The attached patch propagates these changes upstream to Automake. This patch does not affect files that Automake is downstream of, which I'll patch separately. Althouth the resources are not secret, plain HTTP is vulnerable to malicious routers that tamper with responses from GNU servers, and this sort of thing is all too common when people in some other countries browse US-based websites. See, for example: Aceto G, Botta A, Pescapé A, Awan MF, Ahmad T, Qaisar S. Analyzing internet censorship in Pakistan. RTSI 2016. https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/RTSI.2016.7740626 HTTPS is not a complete solution here, but it can be a significant help. The GNU project regularly serves up code to users, so we should take some care here.
| * mdate-sh: Ensure reproducible time outputReiner Herrmann2017-09-151-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change fixes automake bug#20314. 'mdate-sh' pretty-prints the modification time of a file. But it's output can vary depending on the timezone of the caller. Someone in timezone GMT-12 will get a different result (day) than someone in timezone GMT+12. As this output is also used to create/update stamp files, which influence the further build process, the build result can vary. * lib/mdate-sh: Set 'TZ' to UTC which ensures reproducible output. * NEWS: Announce bug fix.

| * | automake: Shorter object file names under subdir-objectsThomas Martitz2017-07-061-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Combining the 'subdir-objects' option with target-specific flags had the consequence of producing long object file names. This was done to preventively ensure the uniqueness of object file names. We are now using shorter names by default, and handle long names when an actual conflict is detected. This will hopefully reduce the necessity of using the 'prog_SHORTNAME' facility. Example: previously: AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = subdir-objects bin_PROGRAMS += path/to/foo path_to_foo_CFLAGS = $(AM_CFLAGS) -g resulted in objects: sub/path_to_foo-foo.o now object file name is: sub/foo-foo.o * bin/automake.in (proglist, liblist, ltliblist) (dup_shortnames): New globals. (initialize_per_input): Initialize them. (handle_targets): New subroutine. (handle_single_transform): Truncate object file names when possible. * t/subobj-objname-clash.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add it. * NEWS: Update.

To handle the inclusion of such files that are still missing when make is first we basically generate a temporary Makefile without these includes, and call 'make' on that Makefile. This fixes the serious bug bug#13928, which was an hard blocker to make the behavior mandated by the 'subdir-object' active by default (which we want to do in Automake 2.0). The issue has also been reported in bug#15919. * NEWS, THANKS: Update. * bin/automake.in (handle_languages): Add a trailing "marking" comment ("# am--include-marker") to the generated Makefile lines issuing 'include' directives for the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. Also rename the generated Makefile variable 'am__depfiles_maybe' to the clearer 'am__maybe_remake_depfiles'. Minor unrelated refactoring. * lib/am/configure.am: Adjust to account for the 'am__depfiles_maybe' -> 'am__maybe_remake_depfiles' renaming. * lib/am/depend.am: Add rules to generate a dummy version of all the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. * m4/depout.m4: Use make invocations rather than Makefile-parsing sed hacks to bootstrap the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. We still use some sed trickery in order to remove the inclusion of the still non existing .Po and .Plo files from the Makefile we invoke make upon; this is done stripping lines that contain the magic string "# am--include-marker". * m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Given that now automake generates Makefiles containing include statements with trailing comment, adjust the checks done here to make sure $MAKE support that; e.g., "include foo.mk # comment" rather than just "include foo.mk". Also refactor and adjust to leave better debugging info in config.log. * t/postproc.sh: Rename ... * t/depend-postproc.sh: ... to this, and adjust and enhance. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Adjust. (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 't/subobj-indir-pr13928.sh', which is now succeeding. * t/subobj-indir-pr13928.sh: Simplify slightly, now that we expect it to pass. * t/depcomp8a.sh: Adjust grepping check to account for the changes in the generated Makefile, and tp be somewhat more robust in light of possible future modifications. * t/depcomp8b.sh: Likewise. * t/subobj11b.sh: Likewise. * t/subobj11c.sh: Likewise. * t/extra-sources.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-depend-grep.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-depend-cxx.sh: Add a command to help debugging in case of test failure.

An important example of this are *generated* makefile fragments included at Automake time in Makefile.am. A basic example: # -*- Makefile.am -*- $(srcdir)/fragment.am: $(srcdir)/data.txt $(srcdir)/preproc.sh cd $(srcdir) && $(SHELL) preproc.sh <data.txt >fragment.am include $(srcdir)/fragment.am ... If the use forgot to add data.txt and/or preproc.sh in the distribution tarball, "make distcheck" would have erroneously succeeded! The reason is that, while $(srcdir)/data.txt does not exist, make also looks in $(srcdir)/$(srcdir)/data.txt, and in the distcheck-issued VPATH build where $(srcdir) is '..', that file exists, as it is part of the original development directory. * t/distdir.am (distcheck): Adjust to have the build directory be '$(distdir)/_build/sub' rather than just '$(distdir)/_build'. Thanks Nicola Fontana for the suggestion. * t/distcheck-pr18286.sh: Enhance and tighten a little. * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 't/distcheck-pr18286.sh', as it's now passing. * t/subdir-am-cond.sh: Adjust to avoid a fully spurious failure due to the new distcheck semantics. * t/subdir-ac-subst.sh: Likewise. * t/dejagnu-relative-srcdir.sh: Likewise. * t/txinfo-builddir.sh: Likewise. * NEWS: Update.

| | |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This used to be the case until Automke 1.13, but we broke it in Automake 1.14 (see commit v1.13.1-71-gf78b0f0). This caused issues like http://debbugs.gnu.org/16841 * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Adjust. * t/aminit-trailing-dnl-comment-pr16841.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

This change fixes automake bug#15981. * m4/auxdir.m4 (AM_AUX_DIR_EXPAND): AC_REQUIRE expansion of 'AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR_DEFAULT'. Fix redundant comment and AC_PREREQ, add extra quoting around '$ac_aux_dir'. * t/auxdir-pr15981.sh: New test. * t/auxdir-cc-pr15981.sh: Likewise. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add them. * THANKS, NEWS: Update. * bin/automake.in: Fix a harmless typo in comments, that I happened to notice while writing this patch.
