[FYI] {maint} texi: remove workaround for older Texinfo (4.1)

* lib/am/texibuild.am: Here, in the rules generating HTML output. We can do so because, since Automake 1.13, we require Texinfo >= 4.9 anyway. Basically a backport of Automake-NG commit '1.12.2-879-ge6caf5e'. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini --- lib/am/texibuild.am | 10 ++ 1 file chang

I didn't mind taking 3 minutes to convert this into a git commit. Thanks. +ameliorate the problem; @xref{The dist Hook}. I'm afraid that's the wrong kind of xref (capital See). Needs to be @pxref.

Re: doc patch for dist-hook reference

Could you re-post this as a patch produced by "git format-patch"? Not without formatting it that way by hand; actually using git is incomprehensible to my brain, sorry, and I don't want to take the time to do it manually for two sentences. If it's not worth it to you either, just ignore the

doc patch for dist-hook reference

Pursuant to http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13324 ... I suggest something like the following small change to the manual, mentioning dist-hook instead of just unconditionally saying "don't use directories in EXTRA_DIST". Even though dist-hook is described the next section, I for one r

[FYI] {maint} maint: enable all warnings as fatal in our own build system

Automake should of course be able to bootstrap itself in a warning-free manner w.r.t. the Autotools. So make any failure to do so fatal. Not doing so caused the regression fixed by previous commit 'v1.13.1-22-ga790fae' to go unnoticed. * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Add '-Werror' and '-Wall'

[PATCH] texi: Texinfo sources and CLEANFILES definition should co-exist peacefully

But they don't now, due to a regression introduced in commit 'v1.13.1-4-gc1a8f56'. Fix it. The regression was hitting our own build system! * automake.in (handle_texinfo_helper): Only complain if the 'info-in-builddir' is not active and a '.info' file (not any random file!) is listed in CLEANFIL

[FYI] {maint} runtest: better command line API

* t/ax/runtest.in: Accept options '-k' and '--keep-testdirs' (same as exporting '$keep_testdirs' to "yes"). To improve compatibility with the "make check" interface, allow environment variables to be passes on the command line. Minor adjustments while at it. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini ---

Not only this leaves the top-lever directory less cluttered, but helps in keeping the testsuite-related files more "centralized". * runtest.in: Move ... * t/ax/runtest.in: ... here. While at it, add customary '@configure_input@' comment line. * Makefile.am (runtest, EXTRA_DIST): Adjust. Signed-o
