The build system defines variables similar to the ones automake provides to control the verbosity of the build. However, the iptables implemen- tation is only partially effective and was written fifteen years ago. This patch-set brings the variable definitions in line with the current automake recommendations and fixes some bugs. Patch 1 contains some unrelated formatting changes. Patches 2 & 3 remove some unused variables. Patch 4 brings the remaining ones in line with automake. Patch 5 adds a new variable for `ln`. Patch 6 fixes a problem with the man-page rules. Changes since v1 * Patch 6: missing newlines added * Patch 7: dropped after feedback from Jan Engelhardt Jeremy Sowden (6): build: format `AM_CPPFLAGS` variables build: remove obsolete `AM_LIBTOOL_SILENT` variable build: remove unused `AM_VERBOSE_CXX*` variables build: use standard automake verbosity variables build: add an automake verbosity variable for `ln` build: replace `echo -e` with `printf` extensions/GNUmakefile.in | 75 +++++++++++++++++++++++---------------- iptables/Makefile.am | 15 +++++--- 2 files changed, 56 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) -- 2.43.0
