- AM_PATH_PYTHON will, after checking "python", prefer any Python 3
version (latest versions checked first) over any Python 2
version. If a specific version of Python 2 is still needed, the
$PYTHON variable should be set beforehand.
- AM_PATH_PYTHON will also search for Python versions 3.20 through 3.10.
It previously searched for 3.9 through 3.0.
- RANLIB may be overridden on a per-target basis.
- AM_TEXI2FLAGS may be defined to pass extra flags to TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF.
- New option "posix" to emit the special target .POSIX for make.
- Systems with non-POSIX "rm -f" behavior are now supported, and the
prior intent to drop support for them has been reversed.
The ACCEPT_INFERIOR_RM_PROGRAM setting no longer exists.
- Variables using escaped \# will trigger portability warnings, but be
retained when appended. GNU Make & BSD Makes are known to support it.
- GNU Make's default pattern rules are disabled, for speed and debugging.
(.SUFFIXES was already cleared.)
- For Texinfo documents, if a .texi.in file exists, but no .texi, the
.texi.in will be read. Texinfo source files need not be present at
all, and if present, need not contain @setfilename. Then the file name
as given in the Makefile.am will be used. If @setfilename is present,
it should be the basename of the Texinfo file, extended with .info.
- aclocal has a new option --aclocal-path to override $ACLOCAL_PATH.
- The missing script also supports autoreconf, autogen, and perl.
- test-suite.log now contains basic system information, and the
console message about bug reporting on failure has a bit more detail.
- When using the (default) "parallel" test driver, you can now omit the
output of skipped tests from test-suite.log by defining the
variable IGNORE_SKIPPED_LOGS to a non-empty value. (bug#71422)

- update to 1.16.5:
- PYTHON_PREFIX and PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX are now set according to
Python's sys.* values only if the new configure option
--with-python-sys-prefix is specified. Otherwise, GNU default values
are used, as in the past. (The change in 1.16.3 was too incompatible.)
- consistently depend on install-libLTLIBRARIES.
- use const for yyerror declaration in bison/yacc tests.
- Common top-level files can be provided as .md; the non-md version is
used if both are present:
AUTHORS ChangeLog INSTALL NEWS README README-alpha THANKS
- CTAGS, ETAGS, SCOPE variables can be set via configure.
- Silent make output for custom link commands.
- New option "no-dist-built-sources" skips generating $(BUILT_SOURCES)
before building the tarball as part of "make dist", that is,
omits the dependency of $(distdir): $(BUILT_SOURCES).
- automake output more reproducible.
- test-driver less likely to clash with tests writing to the same file.
- DejaGnu tests always use the directory name, testsuite/, for
compatibility with the newer dejagnu-1.6.3 and with prior versions.
- config.sub and config.guess updates include restoration of `...`
for maximum portability.

- add fix-testsuite-failures-with-autoconf270.patch to fix compatibility
with autoconf 2.70
- update to 1.16.3:
- In the testsuite summary, the "for $(PACKAGE_STRING)" suffix
can be overridden with the AM_TESTSUITE_SUMMARY_HEADER variable.
- Python 3.10 version number no longer considered to be 3.1.
- Broken links in manual fixed or removed, and new script
contrib/checklinkx (a small modification of W3C checklink) added,
with accompany target checklinkx to recheck urls.
- install-exec target depends on $(BUILT_SOURCES).
- valac argument matching more precise, to avoid garbage in DIST_COMMON.
- Support for Vala in VPATH builds fixed so that both freshly-generated and
distributed C files work, and operation is more reliable with or without
an installed valac.
- Dejagnu doesn't break on directories containing spaces.
- new variable AM_DISTCHECK_DVI_TARGET, to allow overriding the
"make dvi" that is done as part of distcheck.
- install-sh tweaks:
. new option -p to preserve mtime, i.e., invoke cp -p.
. new option -S SUFFIX to attempt backup files using SUFFIX.
. no longer unconditionally uses -f when rm is overridden by RMPROG.
. does not chown existing directories.
- Removed function up_to_date_p in lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm.
We believe this function is completely unused.
- Support for in-tree Vala libraries improved.
- rename automake-SuSE.patch to automake-suse-vendor.patch and refresh
- remove automake-testsuite-vala-gcc10.patch (upstream)

- Changed automake-SuSE.patch: updated for new version
- Update to 1.16.2. Changes since 1.16.1:
* New features added
- add zstd support and the automake option, dist-zstd.
- support for Python 3: py-compile now supports both Python 3
and Python 2; tests do not require .pyo files, and uninstall
deletes __pycache__ correctly (automake bug #32088).
* Miscellaneous changes
- automake no longer requires a @setfilename in each .texi file
* Bugs fixed
- When cleaning the compiled python files, '\n' is not used anymore in the
substitution text of 'sed' transformations. This is done to preserve
compatibility with the 'sed' implementation provided by macOS which
considers '\n' as the 'n' character instead of a newline.
(automake bug#31222)
- For make tags, lisp_LISP is followed by the necessary space when
used with CONFIG_HEADERS.
(automake bug#38139)
- The automake test txinfo-vtexi4.sh no longer fails when localtime
and UTC cross a day boundary.
- Emacsen older than version 25, which require use of
byte-compile-dest-file, are supported again.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/818872
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools:building/automake?expand=0&rev=79
- 'install-sh' now ensures that nobody can cross privilege boundaries by
pre-creating symlink on the directory inside "/tmp".
- 'automake' does not depend on the 'none' subroutine of the List::Util
module anymore to support older Perl version. (automake bug#30631)
- A regression in AM_PYTHON_PATH causing the rejection of non literal
minimum version parameter hasn't been fixed. (automake bug#30616)
* Miscellaneous changes
- When subdir-objects is in effect, Automake will now construct
shorter object file names when no programs and libraries name
clashes are encountered. This should make the discouraged use of
'foo_SHORTNAME' unnecessary in many cases.
* Bugs fixed:
- Automatic dependency tracking has been fixed to work also when the
'subdir-object' option is used and some 'foo_SOURCES' definition
contains unexpanded references to make variables, as in, e.g.:
a_src = sources/libs/aaa
b_src = sources/bbb
foo_SOURCES = $(a_src)/bar.c $(b_src)/baz.c
With such a setup, the created makefile fragment containing dependency
tracking information will be correctly placed under the directories
named 'sources/libs/aaa/.deps' and 'sources/bbb/.deps', rather than
mistakenly under directories named (literally!) '$(src_a)/.deps' and
'$(src_b)/.deps' (this was the first part of automake bug#13928).
Notice that in order to fix this bug we had to slightly change the
semantics of how config.status bootstraps the makefile fragments
required for the dependency tracking to work: rather than attempting
to parse the Makefiles via grep and sed trickeries only, we actually
invoke 'make' on a slightly preprocessed version of those Makefiles,
using a private target that is only meant to bootstrap the required
makefile fragments.
