Hello autoconfers. What would you think about the suggestion of rolling out a new autoconf release in the next week or so? I'd like to see this happen for at least the following reasons: * Automake's own configure.ac (in master) needs the commit bd962acf "fortran: define $GFC to "yes" if $FC is a GNU compiler" in order to work 100% as expected, and since I'm planning to release Automake 1.12 in a couple of weeks or so, I'd like to see that change in a released Autoconf version, so that I won't be forced to require a development version of Autoconf as a bootstrap prerequisite; * The manual has been enhanced by documenting many new portability pitfalls (e.g., signal handling in shells, more make VPATH rewrite issues, more BSD parallel make incompatibilities, the Korn Shell cloexec behaviour, etc.), and it's a pity to see all these changes remain confined in the git repository instead of being "shared with the world"; * To check whether my change b5832028 "configure: will re-execute with $CONFIG_SHELL, if it's set" truly works in the wild, or whether we will have to revert it (in which case, the sooner the better, or at least the less painful). WDYT? Regards, Stefano _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
