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. |

-*- text -*- Autoconf Autoconf is an extensible package of M4 macros that produce shell scripts to automatically configure software source code packages. These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the operating system features that the package can use, in the form of M4 macro calls. Producing configuration scripts using Autoconf requires GNU M4 and Perl. You should install GNU M4 (version 1.4.6 or later is required; 1.4.14 or later is recommended) and Perl (5.005_03 or later) before configuring Autoconf, so that Autoconf's configure script can find them. The configuration scripts produced by Autoconf are self-contained, so their users do not need to have Autoconf (or GNU M4, Perl, etc.). You can get GNU M4 here: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/ The file INSTALL should be distributed with packages that use Autoconf-generated configure scripts and Makefiles that conform to the GNU coding standards. The package's README can just give an overview of the package, where to report bugs, and a pointer to INSTALL for instructions on compilation and installation. This removes the need to maintain many similar sets of installation instructions. Be sure to read BUGS and INSTALL. Mail suggestions to autoconf@gnu.org, report bugs to bug-autoconf@gnu.org, and submit patches to autoconf-patches@gnu.org. All changes can be tracked at the read-only autoconf-commit@gnu.org. Always include the Autoconf version number, which you can get by running `autoconf --version'. Archives of bug-autoconf@gnu.org can be found in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/>, and similarly for the other mailing lists.
