Bugs fixed in 1.7.3:
* Fix stamp files numbering (when using multiple AC_CONFIG_HEADERS).
* Query distutils for `pythondir' and `pythonexecdir', instead of
using an hardcoded path. This should allow builds on 64-bit
distributions that usually use lib64/ instead of lib/.
* AM_PATH_PYTHON will also search for python2.3.
* elisp files are now built all at once instead of one by one. Besides
incurring a speed-up, this is required to support interdependent elisp files.
* Fix some incompatibilities with upcoming perl-5.10.
* Properly quote AC_PACKAGE_TARNAME and AC_PACKAGE_VERSION when defining
PACKAGE and VERSION.
* depcomp fixes:
- dashmstdout and dashXmstdout modes: don't use `-o /dev/null', this
is troublesome with gcc and Solaris compilers.
- makedepend mode: work with Libtool.
- support for ICC.
* better support for unusual gettext setups, such as multiple po/ directories:
- Flag missing po/ and intl/ directories as warnings, not errors.
- Disable these warnings if po/ does not exist.
* Noteworthy manual updates:
- New FAQ chapter.
- Document how AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR interacts with missing files.
(Debian Bug #39542)
- Document `AM_YFLAGS = -d'.
* Fix installation and uninstallation of Info files built in subdirectories.
* Do not run `./configure --with-included-gettext' during `make distcheck'
if AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external]) is used.
* Correctly uninstall renamed man pages.
* Do not strip escaped newline in variables defined in one condition
and augmented in another condition.
* Fix ansi2knr rules for LIBOBJS sources.
* Clean all known Texinfo index files, not only those which appear to
be used, because we cannot know wich indexes are used in included files.
(Debian Bug #168671)
* Honor only the first @setfilename seen in a Texinfo file.
* Treat "required file X not found" diagnostics as errors (exit status 1).
* Don't complain that a required file is not found when it is a Makefile
target.
* Don't use single suffix inference rules when building `.info'-less
Info files, for the sake of Solaris make.
* The `check' target now depends on `$(BUILT_SOURCES)'.
* Recognize multiple inference rules such as `.a.b .c.d:'.
* Warn about multiple inference rules when -Wportability is used.
* Fix building of deansified files from subdirectories.
* Add missing `fi' in the .c->.obj rules.
* Improve install-sh to work even when names contain spaces or certain
(but not all) shell metachars.
* Fix the following spurious failures in the test suite:
depcomp2.test, gnits2.test, gnits3.test, python3.test, texinfo13.test
* Noteworthy manual updates:
- Augment the section about BUILT_SOURCES.
- Mention that AM_PROG_CC_STDC is a relic that is beter avoided today.
Bugs fixed in 1.7.1:
* Honor `ansi2knr' for files built in subdirectories, or using per-targets
flags.
* Aclocal should now recognize macro names containing parentheses, e.g.
AC_DEFUN([AC_LANG_PREPROC(Fortran 90)], [...]).
* Erase *.sum and *.log files created by DejaGnu, during `make distclean'.
(Debian Bug#153697)
* Install Python files even if they were built. (PR/369)
* Have stamp-vti dependent upon configure instead of configure.ac, as the
version might not be defined in the latter. (PR/358)
* Reorder arguments passed to a couple of commands, so things works
when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1.
* Fix a regex that can cause Perl to segfault on large input.
(Debian Bug#162583)
* Fix distribution of packages that have some sources defined conditionally,
as in the `Conditional compilation using Automake conditionals' example
of the manual.
* Fix spurious test suite failures on IRIX.
* Don't report a required variable as undefined if it has been
defined conditionally for the "right" conditions.
* Fix cleaning of the /tmp subdirectory used by `make distcheck', in case
`make distcheck' fails.
* Fix distribution of included Makefile fragment, so we don't create
spurious directories in the distribution. (PR/366)
* Don't complain that a target lacks `.$(EXEEXT)' when it has it.
Summary of changes:
- removal of USE_GTEXINFO
- addition of mk/texinfo.mk
- inclusion of this file in package Makefiles requiring it
- `install-info' substituted by `${INSTALL_INFO}' in PLISTs
- tuning of mk/bsd.pkg.mk:
removal of USE_GTEXINFO
INSTALL_INFO added to PLIST_SUBST
`${INSTALL_INFO}' replace `install-info' in target rules
print-PLIST target now generate `${INSTALL_INFO}' instead of `install-info'
- a couple of new patch files added for a handful of packages
- setting of the TEXINFO_OVERRIDE "switch" in packages Makefiles requiring it
- devel/cssc marked requiring texinfo 4.0
- a couple of packages Makefiles were tuned with respect of INFO_FILES and
makeinfo command usage
See -newly added by this commit- section 10.24 of Packages.txt for
further information.
pkgsrc. Instead, a new variable PKGREVISION is invented that can get
bumped independent of DISTNAME and PKGNAME.
Example #1:
DISTNAME= foo-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= foo-X.YnbZ
Example #2:
DISTNAME= barthing-X.Y
PKGNAME= bar-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= bar=X.YnbZ (!)
On subsequent changes, only PKGREVISION needs to be bumped, no more risk
of getting DISTNAME changed accidentally.
Include a bugfix for lisp_LISP independently discovered by me that has
been pulled up to the automake-1-4 branch of automake cvs.
Changes are:
New in 1.4-p5:
* Allow AM_PROG_LIBTOOL again.
* Diagnose AC_CONFIG_HEADERS the same as AC_CONFIG_HEADER.
* Display distributed file list correctly in usage message.
* Allow numbers in macro names.
* Bugfixes.
New in 1.4-p4:
* Deal with configure.ac as well as configure.in -- this time for real!
* The version numbering system now allows three point version numbers,
such as 1.4.4, without thinking they are alpha release numbers.
New in 1.4-p3:
* Deal with configure.ac as well as configure.in.
* Don't complain if `version.texi' is included in multiple places.
New in 1.4-p2:
* Deal with AC_CONFIG_FILES from autoconf-2.50.
* Improvements to f77 support.
* DESTDIR now works for script targets.
* distcheck-hook works correctly.
New in 1.4-p1:
* The version numbering system now allows fork identifiers (such as
the p1 in this version of automake).
* Cope gracefully with various versions of libtool which may or may not
require ltconfig, ltcf-c.sh, ltcf-cxx.sh or ltcf-gcj.sh.
* Bugfixes.
- New, optional Makefile variable HOMEPAGE, specifies a URL for
the home page of the software if it has one.
- The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the
README.html files.
- pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for
HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same
section.
Use uname -s to work out the Operating System.
FreeBSD has install-info and /usr/share/info/dir by default.
NetBSD doesn't, so, for now, don't try to do this on NetBSD.
