Also, since we are at it, make grepping + of configure help screens stricter, and throw in some few other + changes to reduce code duplication and enhance readability. + * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. + * THANKS: Update with Zack's new e-mail address. + Report and initial patch by Zack Weinberg, test cases added by + Stefano Lattarini. + +2011-10-23 Stefano Lattarini + + info: allow user to inhibit creation/update of '${infodir}/dir' + With this change, we allow the user to request the install-info + rules not to update the `${infodir}/dir' file, by exporting the + environment variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR' to the value "no". + This is especially useful to distro packagers, and is a definite + improvement over our previous hack of looking whether the + `install-info' program was the Debian or GNU version -- hack + which had been silently broken with recent versions of debian + install-info BTW (probably since dpkg 1.15.4, 2009-09-06). + This change fixes automake bug#9773. See also Debian Bug#543992. + * lib/am/texinfos.am: Don't look anymore at the output of + `install-info --version' to decide whether to use it to update + the `${infodir}/dir' or not; instead, honour the environment + variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR'. + * tests/install-info-dir.test: New test. + * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. + * tests/defs: Also unset `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR', to avoid unwanted + interferences from the environment. + * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Update. + * NEWS: Likewise. + * THANKS: Likewise. + Report by Jonathan Nieder. + 2011-10-20 Stefano Lattarini deps: partially revert commit `v1.11-512-geeee551'
