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.

Stefano Lattarini bd34a47c 2012-01-21T11:33:44 multilib: move to contrib This follows up on commit v1.11-665-gc5df21e of 2012-01-17, "multilib: deprecate, will be moved to contrib". See also: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2012-01/msg00109.html> * NEWS: Update. * automake.in ($seen_multilib): Remove. (scan_autoconf_traces): Don't trace 'AM_ENABLE_MULTILIB', and don't handle it anymore. (handle_multilib): Remove. (generate_makefile): Don't call it anymore. * doc/automake.texi: Remove documentation about multilib support, related macros, and helper files. * m4/multi.m4: Delete. * m4/Makefile.am (dist_automake_ac_DATA): Remove it. * lib/am/multilib.am: Delete. * lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Remove it. * contrib/multilib/multilib.am: New file, adapted from extracts of a Makefile.in generated with automake multilib support. We did this instead of moving and editing 'lib/am/multilib.am' because it allows us to license this file with a liberal license that will permit users to copy-and-paste it in non-GPLed Makefile.am files too). * lib/symlink-tree, lib/config-ml.in: Move ... * contrib/multilib: ... in here. * lib/Makefile.am (dist_script_DATA, dist_pkgvdata_DATA): Update. * contrib/multilib/README: New file. * contrib/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add the files created or moved in 'contrib/multlib'. * tests/multilib.test: Update and enhance a little. * tests/help-multilib.test: Likewise.
Stefano Lattarini c5df21e8 2012-01-17T19:48:06 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.
