Changelog for
autoconf-2.69-17.3.noarch.rpm :
* Wed Mar 15 2017 dimstarAATTopensuse.org- Also BuildRequire m4 for autoconf-el: it was wrongly assumed that the two spec files would be in sync (but pre_checkin only syncs the Version: and .changes file).
* Thu Feb 09 2017 dimstarAATTopensuse.org- Explicitly buildrequire m4: there is a plan to remove it from the implicit buildroot configuration (just like autoconf itself is no longer part of a long time already).
* Tue Sep 01 2015 dimstarAATTopensuse.org- Add autoconf-perl-5.17-fixes.patch: autoscan: port to perl 5.17.
* Fri Mar 13 2015 mpluskalAATTsuse.com- Cleanup spec file with spec-cleaner- Add gpg signature- Correct info file dependencies
* Wed Mar 20 2013 mmeisterAATTsuse.com- Added url as source. Please see http://en.opensuse.org/SourceUrls
* Tue Nov 27 2012 pthAATTsuse.de- Repackage with bzip2 so that the package can be built for older distributions.
* Fri Apr 27 2012 pthAATTsuse.de- Fix .changes file.
* Thu Apr 26 2012 pthAATTsuse.de- Update to 2.69:
* Noteworthy changes in release 2.69 (2012-04-24) [stable]
*
* Autoconf now requires perl 5.6 or better (but generated configure scripts continue to run without perl).
* Noteworthy changes in release 2.68b (2012-03-01) [beta] Released by Eric Blake, based on git versions 2.68.
*.
*
* Autoconf-generated configure scripts now unconditionally re-execute themselves with $CONFIG_SHELL, if that\'s set in the environment.
*
* The texinfo documentation no longer specifies \"front-cover\" or \"back-cover\" texts, so that it may now be included in Debian\'s \"main\" section.
*
* Support for the Go programming language has been added. The new macro AC_LANG_GO sets variables GOC and GOFLAGS.
*
* AS_LITERAL_IF again treats \'=\' as a literal. Regression introduced in 2.66.
*
* The macro AS_EXECUTABLE_P, present since 2.50, is now documented.
*
* Macros - AC_PROG_LN_S and AS_LN_S now fall back on \'cp -pR\' (not \'cp -p\') if \'ln -s\' does not work. This works better for symlinks to directories. - New macro AC_HEADER_CHECK_STDBOOL. - New and updated macros for Fortran support: AC_FC_CHECK_BOUNDS to enable array bounds checking AC_F77_IMPLICIT_NONE and AC_FC_IMPLICIT_NONE to disable implicit integer AC_FC_MODULE_EXTENSION to compute the Fortran 90 module name extension AC_FC_MODULE_FLAG for the Fortran 90 module search path flag AC_FC_MODULE_OUTPUT_FLAG for the Fortran 90 module output directory flag AC_FC_PP_SRCEXT for preprocessed Fortran source files extensions AC_FC_PP_DEFINE for the Fortran preprocessor define flag
* Sun Dec 18 2011 sweet_f_aAATTgmx.de- correct license and style (prepare_spec)- minor build fixes, avoid deprecated macros to be more portable
* Sat Sep 17 2011 jengelhAATTmedozas.de- Remove redundant tags/sections from specfile
* Sat Sep 17 2011 jengelhAATTmedozas.de- Remove redundant tags/sections from specfile- Use %_smp_mflags for parallel build
* Mon Jan 31 2011 pthAATTsuse.de- Use 2.68 everywhere in specfile.- Use %%configure macro in spec file.
* Mon Jan 31 2011 pthAATTsuse.de- Cosmetic changes to spec file
* Fri Dec 10 2010 cooloAATTnovell.com- update to 2.68 to include the patch
*
* AC_MSG_ERROR (and AS_ERROR) can once again be followed immediately by `dnl\'. Regression introduced in 2.66.
*
* AC_INIT again allows URLs with \'?\' for its BUG-REPORT argument. Regression introduced in 2.66.
*
* AC_REPLACE_FUNCS again allows a non-literal argument, such as a shell variable that expands to a list of functions to check. Regression introduced in 2.66.
*
* AT_BANNER() with empty argument will cause visual separation from previous test category.
*
* The macros AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, AC_LINK_IFELSE, and AC_RUN_IFELSE now warn if the first argument failed to use AC_LANG_SOURCE or AC_LANG_PROGRAM to generate the conftest file contents. A new macro AC_LANG_DEFINES_PROVIDED exists if you have a compelling reason why you cannot use AC_LANG_SOURCE but must avoid the warning.
*
* Newly obsolete macros The following macros have been marked obsolete. New programs should use the corresponding Gnulib modules. Gnulib not only detects a larger set of portability problems with these functions, but also provides complete workarounds. AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE AC_FUNC_LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK AC_FUNC_MKTIME AC_FUNC_STRTOD
* Sun Sep 19 2010 andreaAATTopensuse.org- added patch autoconf-2.67-fix_dnl.patch to fix regression in AC_MSG_ERROR expansion (undefined macro: AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FDdnl)
* Wed Aug 18 2010 pthAATTsuse.de- Update to 2.67:
* New macro AC_FC_LINE_LENGTH to accept long Fortran source code lines.
* AC_PREPROC_IFELSE now keeps the preprocessed output in the conftest.i file for inspection by the commands in the ACTION-IF-TRUE argument.
* autoreconf passes warning flags to new enough versions of aclocal.
* Running an Autotest testsuite in parallel mode no longer triggers a race condition that could cause the testsuite run to end early, fixing a sporadic failure in autoconf\'s own testsuite. Bug present since introduction of parallel tests in 2.63b. Major changes in Autoconf 2.66 (2010-07-02) [stable]
* AC_FUNC_MMAP works in C++ mode again. Regression introduced in 2.65.
* Use of m4_divert without a named diversion now issues a syntax warning, since it is seldom right to change diversions behind autoconf\'s back.
* The macros AC_TYPE_INT8_T, AC_TYPE_INT16_T, AC_TYPE_INT32_T, and AC_TYPE_INT64_T work again. Regression introduced in 2.65.
* AC_PROG_INSTALL correctly uses `shtool\' again. Regression introduced in 2.64.
* Autoconf should work on EBCDIC hosts.
* AC_CHECK_DECL and AC_CHECK_DECLS accept optional function argument types for overloaded C++ functions.
* AS_SET_CATFILE accepts nonliterals in its variable name argument now.
* Autotest testsuites accept an option --recheck to rerun tests that failed or passed unexpectedly during the last non-debug testsuite run.
* AC_ARG_ENABLE and AC_ARG_WITH now also accept `+\' signs in `--enable-
*\' and `--with-
*\' arguments, converting them to underscores for the variable names.
* In configure scripts, loading CONFIG_SITE no longer searches PATH, and problems in loading the configuration site files are diagnosed.
* Autotest testsuites may optionally provide colored test results.
* The previously undocumented Autotest macros AT_ARG_OPTION and AT_ARG_OPTION_ARG have seen bug fixes and are documented now. AT_ARG_OPTION has been changed in that the negative of a long option --OPTION is now --no-OPTION rather than --noOPTION.
* The macro AS_LITERAL_IF is slightly more conservative; text containing shell quotes are no longer treated as literals. Furthermore, a new macro, AS_LITERAL_WORD_IF, adds an additional level of checking that no whitespace occurs in literals.
* The macros AS_TR_SH and AS_TR_CPP no longer expand their results.
* The following macros are now documented: AS_BOX
* New macro AC_FC_FIXEDFORM to accept fixed-form Fortran.
* Mon Jun 28 2010 jengelhAATTmedozas.de- use %_smp_mflags
* Mon May 31 2010 cooloAATTnovell.com- add empty install section
* Fri May 28 2010 cooloAATTnovell.com- split out test suite that takes 95% of the build time
* Wed Feb 17 2010 poletti.marcoAATTgmail.com- Update to 2.65
*
* Autoconf is now licensed under the GPLv3+.
*
* The manual is now shipped under the terms of the GNU FDL 1.3.
*
* config.status now provides a --config option to produce the configuration.
*
* Autoconf now requires GNU M4 1.4.6 or later. GNU M4 1.4.13 or later is recommended.
*
* Autotest testsuites accept an option --jobs[=N] for parallel testing. This feature is still in testing, and may not work on every platform, help in improving it would be appreciated.
* Sun Dec 06 2009 jengelhAATTmedozas.de- enable parallel building
* Fri Jul 17 2009 dominique-obsAATTleuenberger.net- Add autoconf-xfail-test27.patch + It skips test 27 ([autom4te preselections]) as it\'s an incompatibility between autoconf 2.63 and automake 1.11 ! This patch needs to be removed with autoconf 2.64 again !
