init: warn against obsolete usage of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
Support for the two- and three-arguments invocation forms of the
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE macro, as in:
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE($PACKAGE, $VERSION)
or:
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE($PACKAGE, $VERSION, NODEFINE)
will be removed in the next major Automake release (1.13).
Such usages have already been deprecated in the documentation
starting from commit v1.11-2015-ge99690a of 23-02-2012 "docs,
news: document planned removal of obsolete macros and features".
We now start giving runtime warnings as well (in the 'obsolete'
category).
* NEWS: Update.
* m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Report the two- and three-arguments
form invocation.
* automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Likewise.
* doc/automake.texi: Minor adjustments. Add an @anchor to the
location where it's described how to modernize outdated invocation
of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, so that it can be referenced from automake
warning/error messages.

docs: remove obsolete references to Autoconf 2.13
Autoconf 2.13 is definitely obsolete today, so giving hints or caveats
about it in the Automake documentation is not only obsolescent, but
also counter-productive, as it suggests that autoconf 2.13 is still
relevant.
* doc/automake.texi: Adjust. Related rewordings. Since we are at it,
prefer using a more modern autoconf version number (2.68 instead of 2.57)
in an example showing how to correctly use 'AC_PREREQ' in third-party

maint: remove most recursion in automake's own build system
Recursive make-based build systems tend to be slower, more fragile
and less faithful than "flat" ones. See Peter Miller's article
"Recursive Make Considered Harmful" for more a more in-depth
discussion:
<http://miller.emu.id.au/pmiller/books/rmch/>
While in the case of automake this isn't a big problem (given the
small size of its build systems), it still creates occasional
glitches and annoyances.
With this change, the use of recursion in Automake's own build
system is eliminated *but for the testsuite*. Converting that
is a little more tricky, and better left for a later change (or
series of changes).
See also commit v1.11-769-gfeeb7f6 of 28-03-2012.
* contrib/Makefile.am, lib/Makefile.am, m4/Makefile.am,

Support for "Cygnus-style" trees (so far enabled by the 'cygnus'

Better to start warning about this in the manual.

automake: new option 'serial-tests'
Currently, automake offers a 'parallel-tests' option to enable the
use of the parallel testsuite harness in the generated Makefiles,
but no option to explicitly state the intention of using the older
serial testsuite driver (which is currently the default).
This makes the parallel test harness seems like a second-class
citizen (while actually it should be the other way around); more
importantly, it will prevent us from making the parallel harness
be the default one in future automake versions, since the users
of the serial harness would then have no way to instruct automake
to continue using it.
We solve all of this by introducing a new 'serial-tests' option.
* lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Recognize the
new option, and related minor refactoring.
* tests/serial-tests.test: New test.
* tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.

The 'cscope' functionality does not properly handle VPATH rewrites;

then.

multilib: deprecate, will be moved to contrib
As of 2012-01-17, according to Google codesarch, almost no active
package is using the 'multilib' feature offered by automake.
The only major exception seems to be GCC... But on a closer look,
it become clear that GCC basically carries its own version of
multilib support. In fact, Automake syncs its 'config-ml.in' and
'symlink-tree' scripts from GCC; and the GCC repository contains a
version of the 'multi.m4' file that is *more* updated than the one
in the automake repository (the former having being modified the
last time in 2008, the latter only in 2006).
The 'multilib' feature was anyway hardly documented at all, only
being briefly cited in the manual as an "obscure feature", "still
experimental", that was only for users "familiar with multilibs"
and which "can debug problems they might encounter". We expect
such users to be motivated and knowledgeable enough to make the
minor adjustments required to start using the contrib version of
multilib, if they really need to.
* NEWS (Future backward incompatibility): Update.
* doc/automake.texi: Deprecate multilib support. State that it
will be removed from automake core in the next major release.
* m4/multi.m4 (AM_ENABLE_MULTILIB): Deprecate. If called, now
gives a proper warning in the 'obsolete' category (while still
retaining its former behaviour for the rest).
* tests/multilib.test: Update.
* contrib/multilib/multi.m4: New, verbatim copy of the earlier
version of multi.m4, without the new deprecation warning.
* Makefile.am (fetch): Don't sync the 'config-ml.in' file nor
the 'symlink-tree' script from GCC SVN repository anymore.
(FETCHFILES): Adjust.
(WGET_GCC): Remove, it's not needed anymore.

install: pkglibexec_SCRIPTS is a valid prefix/primary combination
It makes little sense for `libexec_SCRIPTS' to be accepted as valid
while `pkglibexec_SCRIPTS' is not. So fix this inconsistency by
explicitly allowing `pkglibexec_SCRIPTS' as well. It is worth
noting that the inconsistency has been there for a long time,
but only the quite recent commit `v1.11-373-g9ca6326' "Warnings
about primary/prefix mismatch fixed and extended" has made it
noisy enough to be noticed.

progs, libs: implement EXTRA_foo_DEPENDENCIES
Backported from commit `v1.11-377-g6edafbb'.
The feature implemented by that change is quite unobtrusive, so
adding it to a maintenance release is acceptable. Also, there
have been requests from real-world users for this feature since
it has been implemented in master; see automake bug#9320:
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9320>
and this short discussion on the automake list:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2010-11/msg00099.html>
It would be a pity to make such users wait even more (until
Automake 1.12 is out) before they could start using this feature.
Thus we backport it, so that it will appear in the next maintenance
version of automake (1.11.3).

dist: obsolete support for lzma (superseded by xz and lzip)
The lzma utilities are today superseded by the xz utilities; in
fact, the official site at <http://tukaani.org/lzma/> reads:
``LZMA Utils are legacy data compression software with high
compression ratio. LZMA Utils are no longer developed, ...
Users of LZMA Utils should move to XZ Utils.''
and the existing automake manual (as of 1.11.2) already says:
``dist-xz
Generate an 'xz' tar archive of the distribution. xz archives
are frequently smaller than bzip2-compressed archives. The 'xz'
format will soon (early 2009) displace the 'lzma' format''
Also, the `dist-lzma' target still suffers of never-solved bugs,
due to the too-high compression ratio its uses by default, which
might cause an unacceptable memory consumption when one tries to
compress or, worse, decompress the created tarballs; see also:

docs: fix a couple broken anchors
* doc/automake.texi: In previous commit v1.11-605-g5f71f2b (related
to automake bug#8071), we had renamed the chapters about aclocal
and automake invocation, and added anchors to the old names as not
to break hyperlinks to our on-line manual. Unfortunately, these
anchors had been erroneously placed *before* the relevant `@node'
commands, instead that just after, so that they ended up pointing
to the wrong chapters. Fix this. Since we are at it, tweak the
wording of the comments to the anchors to better match that used
in the autoconf manual.

docs: "aclocal --install -I /abs/dir" actually copies files
This change is for automake bug#8407.
In the past, there had been some debate and confusion about
whether "aclocal --install" should copy third-party .m4 files
in the first directory passed to the `-I' option even when
such directory was given as an absolute path, or whether it
was better to do so only for directories specified with a
relative path.
The rationale for this latter behaviour was that, before the
existence of the `ACLOCAL_PATH' variable, the only way (a poor
way, I might add) for a common user to extend the search path
of a system-wide installation of aclocal was to export something
like ACLOCAL="aclocal -I /my/extra/macros" in the environment.
Today, the correct way to proceed is undoubtedly through the
use of ACLOCAL_PATH, so we can settle the question once and for
all, and start verifying the correct behaviour of `-I' with a
new test.
* tests/aclocal-install-absdir.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* doc/automake.texi (aclocal Options): Be more explicit about
this part of `--install' semantics.

docs: fix node names for automake and aclocal invocations
With the older node names, an "info automake" command issued
from the command line would have opened the node about the
invocation of the automake program, rather than the Top node
of the automake documentation. To invoke the Top node, one
had to issue the command "info Automake" instead (note the
different capitalization). This was suboptimal, and certainly
confusing.
With this change, "info automake" will open the Top node of the
automake documentation; to access the nodes about the invocation
of the automake and aclocal program, one has now to issue "info
automake-invocation" and "info aclocal-invocation" respectively.
This change fixes automake bug#8071.
See also commits `v2.61a-22-ge9215d1' and `v2.61a-72-g8c07b48' in
the autoconf git repository, which tackled a similar issue.
* doc/automake.texi (@direntry): Rename nodes `aclocal' and
`automake' to `aclocal-invocation' and `automake-invocation'
respectively.
* NEWS: Update.

silent-rules: fallback for makes without nested vars
This fixes two problems reported for Automake (Bug#9928, Bug#10237)
and is in response to a bug report for building coreutils on HP
NonStop OS (Bug#10234). The problem is that HP NonStop 'make'
treats a line like "AM_V_CC = $(am__v_CC_$(V))" as one that
expands a macro with the funny name am__v_CC_$(V instead of the
desired name am__v_CC_1 or am__v_CC_0, and since the funny macro
is not defined the line is equivalent to "AM_V_CC = )"; this
inserts a stray ")" when $(AM_V_CC) is used, which eventually
causes 'make' to fail.
The basic idea is that instead of generating Makefile.in lines like
"AM_V_CC = $(am__v_CC_$(V))", we generate
"AM_V_CC = $(am__v_CC_@AM_V@)". We then AC_SUBST $(V) for @AM_V@
in the usual case where `make' supports nested variables,
and substitute 1 (or 0) otherwise. Similarly for usages like
$(am__v_CC_$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)).
With this change, make implementations that doesn't grasp nested
variable expansions will still be able to run Makefiles generated
using the silent-rules option. They won't allow the user to
override the make verbosity at runtime through redefinition of
$(V) (as in "make V=0"); but this is still an improvement over not
being able to work at all.
* NEWS: Document this.
* automake.in (define_verbose_var): When defining the variables,

regex: deprecate the obsolete macro AM_WITH_REGEX
This is a backport of commit v1.11-433-g37b0aee.
Today, practically nobody uses the GNU rx library, which, according
to its own website <http://www.gnu.org/software/rx/rx.html>, has
been "decommissioned". Consequently, the automake-provided macro
AM_WITH_REGEX is not used nor required anymore. Deprecate it, so
that it will be possible to safely remove it in the next major
automake version.
* m4/regex.m4 (AM_WITH_REGEX): Give a warning of the class
`obsolete' when this macro is used.
* doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Move description of
`AM_WITH_REGEX' from here ...
(Obsolete Macros): ... to here, and declare it as obsolete
and "to be removed in a future version".
* tests/regex-obsolete.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS: Update.

repo: don't commit generated files in the git repository anymore
It has been quite some time since autoconf and libtool have stopped
committing the generated autotools files in their git repositories,
with no significant ill effects we're aware of. It's true that the
autoconf bootstrap process has now the minor annoyance that a
pre-installed autoconf is required to complete it; but luckily
automake will not have a similar annoyance, since our bootstrap
script take care, through some hoops, to use the very automake and
aclocal versions from the current git checkout to generate the
required aclocal.m4 and Makefile.in files. In fact, this has been
a necessity also in the past, because automake has been known to
use in its own build system new development features that hadn't
been present in any previously released automake distribution.
* aclocal.m4: Delete.
* configure: Likewise.
* Makefile.in: Likewise.
* doc/Makefile.in: Likewise.

dist-xz, dist-bzip2: don't hard-code -9, honor envvar settings
Before the present change, automake-generated `dist-xz' rule used
a hard-coded `xz -9'. That was a problem because on this front,
xz differs from gzip and bzip2. While the latter two don't incur
any run-time decompression penalty for using a higher compression
level, specifying -9 with xz imposes a potentially fatal virtual
memory requirement on any client that wants to decompress your
tar.xz file.
People have complained that a tarball compressed with -9 cannot
be uncompressed in a low-memory environment (wrt-based embedded).
Hence, instead of defaulting to -9, which is useful only for very
large tarballs, it defaults to -e (equivalent to -6e). This
limits the default memory requirements imposed on decompressors,
yet still gives very good compression ratios.
* lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz): Do not hard-code xz's -9: that made
it impossible to override. Actually don't default to -9, either,
since that induced inordinately large virtual memory usage when
merely decompressing. Instead, use its XZ_OPT envvar, defaulting
to -e if not defined. Suggested by Lasse Collin.
(dist, dist-all) [?XZ?]: Likewise
(dist-bzip2): Similarly, do not hard-code -9, but do continue to
use -9 by default. Honor the BZIP2 envvar.
(dist, dist-all) [?BZIP2?]: Likewise
* NEWS: Update.
* doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions): Describe the
newly enabled environment variables.
This is inspired to commit v1.11-389-g6da46f3, with additional
changes to reflect that the xz compression level should default
to -e, not -9.

info: allow user to inhibit creation/update of '${infodir}/dir'
With this change, we allow the user to request the install-info
rules not to update the `${infodir}/dir' file, by exporting the
environment variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR' to the value "no".
This is especially useful to distro packagers, and is a definite
improvement over our previous hack of looking whether the
`install-info' program was the Debian or GNU version -- hack
which had been silently broken with recent versions of debian
install-info BTW (probably since dpkg 1.15.4, 2009-09-06).
This change fixes automake bug#9773. See also Debian Bug#543992.
* lib/am/texinfos.am: Don't look anymore at the output of
`install-info --version' to decide whether to use it to update
the `${infodir}/dir' or not; instead, honour the environment
variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR'.
* tests/install-info-dir.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* tests/defs: Also unset `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR', to avoid unwanted
interferences from the environment.
