e21d46fd 2020-10-27 14:33:46 python: determine Python (3.10) version number correctly. This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/44239 (and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1889732). * m4/python.m4: use print('%u.%u' % sys.version_info[:2]) for the version number instead of merely sys.version[:3], so the numbers are treated as numbers. * t/python-vars.sh (PYTHON_VERSION): Likewise. * doc/automake.texi: Document it. * NEWS: mention it. (Minor tweaks from Karl Berry.)
310edf02 2020-10-23 21:13:09 doc: correct "moved in", to "moved to" * NEWS: Correct wording. * contrib/README: Likewise. * doc/automake.texi: Likewise.
e30c0962 2020-10-15 13:11:11 contrib/README: fix and clarify the English
f832992d 2020-10-21 23:31:46 Improve Vala compiler detection: use API version, not compiler version * m4/vala.m4: check `valac --api-version', not `valac --version'. * doc/automake.texi: update documentation.
9f83372b 2020-10-07 09:19:06 Use complete configure.ac’s in testsuite. Autoconf 2.70 will issue warnings if it encounters a configure.ac that doesn’t call both AC_INIT and AC_OUTPUT. Automake already issues warnings if it encounters a configure.ac that uses an AM_ macro but doesn’t call AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE or AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile]). In two places, the testsuite was tripping these warnings, leading to spurious failures with Autoconf 2.70 betas. * t/aminit-moreargs-deprecation.sh: Add AC_OUTPUT to test configure.ac. * t/mkdirp-deprecation.sh: Use a complete test configure.ac, not a stub containing only a use of AM_PROG_MKDIR_P.
dbc1c9e7 2020-10-06 18:16:14 automake: install-exec did not depend on $(BUILT_SOURCES). This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/43683. * lib/am/install.am (install-exec): %maybe_BUILT_SOURCES% dependency, twice. Basic patch from madmurphy (tiny change), message#8. (.MAKE) [maybe_BUILT_SOURCES]: depend on install-exec. * NEWS: mention it. * doc/automake.texi (Sources): mention this (also that make dist depends on $(BUILT_SOURCES)). * t/built-sources-install-exec.sh: new test. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): add it. * t/built-sources-install.sh: typo. * t/built-sources-check.sh: typo.
e0d69cc7 2020-09-21 14:16:33 Update documentation of warnings options and strictness levels. The warning categories ‘cross’ and ‘portability-recursive’ were not mentioned in the manual. Also clarify the relationship between warnings categories and strictness levels, and streamline the description of strictness levels by merging the “Gnits” section into the “Strictness” section. * doc/automake.texi (Gnits, Strictness): Combine these sections. Minor revisions to explanation of strictness levels. (automake Invocation): Add documentation of all the warnings categories that have been added since the last time this section was updated. Minor clarifications.
bd09c76a 2020-09-18 13:40:20 Use WARNINGS=none to suppress warnings from autom4te runs. aclocal uses autom4te in trace mode to scan configure.ac for macros whose definition is not yet available. It has a kludge to prevent this from producing spurious warnings, but a cleaner, fully backward compatible, way to get the same effect is to set WARNINGS=none in the environment and not pass down any -W options. (This is better than passing -Wnone on the command line because it automatically inherits to any subprocesses started by autom4te.) Perl’s ‘local’ feature can be used to make the enviironment variable setting temporary, reverting to the previous value when we exit the function. automake also runs autom4te (technically autoconf) in trace mode; warnings from this invocation will not be *spurious*, but in the common case where the person running automake is going to run autoconf next, they will be duplicated. Therefore, make the same change to automake. * bin/aclocal.in (trace_used_macros) * bin/automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Use “local $ENV{WARNINGS}='none'” to suppress warnings from autom4te.
22089fa6 2020-09-13 11:33:05 New utility function Automake::ChannelDefs::merge_WARNINGS. This function merges a list of warnings categories into the environment variable WARNINGS, returning a new value to set it to. The intended use is in code of the form { local $ENV{WARNINGS} = merge_WARNINGS ("this", "that"); # run a command here with WARNINGS=this,that,etc } This is not actually used in automake, but will be in autoconf. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (merge_WARNINGS): New function.
626727a8 2020-09-12 09:51:07 t/python-virtualenv.sh: Skip when versions don’t match On some operating systems ‘python’ is Python 2.x but ‘virtualenv -ppython’ will create a virtualenv that uses Python 3.x. This is a bug, but it’s not *automake’s* bug, and should not cause t/python-virtualenv.sh to fail. Skip the test, instead of failing it, when the inner=outer version check fails. (This also has nothing to do with the main goal of this patchset, it just annoyed me while I was testing.) * t/python-virtualenv.sh: Skip test, rather than failing it, when $py_version_pre != $py_version_post.
74673d1c 2020-09-11 18:03:19 Consistently use ‘our’ instead of ‘use vars’. At file scope of a file containing at most one ‘package’ declaration, ‘use vars’ is exactly equivalent to ‘our’, and the latter is preferred starting with Perl 5.6.0, which happens to be the oldest version we support. (This change has nothing to do with the previous two, but I want to make the same change in Autoconf and that means doing it here for all the files synced from Automake.) (I don’t know why, but this change exposed a latent bug in FileUtils.pm where the last pod block in the file didn’t have a ‘=cut’ delimiter, so the code after it was considered documentation, causing ‘require FileUtils’ to fail.) * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm * lib/Automake/Channels.pm * lib/Automake/Condition.pm * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm * lib/Automake/General.pm * lib/Automake/Getopt.pm * lib/Automake/Options.pm * lib/Automake/Rule.pm * lib/Automake/RuleDef.pm * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm * lib/Automake/Variable.pm * lib/Automake/Wrap.pm * lib/Automake/XFile.pm: Replace all uses of ‘use vars’ with ‘our’. * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Add missing ‘=cut’ to a pod block near the end of the file.
9ae8a896 2020-09-11 16:17:41 Consistently process -W(no-)error after all other warning options. automake and aclocal were processing ‘-W(no-)error’ whenever it appeared on the command line, which means that ‘-Werror,something-strange’ would issue a hard error, but ‘-Wsomething-strange,error’ would only issue a warning. It is not desirable for warnings about unknown warning categories ever to be treated as a hard error; that leads to problems for driver scripts like autoreconf, which would like to pass whatever -W options it got on its own command line down to all the tools and not worry about which tools understand which warning categories. Also, this sort of order dependence is confusing for humans. Change parse_warnings to take just one option, the _complete_ list of warning categories seen on the command line, and to process -Werror / -Wno-error after processing all other warnings options. Thus, unknown warnings categories will always just be a plain warning. This does mean aclocal has to stop using parse_warnings as a Getopt::Long callback, but that’s not a big deal. Similarly, change parse_WARNINGS to record whether ‘error’ appeared in the environment variable, but not activate warnings-are-errors mode itself. parse_warnings picks up the record and honors it, unless it’s overridden by the command line. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm ($werror): New package global (not exported). (parse_WARNINGS): Do not call switch_warning for ‘error’ / ‘no-error’; just toggle the value of $werror. (parse_warnings): Do not call switch_warning immediately for ‘error’ / ‘no-error’; toggle $werror instead. Call switch_warning ‘error’ at the very end if $werror is true. Remove unused $OPTION argument. * bin/automake.in: parse_warnings now takes only one argument. * bin/aclocal.in: Call parse_warnings after parse_options instead of using it as a parse_options callback.
ab9ef6cf 2020-09-11 14:23:10 Sync ChannelDefs.pm from autoconf. ChannelDefs.pm *ought* to be kept in sync between automake and autoconf, because it defines the set of valid -W options, and autoreconf assumes that it can pass arbitrary -W options to all of the tools it invokes. However, it isn’t covered by either project’s ‘make fetch’ and it hasn’t actually *been* in sync for more than 17 years. This patch manually brings over all of the changes made on the autoconf side. Most importantly, there is a new warnings channel ‘cross’, for warnings related to cross-compilation. Also, the ‘usage’ function now *returns* the text to be put into a usage message, instead of printing it itself. (This is necessary on autoconf’s side.) * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Sync from autoconf. (cross): New warnings channel. (portability-recursive): Document. (usage): Now returns the text to be printed, instead of printing it. (parse_warnings): Second argument may now be a list.
74a413ff 2020-09-05 18:12:48 automake: be robust against directories containing (). This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/14196. * m4/missing.m4 (AM_MISSING_HAS_RUN): always quote the invocation (not just if $am_aux_dir contains space or tab), in case $am_aux_dir contains () or other metachars not rejected by AM_SANITY_CHECK; quoting with '...' suggested by Jim Meyering. * t/man6.sh (HELP2MAN): adjust grep since missing value is quoted now. * t/am-missing-prog.sh: likewise.

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.

40415b21 2020-01-18 18:06:23 tests: use find+rm, not perl, to remove temporary directories. This change fixes automake bug#39078: https://debbugs.gnu.org/39078 * t/ax/test-lib.sh (rm_rf_): run chmod -R u+rwx and rm -rf, instead of calling our t/ax/deltree.pl script. This reverses the change of 2013-05-16. It made sense to write and use deltree at that point, but unfortunately as of perl-5.28.0 (File::Path.pm version 2.15), rmtree no longer removes a tree with unreadable subdirectories, such as we (intentionally) have. So we might as well go back to rm -rf. The unconditional recursive chmod instead of the previously-used more complex find command will hopefully prove portable. See the bug report for more details. Our deltree.pl is not used for anything else, but nevertheless leaving it in our source tree for now, for ease of reversion and comparison.

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.

006c4dfe 2018-02-04 00:09:31 python: Avoid exceeding command-line length limit With Python implementations following PEP-3174, a large number of files are installed in the ‘__pycache__’ directory. As a consequence “t/instmany-python.sh” test was failing due to the ‘uninstall-pythonPYTHON’ target deleting installed files in a single ‘rm’ command. Doing that in multiple steps avoids exceeding the command-line length limit. This fixes bug#30335. * lib/am/python.am (uninstall-%DIR%PYTHON): For byte-compiled files installed in '__pycache__' directory, uninstall them by batch of 40. [?FIRST?] (am__pep3147_tweak): Adapt.
