- Update from version 1.16.5 to 1.17
- Update of rootfile
- Changelog
1.17
* New features added
- 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. (bug#53530)
- 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.
(bug#55025, bug#67891)
- 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.
(bug#10828)
- Variables using escaped \# will trigger portability warnings, but be
retained when appended. GNU Make & BSD Makes are known to support it.
(bug#7610)
- GNU Make's default pattern rules are disabled, for speed and debugging.
(.SUFFIXES was already cleared.) (bug#64743)
- 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.
(bug#54063)
- aclocal has a new option --aclocal-path to override $ACLOCAL_PATH.
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2022-01/msg00029.html)
- The missing script also supports autoreconf, autogen, and perl.
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2015-08/msg00000.html)
- test-suite.log now contains basic system information, and the
console message about bug reporting on failure has a bit more detail.
(bug#68746, bug#71421)
- 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)
* Bugs fixed
- Generated file timestamp checks handle filesystems with subsecond
timestamp granularity dynamically, greatly speeding up the sleep
done by AC_OUTPUT when generating config.status (all packages) and
Automake's make check.
However, this subsecond-mtime support requires an autom4te from
Autoconf 2.72 or later (or random test failures and other timing
problems may ensue), as well as a Perl, sleep program, make program,
and filesystem that all support subsecond resolution; otherwise, we
fall back to a two-second granularity, not even testing the (common)
1s case since that would induce a 2s delay for all configure scripts
in all packages on all systems that don't support subsecond mtimes.
When everything is supported, a line "Features: subsecond-mtime" is
now printed by automake --version and autom4te --version.
To override this check and delay, e.g. to use 1 second:
am_cv_filesystem_timestamp_resolution=1
export am_cv_filesystem_timestamp_resolution

and more info in surrounding threads.)
- The default value of $ARFLAGS is now "cr" instead of "cru", to better
support deterministic builds. (bug#20082)
- Automake's make dist now uses -9 instead of --best with gzip,
because Alpine gzip does not support --best. Also, GZIP_ENV is used
only for compression, not decompression, because of the same system.
(bug#68151)
- Dependency files are now empty, instead of "# dummy", for speed.
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2022-05/msg00006.html)
- Compiling Python modules with Python 3.5+ uses multiple optimization
levels. (bug#38043)
- If the Python installation "scheme" is set to posix_local (Debian),
it is reset to either deb_system (if the prefix = /usr), or
posix_prefix (otherwise). (bug#54412, bug#64837)
- As a result of the Python scheme change, the installation directory
for Python files again defaults to "site-packages" under the usual
installation prefix, even on systems (generally Debian-based) that
would normally use the "dist-packages" subdirectory under
/usr/local.
- When compiling Emacs Lisp files, emacs is run with --no-site-file to
disable user config files that might hang or access the terminal;
and -Q is not used, since its support and behavior varies. (bug#58102)
- Emacs Lisp compilations respect silent make output.
- Automake no longer incorrectly warns that the POSIX make variables
$(*D) and the like are non-POSIX. Unfortunately, the make
implementations which do not correctly implement all the POSIX
variables are not detected, but this seems to have little impact
in practice. (bug#9587)
- Pass libtool tags OBJC and OBJCXX for the respective languages.
(bug#67539)
- distcleancheck ignores "silly rename" files (.nfs* .smb* .__afs*)
that can show up on network file systems.
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2022-09/msg00002.html)
- Pass any options given to AM_PROG_LEX on to AC_PROG_LEX.
(bug#65600, bug#65730)
- aclocal: recognize ; as path separator on OS/2 and Windows. (bug#71534)
- Hash iterations with external effects now consistently sort keys.
(bug#25629, bug#46744)
- tests: avoid some declaration conflicts for lex et al. on SunOS.
(bug#34151 and others)
- tests: declare yyparse before use and use (void) parameter lists
instead of (), to placate C23. (bug#71425)
- Typos in code and other doc fixes. (bug#68003, bug#68004, et al.)
* Obsolescence:
- py-compile no longer supports Python 0.x or 1.x versions. Python 2.0,
released in 2000, is currently the minimum required version.

- Update from version 1.16.3 to 1.16.5
- Update of rootfile not required
- Chyangelog
New in 1.16.5:
* Bugs fixed
- 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.
* Distribution
- use const for yyerror declaration in bison/yacc tests.
New in 1.16.4:
* New features added
- The PYTHON_PREFIX and PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX variables are now set from
Python's sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix; use the new configure options
--with-python_prefix and --with-python_exec_prefix to specify explicitly.
- 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).
* Bugs fixed
- 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.
* Distribution
- config.sub and config.guess updates include restoration of `...`
for maximum portability.

Historically, the MD5 checksums in our LFS files serve as a protection
against broken downloads, or accidentally corrupted source files.
While the sources are nowadays downloaded via HTTPS, it make sense to
beef up integrity protection for them, since transparently intercepting
TLS is believed to be feasible for more powerful actors, and the state
of the public PKI ecosystem is clearly not helping.
Therefore, this patch switches from MD5 to BLAKE2, updating all LFS
files as well as make.sh to deal with this checksum algorithm. BLAKE2 is
notably faster (and more secure) than SHA2, so the performance penalty
introduced by this patch is negligible, if noticeable at all.
In preparation of this patch, the toolchain files currently used have
been supplied with BLAKE2 checksums as well on
https://source.ipfire.org/.

- Update automake from 1.16.2 to 1.16.3
- No change to rootfile
- New in 1.16.3:
* New features added
- In the testsuite summary, the "for $(PACKAGE_STRING)" suffix
can be overridden with the AM_TESTSUITE_SUMMARY_HEADER variable.
* Bugs fixed
- 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.
* Distribution
- new variable AM_DISTCHECK_DVI_TARGET, to allow overriding the
"make dvi" that is done as part of distcheck.
* Miscellaneous changes
- 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.
- Full change details are in ChangeLog file in tarball

Server. Habe damit schon begonnen. Bisher aber leider nur die Pakete von
A bis B einschliesslich. Ich hoffe da macht jemand anderes weiter.
Hinzu sind die Pakete, deren Mirrors ausgefallen sind, schon umgezogen.
