(same backwards compat warnings related to 1.13 as in 1.12.5)
Bugs fixed in 1.12.6:
* Python-related bugs:
- The default installation location for python modules has been improved
for Python 3 on Debian and Ubuntu systems, changing from:
${prefix}/lib/python3/dist-packages
to
${prefix}/lib/python3.x/site-packages
This change should ensure modules installed using the default ${prefix}
"/usr/local" are found by default by system python 3.x installations.
See automake bug#10227.
- Python byte-compilation supports the new layout mandated by PEP-3147,
with its __pycache__ directory (automake bug#8847).
* Build system issues:
- The maintainer rebuild rules for Makefiles and aclocal.m4 in
Automake's own build system works correctly again (bug introduced
in Automake 1.12.5).
* Testsuite issues:
- The Vala-related tests has been changed to adjust to the removal of
the 'posix' profile in the valac compiler. See automake bug#12934
a.k.a. bug#12522.
- Some spurious testsuite failures related to older tools and systems
have been fixed.
