automake.texi (Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Reword to
	fix an underful hbox.
	* lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
	New upstream versions.

2005-07-01  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

	* m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add python2.5.

2005-06-30  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

	* automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
	lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
	* lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
	if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
	Suggested by Stepan Kasal.

	* automake.in (read_am_file): Correctly diagnose comments following
	trailing backslash.
	* tests/commen10.test: New file.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add commen10.test.
	Report from Harald Dunkel.

	* automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Scan AC_SUBST_TRACE instead
	of AC_SUBST.
	* lib/am/header-vars.am (srcdir, top_srcdir, top_builddir, INSTALL):
	Do not define, they are AC_SUBST_TRACEd by Autoconf.
	* m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf 2.59c.
	* tests/include.test: Call AC_OUTPUT.

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

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

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

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

	* lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
	* tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
	Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.

2005-06-24  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

	* lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
	variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
	only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
	variable, not to older helper variables.  This way the order of
	the items appended to the variable is preserved.
	* tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
	* tests/cond38.test: New file.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
	Report from Ed Hartnett.

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

	* tests/aclocal5.test: Adjust to recent CVS Autoconf changes.

	* automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
	definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
	generate_makefile.  This superfluous definition introduced long
	lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
	line length.  Report from Mathias Froehlich.

2005-06-11  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

	* lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
	Fix redirections in previous patch.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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