Hello Jan, all, I've worked a bit on the less verbose automake stuff, and put the result up as a branch in the git repository: git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/automake.git git branch je-silent origin/je-silent-am
It would be *great* if you (or whoever wants to) could test it, play around with it, use it on various packages, and ideally also on different systems and make implementations if possible. Every bit helps. I won't promise that this branch will never be rewound, but I sure hope to be able to soon finish the other open topics, and then merge them for an 1.11 alpha. Detailed patch descriptions will follow on automake-patches, not sure if today, though. Please discuss/send patches on the -patches list. Thanks, Ralf
