Update
Description:
Changed so that the Fortran and C++ configures are named "HDF5
Fortran" and "HDF5 C++" resp. instead of just "HDF5.
Solution:
Add an extra parameter to the subroutine which generates the new
configure.in files.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Update
Description:
Updated the h5vers script to automatically update the configure.in
files so that they reflect the correct version in the AC_INIT line.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Update
Description:
Updated ltmain.sh with the newest version from the 1.4.2 libtool. The
one I updated with earlier still had a few bugs in it, for some
reason. I got rid of the RPM version on my machine and used the
compiled source instead.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
On some platforms, mktemp doesn't work. This would wipe out the
tmpdir variable's value.
Solution:
Reinitialize tmpdir in these cases.
Platforms tested:
HP-UX
Bug Fix
Description:
Ported the hack of hte ltmain.sh script from the v1.4 branch to the
1.5 branch, since it's sure to fail on systems with really long
-Wl... flags...
Autotools Update
Description:
I've updated autoconf, automake, and libtool to the latest/greatest
versions; 2.53, 1.6, and 1.4.2 resp.
Many changes come with the new versions:
- ltconfig is no longer used
- acconfig.h is no longer used (#define values are declared with
the macro)
- regeneration of all of the aclocal.m4, configure, and
H5config.h.in files.
- new config.{guess,sub} files
- new ltmain.sh file
Platforms tested:
AIX (blue), and Linux
Feature/bug fix
Description:
The 'snapshot diff' command is run in all cases, even after the initial
"snapshot diff" and hosts are polled to run the test. It would not cause
any harm except wasting time repeating diff'ing. Also, the path is
quite right to invoke snapshot by merely "bin/snapshot diff" since it
has not "cd" to the right directory yet.
Solution:
Added a new option of "-nodiff" to skip the special diff request.
Then make "runtest" to call itself again with it to prevent
any further unnecessary diff'ing.
Platforms tested:
eirene
New feature
Description:
"snapshot diff" will just run the diff and exit 0 is no significant
differences found between current and previous versions.
Runtest will try a "snapshot diff" and will skip test if no significant
differences are found.
Platforms tested:
eirene
New feature
Description:
Replacing the hardcoding of default version for snapshot test
to a file, bin/snapshot_version. This way, runtest and snapshot
can be version neutral. Makes maintenance easier.
Platforms tested:
eirene.
Bug fix
Description:
check-install was on the same make line with install. They
got run in parallel.
Run check-install as a separate make action after make install is completed.
Platforms tested:
Eirene
Feature
Description:
The output of multiple tests of one host used to all go to the same
logfile. It is harder to find the beginning of each test.
Solution:
Added hour and minute (HHMM) into the logfile name. Different
tests should go to different files now. If a second test starts
within a minute of the previous test, their output will be all
in the same file. In the case, there are probably not that much
output to worry.
Platforms tested:
eirene
New feature
Description:
The examples have been changed to use the installed h5cc to do
the compiling. Added a step in the "test" part to
"cd examples; gmake check" which will test against the installed
software.
A more proper way is to create a "check-install" target to test
other installed software besides the C API, such as the Fortran
API.
Platforms tested:
eirene
Bug Fix
Description:
When doing an install of dynamic executables on some platforms, the
"mktemp" command may fail which causes the contents of "tmpdir" to go
away. If it's a failure, we still need the previous value of tmpdir.
Solution:
I replicated some code so that tmpdir's old value before the mktemp
call is regen'ed if the mktemp call failed.
Platforms tested:
HP-UX SysV
Bug Fix
Description:
For some reason, a wrong line was introduced into the ltconfig in my
"Major Hack(tm)" stuff.
Solution:
Removed this line, which isn't supposed to be there cause that's why
the Major Hack was there to begin with.
Platforms tested:
NERSC machine and Pacific Blue
Bug fix
Description:
A a build had occurred in the source tree ($CURRENT) and did not
do a distclean, the left over files would interfere with srcdir
build.
Solution:
Added a "make distclean" in the "checkout" option to clean up
the $CURRENT just in case. Not necessarily the most optimal
spot to do the cleaning but convenient.
Platforms tested:
Eirene.
Bug fix
Description:
Snapshot does "make check" directly, instead of building all
binary first. This means it does not cover code that are not
tested (e.g., example, perform). (That explained why the errors
in the PIO performance code were not reported in daily test but
blew up when people built the library the "normal" way.)
It is done this way so that the snaptest aborts as soon as
the first test failed rather than after all code are compiled.
Solution:
Add "make" (to build all binary) before "make check".
The allows snaptest to fail as soon as the first compiling failure.
If we wish the snaptest to abort on the first test failure, the two
can be swapped as "make check && make ...". (It would appear strange
to run tests then make binary.)
Platforms tested:
Would be tested in the daily test tonight. (I should have tested
it first but I started this commit process already. Sorry.)
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
We needed to support C++ on SP3. Libtool was putting a "-bnso" flag
on the compile line. This was causing the C++ compiler to barf..
Solution:
Removed the line.
Platforms tested:
OSF5.1
kludge
Description:
Somehow if consecutive "rsh houdin -n ..." are issued too close,
a "Connection refused" result. Then /usr/local/krb5/rsh falls
back to ordinary rsh protocal which of course won't work either.
Solution:
if the houdin to be tested is houdin, wait for 5 seconds before
launching the 'rsh ...' command. Hopefully the system admin can
fix the rsh problem.
Platforms tested:
eirene talking to houdin.
Feature (actually a kludge)
Description:
The old "setenv" option for the snaptest.cfg cannot handle
if there are white spaces in the setenv value part.
Added a "setenv2" that expects the value consists of 2 parts.
A better solution (like can parse in double quoted values) is
needed.
Platforms tested:
eirene with houdin (solaris 2.7)
Purpose:
Fix Bill's "Major Hack" for NERSC seaborg machine
Description:
Bill's fix was based on the machine name. NERSC SP3 gseaborg
was renamed to seaborg.
Solution:
Fixed the name.
Platforms tested:
Not tested yet.
feature
Description:
Recognize command line argument in the form of '--*' as
a configure command option by default. Since all normal
configure options are in the form of '--*', this will
simplify the "op-configure <option>" syntax. The latter
syntax is still kept in case one would want to pass in
some configure argument that does not fit this syntax.
Platforms tested:
Eirene.
Purpose:
Refix
Description:
Changed
if test -d $1; then
:
else
to
if test ! -d $1; then
since "test ! -d" should work on all platforms and is a much cleaner
solution than the original.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Feature Add
Description:
Added "install-example" and "install-all" to the Makefile system.
The behaviour of the "make install*" options:
make install - Installs binaries, libraries, include
files, and example programs.
make install-examples - Installs only the example programs.
The directories are:
${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/{c,c++,fortran}
make install-all - Install the binaries, libraries, include
files, example programs, and
documentation. The whole kit-n'-caboodle.
make uninstall-examples - Get rid of those example files (but not
the ${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/...
directories)
There's a new bin/ program which helps create directories which are
deeply nested called "mkdirs". It's a simple shell script.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug fix.
Description:
Did not update the expected strings for result of grand total test
time. Causing a false report of test failed to complete.
Solution:
Update the strings.
Platforms tested:
Eirene and modi4.
Bug fix
Description:
The previous coding using sed was not portable for all Unix
systems. Much easier to use 'cut' to parse the strings.
Platforms tested:
eirene
Bug fix
Description:
when a snaptest did not complete, it reported it as a failure
of the launching host, rather than the testing host.
Changed it to report the testing host.
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
On some SGI machines (or, rather, it was showing up there), the
/usr/ncsa/lib directory was being placed before the other directories
in the linker line. This was causing the linker to link in
alternative HDF5 libraries than the test library.
Solution:
Modified my previous hack so that it puts the $rpath macro at the
end, since those are the ones we're passing into the libtool function
(in the DYNAMIC_DIRS macro).
Platforms tested:
Paz
Feature
Description:
Changed some output format.
Improved the CHECK_RSH to better report the result when failed.
Platforms tested:
eirene with nosuch and shalom. (made sure failures do occur)
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
The dependencies weren't being generated properly. What was
happening, if there was a "." in the path name to the source
directories, it would say, "oh! That matches anything. Dup-dee-do
I'll just mess everything up, then."
Solution:
Escape all occurences of "." with a "\." so that it will match an
actual "." instead of anything.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
The way we were generating Dependencies and .depend files was broken.
If the $srcdir or other macros began with a ".", then it would match
anything and cause problems since it would then overwrite the
beginning of the header file's path.
Solution:
Wrote a Perl script which can handle this type of weirdness better.
It's only used when the environment is a GNU one with a GCC
compiler...
Platforms tested:
Linux
Feature
Description:
Added the feature that ALLHOSTS can be set via the file
allhostfile in the snapshot directory. This reduces the
need to modify runtest for hosts changes.
Platforms tested:
eirene (did dry runs).
Purpose:
Forward Port
Description:
Forward port of the hack fix applied to the 1.4 branch. This corrects
the previous hack by putting *'s in the pattern matching so that
they'd match the gseaborg machine correctly.
Platforms tested:
gseaborg
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
The SP3 machine doesn't like the "-b nolibpath ..." flags, the same
as the pacific blue machine. I'm hoping that this will fix it.
Solution:
Adding the offending machine's name to the "Major Hack(tm)" we did
for the Pacific Blue machine.
update
Description:
Several files have been renamed or moved to a different location.
README => README.txt
RELEASE.txt => release_docs/RELEASE.txt
HISTORY.txt => release_docs/HISTORY.txt
Updated h5vers and release to reflect all these new names/locations.
Also made all uses the same beginning phases for the first line
of text in README.txt and RELEASE.txt as follows:
"HDF5 version ... "
Platforms tested:
eirene by running the bin/release and bin/h5vers -i.
