* Prefer https: URLsPaul Eggert2017-09-1922-22/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* automake: account for perl hash order randomizationStefano Lattarini2013-10-311-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Try to explicitly order the keys of some perl hashes when looping on them to do sanity/correctness checks and possibly display warning messages; this should ensure a more reproducible output. Not really a big deal, but I prefer to keep the order of such output reproducible if possible. Issue revealed by spurious testsuite failures with perl 5.18, as reported in automake bug#14891. See also: <http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl-5.18.0/pod/perldelta.pod#Hash_randomization> <http://onionstand.blogspot.ie/2012/12/are-you-relying-on-hash-keys-being.html> * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (variables): Explicitly order the values of the returned Automake::Variable instances.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change fixes automake bug#14560: when two or more user-defined suffix rules were present in a single Makefile.am, automake would needlessly include definition of some make variables related to C compilation in the generated Makefile.in. * automake.in (handle_languages): Fix logic to decide whether or not to include definitions of C compilation related variables in the generated Makefile.in: instead of doing so when two or more user-defined suffix rules are seen (which is a completely bogus criterion), do so when two or more compiled languages are used. * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (suffix_rules_count): Remove as no longer used.

With the current system, it means if you change your perl config (build perl w/threads, build automake, build perl w/out threads), or deploy a compiled automake package on a different system (build had threads, but deployed system does not), you get errors when trying to run automake.

* | texi: info files can be generated in the builddirStefano Lattarini2013-01-011-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | User can now ask info files to be built in the $(builddir), rather than the $(srcdir), by specifying the Automake option 'info-in-builddir'. This feature was requested by the developers of GCC, GDB, GNU binutils and the GNU bfd library. See the extensive discussion about automake bug#11034 for more details. OK, to be honest, having '.info' files built in the builddir was *already* possible, but only using ugly and undocumented hacks involving definition of the CLEANFILES and/or DISTCLEANFILES. For example, the binutils project did something like this in the relevant 'Makefile.am': # Automake 1.9 will only build info files in the objdir if they are # mentioned in DISTCLEANFILES. It doesn't have to be unconditional, # though, so we use a bogus condition. if GENINSRC_NEVER DISTCLEANFILES = binutils.info endif See also the extensive discussion about automake bug#11034; in particular, the following messages: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11034#65> <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11034#80> <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11034#86> <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11034#101> * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_is_valid_easy_option): Recognize the new 'info-in-builddir' option. * automake.in (handle_texinfo_helper): If that option is set, initialize '$insrc' to '0', so that info files will be generated in the builddir.

| * maint: deprecate 'configure.in' as autoconf inputStefano Lattarini2012-06-011-9/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It has been years since that has been deprecated in the documentation, in favour of 'configure.ac': Previous versions of Autoconf promoted the name configure.in, which is somewhat ambiguous (the tool needed to process this file is not described by its extension), and introduces a slight confusion with config.h.in and so on (for which '.in' means "to be processed by configure"). Using configure.ac is now preferred. It's now time to start giving runtime warning about the use of 'configure.in', so that support for it can be removed in future versions of autoconf/automake. See also, in the Autoconf repository, commit 'v2.69-4-g560f16b' of 2012-05-23, "general: deprecate 'configure.in' as autoconf input". * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Issue a warning in the 'obsolete' category if 'configure.in' is detected. Since this module is synced from Automake, this change is to be backported there (and will be soon). * t/help.sh: Adjust. * t/configure.sh: Adjust and enhance.

| * | silent rules: support for them is always active nowStefano Lattarini2012-05-011-4/+1
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this change, support for silent rules was optional and activated only if the 'silent-rules' option was specified. The rationale behind that behaviour was that the silent-rules machinery originally only worked with make implementations supporting nested variables expansions, which isn't (or wasn't) a POSIX-specified features; so that packages wanting to be "extra-portable" couldn't use the silent-rules machinery at all. But after Paul Eggert's commit 'v1.11-598-g8493499' of 25-12-2011, "silent-rules: fallback for makes without nested vars" (motivated by automake bugs #9928 and #10237), Makefiles generated when the 'silent-rules' option is enabled can work also with those make implementations that don't support nested variables expansion (albeit the configure-time selected verbosity cannot be overridden at make runtime in such case). In light of that, and since silent rules are disabled by default even when the 'silent-rules' option is given (unless the developer explicitly makes them enabled by default be calling "AM_SILENT_RULES([yes])" in configure.ac), we can now have the support for silent rules always enabled. The 'silent-rules' option will thus become a no-op, but will reaming a valid option for the time being, for better backward-compatibility. A collateral effect of this change is that the use of the 'silent-rules' option will not anymore automatically disable the warnings in the 'portability-recursive' category. The present change is basically a backport of the Automake-NG commit 'v1.11d-75-g61ca923' of 19-04-2012, "[ng] silent rules: support for them is always active now". Stemmed by this thread on the Automake-NG list: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-ng/2012-04/msg00027.html> * automake.in: Enable silent-rules machinery unconditionally. Reword some comments.
