* Wed Mar 15 2017 dimstar@opensuse.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 dimstar@opensuse.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 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Add autoconf-perl-5.17-fixes.patch: autoscan: port to perl 5.17.
* Fri Mar 13 2015 mpluskal@suse.com
- Cleanup spec file with spec-cleaner
- Add gpg signature
- Correct info file dependencies
* Wed Mar 20 2013 mmeister@suse.com
- Added url as source.
Please see http://en.opensuse.org/SourceUrls
* Tue Nov 27 2012 pth@suse.de
- Repackage with bzip2 so that the package can be built for older
distributions.
* Fri Apr 27 2012 pth@suse.de
- Fix .changes file.
* Thu Apr 26 2012 pth@suse.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_a@gmx.de
- correct license and style (prepare_spec)
- minor build fixes, avoid deprecated macros to be more portable
* Sat Sep 17 2011 jengelh@medozas.de
- Remove redundant tags/sections from specfile
* Sat Sep 17 2011 jengelh@medozas.de
- Remove redundant tags/sections from specfile
- Use %_smp_mflags for parallel build
* Mon Jan 31 2011 pth@suse.de
- Use 2.68 everywhere in specfile.
- Use %%configure macro in spec file.
* Mon Jan 31 2011 pth@suse.de
- Cosmetic changes to spec file
* Fri Dec 10 2010 coolo@novell.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 andrea@opensuse.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 pth@suse.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 jengelh@medozas.de
- use %_smp_mflags
* Mon May 31 2010 coolo@novell.com
- add empty install section
* Fri May 28 2010 coolo@novell.com
- split out test suite that takes 95% of the build time
* Wed Feb 17 2010 poletti.marco@gmail.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.
