+
+make-dfsg (4.1-4) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * Try to fix this bug. The problem is due to the fopen fail test, where
+ we fopen as many files as we can recursively before we run out of file
+ descriptors, and ensure that we exit with a failure message. The tests
+ times out on some machines. On abel, doubling the timeout was not
+ enough, but increasing it to 1200 seconds worked.

+make-dfsg (4.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * Update the handling of the changed behaviour of ar. The fix in the
+ previous version has been rolled back. The new strategy is to narrowly
+ change running the test suite to pass in the U modifier to ar, and
+ change make to detect and warn the user of they are using the archive
+ rule like libxx(*.o) to generate archives, and the archives do not
+ contain time stamps. The warning advises the user to explicitly pass
+ in the modifier U in the environment variable ARFLAGS, which is
+ essentially what we did for the test suite.

+ * New upstream release

+ * Updated the VCS-Git field of the control file to use HTTPS transport
+ * Updated the copyright file to DEP-5 format.

+ * Bug fix: "[make] make version 4.1 available", thanks to LeJacq, Jean
+ Pierre (Closes: #766383).
+ * Demote make to priority optional, along with gcc and such. And bump
+ make-guile to extra.
+ * Bug fix: "Neither make nor make-guile should be standard", thanks to
+ Josh Triplett (Closes: #761301).
+ * Bug fix: "make instead of make-guile should be standard", thanks to
+ Joey Hess (Closes: #762017).
+ * Make make and make-guile be Multi-Arch: Allowed packages, since it
+ might not be feasible to make make architecture agnostic.
+ * Bug fix: "Please add U flag in the default ARFLAGS", thanks to
+ Celelibi. I tend to agree, this was a backwards incompatible
+ change. Make needs the timestamps to knpow when to update archie
+ members, so nuking the timestamps changes behaviour, and remake things
+ that need not be remade. This fails the principle of least surprise. I
+ added a default -U to the flags make passes to arl (Closes: #798804).

+ * There is an issue involving UTF-8 characters and the function
+ find_char_unquote (read.c). The problem in the macro STOP_SET
+ (makeint.h) where a character is converted to an int. Conversion to
+ int is not correct. Characters with codes greater than 0x7f ( in
+ particular in Cyrillic UTF- 8 ) into a large negative number. Thnks to
+ the analysis from Юрий Матронов <ymuser@mail.ru>. This bug was
+ independently reported and fixed upstream, so cherry picking that
+ commit from upstream (which also comes with a test).
+ (Closes: #747764).

+make-dfsg (4.0-5) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * When presented with a very very long command line (e.g. WebKit's linking
+ of libWebCore.la in current git), make fails to execute the command as
+ it doesn't split the command line to fit within the limits. There is a
+ patch used by people to solve this (gentoo, etc). Adam Conrad has
+ provided a patch to fix this. (Closes: #688601).
+ * Pre-4.0 make had an memory corruption issue that caused repeated
+ execution of a specific makefile to display the cirruption. Running
+ with make 4.0 does not show the issue. (Closes: #682895).
+ * recently, the Multi-Arch: foreign tag was added toth make binary
+ package. Jakub Wilk pointed out that this is not correct, some of the
+ make interfaces are actually architecture-dependent. Reverting that
+ change.
+ * Bug fix #688601: "fails to execute extraordinarily long command
+ lines", thanks to Daniel Stone

+
+ * New upstream version with various bugs fixed.

+ fixed. In the new version, this has been fixed for real, as opposed to
+ just having a workaround. closes: Bug#160174
+ * depend on coreutils rather than the deprecated fileutils closes: Bug#161449
+ * The new release also fixes this bug. closes: Bug#144306, Bug#80783
+
+ * A new feature exists: order-only prerequisites. These prerequisites
+ affect the order in which targets are built, but they do not impact
+ the rebuild/no-rebuild decision of their dependents. That is to say,
+ they allow you to require target B be built before target A, without
+ requiring that target A will always be rebuilt if target B is updated.
+ Patch for this feature provided by Greg McGary <greg@mcgary.org>.
+
+ * For compatibility with SysV make, GNU make now supports the peculiar
+ syntax $$@, $$(@D), and $$(@F) in the prerequisites list of a rule.
+ This syntax is only valid within explicit and static pattern rules: it
+ cannot be used in implicit (suffix or pattern) rules. Edouard
+ G. Parmelan <egp@free.fr> provided a patch implementing this
+ feature; however, I decided to implement it in a different way.
+
+ * The argument to the "ifdef" conditional is now expanded before it's
+ tested, so it can be a constructed variable name.
+
+ Similarly, the arguments to "export" (when not used in a variable
+ definition context) and "unexport" are also now expanded.
+
+ * A new function is defined: $(value ...). The argument to this
+ function is the _name_ of a variable. The result of the function is
+ the value of the variable, without having been expanded.
+
+ * A new function is defined: $(eval ...). The arguments to this
+ function should expand to makefile commands, which will then be
+ evaluated as if they had appeared in the makefile. In combination
+ with define/endef multiline variable definitions this is an extremely
+ powerful capability. The $(value ...) function is also sometimes
+ useful here.
+
+ * A new built-in variable is defined, $(MAKEFILE_LIST). It contains a
+ list of each makefile GNU make has read, or started to read, in the
+ order in which they were encountered. So, the last filename in the
+ list when a makefile is just being read (before any includes) is the
+ name of the current makefile.
+
+ * A new built-in variable is defined: $(.VARIABLES). When it is
+ expanded it returns a complete list of variable names defined by all
+ makefiles at that moment.
+
+ * A new command-line option is defined, -B or --always-make. If
+ specified GNU make will consider all targets out-of-date even if they
+ would otherwise not be.
+
+ * The arguments to $(call ...) functions were being stored in $1, $2,
+ etc. as recursive variables, even though they are fully expanded
+ before assignment. This means that escaped dollar signs ($$ etc.)
+ were not behaving properly. Now the arguments are stored as simple
+ variables. This may mean that if you added extra escaping to your
+ $(call ...) function arguments you will need to undo it now.
+
+ * The variable invoked by $(call ...) can now be recursive: unlike other
+ variables it can reference itself and this will not produce an error
+ when it is used as the first argument to $(call ...) (but only then).
+
+ * New pseudo-target .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME, superseding the configure
+ option --disable-nsec-timestamps. You might need this if your build
+ process depends on tools like "cp -p" preserving time stamps, since
+ "cp -p" (right now) doesn't preserve the subsecond portion of a time
+ stamp.
+
+ * Updated translations for French, Galician, German, Japanese, Korean,
+ and Russian. New translations for Croatian, Danish, Hebrew, and
+ Turkish.
+
+ * Updated internationalization support to Gettext 0.11.5.
+ GNU make now uses Gettext's "external" feature, and does not include
+ any internationalization code itself. Configure will search your
+ system for an existing implementation of GNU Gettext (only GNU Gettext
+ is acceptable) and use it if it exists. If not, NLS will be disabled.
+ See ABOUT-NLS for more information.
+
+ * Updated to autoconf 2.54 and automake 1.7. Users should not be impacted.

+
+ * New upstream release, adds fixes already present in Debian. This
+ closes: Bug#62619
+ changes are:
+ * GNU make optionally supports internationalization and locales via
+ the GNU gettext (or local gettext if suitable) package. See the
+ ABOUT-NLS file for more information on configuring GNU make for
+ NLS.
+ * Previously, GNU make quoted variables such as MAKEFLAGS and
+ MAKEOVERRIDES for proper parsing by the shell. This allowed them to
+ be used within make build scripts. However, using them there is not
+ proper behavior: they are meant to be passed to subshells via the
+ environment. Unfortunately the values were not quoted properly to be
+ passed through the environment. This meant that make didn't properly
+ pass some types of command line values to submakes.
+
+ With this version we change that behavior: now these variables are
+ quoted properly for passing through the environment, which is the
+ correct way to do it. If you previously used these variables
+ explicitly within a make rule you may need to re-examine your use for
+ correctness given this change.
+ * A new psuedo-target .NOTPARALLEL is available. If defined, the
+ current makefile is run serially regardless of the value of -j.
+ However, submakes are still eligible for parallel execution.
+ * The --debug option has changed: it now allows optional flags
+ controlling the amount and type of debugging output. By default only
+ a minimal amount information is generated, displaying the names of
+ "normal" targets (not makefiles) were deemed out of date and in need
+ of being rebuilt.
+
+ Note that the -d option behaves as before: it takes no arguments and
+ all debugging information is generated.
+ * The `-p' (print database) output now includes filename and linenumber
+ information for variable definitions, to help debugging.
+ * The wordlist function no longer reverses its arguments if the "start"
+ value is greater than the "end" value. If that's true, nothing is
+ returned.
+ * Hartmut Becker provided many updates for the VMS port of GNU make.
+ See the readme.vms file for more details.

+make (3.77-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * New upstream version. Excerpted changes:
+ * Implement BSD make's "?=" variable assignment operator. The variable
+ is assigned the specified value only if that variable is not already
+ defined.
+ * Make defines a new variable, "CURDIR", to contain the current working
+ directory (after the -C option, if any, has been processed).
+ Modifying this variable has no effect on the operation of make.
+ * Make defines a new default RCS rule, for new-style master file
+ storage: ``% :: RCS/%'' (note no ``,v'' suffix).
+
+ Make defines new default rules for DOS-style C++ file naming
+ conventions, with ``.cpp'' suffixes. All the same rules as for
+ ``.cc'' and ``.C'' suffixes are provided, along with LINK.cpp and
+ COMPILE.cpp macros (which default to the same value as LINK.cc and
+ COMPILE.cc). Note CPPFLAGS is still C preprocessor flags! You should
+ use CXXFLAGS to change C++ compiler flags.
+ * A new feature, "target-specific variable values", has been added.
+ This is a large change so please see the appropriate sections of the
+ manual for full details. Briefly, syntax like this:
+
+ TARGET: VARIABLE = VALUE
+
+ defines VARIABLE as VALUE within the context of TARGET. This is
+ similar to SunOS make's "TARGET := VARIABLE = VALUE" feature. Note
+ that the assignment may be of any type, not just recursive, and that
+ the override keyword is available.
+
+ COMPATIBILITY: This new syntax means that if you have any rules where
+ the first or second dependency has an equal sign (=) in its name,
+ you'll have to escape them with a backslash: "foo : bar\=baz".
+ Further, if you have any dependencies which already contain "\=",
+ you'll have to escape both of them: "foo : bar\\\=baz".
+ * A new appendix listing the most common error and warning messages
+ generated by GNU make, with some explanation, has been added to the
+ GNU make User's Manual.
+ * Updates to the GNU make Customs library support (see README.customs).
+ * Updates to the Windows 95/NT port from Rob Tulloh (see README.W32),
+ and to the DOS port from Eli Zaretski (see README.DOS).

+make (3.76-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * New upstream update. Changes:
+ * GNU make now uses automake to control Makefile.in generation. This
+ should make it more consistent with the GNU standards.
+ * VPATH functionality has been changed to incorporate the VPATH+ patch,
+ previously maintained by Paul Smith <psmith@baynetworks.com>. See the
+ manual.
+ * Make defines a new variable, `MAKECMDGOALS', to contain the goals that
+ were specified on the command line, if any. Modifying this variable
+ has no effect on the operation of make.
+ * A new function, `$(wordlist S,E,TEXT)', is available: it returns a
+ list of words from number S to number E (inclusive) of TEXT.
+ * Instead of an error, detection of future modification times gives a
+ warning and continues. The warning is repeated just before GNU make
+ exits, so it is less likely to be lost.
+ * Fix the $(basename) and $(suffix) functions so they only operate on
+ the last filename, not the entire string:
+ Command Old Result New Result
+ ------- ---------- ----------
+ $(basename a.b) a a
+ $(basename a.b/c) a a.b/c
+ $(suffix a.b) b b
+ $(suffix a.b/c) b/c <empty>
+ * The $(strip) function now removes newlines as well as TABs and spaces.
+ * The $(shell) function now changes CRLF (\r\n) pairs to a space as well
+ as newlines (\n).
+ * Updates to the Windows 95/NT port from Rob Tulloh (see README.W32).
+ * Eli Zaretskii has updated the port to 32-bit protected mode on MSDOS
+ and MS-Windows, building with the DJGPP v2 port of GNU C/C++ compiler
+ and utilities. See README.DOS for details, and direct all questions
+ concerning this port to Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> or DJ
+ Delorie <dj@delorie.com>.
+ * John W. Eaton has updated the VMS port to support libraries and VPATH.
+ * Make sure that the manual pages are installed.
