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.

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.

aclocal: deprecate ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS, trace AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR instead
Maintaining ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in the Makefile.am to pass extra flags
to aclocal is (and have always been) quite of an hack. For example,
autoreconf is forced to grep Makefile.am to honour those flags. But
this is a bad obsolescent behaviour; in fact, the autotools have moved
consistently in the past years from custom grepping of Makefile.am and
configure.ac to tracing of m4 macro calls, which is more consistent,
more reliable and more flexible.
And when autoreconf is not used, the developer is forced to add *by hand*
the flags specified by ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to the aclocal calls not triggered
by make rebuild rules; here lie again more duplication and more chances
for errors.
Moreover, ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS has only two typical use cases:
- to instruct aclocal to look for extra macro definition in a local
directory (as with "ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4"); and
- to further instruct aclocal to copy in that local directory the
required third-party .m4 files found in the system-wide directory
(as with "ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 --install").
The first use case can be better covered if aclocal can instead trace and
honours call to the AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR autoconf macro; and the second
use case shouldn't be considered really legitimate, as it is quite (and
subtly) brittle (see automake bug#9037).
Thus we now make aclocal trace AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR macro, and act
accordingly. For backward compatibility, we continue to support the
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS special variable (although removing any mention of it
from the documentation). Future Automake releases will likely start
to warn about the use of that variable, and eventually remove support
for it altogether.
From a suggestion by Eric Blake.
This is a much simplified (and IMHO saner) version of the patch series
discussed in the threads:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-10/msg00045.html>
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-12/msg00156.html>
* aclocal.in ($ac_config_macro_dir): New global variable.
(trace_used_macros): Also trace the macro 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR',
and set the '$ac_config_macro_dir' variable accordingly.
(parse_arguments): Code for diagnosis of '--install' used without
any user-specified include directory moved ...
(while (1)): .. into the main loop. Which now also updates the
list of user-specified include directories to include the directory
given as argument to the call (if any) of 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR'.
* lib/am/configure.am: Update comments.
* NEWS: Updated.
* doc/automake.texi: Likewise. Also, stop advising the use of the
'--install' in ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS (see automake bug#9037 for a rationale),
and remove any reference to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS (which is now considered
obsolescent).
* t/aclocal-path-install.sh: Adjust grepping check in the aclocal
error messages.
* t/subpkg.sh: Updated: add 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR' call to configure.ac,
remove setting of 'ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS' in Makefile.am and use of aclocal
command line arguments.
* t/subpkg2.sh: Likewise.
* t/subdir8.sh: Likewise.
* t/remake10c.sh: Likewise.
* t/remake8a.sh: Likewise.
* t/remake8b.sh: Likewise.
* t/aclocal4.sh: Likewise.
* t/aclocal6.sh: Likewise.
* t/acloca14.sh: Likewise.
* t/acloca22.sh: Likewise.
* t/aclocal5.sh: Likewise, and do not not invade the Automake
namespace (this avoids spurious failures).
* t/acloca14b.sh: New test, identical to the previous version of
'acloca14.test'; it is kept to verify backwards compatibility with
the use of ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS.
* t/acloca22b.sh: Likewise (but for 'acloca22.test').
* t/aclocal-amflags.sh: New test, check for backwards
compatibility that ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS still works.
* t/remake-macrodir.sh: New test, checking that aclocal's honoring of
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR interacts nicely with automatic rebuild rules.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Add the new 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: 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.
* tests/: Rename ...
* t/: ... to this.
* t/*.test: Rename ...
* t/*.sh: ... to this.
* t/.gitignore: Removed as obsolete.
