Hello all, Stefano Lattarini wrote:
We are pleased to announce the Automake 1.11.2 maintenance release.
Three years and three stable releases have passed since a patch (by Jan Engelhardt) adding dist-lzip support to Automake was sent to this mailing list[1], but Automake 1.11.2 doesn't yet mention lzip anywhere. By contrast xz support was added when xz was at an early beta stage.
I know dist-lzip support will be present in Automake 1.12, but given the long time between Automake releases and the simplicity of the change I hoped to see it in this release. I am beginning to feel like a second-class citizen on this.
