Log message:
automake: update to 1.18.

Based on wip/automake by Frédéric Fauberteau.

New in 1.18 (2025-05-25):

* New features added

  - Default tar format is now ustar, mainly to support longer filenames;
    the tar-v7 and other explicit options to force a particular tar
    format are unchanged and still override the default. (bug#74847)

  - The mdate-sh auxiliary script generally used with Texinfo now uses
    SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, if set, instead of the source file's mtime. (bug#77805)

  - New option dist-bzip3 for bzip3 compression of distributions. (bug#73795)

  - New option --stderr-prefix for tap-driver.sh, to prefix each line of
    stderr from a test script with a given string. (bug#72536)

  - Support for Algol 68 added, based on the GNU Algol 68 compiler. (bug#75807)

* Bugs fixed

  - Do not make Perl warnings fatal, per Perl's recommendation.
    (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2025-01/msg00003.html)

  - Avoid Perl 5.41.8+ precedence warning for use of !!.
    (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2025-01/msg00000.html)

  - a Perl path containing whitespace now emits a warning instead of
    an error, so ./configure PERL='/usr/bin/env perl' can work. (bug#74453)

  - The py-compile script once again does nothing (successfully) if the
    PYTHON environment variable is set to ":", or anything that isn't a
    Python interpreter (according to $PYTHON -V). Exception: if PYTHON
    is set to "false", do nothing but exit unsuccessfully, also to match
    previous behavior. (bug#74434)

  - The no-dist-built-sources Automake option now operates (hopefully) as
    intended, i.e., omits the dependency on $(BUILT_SOURCES) for the
    distdir target. (bug#69908)

  - Only warn about install.sh being found, instead of it being a fatal
    error. (bug#19964)

  - The compile script is more robust to Windows configurations;
    specifically, avoids double-path translation on MSYS. (bug#75939)

  - The test infrastructure sets the CONFIG_SITE environment variable to
    /dev/null, to avoid the local system's Autoconf site defaults from
    breaking the test environment. (bug#76622)

  - AM_SILENT_RULES once again always ends with a newline. (bug#72267)

  - AM_SANITY_CHECK now outputs "no" on failure, so that a complete line
    is written to stdout before the error message is written to stderr.
    (bug#76448)

* Miscellaneous changes

  - Only require the presence of an ABOUT-NLS file at the 'gnits'
    strictness level.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New in 1.17 (2024-07-11):

* New features added

  - AM_PATH_PYTHON will, after checking "python", prefer any Python 3
    version (latest versions checked first) over any Python 2
    version. If a specific version of Python 2 is still needed, the
    $PYTHON variable should be set beforehand.

  - AM_PATH_PYTHON will also search for Python versions 3.20 through 3.10.
    It previously searched for 3.9 through 3.0. (bug#53530)

  - RANLIB may be overridden on a per-target basis.

  - AM_TEXI2FLAGS may be defined to pass extra flags to TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF.

  - New option "posix" to emit the special target .POSIX for make.
    (bug#55025, bug#67891)

  - Systems with non-POSIX "rm -f" behavior are now supported, and the
    prior intent to drop support for them has been reversed.
    The ACCEPT_INFERIOR_RM_PROGRAM setting no longer exists.
    (bug#10828)

  - Variables using escaped \# will trigger portability warnings, but be
    retained when appended.  GNU Make & BSD Makes are known to support it.
    (bug#7610)

  - GNU Make's default pattern rules for RCS and SCCS are disabled, for
    speed and debugging. (.SUFFIXES was already cleared.) (bug#64743)

  - For Texinfo documents, if a .texi.in file exists, but no .texi, the
    .texi.in will be read. Texinfo source files need not be present at
    all, and if present, need not contain @setfilename. Then the file name
    as given in the Makefile.am will be used.  If @setfilename is present,
    it should be the basename of the Texinfo file, extended with .info.
    (bug#54063)

  - aclocal has a new option --aclocal-path to override $ACLOCAL_PATH.
    (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2022-01/msg00029.html)

  - The missing script also supports autoreconf, autogen, and perl.
    (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2015-08/msg00000.html)

  - test-suite.log now contains basic system information, and the
    console message about bug reporting on failure has a bit more detail.
    (bug#68746, bug#71421)

  - When using the (default) "parallel" test driver, you can now omit the
    output of skipped tests from test-suite.log by defining the
    variable IGNORE_SKIPPED_LOGS to a non-empty value. (bug#71422)

* Bugs fixed

  - Generated file timestamp checks handle filesystems with subsecond
    timestamp granularity dynamically, greatly speeding up the sleep
    done by AC_OUTPUT when generating config.status (all packages) and
    Automake's make check.

    However, this subsecond-mtime support requires an autom4te from
    Autoconf 2.72 or later (or random test failures and other timing
    problems may ensue), as well as a Perl, sleep program, make program,
    and filesystem that all support subsecond resolution; otherwise, we
    fall back to a two-second granularity, not even testing the (common)
    1s case since that would induce a 2s delay for all configure scripts
    in all packages on all systems that don't support subsecond mtimes.

    When everything is supported, a line "Features: subsecond-mtime" is
    now printed by automake --version and autom4te --version.

    To override this check and delay, e.g. to use 1 second:
      am_cv_filesystem_timestamp_resolution=1
      export am_cv_filesystem_timestamp_resolution

    history reviewed in
      https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2024-06/msg00054.html
    and more info in surrounding threads.)

  - The default value of $ARFLAGS is now "cr" instead of \ 
"cru", to better
    support deterministic builds. (bug#20082)

  - Automake's make dist now uses -9 instead of --best with gzip,
    because Alpine gzip does not support --best. Also, GZIP_ENV is used
    only for compression, not decompression, because of the same system.
    (bug#68151)

  - Dependency files are now empty, instead of "# dummy", for speed.
    (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2022-05/msg00006.html)

  - Compiling Python modules with Python 3.5+ uses multiple optimization
    levels. (bug#38043)

  - If the Python installation "scheme" is set to posix_local (Debian),
    it is reset to either deb_system (if the prefix = /usr), or
    posix_prefix (otherwise). (bug#54412, bug#64837)

  - As a result of the Python scheme change, the installation directory
    for Python files again defaults to "site-packages" under the usual
    installation prefix, even on systems (generally Debian-based) that
    would normally use the "dist-packages" subdirectory under
    /usr/local.

  - When compiling Emacs Lisp files, emacs is run with --no-site-file to
    disable user config files that might hang or access the terminal;
    and -Q is not used, since its support and behavior varies. (bug#58102)

  - Emacs Lisp compilations respect silent make output.

  - Automake no longer incorrectly warns that the POSIX make variables
    $(*D) and the like are non-POSIX. Unfortunately, the make
    implementations which do not correctly implement all the POSIX
    variables are not detected, but this seems to have little impact
    in practice. (bug#9587)

  - Pass libtool tags OBJC and OBJCXX for the respective languages.
    (bug#67539)

  - distcleancheck ignores "silly rename" files (.nfs* .smb* .__afs*)
    that can show up on network file systems.
    (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2022-09/msg00002.html)

  - Pass any options given to AM_PROG_LEX on to AC_PROG_LEX.
    (bug#65600, bug#65730)

  - aclocal: recognize ; as path separator on OS/2 and Windows. (bug#71534)

  - Hash iterations with external effects now consistently sort keys.
    (bug#25629, bug#46744)

  - tests: avoid some declaration conflicts for lex et al. on SunOS.
    (bug#34151 and others)

  - tests: declare yyparse before use and use (void) parameter lists
    instead of (), to placate C23. (bug#71425)

  - Typos in code and other doc fixes. (bug#68003, bug#68004, et al.)

* Obsolescence:

  - py-compile no longer supports Python 0.x or 1.x versions.  Python 2.0,
    released in 2000, is currently the minimum required version.

Log message:
automake: support python 3.11 to 3.15

Bump PKGREVISION.

Log message:
*: recursive bump for perl 5.36

Log message:
automake: add upstream bug report URL

Log message:
automake: support python 3.10

Needed by e.g. chat/farstream when defaulting to python 3.10.

Log message:
automake: update to 1.16.5.

New in 1.16.5:

* Bugs fixed

  - PYTHON_PREFIX and PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX are now set according to
    Python's sys.* values only if the new configure option
    --with-python-sys-prefix is specified. Otherwise, GNU default values
    are used, as in the past. (The change in 1.16.3 was too incompatible.)

  - consistently depend on install-libLTLIBRARIES.

* Distribution

  - use const for yyerror declaration in bison/yacc tests.
