** Summary changed: - Update to latest 1.13.4 automake + Update to latest 1.14 automake
** Description changed: - This is a bug-fixing release, that remedies to a minor (and almost - certainly basically harmless) regression introduced in the previous - 1.13.3 micro release: + This release comes with two important changes: - When two or more user-defined suffix rules are present in a single - Makefile.am, automake 1.13.3 would needlessly include definition - of some make variables related to C compilation in the generated - Makefile.in (this is bug#14560, reported by Ralf Corsepius). - This is fixed in automake 1.13.4. + 1. It introduces a new feature aimed at making the implementation + of non-recursive build systems more convenient and manageable + (thanks to the new support for the '%reldir%' and '%canon_reldir%' + automake-time substitutions). - Apart from few minor testsuite enhancements, the fix for the bug - reported above is only relevant change between Automake 1.13.3 - and Automake 1.13.4, so we omit the usual detailed excerpt from - NEWS. + 2. It improves the handling of C compiles not supporting the conjunct + use of the '-c' and '-o' options (unfortunately, this improvement + comes with a couple of minor backward-incompatibilities, described + in detail in the NEWS section below). Among th other things, this + means that you no longer need to explicitly call the AM_PROG_CC_C_O + macro yourself in configure.ac (pre-existing invocation of this + macro are of course still accepted and correctly working, for the + sake of backward-compatibility). - Download the new release here: + The 1.14 release also introduces new (non-fatal) runtime warnings to + simplify the transition to Automake 2.0. You are free to ignore such + warnings for now, but should address them before the transition to + Automake 2.0 (whose ETA is about one year from now, maybe more, so no + need to hurry yet). - ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.13.4.tar.gz - ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.13.4.tar.xz + More info: + + http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2013-06/msg00040.html + + Download here: + + ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.14.tar.gz + ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.14.tar.xz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1191959 Title: Update to latest 1.14 automake To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/automake1.13/+bug/1191959/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
