Prefer https: URLs
In Gnulib, Emacs, etc. we are changing ftp: and http: URLs to use
https:, to discourage man-in-the-middle attacks when downloading
software. The attached patch propagates these changes upstream to
Automake. This patch does not affect files that Automake is
downstream of, which I'll patch separately.
Althouth the resources are not secret, plain HTTP is vulnerable to
malicious routers that tamper with responses from GNU servers,
and this sort of thing is all too common when people in some other
countries browse US-based websites. See, for example:
Aceto G, Botta A, Pescapé A, Awan MF, Ahmad T, Qaisar
S. Analyzing internet censorship in Pakistan. RTSI
2016. https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/RTSI.2016.7740626
HTTPS is not a complete solution here, but it can be a significant
help. The GNU project regularly serves up code to users, so we should
take some care here.

deps: 'subdir-object' option now works when foo_SOURCES contains $(var)
Following a suggestions of Johan Kristensen, we have config.status use
'make' invocations rather than Makefile-parsing 'sed' hacks to bootstrap
the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. To handle
the inclusion of such files that are still missing when make is first
we basically generate a temporary Makefile without these includes, and
call 'make' on that Makefile.
This fixes the serious bug bug#13928, which was an hard blocker to make the
behavior mandated by the 'subdir-object' active by default (which we want
to do in Automake 2.0).
The issue has also been reported in bug#15919.
* NEWS, THANKS: Update.
* bin/automake.in (handle_languages): Add a trailing "marking" comment
("# am--include-marker") to the generated Makefile lines issuing 'include'
directives for the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments.
Also rename the generated Makefile variable 'am__depfiles_maybe' to the
clearer 'am__maybe_remake_depfiles'.
Minor unrelated refactoring.
* lib/am/configure.am: Adjust to account for the 'am__depfiles_maybe' ->
'am__maybe_remake_depfiles' renaming.
* lib/am/depend.am: Add rules to generate a dummy version of all the
dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments.
* m4/depout.m4: Use make invocations rather than Makefile-parsing sed hacks
to bootstrap the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments.
We still use some sed trickery in order to remove the inclusion of the
still non existing .Po and .Plo files from the Makefile we invoke make
upon; this is done stripping lines that contain the magic string
"# am--include-marker".
* m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Given that now automake generates Makefiles
containing include statements with trailing comment, adjust the checks done
here to make sure $MAKE support that; e.g., "include foo.mk # comment"
rather than just "include foo.mk".
Also refactor and adjust to leave better debugging info in config.log.
* t/postproc.sh: Rename ...
* t/depend-postproc.sh: ... to this, and adjust and enhance.
* t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Adjust.
(XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 't/subobj-indir-pr13928.sh', which is now succeeding.
* t/subobj-indir-pr13928.sh: Simplify slightly, now that we expect it to
pass.
* t/depcomp8a.sh: Adjust grepping check to account for the changes in
the generated Makefile, and tp be somewhat more robust in light of possible
future modifications.
* t/depcomp8b.sh: Likewise.
* t/subobj11b.sh: Likewise.
* t/subobj11c.sh: Likewise.
* t/extra-sources.sh: Likewise.
* t/lex-depend-grep.sh: Likewise.
* t/lex-depend-cxx.sh: Add a command to help debugging in case of test
failure.

tests: remove exec bit from all of them ('micro' branch)
It gives the impression that they are directly runnable, as with
"./t/foo.sh", but it has been a while since that was the case. Today,
tests are runnable only through "make check" or "./runtest".
This change is for the 'micro' branch (automake 1.13.2a). It will
soon be followed by similar patches for the 'maint' branch (automake
1.13a) and the 'master' branch (automake 1.99a).
* t/*.sh, t/*.tap: Remove executable bit.
* maint.mk (sc_tests_executable): Remove.
(syntax_check_rules): Adjust.
* gen-testsuite-part: Set permissions of generated tests to
'444' (-r--r--r--), rather than 555 (-r-xr-xr-x).

tests: prefer including 'test-init.sh' rather than './defs'
This is a follow-up to today's commit v1.12.4-22-g0610fc8,
"tests: prepare to move ./defs to t/ax/test-init.sh"
* All tests: To run the common setup, use the command:
. test-init.sh
instead of the older, "historical" one:
. ./defs || exit 1
Note that the "|| exit 1" wasn't really useful, since the 'errexit'
shell flag is in effect in both './defs' and 'test-init.sh', and all
the known shells that are good enough to run the automake testsuite
do automatically exit with error when a sourced file cannot be found
(at least, they do so in non-interactive mode, which is the only
mode that concerns us in the testsuite).
* t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh, t/ax/testsuite-summary-checks.sh: Likewise.
* gen-testsuite-part: Do the same in the generated tests.

tests: simpler workaround for shells losing the exit status in exit trap
Now that we can assume our tests are run by a decent POSIX shell, we
can simplify our workaround aimed at having the exit status propagated
correctly to the code in the exit trap. Unfortunately, we cannot
dispense with such a workaround altogether, because it's still required
by some shells we need to support (at least Solaris 10 /bin/ksh and
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh).
For more information about the need of that workaround, see the entry
about 'trap' in the section "Limitations of Shell Builtins" in the
Autoconf manual:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#trap>
The new workaround has been tested successfully with the following
shells:
- Bash 4.1
- Bash 3.2
- Bash 3.0
- Bash 2.05b
- dash 0.5.5.1
- dash 0.5.2
- AT&T Ksh 93u (from official Debian package)
- MirBSD Korn Shell 40.2 (from official Debian package)
- Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /bin/ksh
- Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh
- NetBSD 5.1 /bin/sh
- NetBSD 5.1 /bin/ksh
* t/ax/test-init.sh (Exit): Rename ...
(_am_exit): ... like this.
(exit): New alias for '_am_exit'. We cannot simply redefine 'exit'
as a shell function, because some shells (dash 0.5.5.1, Solaris 10
/bin/ksh and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh) do not allow it.
(_am_exit, trap): Add extra escaping for 'exit' calls, to ensure we
really invoke the 'exit' builtin and not our alias with the same
name.
* configure.ac: Check that the shell selected to run our testsuite
supports aliases named like shell builtins.
* t/REAMDE: Adjust.
* All tests: Adjust, by simply using 'exit' instead of 'Exit'.
* t/self-check-explicit-skips.sh: Adjust: the first usage of 'exit'
after it has been redefined as an alias must be on a new line w.r.t.
that where the alias is defined, in order for the redefinition to be
honored.
* syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Delete.
(sc_tests_exit_not_Exit): New.
(syntax_check_rules): Adjust.
(sc_tests_automake_fails): Simplify the recipe a little.
* Several tests: Remove now useless spurious quoting once required
to placate the 'sc_tests_Exit_not_exit' maintainer check.
* gen-testsuite-part: Likewise. Also, avoid uses of 'Exit' in the
generated scripts.

tests: prefer using 'is_newest' over 'ls -t' hacks
To verify that a file 'new' is newer than the file 'old', it's much
cleaner to use "is_newest new old" rather than the more clumsy
"ls -t". Adjust several of our tests accordingly.

of "ls -t" and similar.

tests: fix a failure in Lex/C++ tests on Mac OS X
The <cstdio> header from Xcode-4.3.2 on Mac OS X 10.7.3 declares a 'isatty'
function with C++ linkage, that conflicts with our dummy definition of the
same function, which in turn is required to work around the absence of the
unistd.h header on MinGW (see commit 'v1.11-2138-gfeea090' of 11-04-2012).
So we tweak the affected tests to work around this new problem as well.
This fixes automake bug#11345.
* t/lex-clean-cxx.sh ($required): Since we are at it, add an explicit
'c++' requirement.
* t/lex-depend-cxx.sh ($required): Likewise.
(my-hdr.hxx): Don't include <cstdio>. The "using namespace" directive
should still be enough to ensure the content of this header is not valid
C, albeit being of course valid C++.
Fix unrelated typos in comments.
(joe.ll): Adjust, by removing the call to 'printf'.
* THANKS: Add entry for reporter "Adam Mercer".

tests: avoid spurious failures in tests on C++ and lex
This is a follow-up to commit v1.11-2128-g7f2bc63 of 09-04-2012,
"tests: avoid spurious failures with non-flex 'lex' programs and
C++". It is required to avoid a couple of spurious failures on
Solaris and NetBSD systems (at least). See also automake bug#11185.
* t/lex-clean-cxx.sh (parsefoo.lxx): Do not declared the provided
dummy 'isatty' function as 'static', since that might conflict with
a declaration of it as 'extern' pulled in through other system
* t/lex-depend-cxx.sh (joe.ll): Likewise.
* t/README: Update advice, to avoid similar issues in the future.

tests: rename 'tests/' => 't/', '*.test' => '*.sh'
When we (soon) convert the Automake testsuite to a non-recursive
make setup, we'll have to fix the entries of $(TESTS) to be
prepended with the subdirectory they are in; this will increase
the length of $(TESTS), and thus increase the possibility of
exceeding the command-line length limits on some systems (most
notably, MinGW/MSYS). See automake bug#7868 for more information.
Thus we rename the 'tests/' subdirectory to 't/', and each 'x.test'
script in there to 'x.sh'; this way, the $(TESTS) entry 'foo.test'
will become 't/foo.sh', which have the same number of characters.
