* Updated Standards version to 3.9.6. No changes needed.
* Updated the VCS-Git field of the control file to use HTTPS transport
* Updated the copyright file to DEP-5 format.
* Reverted to source format 1.0 , and use dgit
* Bug fix: "Typos in manpage", thanks to Josh Triplett
(Closes: #763147).

make-dfsg (4.0-8) unstable; urgency=high
* Update the timeout for the fopen fail test to 300 seconds, since the
test was taking longer than the default 5 seconds to run. The root
cause was discovered by Víctor M. Jáquez L. (Closes: #748657)
* Bug fix #748657: "make-dfsg failed to run test: work/misc/fopen-fail.mk",
thanks to Yunqiang Su.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Fri, 13 Jun 2014 15:54:27 -0700
make-dfsg (4.0-7) unstable; urgency=low
* 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).
* added a script that, given a list of targets, will build the first
target that actually exists. Script created by Joey Hess.
(Closes: #598534).
* Bug fix #747764: "make 4.0-5 bug", thanks to Юрий Матронов
* Bug fix #598534: "add make-first-existing-target", thanks to Joey Hess
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Tue, 13 May 2014 18:22:39 -0700
make-dfsg (4.0-6) unstable; urgency=medium
* Also create a new binary package, make-guile, which is identical to
the make package, but has built in support for Guile a a programming
langiage, and adds run time dependencies outside of libc.
(Closes: #747615, #747674).
* Bug fix #747615: "Please provide a version with Guile support
enabled", thanks to Jose Antonio Ortega Ruiz
* Bug fix #747674: "undeterministic build due to missing configure
arguments/build-conflicts", thanks to Bernhard R. Link
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Sun, 11 May 2014 20:51:24 -0700
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
* Bug fix #682895: "incorrect variable handling and corruption", thanks
to Tim Spriggs

make-dfsg (4.0-3) experimental; urgency=medium
* Cherry pick upstream patch to Propagate correct rule status results.
* Bug fix: "New make behaviour confuses dpkg-buildpackages&#39; test for
make targets". Fixed by above. (Closes: #746443).
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Thu, 01 May 2014 22:09:08 -0700

make-dfsg (3.81-6) unstable; urgency=low

Update and trim the package description.
Bug fix: "improving the package description", thanks to Justin B Rye

* [debian:586087b]: [make-dfsg]: Use autoreconf to refresh the build system.
Bug fix: "FTBFS: Outdated config.{sub,guess}", thanks to Bradley Smith

make-dfsg (3.81-4) unstable; urgency=low
* NMU ack. double free or corruption bug on file globbing, 419190.
* Bug fix: "make: Directory Search for Link Libraries does not look in
/usr/local/lib", thanks to Daniel Barlow. In the Debian binaries,
PREFIX is /usr and thus this searches /lib, /usr/lib and /usr/lib
again and therefore misses any libraries that are not packaged and
were installed by the site admin. The ideal behaviour would be to
have the search path set by a Makefile variable (other than the VPATH
blunt object) but even absent that, it would be more useful if it
looked in /usr/local/lib even though make itself hasn't been installed
in the /usr/local tree. Closes: Bug#288592
* Bug fix: "make: make should suggest make-doc not make-doc-non-dfsg
which is a source package", thanks to lukpank@o2.pl (Łukasz Pankowski)

make-dfsg (3.80+3.81.rc2-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release candidate.
* Bug fix: "Make always recompiles everything in the Linux Kernel.",
thanks to Neil Brown. This is really a bug in the kernel build system,
not make. However, this release defers the change so as not to trigger
the bug. (Closes: #356552, #356630).

* Bug fix: "FTBFS due to timestamp skews", thanks to Loïc Minier
Use MAINTAINER_MODE instead. (Closes: #343069).
* Bug fix: "make: Missing information about backward-incompatibility",
thanks to Vincent Lefevre. As Ken Bloom pointed out, the correct
section is command execution. (Closes: #343088).
* Since there is a new texinfo.tex we use now, no longer remove it,
since autoreconf shall fail if that file is missing.

correctly", thanks to Jeff Sheinberg. This has been fixed in this release.
(http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=1332) (Closes: #59311).
* Bug fix: "make: bogus output of make -np", thanks to P<>sztorSzil<69>rd I
believe this bug is the result of a known, rare, and already-fixed
problem with the parser that occurs if a line is exactly the right
length. (Closes: #117566).

make (3.80-12) unstable; urgency=low
* Bug fix: "FTBFS: DVI file cannot be opened", thanks to Matt Kraai. It
seemed odd to me that the buildd's do not seem to have a problem. On
investigation, if one does an apt-get source make,
./config/texinfo.tex is still there: merely removing it from my
working tree does not remove it from the unpacked, patched source
tree, since diff merely ignores file deletions. I worked for me, since
the file was actually gone from my working dir; it worked on buildd's,
since they never remake the arch independent parts. So, now we
aggressively delete ./config/texinfo.tex all through the build and
clean process. (Closes: #334953).

* Bug fix: "make: some options missing from manpage", thanks to Martin
Pool. This also was previously raised in #233474. I added a note to
the man page stating that the list of options is a partial list, and
pointed to the info docs for an authoritative list. (Closes: #243845).
* Bug fix: "make: German l10n: Updating po/de.po", thanks to Florian
Ernst (Closes: #244119).

* make_3.80-5(ia64/unstable): FTBFS: missing build-depends?, Actually,
no. I got bitten by the non support of build-deps-indep again. I have
now duplicated the indep dependencies into build depends, so this
should now work.
* Added an explanation for the behaviour of make, which demonstrates
that the dry-run of double colon rules and the behaviour of multi
target rules is expected behaviour.
* Bug fix: "make: strange behavior with multi-target rules", thanks to
Ian Zimmerman. Not a bug, as documented in the explanations file
referred to above. (Closes: #218367).

-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Sat, 5 Jul 2003 15:38:10 -0500
make (3.80-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version with various bugs fixed.
* This bug was forwarded back to make, but make had already been
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.

* added upstream location to the description.
* The upstream author has clarified that the behaviour described is not
a bug, but a consciously chosen tone. Theere is a workaround to this
problem: (put the "include b.mak" _inside_ of the a.mak file, so that
GNU make won't see it until after it includes a.mak, whereupon it will
also know how to build b.mak). closes: Bug#62051

make (3.79.1-11) unstable; urgency=low
* Add a build dependency on texinfo, without which info files were not
being provided on all architectures. closes: Bug#124165
* When make gets ready to build a target, it evaluates all commands
needed to build that target at once, before the first line is
invoked. Thus the behaviour displayed is not a bug closes: Bug#119663
* All variable and function expansion for targets and prerequisite lists
occurs when the makefile is read in, well before any sort of pattern
expansion occurs; so these functions are operating on the static
string "%", not the string it will expand to after pattern matching.

* A bug in autoconf made make setgid kmem. That opens up /dev/kmem and
/dev/mem to make processes in a mistaken assumption that one needs to

built with a modified autoconf not to do that, and as a precaution
does not install make setgid kmem.

make (3.79.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release. closes: Bug#67862
* .SECONDARY with no prerequisites now prevents any target from being
removed because make thinks it's an intermediate file, not just those
listed in the makefile.
* New configure option --disable-nsec-timestamps will keep make from
using sub-second timestamps on systems which support it. If your
build process depends on proper timestamp-preserving behavior of tools
like "cp -p" you might need this option, since "cp -p" (right now)
doesn't preserve the sub-second portion of the timestamp.

make (3.79-1) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.

-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Wed, 23 Sep 1998 14:32:08 -0500
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).

-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Fri, 3 Oct 1997 11:53:45 -0500
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.
