+ gitlog-to-changelog: new auxiliary script, synced from gnulib
+
+ We have plans to stop maintaining a version-controlled ChangeLog
+ file in the Automake repository, and instead begin to generate it
+ automatically from the git log messages. To do so, we will use
+ the `gitlog-to-changelog' script from gnulib.
+

+
+ docs: "aclocal --install -I /abs/dir" actually copies files
+
+ This change is for automake bug#8407.
+
+ In the past, there had been some debate and confusion about
+ whether "aclocal --install" should copy third-party .m4 files
+ in the first directory passed to the `-I' option even when
+ such directory was given as an absolute path, or whether it
+ was better to do so only for directories specified with a
+ relative path.
+
+ The rationale for this latter behaviour was that, before the
+ existence of the `ACLOCAL_PATH' variable, the only way (a poor
+ way, I might add) for a common user to extend the search path
+ of a system-wide installation of aclocal was to export something
+ like ACLOCAL="aclocal -I /my/extra/macros" in the environment.
+ Today, the correct way to proceed is undoubtedly through the
+ use of ACLOCAL_PATH, so we can settle the question once and for
+ all, and start verifying the correct behaviour of `-I' with a
+ new test.
+
+ * tests/aclocal-install-absdir.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
+ * doc/automake.texi (aclocal Options): Be more explicit about
+ this part of `--install' semantics.
+

+
+ docs: fix node names for automake and aclocal invocations
+
+ With the older node names, an "info automake" command issued
+ from the command line would have opened the node about the
+ invocation of the automake program, rather than the Top node
+ of the automake documentation. To invoke the Top node, one
+ had to issue the command "info Automake" instead (note the
+ different capitalization). This was suboptimal, and certainly
+ confusing.
+
+ With this change, "info automake" will open the Top node of the
+ automake documentation; to access the nodes about the invocation
+ of the automake and aclocal program, one has now to issue "info
+ automake-invocation" and "info aclocal-invocation" respectively.
+
+ This change fixes automake bug#8071.
+
+ See also commits `v2.61a-22-ge9215d1' and `v2.61a-72-g8c07b48' in
+ the autoconf git repository, which tackled a similar issue.
+
+ * doc/automake.texi (@direntry): Rename nodes `aclocal' and
+ `automake' to `aclocal-invocation' and `automake-invocation'
+ respectively.
+ * NEWS: Update.
