Karl Berry ec906293 2025-05-27T08:35:33 maint: more verbose git-tag-release. * maintainer/maint.mk (git-tag-release): always show command being run.
Karl Berry 3f4f7108 2025-05-26T10:31:51 maint: more 1.18 preparations. * HACKING: it's the distcheck results that get distributed; tags. * maintainer/maint.mk (git-tag-release, git-upload-release): show commands that are being run.
Karl Berry 252023ff 2025-05-23T08:54:17 maint: secondary updates from make fetch. * maintainer/maint.mk (git-sv-host): switch to cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit, since https://git.savannah.gnu.org has become unreliable, due to AI crawler bombardment. (SV_GIT_CF, SV_GIT_GL): update. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers-public/2025-05/msg00040.html * lib/INSTALL: update with make fetch. * lib/gendocs.sh: likewise.
Karl Berry 1349c729 2025-02-25T14:39:11 maint: doc and maintainer-check in preparation for 1.17.90. * HACKING: mention thanks to individuals. * NEWS: update for 1.17.90. * configure.ac (AC_INIT): now 1.17.90. * m4/amversion.m4 (AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): 1.17.90 (auto-update). * maintainer/syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_command_subst): allow whitespace before # shell comment line. (sc_tests_plain_sleep): emphasize using $sleep without a number; only replace sleep 1 or sleep 2; longer than that would be fine. * t/tap-stderr-prefix.tap: use $sleep instead of sleep 1.
Paul Eggert 61075eab 2025-01-01T14:31:02 maint: make update-copyright
Karl Berry 9719ecd7 2024-07-08T15:04:48 automake: info about Automake and Libtool being in different prefixes. In response to https://bugs.gnu.org/71847. * doc/automake.texi (Libtool library used but LIBTOOL is undefined): new node. Tweak aclocal section. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): refer to the new node in the message for LT_INIT. * maintainer/maint.mk (announcement) <AO>: new fn; use it to output a link to the new node for test releases only. * HACKING: mention M-x texinfo-master-menu, et al. * doc/amhello/README: mention that the package is named amhello.
Karl Berry 7e768ee0 2024-06-20T10:14:06 maint: wording tweaks for announcement. * NEWS: Automake 2.0 may not happen. * maintainer/maint.mk (announcement): missed newline.
Paul Eggert 1d35638b 2024-06-07T08:41:45 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.
Karl Berry 2e3b7da5 2024-06-02T10:47:20 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.
Karl Berry 788615aa 2024-05-31T08:55:10 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 $(...).
Karl Berry 05856fd6 2024-01-27T10:59:15 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.
Paul Eggert b80b5c47 2024-01-01T11:29:06 maint: make update-copyright
Jim Meyering b79e21c5 2023-12-27T07:48:17 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.
Karl Berry 3cc3e282 2023-12-21T18:19:36 maint: tweak announcement text again. * maintainer/maint.mk (announcement): "(instead of replying to this mail),"
Karl Berry 80b72e67 2023-12-18T14:20:55 maint: announcement text tweaks. * HACKING: mention DEVEL_SNAPSHOT=1 for us. * NEWS: tweak text. * maintainer/maint.mk (announcement): tweak text, ls -l ./announcement as a clue as to where the result is.

Karl Berry 92fcf10f 2022-10-01T14:59:51 maintcheck: placate maintainer-check and grep 3.8. * maintainer/syntax-checks.mk (sc_rm_minus_f): no \ before - (diagnosed by grep 3.8). * t/comment12.sh: use $(...) instead of `...`. * t/comments-escaped-in-var.sh: use AUTOMAKE_fails and grep for expected warning message. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): add t/py-compile-files.sh. * t/subdir-add2-pr46.sh (.NOTPARALLEL): add; showed up with parallelized internal make. Seems unreproducible.
Mike Frysinger c54a2154 2022-01-31T02:30:11 maint: include versioned manual in update When publishing the updated manual, include the versioned copy too, and have their index.html link to the full version index. * maintainer/maint.mk: Copy manual to manual/$(VERSION)/, and insert index-full.html link into index.html.
Mike Frysinger 1c03d045 2022-01-28T06:59:25 maint: only sync the manual subdir This code only updates files under manual/, so no need to checkout the entire site first. * maintainer/maint.mk: Only checkout $(PACKAGE)/manual tree.
Zack Weinberg 8813fac0 2022-01-21T14:57:30 build: fix ChangeLog generation in external build directory When gitlog-to-changelog is run in a build directory that is neither the same as, nor a subdirectory of, the source directory, it needs a --srcdir option or it will fail to generate the changelog. For instance $ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/automake.git … $ (cd automake && ./bootstrap) $ mkdir b-automake $ cd b-automake $ ../automake/configure … $ make dist … GEN ChangeLog gitlog-to-changelog:../s-automake/.git-log-fix: unused entry: 22729165f6bb902daeb8a4d8e7cb06982390f327 gitlog-to-changelog:../s-automake/.git-log-fix: unused entry: 3b369e6bbe0fb6d7359398935706c87dd9375cb6 make[2]: *** [../automake/maintainer/maint.mk:48: ChangeLog] Error 1 * maintainer/maint.mk (gitlog_to_changelog_options): Add --srcdir option.

meyering 15641c2f 2021-07-11T19:40:06 maint: avoid syntax-check failures * maintainer/syntax-checks.mk (toupper): Tighten the regexp to avoid a new false-match in t/python-prefix.sh. * t/instmany-python.sh: Use run_make in place of some $MAKE uses. * t/python-prefix.sh: Likewise. * t/python-vars.sh: Likewise.

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.

Mathieu Lirzin 574b20e5 2017-07-08T20:18:45 build: Inline perl prototypes in sources Prototypes allows us to avoid using the '&foo' invocation form when invoking a subroutine before its definition. Previously those prototypes were generated to prevent them from falling out-of-sync with actual definitions. Now we provide a 'check-perl-protos' lint script to ensure that this is not the case. This has the same benefits as generating prototypes while simplifying the bootstrap/build process. * bin/gen-perl-protos: Remove. * bin/Makefile.inc: Adapt. * bootstrap: Likewise. * bin/aclocal.in: Inline prototypes. * bin/automake.in: Likewise. * maintainer/check-perl-protos: New lint script. * maintainer/syntax-checks.mk (sc_perl_protos): New target. (syntax_check_rules): Add it.
