Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: automake1.11-1.11.6-2
To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
Message-Id: <announce.20130802143128.2EC4F6800A0@frontend2.nyi.mail.srv.osa>

Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in's
suitable for use with Autoconf, compliant with the GNU Makefile
standards, and portable to various make implementations. 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.
