Changelog for autoconf-2.69-1.4.noarch.rpm :

* 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 !
* Wed Sep 10 2008 schwabAATTsuse.de- Update to autoconf 2.63.
*
* AC_C_BIGENDIAN does not mistakenly report \"universal\" for some bigendian hosts, a regression introduced with universal binary support in 2.62.
*
* AC_PATH_X now includes /lib64 and /usr/lib64 in its list of default library directories.
*
* AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS no longer conflicts with an external AC_DEFINE([__EXTENSIONS__]). This fixes a regression introduced in 2.62 when using macros such as AC_AIX that were made obsolete in favor of the more portable AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS.
*
* AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOLS is usable in the non-cross-compile case.
*
* Newly obsolete macros The following macro has been marked obsolete, since current porting targets can safely assume C89 semantics that signal handlers return void. We have no current plans to remove the macro. AC_TYPE_SIGNAL
*
* The macros m4_map and m4_map_sep now ignore any list elements consisting of just empty quotes, and m4_map_sep now expands its separator. This fixes a regression in 2.62 when these macros were first documented, for the sake of clients expecting the semantics that these macros had prior to that time. The new macros m4_mapall and m4_mapall_sep, along with extra quoting of the separator, can be used to get the semantics that m4_map_sep had in 2.62.
*
* Clients of m4_expand, such as AS_HELP_STRING and AT_SETUP, can now handle properly quoted but otherwise unbalanced parentheses (for some macros, this fixes a regression in 2.62).
*
* Two new quadrigraphs have been introduced: AATT{:AATT for (, and AATT:}AATT for ), allowing the output of unbalanced parentheses in more contexts.
*
* The following m4sugar macros are new: m4_joinall m4_mapall m4_mapall_sep m4_reverse m4_set_add m4_set_add_all m4_set_contains m4_set_contents m4_set_delete m4_set_difference m4_set_dump m4_set_empty m4_set_foreach m4_set_intersection m4_set_list m4_set_listc m4_set_remove m4_set_size m4_set_union
*
* The following m4sugar macros now accept multiple arguments, as is the case with underlying m4: m4_defn m4_popdef m4_undefine
*
* The following m4sugar macros now guarantee linear scaling; they previously had linear scaling with m4 1.6 but quadratic scaling when using m4 1.4.x. All macros built on top of these also gain the scaling improvements. m4_bmatch m4_bpatsubsts m4_case m4_cond m4_do m4_dquote_elt m4_foreach m4_join m4_list_cmp m4_map m4_map_sep m4_max m4_min m4_shiftn
*
* AT_KEYWORDS once again performs expansion on its argument, such that AT_KEYWORDS([m4_if([$1], [], [default])]) no longer complains about the possibly unexpanded m4_if [regression introduced in 2.62].
*
* Config header templates `#undef UNDEFINED /
* comment
*/\' do not lead to nested comments any more; regression introduced in 2.62.
* Thu Jul 17 2008 schwabAATTsuse.de- Revert AC_C_BIGENDIAN change for now.- Fix config header substitution.
* Wed Apr 09 2008 schwabAATTsuse.de- Update to autoconf 2.62.

* Mon Dec 04 2006 schwabAATTsuse.de- Update to autoconf 2.61.
*
* New macros AC_C_FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER, AC_C_VARARRAYS.
*
* AC_ARG_ENABLE and AC_ARG_WITH now allow \'.\' in feature and package names.
* Wed Aug 02 2006 schwabAATTsuse.de- Split off autoconf-el.
