This package contains the latest version of automake 1.11 system, automake-1.11.6. This is a routine packaging update. This cygwin package, automake1.11, can be installed without conflict alongside the existing automake1.14 ... automake1.12, and automake1.10 ... automake1.4 cygwin packages. CHANGES SINCE 1.11.6-1 ====================================================================== * Rely on cygport to autogenerate setup.hints * Update config.sub/config.guess to latest standard (supports cygwin64) * Use 'alternatives' only for documentation; rely on wrapper to handle the tools themselves. * First cygwin64 release CHANGES (excerpts from upstream announcement): ====================================================================== 1.11.6: This message announces the Automake 1.11.6 bug-fixing 1.11.6: release. 1.11.6: 1.11.6: This release FIXES A SECURITY VULNERABILITY (CVE-2012-3386), 1.11.6: so you are strongly encouraged to upgrade your existing 1.11.6: Automake installation ASAP. 1.11.6: 1.11.6: With this release, the recipe of the 'distcheck' target no 1.11.6: longer grants temporary world-wide write permissions on the 1.11.6: extracted distdir. Even if such rights were only granted for 1.11.6: a vanishingly small time window, the implied race condition 1.11.6: proved to be enough to allow a local attacker to run arbitrary 1.11.6: code with the privilegesof the user running "make distcheck". 1.11.6: 1.11.6: The fix of this security vulnerability is the only change 1.11.6: between the earlier 1.11.5 release and the present 1.11.6 one. 1.11.6: 1.11.6: See the original release announcement for details. 1.11.6: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-07/msg00021.html Testsuite results: ======================================================= cyg32| 2 of 910 tests failed cyg32| (41 tests were not run) cyg64| 5 of 913 tests failed cyg64| (38 tests were not run) ======================================================= Testsuite Details: ===================================== both| FAIL: compile_f90_c_cxx.test Looks like a bug in the test. It expects a copy of config.guess/config.sub in the testing directory, but never copies it there nor runs automake with --add-missing. cyg32|FAIL: lzma.test Seems to be a bug in our version of lzma (from xz-5.02). It reports "lzma: (stdin): Cannot allocate memory" whenever an attempt is made to compress a stdio stream. (64bit lzma.exe is newer). cyg64|FAIL: vala-vapi.test cyg64|FAIL: vala-vpath.test cyg64|FAIL: vala-mix.test cyg64|FAIL: vala-mix2.test In each case, these tests are skipped on cyg32 (no vala installed). The failure appears to be a mismatch between the expectations of the test and the capabilities of my vala: Any attempt to actally launch valac reports: "error: Unknown profile posix" I'm really not too concerned about these failures, since they all appear to be (a) bugs in the testsuite, or (b) bugs in other programs. -- Charles Wilson volunteer automake maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
