Re: [PATCH v2 00/17] Convert the autoconf build system tonon-recursive make

Paul Eggert — 2013-05-06T18:44:14

Thanks, looks good.  I'd just apply it.  The autoconf tests
right now have a lot of problems on non-GNU/Linux hosts.
I don't think these changes will make things much worse;
when we get around to releasing the next Autoconf we can
look into those problems and fix them then.

[PATCH v2 15/17] build: no more recursion for 'tests' subdir

Stefano Lattarini — 2013-05-06T13:21:22

* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Drop 'tests'.  Adjust comments.
(DISTCLEANFILES, MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Define to empty, to be
updated later.
(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Adjust later definition to use '+='
rather than '='.
($(srcdir)/tests/local.mk): Include this.
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Drop 'tests/Makefile'.
* lib/freeze.mk ($(AUTOM4TE_CFG)): Drop now-redundant remake rule.
($(build_libdir)/m4sugar/version.m4): Likewise.
* tests/Makefile.am: Rename ...
* tests/local.mk: ... like this, and adjust (quite heavily).
* tests/mktests.sh: Adjust to generate output files and temporary
files in the tests subdirectory rather than in the current
directory.

[PATCH v2 11/17] build: define RELEASE_YEAR with AC_SUBST

Stefano Lattarini — 2013-05-06T13:21:18

Rather than reading it dynamically from the ChangeLog -- that,
remember, is only a dummy in a Git checkout!  To avoid risking
the definition to get out-of-sync, let's enhance the maintainer
target 'update-copyright' to update it automatically (the same
way it's done in the Automake build system).

* configure.ac (RELEASE_YEAR): New AC_SUBST'd variable.
* cfg.mk (update-release-year): New maintainer-specific target
to automatically update the value of that variable.
(update-copyright): Depend on the new target.
* bin/local.mk (RELEASE_YEAR): Drop definition.
(edit): Simplify quoting of $(RELEASE_YEAR).
* lib/Makefile.am (RELEASE_YEAR): Drop definition.
(m4sugar/version.m4): Simplify quoting of $(RELEASE_YEAR).

[PATCH v2 00/17] Convert the autoconf build system to non-recursivemake

Stefano Lattarini — 2013-05-06T13:21:07

Basically, this series is the same as v1 (RFC), but with commit messages
more respecting of the GNU Coding Standards, and extended with a follow-up
patch (the last one) that removes the two usages of the obsolescent
'mkinstalldirs' script and variable.

"make check" and "make distcheck" still passes, both when bootstrapped
with Automake 1.11.6 and with Automake 1.13.1.  The series should be
good to apply, albeit more testing (especially on systems != GNU/Linux)
would be highly appreciated.

Regards,
  Stefano

Glad to hear that.  I've written proper commit messages for all the
patches, and, while at it, added a new follow-up patch that removes
the remaining usages of the obsolete 'mkinstalldirs' script.  I will
soon post the updated versions of the patches in this same thread.
