[PLANS] plans: add the PLANS directory

Individual files or sub-directories about future and on-going development plans in Automake will be added in follow-up commits. This new set of documents is meant to help ensure a more controlled and smooth development and evolution for Automake, in several ways. - Having the plans clearly

[FYI] {maint} tests: move runtest.in away from the top-lever directory

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.

[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

[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

[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

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

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.

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