Known issue not fixed in 1.8.4:
Historically Automake has always tried to generate V7 format
tarballs during `make dist'. This format is quite antiquated, but
is portable. It supports filenames with up to 99 characters. When
given longer filenames some tar implementations will diagnose the
problem while other will generate broken or non-V7 tarballs. For
instance GNU tar 1.13.25 will produce an archive with GNU
extensions, while the latest GNU tar beta (1.13.93) will silently
truncate filenames.
Automake 1.9 will have options to select newer tar formats, and
diagnose long filenames. In the meantime we recommand that people
who cannot avoid long filenames in their packages stick to GNU tar
1.13.25.
Bugs fixed in 1.8.4:
* Long standing bugs:
- Fix AM_PATH_PYTHON to correctly display $PYTHON when it has been
overridden by the user.
- Honor PATH_SEPARATOR in various places of the Automake package, for
the sake of OS/2.
- Adjust dependency tracking mode detection to ICC 8.0's new output.
(PR/416)
- Fix install-sh so it can install the `mv' binary... using `mv'.
- Fix tru64 dependency tracking for libtool objects.
- Work around Exuberant Ctags when creating a TAGS files in a directory
without files to scan but with subdirectories to include.
* Bugs introduced by 1.8:
- Fix an "internal error" when @LIBOBJS@ is used in a variable that is
not defined in the same conditions as the _LDADD that uses it.
- Do not warn when JAVAROOT is overridden, this is legitimate.
