Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in' files compliant with the GNU Coding Standards. This is routine update in the automake-1.10 release series, and contains the latest version of automake system, automake-1.10.
This is a bugfix release. This cygwin package, automake1.10, can be installed without conflict alongside the existing automake1.9, automake1.8, automake1.7, automake1.6, automake1.5, and automake1.4 cygwin packages. As expected now that cygwin-1.7.1 has been officially released, this automake1.10 package is available exclusively for cygwin-1.7. Changes (automake1.10-1.10.2-10 to automake1.10-1.10.3-1) ====================================================================== * Update to latest upstream release in the 1.10.x series CHANGES (excerpts from upstream announcement): ====================================================================== We're pleased to announce the release of Automake 1.10.3. Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in's suitable for use with Autoconf, compliant with the GNU Makefile standards, and portable to various make implementations. This is a bugfix release over 1.10.2. All of these bugfixes are contained in 1.11.1 as well, so you should be updating to 1.11.1 unless there is some incompatibility that forces you not to; in the latter case, please report to <[email protected]>. This bugfix release is done to propagate a fix for a security-related issue: the `dist' and `distcheck' rules do not allow an untrusted user to modify files that end up in the package tarball any more. See the separate security announcement for details. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2009-12/msg00012.html ====================================================================== Testsuite results: ===================================== 6 of 603 tests failed (30 tests were not run) ======================================================= There are no regressions (four of these are bogus, and the the remaining two are pre-existing failures). Testsuite Details: ===================================== FAIL: libtoo10.test FAIL: libtoo11.test FAIL: ltlibsrc.test FAIL: pr401b.test These tests require that they be run as root (Administrator), which I didn't initially. Rerunning under an Administrator account allows them to pass. In each case, the failure was due to "cp: failed to preserve ownership for `...': Permission denied" FAIL: check8.test FAIL: check9.test These are actually bugs in the test suite. They do not properly account for '.exe' on (some) executable names. This is fixed in the 1.11 testsuite, so I'm ignoring it here. -- Charles Wilson volunteer automake maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
