This is a beta for the next bug-fix release of Automake. The list of bug fixes is appended. Some of these fixes are not as trivial as I whish they were, so please give this beta a try before it gets promoted into a release (in a week or so, hopefully).
Please send bug reports to <[email protected]>. You can download this beta here: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.9.6b.tar.gz ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.9.6b.tar.gz.sig ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.9.6b.tar.bz2 ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.9.6b.tar.bz2.sig ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/automake/automake-1.9.6b.tar.gz ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/automake/automake-1.9.6b.tar.gz.sig ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/automake/automake-1.9.6b.tar.bz2 ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/automake/automake-1.9.6b.tar.bz2.sig Here are the MD5 checksums: 78fae5179342671571be965b22744656 automake-1.9.5b.tar.bz2 2e9427a6ae475c46432d0c005c9d3fd6 automake-1.9.5b.tar.gz Bugs fixed in 1.9.5b: * Longstanding bugs: - Correctly diagnose `#' comments following trailing backslash. - Preserve backslashes preceding `##' lines. - Preserve the order of items conditionally appended (+=) to variables. - Fix support of directory name with spaces on systems where mkinstalldirs cannot use `mkdir -p'. - Avoid infinite loop in mdate-sh when TIME_STYLE is set. - Do not output two definitions of SOURCES (an internal variable). One was not formatted and could exceed the maximum line length of some third-party tools (e.g., AIX 5.1 grep, breaking dependency tracking). - Do not empty info files when attempting to rebuild them without makeinfo. - Be smarter when a Makefile.am references files in both "./dir" and "dir": do not output two rules to create these directories. (PR/461) - Do not attempt to recover a missing *.elc file if it cannot be created because emacs does not exist. - Several aclocal fixes for issues occuring when configure.ac includes some other m4 files explicitely with m4_include or m4_sinclude. (PR/450) * Other miscellaneous changes: - Update the GPL license, and the FSF postal address. - Anticipate for python2.5 in AM_PATH_PYTHON. - The manual should now compile without any warning from TeX. -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz
