- 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

Fri Dec 10 13:00:00 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 14:00:00 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 14:00:00 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.

- 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 !
