For my reference, the http:// links in --help and man pages will auto update to https:// when using an autoconf updated with: https://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=autoconf.git;a=commit;h=d3dcd589 Or we could override PACKAGE_URL (temporarily) in AC_INIT as per: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2011-10/msg00051.html p.s. syntax checks for this one are fixed in: https://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=a608f1e cheers, Pádraig
