fc1c3f65 2025-01-31 09:20:47 automake: just use warnings, with no => FATAL. Per Perl recommendation: https://perldoc.perl.org/warnings#Fatal-Warnings Suggested by Collin Funk: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2025-01/msg00003.html And in the Perl discussion: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/22954#issuecomment-2622966302 * bin/aclocal.in: just use warnings, not making them fatal. * bin/automake.in: * contrib/tap-driver.pl: * gen-testsuite-part: * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: * lib/Automake/Condition.pm: * lib/Automake/Config.in: * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm: * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: * lib/Automake/General.pm: * lib/Automake/Getopt.pm: * lib/Automake/Item.pm: * lib/Automake/ItemDef.pm: * lib/Automake/Language.pm: * lib/Automake/Location.pm: * lib/Automake/Options.pm: * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: * lib/Automake/RuleDef.pm: * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm: * lib/Automake/Variable.pm: * lib/Automake/Version.pm: * lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: * lib/Automake/XFile.pm: * t/ax/deltree.pl: * t/ax/extract-testsuite-summary.pl: * t/check-fd-redirect.sh: * t/tap-signal.tap: * t/tests-environment-fd-redirect.sh: * t/testsuite-summary-count-many.sh:

Reported by Igor Todorovski <itodorov@ca.ibm.com> in <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2025-01/msg00000.html>. * bin/automake.in (transform): Parentheses the '!' operators so Perl 5.41.8 doesn't warn about "possible precedence problem".
c22ff066 2025-01-01 14:37:27 Rename file to fix copyright update glitch * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST), NEWS: Adjust to file renaming. * NEWS-future: Rename from NEWS-2.0, so that "make update-copyright" does not think this is a man page and use \(en rather than - in year ranges. Change \(en back to -.

cef4dc71 2024-07-09 15:35:13 test: explanation of MTIME_RESOLUTION resetting. * t/ax/test-defs.in (MTIME_RESOLUTION): separate the case where am_cv_filesystem_timestamp_resolution is not set for more explanations, but still reset MTIME_RESOLUTION to 1 even if it is already set. Which it should be when running tests, because config.status is sourced. But it's too late in the release process to change this now; after the release, can try keeping a non-empty MTIME_RESOLUTION.

Also "quote" this and other $am_cv values. (_AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION): Test for yes/no. * t/ax/test-defs.in: Set am_cv_sleep_fractional_seconds to 'no', not 'false'.
07280092 2024-07-01 08:31:40 doc: tweak release info in HACKING. * HACKING: mention gnulib/build-aux/announce-gen, etc.
b020a9ca 2024-06-30 13:26:51 automake: avoid Perl-level warning on empty variable $(). https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2024-06/msg00085.html * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (scan_variable_expansions): recognize and do nothing if the variable name is empty: $(). * t/varempty.sh: new test. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): add it.

7e768ee0 2024-06-20 10:14:06 maint: wording tweaks for announcement. * NEWS: Automake 2.0 may not happen. * maintainer/maint.mk (announcement): missed newline.
c7ac3e43 2024-06-20 10:04:55 test: sync list-of-tests. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): add back t/instdir-ltlib.sh; turns out all tests need to be listed there, XFAIL_TESTS is not included, and that seems ok. * t/CheckListOfTests.am (maintainer-check-list-of-tests): only delete temp files if result is successful.
bc1042e7 2024-06-19 10:02:39 automake: insane typo * instead of 2. * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): managed to replace 2 with * in ls -t test. Clearly I have gone insane.
d7326376 2024-06-19 09:43:18 maint: secondary updates from make fetch. * lib/gendocs.sh: update with make fetch. * lib/gitlog-to-changelog: likewise.
cde0e3bb 2024-06-19 09:41:22 doc: rewrite subsecond NEWS entry, sanity.m4 "make" testing wrong, etc. * m4/sanity.m4 (_AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION): mention that testing of "make" is wrong here; but $(MAKE) is not available? Do some special pleading that it won't matter in practice; we'll see. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2024-06/msg00051.html (AM_SANITY_CHECK): use $[]* instead of $[*]2 to avoid the confusing apparent (but not) use of shell arrays; the square brackets are parsed off by m4. * lib/am/check.am (output_system_information): en passant, mention that $(AWK) should always be defined since AC_PROG_AWK is part of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE nowadays. * NEWS: rewrite subsecond NEWS entry:workaround, more references.
c09ff1df 2024-06-19 09:01:51 doc: original purpose of $sleep is when AC_OUTPUT is not used. * t/ax/test-defs.in (sleep): mention original purpose of $sleep, namely when AC_OUTPUT is not used and hence the sleep done in AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_* is not done: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2010-10/msg00000.html Discovered by Bruno in his rearch on the "sleep" history: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2024-06/msg00054.html

eb20585d 2024-06-18 10:32:09 aclocal: add --aclocal-path option to override ACLOCAL_PATH envvar. From https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2022-01/msg00029.html (plus wording tweaks from Karl; and thanks to Bogdan for research). * bin/aclocal.in (usage): relabel output of m4 search path components to be somewhat more correct (Karl), although it's still a mess. (parse_arguments): add new option --aclocal-path=s. (parse_ACLOCAL_PATH): use $aclocal_path instead of hardwiring envvar. * doc/automake.texi (aclocal Options): document it. (dirlist): new anchor so we can reference it. (Modifying the Macro Search Path: @file{ACLOCAL_PATH}): mention the option. (Possible future incompatibility): tone down; it might never happen. * t/aclocal-path-precedence.sh: test the option. * NEWS: mention the new option.
fbf571f3 2024-06-18 08:54:27 doc: preserve old node name. Following 4981e5997 (doc: modernize version control doc). * doc/automake.texi (CVS): insert @anchor{CVS} so this (prior) node name will still work, e.g., in HTML. Reflow surrounding source.
fad36f78 2024-06-17 15:38:11 automake: omit 1s test in _AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION, for speed. From https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2024-06/msg00055.html plus https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2024-06/msg00054.html. * m4/sanity.m4 (_AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION): Don't test whether 1 sec works; instead just accept the 2 sec delay in the Automake test $sleep in exchange for not incurring the 2s delay of running the test for all packages on 1s-resolution platforms. Platforms that support subsecond mtimes will still use them.
6cb69ad8 2024-06-17 14:44:28 test: Improve output of system information in test-suite.log. Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/71421. * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG): Use $(AWK) instead of 'awk'. Remove an extra space in uname output. Start the line with "System information", and other sections with "Distribution information". * NEWS: add reference to #71421.
a2d56238 2024-06-17 10:06:25 automake: allow omitting logs of skipped tests from test-suite.log. * doc/automake.texi (Parallel Test Harness): Describe the contents of test-suite.log.

(am__check_pre): Set am__collect_skipped_logs. * t/parallel-tests-without-skipped-logs.sh: New file, based on t/parallel-tests-no-color-in-log.sh. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add it. * NEWS: Mention the change.
9b16e59f 2024-06-17 09:50:57 doc: more subsecond references. * NEWS: add the original commit reference: 720a11531, https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-commit/2022-02/msg00009.html

42bac29f 2024-06-16 09:20:29 test: the instdir-ltlib test is expected to fail. Discussed in https://bugs.gnu.org/71596. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): move t/instdir-ltlib.sh (XFAIL_TESTS): to here. It previously worked by accident because lib_LTLIBRARIES was misspelled as lib_LTIBRARIES; Paul Eggert fixed that on June 7, commit 1d35638b23e95fe6f41c828a3442f6d7f242f4c4, and the test started failing as a result. * t/instdir-ltlib.sh: add some doc. * t/all.sh: likewise. (Another xfail test, which is mysterious to me.)
e09ee974 2024-06-16 08:41:06 aclocal: path separator is ; on OS/2 and Windows. Adapted from and fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/71534. * bin/aclocal.in (parse_ACLOCAL_PATH): use $^O to recognize OS/2 and Windows for the environment path element separator. * NEWS: mention this.
f3752617 2024-06-15 18:18:35 automake: sort keys for reproducibility.

df2ff7cb 2024-06-12 18:24:14 automake: omit make subsecond tests if at one-second resolution. Partially ameliorates report from Bruno Haible, thread at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2024-06/msg00015.html * m4/sanity.m4 (_AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION): if resolution is only one second, assume make works, to avoid several sleeps.
0728c589 2024-06-12 10:20:15 doc: typo in t/color-tests2.sh comment. * t/color-tests2.sh: "a working a working".
4981e599 2024-06-07 10:23:59 doc: modernize version control doc Be more generic about version control instead of saying “CVS”. In the specific examples, use Git instead of CVS.
1d35638b 2024-06-07 08:41:45 maint: spelling and whitespace fixes Most of these spelling fixes are just to comments and documentation. However, some affect tests as follows: * t/cond36.sh (tparse.h): Fix misspelling of dependency. * t/disthook.sh: Fix misspelling of file. * t/help3.sh: Fix misspelling of long option. * t/instdir-ltlib.sh: Fix misspellings of macro names. This causes the test to fail, so someone with libtool expertise needs to look into this. * t/tap-no-spurious-numbers.sh (highno): Fix misspelling of shell var.
85efe505 2024-06-07 07:56:25 maint: fix version mismatch * m4/amversion.m4 (AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION) (AM_SET_CURRENT_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Bump to 1.16.91 (auto-updated).
01e90dac 2024-06-06 06:53:52 maint: post-release: bump version to 1.16.91 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Post-release version bump to 1.16.91.
d61068e1 2024-06-02 18:02:41 tests: work also with v2.72-9-g7a6347d1 and newer * t/dist-missing-m4.sh: Accommodate a slightly different diagnostic ("undefined or overquoted macro" rather than "possibly undefined macro") in autoconf as of v2.72-9-g7a6347d1.
2e3b7da5 2024-06-02 10:47:20 maint: support test releases numbered from .90 for announcements. * maintainer/maint.mk (beta_version_rx, alpha_version_rx): update to use MAJOR.MINOR.90, .92, ..., for "beta" (test) releases, and .91, .93, ... for "alpha" (development). Follows the 2024-01-21 change. * HACKING: typo en passant.
61357c93 2024-05-31 08:58:23 maint: secondary updates from make fetch. * doc/help2man: restore copyright list as in upstream. * lib/gendocs.sh: update with make fetch. * lib/texinfo.tex: likewise.
788615aa 2024-05-31 08:55:10 maint: prepare for next pretest. * HACKING: typo, tweak release info. * maintainer/maint.mk: typo. * maintainer/syntax-checks.mk: typo, and exclude test-defs.sh (actually .in) from the `...` test because I can't figure out how to get the same results with $(...).
b5311796 2024-05-29 18:16:01 missing: shellcheck disable=SC2006,SC2268 From Jacob Bachmeyer, in thread around https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2022-01/msg00014.html * lib/missing: disable shellcheck warnings about `...`. We must support pre-POSIX shells in Automake. (scriptversion=2024-05-29.18)
23e69f6e 2024-05-27 12:34:35 test: check that subsecond mtime works with make. Trying to fix https://bugs.gnu.org/68808. * m4/sanity.m4 (_AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION): check that make works with subsecond mtimes, as well as sleep and ls. (Known to fail with the make 3.81 that ships with macOS.) * configure.ac (MTIME_RESOLUTION): notice if it erroneously expands to the empty string, i.e., fall back to 1 if $am_cv_filesystem_timestamp_resolution ended up being unset. * t/ax/test-defs.in (MTIME_RESOLUTION): also fall back to 1 if the variable to not set, with a message. Fix other typos en passant. * HACKING: tweak.
b5b6f240 2024-05-26 15:35:58 test: objc tests on openbsd. Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/68179. * t/objcxx-deps.sh: test for objc_getProperty and other functions in the objc library. * t/objcxx-minidemo.sh: likewise. * t/strip2.sh (STRIP): use -x instead of --verbose to test strip with multiple words, to work with openbsd (and aix) strip.
0d49ecb2 2024-05-21 09:54:35 doc: test-driver option args are separate words. For https://bugs.gnu.org/70638. As now mentioned in the manual, the description of the test-driver command-line interface has been wrong since 2011 when it was first added. The manual, and the driver usage messages themselves, have consistently shown option arguments joined to the option name with `=' characters, while the implementation of Automake has always provided option arguments in the following argument word, and the provided test drivers only accepted option arguments in the following argument word. Because Automake has never used the `=' syntax, there can't possibly be a working driver which actually follows the specification as written, so, despite the fierce language of the manual, we agreed that changing the specification was the right approach. The `test-driver' program's usage message has already been fixed (#22445), but the full extent of the problem wasn't noticed at that time. * doc/automake.texi (Command-line arguments for test drivers): Fix the table of options to show arguments passed as separate words; add footnote explaining this rather sorry situation. * doc/automake.texi (Use TAP with the Automake test harness): Remove `=' from documentation of `--diagnostic-string', because that was never acceptable either. * lib/tap-driver.sh: Fix usage message. * contrib/tap-driver.pl: Change usage message to match the defined protocol. (This implementation parses options using Perl's `Getopt::Long' module, so it accepts the `=' syntax as specified, but this program isn't actually used.)
3000a024 2024-05-21 09:48:18 doc: NEWS subsecond reference. * NEWS: another subsecond reference.
fa816226 2024-05-06 08:16:40 doc: update Vala documentation From https://bugs.gnu.org/70557#29. * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): Update the URL for Vala. Drop the mention of a version requirement, as no current system will have a too-old version of Vala. Note the restriction on conditional inclusion of source files in *_SOURCES.
618408d7 2024-04-29 18:21:50 doc: typos in test file. From https://bugs.gnu.org/70557#23. * t/vala-vapi.sh: typos.

efb9f7b2 2024-02-07 14:56:25 test: protect more yacc declarations against C vs. C++ linkage. Fix for more of https://bugs.gnu.org/68832. * t/yacc-clean-cxx.sh: more #ifdef of yylex, etc., following https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=62886, now for OpenIndiana. Specifically: #if (defined __cplusplus) && ((!defined __sun) || (defined __EXTERN_C__)) * t/yacc-cxx.sh: likewise. * t/yacc-d-cxx.sh: likewise. * t/yacc-mix-c-cxx.sh: likewise.

50466f62 2024-01-28 07:45:25 test: more rerunning autotools, C++ std:: portability. Trying to fix more of https://bugs.gnu.org/68119. * t/aclocal-deleted-header-aclocal-amflags.sh: $sleep before file modifications. * t/aclocal-deleted-header.sh: likewise. * t/aclocal-deps.sh: likewise. * t/subdir-add2-pr46.sh: likewise. * t/yacc-mix-c-cxx.sh: #include <cstdlib> before using std::..., following yacc-cxx and yacc-d-cxx tests.
d550b6ee 2024-01-27 18:07:48 test: output system information after summary report. From https://bugs.gnu.org/68746. * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)) <output_system_information>: new shell fn, called inline to write basic os information into test-suite.log. Also, question (do not change) the ".. contents:: :depth: 2" line; what is this for?
05856fd6 2024-01-27 10:59:15 maint: secondary updates from make fetch. * INSTALL: updated from make distcheck. * maintainer/maint.mk (fetch): update top-level INSTALL if we update lib/INSTALL. * lib/gendocs.sh: update with make fetch.
248edc44 2024-01-24 15:47:59 maint: Update files from upstream with 'make fetch'. * lib/INSTALL: update with make fetch. * lib/config.guess: likewise. * lib/config.sub: likewise. * lib/gitlog-to-changelog: likewise. * lib/update-copyright: likewise.

211dc035 2024-01-24 15:34:29 doc: more about pretest numbering. * HACKING: mention change to numbered pretests. * configure.ac: and hence am_beta_version_rx won't match any more. Let's just call all pretests development snapshots.
2fa17ccc 2024-01-23 08:53:18 automake: recommend autoreconf -f with version mismatches. From https://bugs.gnu.org/68674. * bin/automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): change error to suggest running autoreconf -f. The version mismatch is most likely to happen due to the cache files, which aclocal && automake (the previous recommendation) does not delete. (scan_autoconf_files): likewise. * doc/automake.texi (Auto-generating aclocal.m4): mention autoreconf. Other minor wording changes.
2838316b 2024-01-21 08:57:50 maint: use 1.xx.90-style pretest versions. In response to https://bugs.gnu.org/54412. * configure.ac (AC_INIT): 1.16.90. * m4/amversion.m4: Likewise (auto-updated).
70128b8b 2024-01-20 14:33:14 python: use deb_system instead of posix_local if prefix = /usr. Continuing with https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=54412. * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON) <am_python_setup_scheme>: factor out common scheme-related code to this new variable. If the scheme is posix_local and the prefix is /usr, use deb_system (for Debian package builds). * NEWS: more explanations (and unrelated references, en passant).
ac64ce26 2024-01-17 14:48:13 python: use posix_prefix instead of posix_local on Debian. From https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=54412#17. (Patch slightly adapted by Bogdan from original by Gianfranco, as posted by Stefano Rivera in message#14.) * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): replace Debian's posix_local scheme with posix_prefix. * doc/automake.texi (Python) <pythondir>: say a bit more. * NEWS: mention this.
22ecc131 2024-01-17 09:51:40 automake: a millisecond is too fast for subsecond-mtime. This patch is from https://bugs.gnu.org/68325. * m4/sanity.m4 (_AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION): don't try for a millisecond; make a hundredth of a second the fastest we'll go. Apparently there are plenty of systems which supposedly support subsecond-mtimes down to the millisecond and yet randomly fail parallelized tests. For example: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=68119#18 Maybe the tests themselves need fixing. (The ones that run autotools multiple times in succession.) A work in progress.
420b53da 2024-01-17 09:44:49 doc: mention debian python 3.10 changes; master menu; etc. * doc/automake.texi (Creating amhello): mention libtool too. (FAQ): remove spurious leftover "Errors with distclean" menu entry. (Top): Regenerate master menu (M-x texinfo-master-menu).
3cd8f545 2024-01-13 18:09:02 python: add 3.20 - 3.16 to the version search list. * m4/python.m4: Add python3.20 - python3.16. * NEWS: Mention these versions too.

ea454b4f 2023-12-31 18:28:10 doc: overview of autotools ordering. * doc/automake.texi (Creating amhello): briefly mention the order in which to run the autotools, a la autoreconf. A couple other tweaks.
87119fa3 2023-12-31 15:27:15 test: don't hang waiting for Solaris lex/yacc to read from stdin. From https://bugs.gnu.org/68165. * t/get-sysconf.sh: Don't let $LEX or $YACC read from stdin when trying --version and --help. Only lex --version hangs, but may as well avoid it in general.
21ac1161 2023-12-30 15:37:05 dist: Use -9 instead of --best, and only for gzip, to pacify Alpine. From https://bugs.gnu.org/68151. * lib/am/distdir.am (GZIP_ENV): Set to -9, not --best, since Alpine does not support --best. (distcheck): Don't use GZIP_ENV when invoking gzip for decompression, since Alpine does not support -1..-9 with decompression. * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions): Document the change. * NEWS: mention this. (En passant, add more change links.)
b79e21c5 2023-12-27 07:48:17 maint: avoid a false-positive syntax-check failure * maintainer/syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_plain_sleep): This would match the "sleep 1" in a comment. So filter out shell-style comments before matching.
c8fcdede 2023-12-27 06:52:50 maint: avoid a racy distcheck failure * lib/am/distdir.am (am__remove_distdir): Use ";" not "&&" after the chmod-running find, so that a failing find doesn't cause the entire rule to fail. This could happen when a directory like doc/automake.t2d being processed by find is concurrently deleted by another rule.
5eb995c3 2023-12-26 14:26:20 doc: typos in NEWS. From https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2023-12/msg00037.html. * NEWS: typos.
01b62818 2023-12-25 15:42:34 test: silent-defaults.sh rerun autotools each time. Follow-up to https://bugs.gnu.org/32868. * t/silent-defaults.sh: rerun $ACLOCAL && $AUTOMAKE for each trial, else test failed. (Why it has always succeeded before now, and/or what has changed, I don't know.) Remake the cache for each trial, for reliability. Echo trial description. * doc/automake.texi (Silent Rules): tweak text. (Unsilencing Automake): new node. Mention make --debug=p to completely unsilence rules.
354b7e47 2023-12-25 15:40:25 test: self-announce leading installcheck/protocol/PATH information. * t/ax/am-test-lib.sh (am_extra_info): self-announce where the initial reports on installcheck, test protocol, and PATH come from. Apparently this doesn't disturb the tests. If other people don't like the extra verbiage, no problem to remove.
0249be1e 2023-12-25 15:38:15 test: force long sleep with explicit cache variable setting. From https://bugs.gnu.org/67670. * t/ax/test-defs.in: when MTIME_RESOLUTION is set to 1 because automake/autom4te do not support subsecond-mtime, also set am_cv_sleep_fractional_seconds=false. Otherwise the random parallel test failures from given bug and others return. * m4/sanity.m4 (_AM_SLEEP_FRACTIONAL_SECONDS): reformat. (_AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION): elide "the" in AC_CACHE_CHECK. * t/amassign.sh: end with :. * HACKING: more on debugging tests. * NEWS: update.
6a2d079b 2023-12-24 15:02:30 doc: typos from codespell.

aa55e07c 2023-12-24 08:56:30 maint: email in THANKS for Zack Weinberg. * THANKS (Zack Weinberg): update from zackw@panix.com to zack@owlfolio.org, per Zack.
448fd777 2023-12-24 08:55:04 test: do not leave files as mode zero. Follows up on https://bugs.gnu.org/67868. * t/dist-with-unreadable-makefile-fails.sh: chmod u+rw at end. Also follow usual pattern of ending tests with :, not explicit exit. * t/tap-bad-prog.tap: chmod u+r at end (since only r removed).
9ab5c03e 2023-12-24 08:45:50 warn: avoid "only used once" warning for subsecond_mtime. * bin/automake.in (version): uselessly use $Automake::FileUtils::subsecond_mtime a second time to avoid Perl warning.
8f43e75d 2023-12-23 10:44:03 doc: more on help2man and "Errors with distclean". This fixes (the rest of) https://bugs.gnu.org/67891. * doc/automake.texi (Errors with distclean): make a subsection of "Checking the Distribution". Contrast help2man usage examples of Autoconf (includes man pages in distribution) and Automake (no man pages, distributes the help2man script instead). (Checking the Distribution): convert subheadings to subsections. * doc/local.mk: also mention autoconf vs. automake approaches here, and point to the manual. (checklinkx): en passant, remove unused checklinkx exclude.
352d5f6f 2023-12-22 15:52:26 maint: sync autoconf Channels.pm and ChannelsDefs.pm. Patch from https://bugs.gnu.org/67971. The changes address <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?110872>, about m4_warn code/documentation consistency. It should be impossible to reach report_bad_channel from code in Automake. * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (msg): If the channel argument is invalid, don't crash; report the mistake and use the `syntax' channel. (report_bad_channel): New function for reporting invalid channels. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (usage): Clarify that the list of warning categories is exhaustive, and that ``all'', ``none'', ``no-CATEGORY'', and ``error'' are not warning categories.
3cc3e282 2023-12-21 18:19:36 maint: tweak announcement text again. * maintainer/maint.mk (announcement): "(instead of replying to this mail),"
