Rather than reading it dynamically from the ChangeLog -- that,
remember, is only a dummy in a Git checkout! To avoid risking
the definition to get out-of-sync, let's enhance the maintainer
target 'update-copyright' to update it automatically (the same
way it's done in the Automake build system).
* configure.ac (RELEASE_YEAR): New AC_SUBST'd variable.
* cfg.mk (update-release-year): New maintainer-specific target
to automatically update the value of that variable.
(update-copyright): Depend on the new target.
* bin/local.mk (RELEASE_YEAR): Drop definition.
(edit): Simplify quoting of $(RELEASE_YEAR).
* lib/Makefile.am (RELEASE_YEAR): Drop definition.
(m4sugar/version.m4): Simplify quoting of $(RELEASE_YEAR).

Done via 'make update-copyright', since all files are effectively
modified and distributed this year via public version control.
* all files: Update copyright year.
* configure.ac: The Automake NEWS entry for version 1.11 states that
For AC_CONFIG_LINKS, if source and destination are equal, do
not remove the file in a non-VPATH build. Such setups work
with Autoconf 2.62 or newer.
Since our build system requires autoconf >= 2.62 and automake >= 1.11
already, we can get rid of the workaround for that long-fixed bug.
Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
* configure.ac: Require 2.62, and remove obsolescent comments.
We are not imposing an new restriction in doing so, since we already
require Automake 1.11 or later, and that requires Autoconf 2.62.
Simplify code for symlinking of GNUmakefile in VPATH builds, in
accordance with the existing "TODO" comments.

At 2.68b, I asked whether anyone would miss .gz and .bz2 formats.
Consensus was overwhelming that .gz still holds a place in people's
hearts, in spite of .xz compressing to smaller files, but no one
was able to make a convincing argument for .bz2.
* configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Drop bzip2; xz wins hands down.

This reduces the implicit requirement from 5.6.2 back to 5.6,
while raising the explicit requirement to match the actual code.
* configure.ac (PERL): Fail up front if perl is too old.
* NEWS: Document this.
* README: Likewise.
* README-hacking: Likewise.
* lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm: Bump requirement.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm: Relax requirement.
Following the practice set by various other GNU projects, we start
to automatically generate the ChangeLog file from the git commit
messages. This will avoid duplication (as the ChangeLog entries
were always inserted both in the git commit message and in the
version-controlled ChangeLog file), and potential problems with
spurious merge conflicts (which, although greatly mitigated by
Bruno Haible's `git-merge-changelog' helper program, have never
been completely solved).
* ChangeLog: Moved ...
* ChangeLog.3: ... to this.
* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog: New script, synced from gnulib.
* cfg.mk (gnulib-update): Also sync gitlog-to-changelog.
* Makefile.am (gen-ChangeLog): New .PHONY rule, generate the
ChangeLog for distribution.
(dist-hook): Depend on it.
($(srcdir)/ChangeLog): New dummy rule, to pacify automake "gnu"
strictness. Creates a dummy ChangeLog, that will be overridden
by the proper one at distribution time.
(gen_start_date): New variable, the date starting from which the
git log entries are to be copied in the generated ChangeLog.
(EXTRA_DIST): Add ChangeLog.3 and gitlog-to-changelog.
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR): Use 'lib/autoconf/autoconf.m4'
instead of 'ChangeLog' as the sentinel file.
* .gitignore: Add ChangeLog.
* configure.ac (PERL_FLOCK): New substitution variable with test
whether Fcntl::flock is implemented by the system.
* bin/Makefile.am (edit): Substitute @PERL_FLOCK@.
* bin/autom4te.in: Call XFile::lock only if flock is
implemented.

This test makes atlocal code use configure tests instead. This
is best practice and could make diagnosing autoconf bugs easier.

* configure.ac: Test for unsupported characters in files and

produces -, but not always a letter, on non-release builds.

* GNUmakefile: Merge from coreutils.
* Makefile.am (dist-hook): Inject .tarball-version into tarball,
not .version.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Use .tarball-version, not .version.
* build-aux/git-version-gen: Update from gnulib.
Now, each unofficial build has a version "number" like 2.61a-19-58dd,
which indicates that it is built using the 19th change set
(in _some_ repository) following the "v2.61a" tag, and that 58dd
is a prefix of the commit SHA1.
* build-aux/git-version-gen: New file.
* configure.ac: Run it to set the version.
(AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Don't check NEWS here.
* Makefile.am (dist-hook): Arrange so that .version appears only
in distribution tarballs, never in a checked-out repository.
* .gitignore: Add .version here, too. Just in case.
* tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/package.m4): Depend on Makefile,
not configure.ac, now that the version number changes automatically.
Ensure that $(VERSION) is up to date for dist-related targets.
* GNUmakefile: Arrange to rerun autoconf, if the version reported by
git-version-gen doesn't match $(VERSION), but only for dist targets.
