From 0fcbd7c19e18265a4d2ca9f2158ec98daf4d67a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Blake Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2012 10:40:39 -0600 Subject: missing: --run is supported again (as a no-op) for use by older automake Commit v1.12.1-87-ga22717d of 2012-06-21 ("missing: do not touch timestamps; only warn for out-of-date files") has removed the '--run' option, since our new preferred calling conventions now imply it; but if a newer 'missing' is mixed with an already built project that used an older Automake version (this happened in practice for GNU m4; see: ), then the 'Makefile' in that project will fail due to passing the '--run' option when trying to bring the project up-to-date. * lib/missing: Parse and ignore '--run'.
