Update copyrights
Description:
Updated copyright information in hdf5/bin and top-level and added some
more files to be skipped to the chkcopyright config file.
Platforms tested:
None - just eyeballed
Improvement.
Description:
The df command sometimes hangs because of file system problem.
Solution:
Run the df command as background process and wait for it 10 seconds
to finish, then just continues.
Platforms tested:
Should work. Daily test will test it.
Added another case of shell-like style file--if lines leading by #'s
are found, treat it like a shell-like style file.
Platforms tested:
hand tested in heping.
New feature.
Description:
Added code that try to guess what type of file it is by inspecting the
first 5 lines. Then it tries to find the Copyright notice according
to the guess.
Another revamp.
Description:
Now search the copyright notice within the beginning 60 lines only.
(This applies to source code. For HTML files, it is still search
all the way through the file.)
Platforms tested:
Hand tested.
revision.
Description:
The copyright notice for Makefile(in) were fixed at the beginning of the files.
But they are now generated by automake and autoconf such that Gnu jams its
own copyright block at the beginning.
Solution:
Changed the rule such that the HDF5 copyright notice can be somewhere else
in the file as long as they are together as one paragraph.
Also added recognition of Makefile.am as a possible MAKEFILE type.
Platforms tested:
Tested by hand in heping.
Feature.
Description:
Added the copyright checking--most settings are temporary. Need
cleanup or fixes when most copyrights notices are completed.
Platforms tested:
Tested by hand.
Bug fix.
Description:
In some racing condition, the process ID file might be removed just
the moment before timekeeper cats its content. When that happens,
the $pid is a blank. Timekeeper was not prepared for this.
Solution:
Added code to verify $pid is some number before proceeding.
Platforms tested:
Tested by hand only.
upgrade.
Description:
A new feature md5 is added to the release script. Upgrade snapshot
to include md5 in the snapshot release process.
Platforms tested:
No test since the change is pretty simple and it is hard to test
without really doing a snapshot release.
Misc. update:
Feature - md5 checksum
Description:
Added md5 checksumming to snapshot releases. When bin/release is run,
it will by default create a .tar archive and a .md5 checksum of that
archive in the destination directory.
Solution:
md5 is now a method in bin/release, along with the various ways to compress
hdf5. The checksum is always of the .tar archive, even when other forms
of compression are used (this is so that a given release always has only
one checksum, for simplicity).
Platforms tested:
mir (change to bin/release only)
Misc. update:
Bug fixes
Description:
This checkin fixes an occasional error on kelgia on sol during distclean.
It also causes test scripts to depend properly on the programs they're
supposed to be testing.
Solution:
The kelgia bug was due to some files being cleaned by automake and manually.
Removed the manual cleaning in src/Makefile.am.
Test script dependencies now need to be specified manually, since the
makefile can't guess what they test from their name. Currently all test
scripts in a given directory have a single list of dependencies--this was
easy and seems to be sufficient.
These dependencies are listed in the SCRIPT_DEPEND variable in the Makefile.am.
Platforms tested:
heping, mir, modi4, sol
Misc. update:
Bug fix.
Description:
Error encountered in the clean command was not passed back to calling
command. Fixed it.
Platforms tested:
heping (where clean has no error) and sol (where clean has error).
cleanup.
Description:
The install directory (--prefix) has been changed to $PWD/hdf5 long time
ago. It is no need to reset to installdir any more.
Platforms tested:
Change is trivial and will be tested in Daily tests.
Misc. update:
upgrade.
Description:
Release used to copy the updated release_docs/HISTORY.txt and
release_docs/RELEASE.txt to the doc/html/ADGuide. The doc/ is
removed from the source tree. So, remove the command that
does the copying.
Note that once the separated doc/ location is known, release needs
to copy the two files into them and committed them via sub-version
commands.
Platforms tested:
No test because it is a trivial change and it is not easy to change
without triggering the full release process.
Misc. update:
bug fix.
Description:
The deploy command would exit whether it succeeded or not.
Solution:
Fixed it so that it exits only when deploy has encountered failures.
Platforms tested:
Trivial change. Will watch the daily test results.
Misc. update:
bug fix.
Description:
-nt is not a universal option for the test command in all platforms.
The use of it in conclude.am cause some platforms to bark at the
Makefile generated.
Solution:
Created a command script bin/newer which tests if file1 is newer
than file2. Replace the "test file1 -nt file2" by
"newer file1 file2".
Platforms tested:
Tested in sol.
Feature.
Description:
The temporary output filename of each remote host test is now
a combination of hostname and configname.
Platforms tested:
Will be tested by Daily test.
Configuration feature
Description:
Formerly, bin/reconfigure needed to invoke Automake with the --foreign
flag or it would fail. It turns out that there is a clever way to
specify this flag inside configure.in so that it doesn't need to
be explicitly invoked.
This should make it easier for people not using machines connected
to AFS (e.g., the netCDF folks) to invoke Automake on HDF5.
Platforms tested:
mir and heping
Add API calls allowing user control of the metadata cache.
Description:
Prior to this update, the metadata cache was not configurable
from outside the library.
Solution:
Add API calls allowing the user to configure the metadata cache
either at file open time, or for any open file. Also added calls
permitting the user to monitor cache size and hit rate. These
latter facilities are needed for "manual" cache size control
Platforms tested:
h5committested
Misc. update:
Feature - libtool shared library versioning
Description:
Libtool provides a mechanism for different versions of the same shared
library to be distinguished. Now this is applied to HDF5 when it is
built as a shared library.
Solution:
The version number is stored in config/lt_vers.am, and included in
src/Makefile.am.
This number will be automatically updated by bin/h5vers; developers
only need to update it when they change the API.
*** IMPORTANT ***
Any time the API changes, the version number in config/lt_vers.am must
be updated!
Platforms tested:
mir, eirene, verbena, modi4
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
When chkmanifest failed, output is not dumped to failed detail section
and people tend to ignore it.
Solution:
Buffer the output of chkmanifest in a file and dump it to failed detail
section if it fails. Else, just output to standout.
Platforms tested:
Tested by hand in heping.
Improvement
Description:
Dumping the beginning 10 lines of log files does not give much
useful information and they sort of mix up with the last 30 lines.
Solution:
Do not dump the beginning 10 lines any more.
Platforms tested:
Tested by hand.
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Automake relies on the helper script depcomp to handle dependency tracking.
This script was from an older version of automake, and was generating
warnings on copper and sol.
Solution:
Updated bin/depcomp and bin/missing scripts.
Platforms tested:
copper, sleipnir, modi4
Automake version upgrade
Description:
Upgraded automake version from 1.6.2 to 1.9.5.
Changed bin/reconfigure script to use automake 1.9.5.
Changed configure.in and Makefiles to use new FCFLAGS and FC variables
instead of FFLAGS and F9X.
Automake and configure should now do the lion's share of the work
supporting Fortran 9X; macros in acsite.m4 are now mostly unused (will
be cleaned later).
Altered how configure handles pmake; now root-level Makefile.in is
processed by bin/reconfigure to have a .MAKEFLAGS target, since
automake no longer allows us to define unused variables.
Configure now always checks for C++ compiler even if it is not
used, since automake thinks this is the Right Thing To Do and
will break otherwise.
Platforms tested:
Sol, copper, heping, mir, sleipnir, eirene, pommier, kelgia, modi4.
Bug fix
Description:
h5vers would spit out the output that reconfigure script produced.
Solution:
Sent output from reconfigure to /dev/null. h5vers is now quiet as before.
Platforms tested:
verbena, eirene, heping
Bug fix
Description:
h5vers script called automake without using bin/reconfigure
Solution:
Altered h5vers script to use bin/reconfigure
Also:
***
CHANGED NAME OF reconfigure.sh TO reconfigure !
***
This matches the other scripts in the bin/ directory. Also changed
permissions on reconfigure so it can be executed.
Platforms tested:
eirene
Misc. update:
Feature
Description:
Added code to dump the beginnng and last few lines of the
test log file if errors have occurred.
Platforms tested:
Tested the code itself separatedly but daily test is where
it is really tested. Should work.
feature
Description:
Starting to add a feature that will print out details from the snapshot
test logfile when the test fails. Only a debug statment is added to
see if snapshot is reporting error status correctly.
Platforms tested:
Not tested. Wait for daily test to show the result.
Update
Description:
Matthew reinstalled autotools into AFS with architecture directories.
Solution:
Updated bin/reconfigure.sh script to point to new locations of autotools.
reconfigure.sh should run on "any" Linux box connected to AFS.
Platforms tested:
reconfigure.sh tested on heping and eirene. No other files modified.
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
HDF5's libtool includes a hack to ensure that libraries are found
on IRIX. This hack did not have the correct path for the hl-fortran
tests to find the main library.
Solution:
Extend the hack. This may call for a better long-term solution...
Platforms tested:
modi4 (hack only takes effect on IRIX)
Improvement.
Description:
Added a command to dump all environment variables at the
beginning of the snapshot test.
Platforms tested:
Attempted to test in eirene but aborted it after seeing the
dumping because it was doing things to the current/ of daily
test directory. *arg!*
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
modi4 dies during build with strange errors.
The root cause of these is a two-year-old hack in HDF5's libtool
script that only takes effect on IRIX.
Solution:
Edited the libtool hack (by editing ltmain.sh) to correct a bug in
the hack.
Also made sure that compiler-specific DEFAULT_LIBS are used
when linking.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper, modi4, sol
Configure feature
Description:
Changed bin/reconfigure.sh script to use autotools in AFS.
Solution:
Previously, the only machine with the correct versions of autoconf and
automake was heping. Now both tools are installed in AFS, so
in theory any hdf machine can be used to run the reconfigure script.
Platforms tested:
heping, eirene, verbena.
On sleipnir and arabica the autotools were unable to find a version
of m4 that was new enough for them.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Correct formatting error which would run some macros together if the
length of the error got too large.
Solution:
Throw in some extra whitespace
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Correct path to 'sh' and set executable, so this script can be run
directly from the command line.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping)
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Dependencies for aclocal.m4 seemed to be confused. This was causing
make to try to re-generate a bunch of configuration files.
Solution:
Updated and re-ran reconfigure.sh script.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper, sol
Bug fix
Description:
Two files in the bin directory didn't make it into CVS.
Solution:
Added depcomp and compile to CVS repository.
Platforms tested:
Already testsed with these files.
Configuration feature
Description:
HDF5 now uses automake to generate Makefiles
Solution:
Makefile.in files are now generated from Makefile.am files.
To reconfigure (after chaning a Makefile.am or configure.in):
/bin/sh bin/reconfigure.sh
Platforms tested:
Many
slight improvement
Description:
Added a time stamp when a host is not reachable.
Added a pause to let timekeeper to complete.
Platforms tested:
It should work.
Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)
Description:
Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.
I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel & fphdf5
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/backward compatibility
Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/"purify options"
Solaris 2.8 (sol) w/FORTRAN & C++
AIX 5.x (copper) w/parallel & FORTRAN
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/FORTRAN
Linux 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++
Misc. update:
Updated to call timekeeper with minutes.
Also put all timekeeper output to a separated logfile.
Platforms tested:
Did not test since it is hard to test without starting the whole daily test.
The change is trivial too.
Feature
Description:
# As a time keeper of the remote daily test process launched by runtest.
# It sleeps for a certain time and then wakes up to hangup those processes
# that are still around, assuming they have run too long.
Platforms tested:
hand tested in heping.
Bug fix.
Description:
-e is not a valid condition for /bin/sh in all machines such as SunOS.
Solution:
Rewrote the condition to avoid the need of using "test -e ...".
Platforms tested:
In Sol only.
Bug fix.
Description:
There was a historical hack to prevent runtest in multiple
hosts to run cvs update while they were launched by the daily test.
But a more proper fix has been implemented to prevent that but
this hack was not removed. It ended up enforcing one CVS update
per day. But if someone tested runtest during the day, it would
prevent the evening daily from doing update. That is not good.
Solution:
Removed the hack which is not need any more.
Platforms tested:
NO h5committest since it does test runtest. Tested it by
hand in eirene and heping.
Misc. update:
Feature
Description:
Added code to support the -configname feature.
Platforms tested:
no h5committest which does not test this command.
ran it by hand in eirene comparing tg-login1 and tg-login2.
Misc. update:
Feature
Description:
Added --private option which is for individuals making a private
release version. It sets the SubRelease string to the date of
release. This should be sufficient to distinguish releases
provided one does not make two private releases on the same
day.
Platforms tested:
No h5committest since it does not test this feature.
Hand tested it in Eirene.
Bug fix and feature.
Description:
The setenv was done in runtest but it has the effect will linger
onto the next test. So, if the first test sets $CXX to a certain
value, it lingers on the all following tests of the same host.
This is usually not desired.
Solution:
Move the actual setenv code to snapshot. Runtest now just parses them
and pass along the setenv request to snapshot.
Platforms tested:
no h5comittest which does not really test the change.
Hand tested in eirene with Tg-NCSA.
Misc. update:
Code cleanup & small bug fix
Description:
Regenerate dependency files
Add htri_t as separate type from hbool_t for code tracing purposes.
Platforms tested:

Bug fix/code update
Description:
Upgrade to latest version of config.guess & config.sub, which work
correctly on Cray X1 (and may help on NEC SX-6).
NOTE: This upgrade has _nothing_ to do with autoconf or libtool, these
shell scripts are _not_ tied to any particular version of those tools.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)

cleanup.
Description:
Removed the old command that parses setenv2 and setenv3 which are
replaced by setenvN.
Platforms tested:
No h5committest since it does not test this script.
Pretty sure it works.
new feature
Description:
Added the -setup option so that it can setup the snapshot test
directory structure. This will help the setup of snapshot test
in a new machine, especially remote machine much easier.
Platforms tested:
no h5committest becuase it does not test this script.
Tested in tg-ncsa.
Improvement
Description:
The cvs checkout used the complete path of current/ which is not
accepted by cvs server. Changed it to chdir to the snapshot directory
and then cvs checkout just current/.
Platforms tested:
Not h5committested because it does not test this command.
Tested in tg-ncsa which has no direct access to the CVS directory
and must use the server route.
Misc. update:
Bug Fix/Update
Description:
Updated "trace" to include "void**" as a datatype (it sets it to
"x"). Format changes as well.
Added "close(DEPEND); close(NEW);" to the dependencies script. This
was reported by a user that it wasn't doing this.
Platforms tested:
Linux (small changes)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
The op-snapshot checkout "ate" the next option by mistake.
Solution:
Remove the extra shift.
Platforms tested:
Can't really test it without doing a real snapshot test.
Pretty sure it is correct and will watch the result tomorrow.
Misc. update:
Improvement
Description:
The -w timeout option is not supported by all hosts.
Added the "ping -c 3" possible PING command.
Platforms tested:
Tested in eirene by hand only.
Misc. update:
new feature
Description:
Added a new option of "setenvN" which does
set environment variable with $1 values
e.g., setenvN 3 x a b c is same as setenv x="a b c".
Platforms tested:
No h5committest. Tested by hand in copper.
Misc. update:
new feature
Description:
Added a new test option of
op-snapshot <option> snapshot option
This allows snapshot.cfg to tell runtest to run snapshot with a
special option.
Platforms tested:
Not h5committest because it is outside of its scope.
Tested by hand.
Misc. update:
New features
Description:
Add options of verbose (-v, -v9) and -fname which limits to
checking file with the file name pattern.

Misc. update:
Update/Fix
Description:
The Dependencies files weren't begin generated properly for C++.
Solution:
Modified the "dependencies" script to use "top_srcdir" only instead
of "srcdir", which tended to confuse matters. Regenerated the
Dependencies files.
Platforms tested:
Arabica (Small changes)
Misc. update:
Update
Description:
Revamped the configuration system. The configurations for the Fortran
and C++ libraries are no longer separate from the "main"
configuration system. This involved removing the "configure*" and
"aclocal.m4" files from the fortran/ and c++/ subdirectories. Also
merging settings in the config/ subdirectories into the main config/
subdirectory.
Fortran header files had to be modified a little for Linux. It was
checking if it was a Linux machine by some #defines, however with the
-std=c99 switch, these defines weren't there. I added a check for
some other ones which should be there whether the -std=c99 switch is
used or not.
Had to add C++ information to this script.
Platforms tested:
Verbena (Fortran & C++)
Sol (Fortran & C++)

Misc. update:
New Feature
Description:
A command script to check if the Copyright notice is included in

Platforms tested:
no h5committest since it does not apply.
Tested by hand.
Misc. update:
Updated MANIFEST
Removed old feature
Description:
Removed the hardsetting of --prefix and creation of <prefix>/ directory
since this version has prefix default to hdf5/ in the build-directory
and will create the <prefix>/ directory during install.
Platforms tested:
Tested in eirene by hand.
