Stefano Lattarini [Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:47:17 +0000 (10:47 +0200)]
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: allow obsolescent two-args invocation once again

This partially reverts commit 'v1.12-67-ge186355' of 2012-05-25,
"init: obsolete usages of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE not supported anymore"

Some users still need to be able to define the version number for
their package dynamically, at configure runtime.

Their user case is that, for development snapshots, they want to be
able to base the complete version of the package on the VCS revision
ID (mostly Git or Mercurial).  They could of course do so by
specifying such version dynamically in their call to AC_INIT, as is
done by several GNU packages.  But then they would need to regenerate
and re-run the configure script before each snapshot, which might be
very time-consuming for complex packages, to the point of slowing
down and even somewhat impeding development.

The situation should truly be solved in Autoconf, by allowing a way
to specify the version dynamically in a way that doesn't force the
configure script to be regenerated and re-run every time the package
version changes.  But until Autoconf has been improved to allow
this, Automake will have to support the obsolescent two-arguments
invocation for AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, to avoid regressing the suboptimal
but working solution for the use case described above.

<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-08/msg00025.html>

* NEWS: Update.
* m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Support once again invocation with

On current OpenIndiana (based on what once was OpenSolaris 11), the shell
/bin/sh (which, differently from what happens on Solaris, is a true POSIX
shell, thus worthy of consideration) somehow manages to "eat" the
error message from 'rm' when that fails to remove a file due to lacking
permission on the parent directory:

  $ /bin/sh -c "cd unwritable-dir || { echo OOPS; exit 1; }; rm -f foo"
  $ echo rc = $?
  rc = 1

  rm: foo not removed: Permission denied
  $ echo rc = $?
  rc = 2

That is probably due to an improper optimization, that is, the shell tries
to be smart and remove the file itself instead of invoking 'rm', but fails
spectacularly in the attempt.

* t/uninstall-fail.sh: The just-described bug was causing a spurious
