930a9a73 | 2022-01-26 06:33:19 | python: add 3.10 - 3.15 to the version search list Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/53530. Based on the cadence of Automake releases, add the current Python release (3.10), the current Python development (3.11), and then 4 more versions on top of that. It doesn't hurt to check for a few extra versions here since this is the fallback logic when the main `python` and `python3` programs aren't found. * m4/python.m4: Add python3.10 - python3.15. * NEWS: Mention new Python versions. | |

afba8295 | 2020-05-10 17:40:14 | automake: remove unused Automake::FileUtils::up_to_date_p function. Per thread at: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2020-04/msg00000.html> especially: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2020-05/msg00003.html * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm (up_to_date_p): remove. Nothing in Automake itself uses this. It is used in Autoconf's autom4te utility, but Autoconf has its own copy, and the duplication was impeding auto4mte development, as discussed in the thread above. (While here, insert missing =over/=back to placate pod2text.) * NEWS (Miscellanous changes): note this. | |

968bf9f6 | 2018-03-11 21:47:54 | install-sh: avoid (low risk) race in "/tmp" Ensure that nobody can cross privilege boundaries by pre-creating symlink on '$tmpdir' destination directory. Just testing 'mkdir -p' by creating "/tmp/ins$RANDOM-$$/d" is not safe because "/tmp" directory is usually world-writeable and "/tmp/ins$RANDOM-$$" content could be pretty easily guessed by attacker (at least for shells where $RANDOM is not supported). So, as the first step, create the "/tmp/ins$RANDOM-$$" without -p. This step would fail early if somebody wanted catch us. Systems that implement (and have enabled) fs.protected_symlinks kernel feature are not affected even without this commit. References: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760455 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1140725 * lib/install-sh: Implement safer 'mkdir -p' test by running '$mkdirprog $mkdir_mode "$tmpdir"' first. * NEWS: Update.

Since AM_PYTHON_PATH macro takes no maximum version argument, there is no need to generate _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST dynamically, like what was previously done by the reverted commit 1d60fb72168e62d33fe433380af621de64e22f23. We could rely on M4 to generate this list statically however this is likely to be a complex solution that would not improve maintainability. * m4/python.m4 (_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Add 'python3.7', 'python3.8', and 'python3.9'. * NEWS: Update. | |

3f8a2dd5 | 2017-11-22 21:07:29 | port elisp-compilation support to emacs-23.1 and newer In May of 2017, emacs.master support for using the long-deprecated byte-compile-dest-file function was removed, and that removal broke automake's elisp-compiling rule for any .el file not in the current directory. In emacs-23.1 (July 2009) byte-compile-dest-file-function became the recommended way to adjust the byte-compiler's destination. The removed functionality has been restored for Emacs-26, albeit with dissuasive diagnostics warning about the imminent removal of this functionality. It will be removed in Emacs-27. * lib/am/lisp.am (.el.elc): Use byte-compile-dest-file-function, rather than byte-compile-dest-file. Also, use "-f batch-byte-compile '$<'" rather than open-coding it, as suggested by Glenn Morris. * t/lisp-readonly-srcdir.sh: New file, to test for the above. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bugs fixed): Mention this problem. | |

f4e91bfc | 2017-03-13 12:41:59 | automake: Shorter object file names under subdir-objects Combining the 'subdir-objects' option with target-specific flags had the consequence of producing long object file names. This was done to preventively ensure the uniqueness of object file names. We are now using shorter names by default, and handle long names when an actual conflict is detected. This will hopefully reduce the necessity of using the 'prog_SHORTNAME' facility. Example: previously: AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = subdir-objects bin_PROGRAMS += path/to/foo path_to_foo_CFLAGS = $(AM_CFLAGS) -g resulted in objects: sub/path_to_foo-foo.o now object file name is: sub/foo-foo.o * bin/automake.in (proglist, liblist, ltliblist) (dup_shortnames): New globals.

6a675ef1 | 2014-12-24 10:57:17 | 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.

a4c0c62d | 2012-12-24 11:23:06 | texinfo: remove hack about info files in CLEANFILES variables Automake used to implement an undocumented hack causing '.info' files that appeared to be cleaned (by e.g. being listed in the CLEANFILES variable) to also be built in the builddir rather than in the srcdir; this was for backward compatibility with packages such as Texinfo, which did things like: info_TEXINFOS = texinfo.txi info-stnd.texi info.texi DISTCLEANFILES = texinfo texinfo-* info*.info* # Do not create info files for distribution. dist-info: in order not to distribute .info files. Now that we have the 'info-in-builddir' option that explicitly causes generated '.info' files to be placed in the builddir, this hack is no longer necessary, and we can remove it (after having deprecated it in the Automake 1.14 release already). * bin/automake.in (handle_texinfo_helper): Remove the hack.

01a7a4a7 | 2014-12-23 18:39:32 | dist: fix bug#18286 "distcheck fails to detect missing files" BTW, this issue had been already reported in the past: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2006-09/msg00008.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2013-01/msg00049.html "make distcheck" could sometimes fail to detect missing files in the distribution tarball, especially in those cases where both the generated files and their dependencies are explicitly in $(srcdir). An important example of this are *generated* makefile fragments included at Automake time in Makefile.am. A basic example: # -*- Makefile.am -*- $(srcdir)/fragment.am: $(srcdir)/data.txt $(srcdir)/preproc.sh cd $(srcdir) && $(SHELL) preproc.sh <data.txt >fragment.am include $(srcdir)/fragment.am ... If the use forgot to add data.txt and/or preproc.sh in the distribution tarball, "make distcheck" would have erroneously succeeded! The reason is that, while $(srcdir)/data.txt does not exist, make also looks in $(srcdir)/$(srcdir)/data.txt, and in the distcheck-issued VPATH build where $(srcdir) is '..', that file exists, as it is part of the original development directory. * t/distdir.am (distcheck): Adjust to have the build directory be '$(distdir)/_build/sub' rather than just '$(distdir)/_build'. Thanks Nicola Fontana for the suggestion. * t/distcheck-pr18286.sh: Enhance and tighten a little. * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 't/distcheck-pr18286.sh', as it's now passing. * t/subdir-am-cond.sh: Adjust to avoid a fully spurious failure due to the new distcheck semantics. * t/subdir-ac-subst.sh: Likewise. * t/dejagnu-relative-srcdir.sh: Likewise. * t/txinfo-builddir.sh: Likewise. * NEWS: Update.

55270ac3 | 2014-12-23 13:10:21 | include: fix bug in handling of user-defined makefile fragments generation If a user defined one single Makefile fragment to be included (via Automake includes) in his main Makefile.am, and gave a rule to generate that file from other data, Automake used to spuriously complain about with something like "overrides Automake target '$(srcdir)/foo.am". This change remove that spurious error (via a simple hack rather than a systematic change, but oh well). * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN-DEPS%) [?HAVE-MAKEFILE-IN-DEPS?]: Add a trailing "$(am__empty)" to the list of targets, which is enough to trick Automake into not complaining about "duplicated targets" in case the '%MAKEFILE-IN-DEPS%' list expands to a single target that is also declared in some user-defined rule. * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove now-passing test 't/am-include-only-one-generated-fragment.sh'. * NEWS: Update.
