In Gnulib, Emacs, etc. we are changing ftp: and http: URLs to use
https:, to discourage man-in-the-middle attacks when downloading
software. 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.

There is not need to make that an Automake variable early,
only to later get and munge its contents, and use the new
content to redefine the variable.
* bin/automake.in (@dist_common): New global variable.
(push_dist_common, handle_dist): Use it.
(handle_dist): Define am__DIST_COMMON instead of DIST_COMMON
directly.
(initialize_per_input): Reset it to empty.
($configure_dist_common): Turn this scalar variable ...
(@configure_dist_common): ... into this array variable.
(handle_dist): Adjust.
(required_file_check_or_copy): Update and wrap some comments.
* lib/am/distdir.am (DIST_COMMON): Append $(am__DIST_COMMON).
* t/distcom2.sh: Tighten a little.

So that they prefer checking the semantics of the generated Makefiles,
rather than grepping their content. This will be useful in an upcoming
refactoring.
* t/distcom-subdir.sh: Adjust this test.
* t/distcom2.sh: And this.
* t/distcom3.sh: And this.
* t/distcom4.sh: And this.

* micro:

It gives the impression that they are directly runnable, as with
"./t/foo.sh", but it has been a while since that was the case. Today,
tests are runnable only through "make check" or "./runtest".
This change is for the 'micro' branch (automake 1.13.2a). It will
soon be followed by similar patches for the 'maint' branch (automake
1.13a) and the 'master' branch (automake 1.99a).
* t/*.sh, t/*.tap: Remove executable bit.
* maint.mk (sc_tests_executable): Remove.
(syntax_check_rules): Adjust.
* gen-testsuite-part: Set permissions of generated tests to
'444' (-r--r--r--), rather than 555 (-r-xr-xr-x).

Our NEWS file says its use will no longer be required in Automake
1.13, so better make sure that is actually the case.
* Several tests: Adjust.

Do so seen when only source files in the "current" directory are present.
This commit is part of a series of related changes addressing automake
bug#13378 (see also the plan 'PLANS/subdir-objects.txt').
Before this change, Automake-generated C compilation rules mistakenly
passed the "-c -o" options combination unconditionally (even to losing
compiler) when the 'subdir-objects' was used but sources were only
present in the top-level directory. Issue spotted by Nick Bowler:
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13378#35>
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13378#44>
We fix this by having Automake redefine AC_PROG_CC to take over the role
of AM_PROG_CC_C_O and to require the 'compile' script unconditionally
(albeit that will continue to be invoked only when inferior compilers
are detected).
Among other things, this means AM_PROG_CC_C_O explicitly is no longer
required; that macro is still supported for backward-compatibility, but
calling it is basically a no-op now.
This change has some pros and some cons (obviously, we believe the former
outweighs the latter). Here are the most relevant ones:
+ Pros 1:
Some logic in the Automake script has been simplified.
+ Pros 2:
That simplification has automatically fixed an actual bug (see
Nick's mails referenced above; admittedly, that was present only in
corner-case situations, but still); the test 't/ccnoco4.sh', which
demonstrated the bug and has been failing so far, now passes.
+ Pros 3:
Things works more "automagically" now (no need to manually add the
AM_PROG_CC_C_O macro to configure.ac anymore).
* Cons 1:
The 'compile' script will be required in all projects using C
compilation; this will only be a problem for packages not using
'--add-missing'. However, such packages are definitely more rare
than the ones using '--add-missing', and adjusting them will be
trivial -- just copy the compile script over from the new Automake
installation.
* Cons 2:
The copy & paste of autoconf internals hack this change has introduced
in our "rewrite" of AC_PROG_CC is really an egregious abomination. It
can only be justified with the fact that we expect future versions of
autoconf to implement the semantics we need directly in AC_PROG_CC, so
that we'll be able to leverage that (since Automake 1.14 will require
the latest Autoconf version released).
Now, the detailed list of file-by-file changes ...
* automake.in ($seen_cc_c_o): Remove this global variable.
(scan_autoconf_traces): Don't set it, and do not trace the
'AM_PROG_CC_C_O' m4 macro.
(lang_c_rewrite): Remove, no longer needed.
* doc/automake.texi: Adjust expected "autoreconf --install" output
in the amhello example. Remove statements about the need for the
AM_PROG_CC_C_O macro. Report it is obsolete now.
* m4/init.m4: Re-write AC_PROG_CC to append checks about whether the
C compiler supports "-c -o" together. These checks have basically
been ripped out (with adaptations) from the 'AC_PROG_CC_C_O' macro
of Autoconf and ...
* m4/minuso.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): ... this macro of ours, which has
thus basically become a no-op.
* t/ax/am-test-lib.sh (am_setup_testdir): Also copy the 'compile'
script in the test directory; if we don't do so, every test using
AC_PROG_CC should call automake with the "--add-missing" option, or
copy the 'compile' script itself.
* t/cond11.sh: No need to create a dummy 'compile' script: that is
already brought in by 'am_setup_testdir()', that is automatically
invoked when 'test-lib.sh' is sourced.
* t/add-missing.tap: Adjust: we expect the 'compile' script to be
required by a mere AC_PROG_CC call now.
* t/dist-auxdir-many-subdirs.sh: Likewise.
* t/specflg6.sh: Likewise.
* t/subobj4.sh: Likewise.
* t/cxx-lt-demo.sh: Likewise, and update comments to match.
* t/distcom2.sh: Enhance a little.

This is a follow-up to today's commit v1.12.4-22-g0610fc8,
"tests: prepare to move ./defs to t/ax/test-init.sh"
* All tests: To run the common setup, use the command:
. test-init.sh
instead of the older, "historical" one:
. ./defs || exit 1
Note that the "|| exit 1" wasn't really useful, since the 'errexit'
shell flag is in effect in both './defs' and 'test-init.sh', and all
the known shells that are good enough to run the automake testsuite
do automatically exit with error when a sourced file cannot be found
(at least, they do so in non-interactive mode, which is the only
mode that concerns us in the testsuite).
* t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh, t/ax/testsuite-summary-checks.sh: Likewise.
* gen-testsuite-part: Do the same in the generated tests.

Now that we can assume our tests are run by a decent POSIX shell, we
can simplify our workaround aimed at having the exit status propagated
correctly to the code in the exit trap. Unfortunately, we cannot
dispense with such a workaround altogether, because it's still required
by some shells we need to support (at least Solaris 10 /bin/ksh and
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh).
For more information about the need of that workaround, see the entry
about 'trap' in the section "Limitations of Shell Builtins" in the
Autoconf manual:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#trap>
The new workaround has been tested successfully with the following
shells:
- Bash 4.1
- Bash 3.2
- Bash 3.0
- Bash 2.05b
- dash 0.5.5.1
- dash 0.5.2
- AT&T Ksh 93u (from official Debian package)
- MirBSD Korn Shell 40.2 (from official Debian package)
- Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /bin/ksh
- Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh
- NetBSD 5.1 /bin/sh
- NetBSD 5.1 /bin/ksh
* t/ax/test-init.sh (Exit): Rename ...
(_am_exit): ... like this.
(exit): New alias for '_am_exit'. We cannot simply redefine 'exit'
as a shell function, because some shells (dash 0.5.5.1, Solaris 10
/bin/ksh and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh) do not allow it.
(_am_exit, trap): Add extra escaping for 'exit' calls, to ensure we
really invoke the 'exit' builtin and not our alias with the same
name.
* configure.ac: Check that the shell selected to run our testsuite
supports aliases named like shell builtins.
* t/REAMDE: Adjust.
* All tests: Adjust, by simply using 'exit' instead of 'Exit'.
* t/self-check-explicit-skips.sh: Adjust: the first usage of 'exit'
after it has been redefined as an alias must be on a new line w.r.t.
that where the alias is defined, in order for the redefinition to be
honored.
* syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Delete.
(sc_tests_exit_not_Exit): New.
(syntax_check_rules): Adjust.
(sc_tests_automake_fails): Simplify the recipe a little.
* Several tests: Remove now useless spurious quoting once required
to placate the 'sc_tests_Exit_not_exit' maintainer check.
* gen-testsuite-part: Likewise. Also, avoid uses of 'Exit' in the
generated scripts.

When we (soon) convert the Automake testsuite to a non-recursive
make setup, we'll have to fix the entries of $(TESTS) to be
prepended with the subdirectory they are in; this will increase
the length of $(TESTS), and thus increase the possibility of
exceeding the command-line length limits on some systems (most
notably, MinGW/MSYS). See automake bug#7868 for more information.
Thus we rename the 'tests/' subdirectory to 't/', and each 'x.test'
script in there to 'x.sh'; this way, the $(TESTS) entry 'foo.test'
will become 't/foo.sh', which have the same number of characters.
