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.

# Test that automake works around a bug of Solaris Make. The bug is the
# following. If we have a Makefile containg a file inclusion like this:
# include .//foo.mk
# Solaris make fails with a message like:
# make: ... can't find '/foo.mk': No such file or directory
# make: fatal error ... read of include file '/foo.mk' failed
# (even if the file 'foo.mk' exists). The error disappear by collapsing
# the repeated slash '/' characters into a single one.
#
# See also sister "grepping" test 'subobj11b.sh', and related test
# 'subobj11c.sh'.
