test: force Autoconf config.site to /dev/null.
From https://bugs.gnu.org/76622 (automake-patches).
* t/ax/test-defs.in: Set `CONFIG_SITE' to `/dev/null' to avoid
the local system's Autoconf site defaults from breaking the test
environment. Original report from Nelson Beebe, 26 Feb 2025.

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.

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.

automake: again revise file mtime resolution support.
This patch is from https://bugs.gnu.org/67670.
In order for the Automake testsuite to be able to use sub-second
delays to control whether certain files are considered newer
than others, five(!) separate pieces of software all need to
cooperate: automake itself, autoconf's internal `autom4te'
utility, the Perl interpreter and its libraries, the sleep(1)
shell utility, and finally the filesystem hosting the build
directory. The existing tests for this are a combination of
inadequate and incorrect. This patch, in conjunction with a
patch just committed to Autoconf trunk,
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=39d96e6fff7ceae63b823872602caf4d255a38c8
should make everything much more robust, as follows:
- _AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION is completely rewritten.
It no longer looks for autom4te at all, because this macro is
invoked unconditionally from AM_INIT, so *every* project that
uses Automake would get this test that's only relevant to
Automake's own testsuite. Also, it tries sleeping for as little
as one millisecond (smaller delays consistently get rounded up
to 1ms on my computer and I expect that's universal), it should
accurately detect FAT's two-second resolution now, and it should
not be tripped up anymore by running at precisely the moment
that will make a 0.1s sleep cross a 1s boundary (this may sound
unlikely but it used to cause a couple of test failures *every
time* I ran the automake testsuite on a network filesystem that
only supported 1s resolution).
- In support of the above, the test for working ls -t moved from
AM_SANITY_CHECK to _AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION. This
allowed me to simplify the test for $srcdir/configure being
older than a freshly created file.
- If automake is capable of reading high-resolution file
modification timestamps from the operating system, it prints
`Features: subsecond-mtime' as the second line of --version
output. (We can't just assume this works for sufficiently new
automake, because it depends on whether the Perl interpreter
provides this capability, and that's not a simple question of
which version of Perl you have, either.)
- The Autoconf patch mentioned above adds the same annotation to the
output of autom4te --version.
- Finally, t/ax/test-defs.in looks for the
`Features: subsecond-mtime' string from both automake and
autom4te and resets the sleep time to one second if it's not
there. There might be a better place to put this, somewhere
it'll execute every time the *overall testsuite* is invoked
rather than once for each test, but I couldn't find one.
Tested on x86-64-linux with development automake and development
autoconf.

- https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=64756
* m4/sanity.m4 (_AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION): Rewrite for
greater reliability. Don't probe autom4te at all here.
Check for working ls -t here.
(AM_SANITY_CHECK): Do not cache the result.
Do not check for working `ls -t' here.
Disentangle control flow in the loop probing the relative ages of
build and source directory.
* lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Sync from autoconf.
* bin/automake.in (version): Include `Features: subsecond-mtime'
in the output if $Automake::FileUtils::subsecond_mtime is true.
* configure.ac: Rename the substitution variable MODIFICATION_DELAY
to MTIME_RESOLUTION.
* t/ax/test-defs.in: Require both $AUTOMAKE and $AUTOM4TE to report
support for high-resolution timestamps before setting $sleep to
delay for less than one second.
* NEWS: Update info.

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.
