Paul Eggert 3562e384 2017-09-16T13:03:36 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.

Jim Meyering e0ce774e 2012-04-15T18:44:50 build: use latest help2man, but without locale support * doc/help2man: Update to latest (1.40.8), but built with --disable-nls, which elides the less-portable locale-related code, and with the "use 5.008" manually changed to "use 5.006". Thanks to Brendan O'Dea for the tips. * THANKS: Update Brendan's address.
Jim Meyering 171a31b1 2012-04-13T17:58:04 build: use slightly older help2man, for improved portability Fixes automake bug#11235 * doc/help2man: Downgrade to help2man-1.36.4, so that it does not require Locale/gettext.pm, which is not available on a default Fedora 16 installation. Reported by Stefano Lattarini.
Jim Meyering da0f9ab4 2012-04-12T15:07:19 build: generate doc/*.1 files; include help2man This change is required to avoid making a distributed file depend on a generated (non-distributed) one. The preceding change introduced one such dependency, with the distributed doc/*.1 depending on the generated aclocal and automake files. Here, we avoid the problem by generating the doc/*.1 files rather than distributing them. * doc/help2man: New file, version 1.37.1. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add doc/help2man. (man1_MANS): Rename from $(dist_man1_MANS). Remove $(srcdir) prefix. (CLEANFILES): Add these files here, rather than to $(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES), since we are no longer distributing them. (update_mans): Use doc/help2man, not $(HELP2MAN). * configure.ac: Don't test for help2man, now that we bundle it.
