Debian Changelog autoconf (2.64-4)

2009

autoconf (2.64-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add back Suggests: autoconf-archive removed in 2.64-3.  I did check
     whether that package still existed, but somehow I got it
     wrong--perhaps a typo.  Thanks to Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>
     for pointing out my mistake.

autoconf (2.64-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Remove Suggests: autobook, autoconf-archive, because these packages
     are no longer in Debian.  Thanks to Vincent Bernat <bernat@debian.org>
     for pointing this out.  Closes: #548025.

 -- Ben Pfaff <pfaffben@debian.org>  Sat, 26 Sep 2009 19:57:58 -0700

autoconf (2.64-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Require m4 version 1.4.13 or later for both build and installation.
     GNU m4 1.4.13 adds a "--gnu" option that Autom4te uses at runtime if
     it was found to work at build time, so these dependencies ensure
     consistency.  Thanks to Martin Casado <casado@nicira.com> for
     reporting the problem.

autoconf (2.64-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release.
 
   * The autoscan program no longer generates references to obsolete macro
     AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG as of Autoconf 2.62, but this was forgotten in
     earlier uploads of Autoconf 2.62 and later.  Closes: #478476.
 
   * AC_MINIX no longer generates warnings.  Closes: #523391.
 
   * Erlang works again.  Closes: #454798.

 -- Ben Pfaff <pfaffben@debian.org>  Sat, 22 Nov 2008 08:27:34 -0800

autoconf (2.62-1) experimental; urgency=low

autoconf (2.61-7) unstable; urgency=low

   * lib/autoconf/functions.m4: Fix AC_FUNC_MKTIME to work properly with
     GCC 4.3.0.  Patch taken from upstream commit 7bd79987 by Paul Eggert.

     Thanks to Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> for bringing the importance of

autoconf (2.61-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/control: Change dependency on automake | automaken back to a
     recommendation, based on discussion in BTS for bug #462021 and on
     debian-devel.  Also, suggest libtool and gettext because they are
     often used with autoconf (and invoked by autoreconf) but not nearly so
     often as automake.

 -- Ben Pfaff <pfaffben@debian.org>  Sat, 09 Feb 2008 17:59:10 -0800

autoconf (2.61-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/control: Depend on automake | automaken, instead of just
     recommending automaken, because the autoreconf program actually
     invokes binaries from automake.  Thanks to Norman Ramsey
     <nr@eecs.harvard.edu> for reporting this bug.  Closes: #462021.
 
   * debian/rules: Don't ignore all errors from "make distclean"; only
     ignore the absence of a Makefile.  Found by lintian.
 
   * debian/NEWS.Debian: Reformat to comply with recommendation in
     Developers Reference.  Found by lintian.
