This is the legacy 1.4 version of automake. It is explicitly for use with
older software packages that are not buildable with the current automake.
Automake is an experimental Makefile generator. It was inspired by
the 4.4BSD make and include files, but aims to be portable and to
conform to the GNU standards for Makefile variables and targets.
Automake assumes the project uses autoconf. If you want automatic
dependency tracking support, the use of GNU make is also required.

MASTER_SITES cleanup.
- Replace ${MASTER_SITE_FOO} with FOO.
- Merge MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR into MASTER_SITES when possible. (This means 99.9%
of the time.)
- Remove occurrences of MASTER_SITE_LOCAL when no subdirectory was present and
no hint of what it should be was present.
- Fix some logic.
- And generally, make things more simple and easy to understand.
While there, add magic values to the FESTIVAL, GENTOO, GIMP, GNUPG, QT and
SAMBA macros.
Also, replace some EXTRACT_SUFX occurences with USES=tar:*.

Update to 1.3.8 Changes:
- Plist parser do not accept modes like o+w g+s u+r
- @owner/@group with no argument reset the default ownership to root/wheel
- Plug regression tests into the release mechanism as mandatory
- Allow url in repository configuration to be overriden by another configuration
file
- If one of -P, -I or -R is not explicitly given on the command line do not emit
error messages while searching for a mechanism to find data about the latest
available ports.
- External keywords can now take arguments
- Directories under PREFIX are automatically handled and removed if needed
- MTREE are not packaged anymore neither extracted on final installation
- OS major checking (to determine if pkg is running on an upgraded base system)
uses the same mechanism as ABI detection instead of relying on UNAME_r which
can have false positivie on jails

Reassign the autotools-related ports to a new mailing list,
autotools@FreeBSD.org. This is for individuals willing to put in
the hard work to generate patches and work with portmgr as we put
them through -exp runs and work through port breakage that they
create. (A huge number of ports depend on these, so -exp runs are
required.)
Thanks to aDe@ for all the thankless work he's done over the years
to tame these beasts.

Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script.
Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the
configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET
instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.
To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.
To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.
Changes to Mk/*:
- Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order. The code present
in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt
which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.
Light blue touch-paper. Run.

The versioned autotools are now strictly for building other ports in the tree.
Likewise, the gnu- autotools are for runtime dependencies for IDEs, and others,
where unmodified cross-platform capabilities are desired.
All that we see or seem, is but a dream, within a dream.
Take back maintainership. I'll be scouring the PR database shortly,
if I miss any, or someone beats me to it, please feel free to reassign
appropriately.

. Change pre-install to pre-su-install since the target performs privileged
operations. This makes these ports installable by users other than root.

Relinquish maintainership. I no longer have the time, energy,
or interest to look after these things any more.
To whomever picks these up, I salute you. I'll reset the relevant
PRs to ports-bugs in a couple of weeks if no-one has taken over
maintainership.
Farewell, autotool hell.
Set some DEPRECATED and EXPIRATION_DATE knobs to indicate overall intention
of the autotools project to remove all but the latest versions of
libtool, autoconf, and automake, by 31st December 2004.
Note that autoconf259 and automake18 aren't yet accessible through the
relevant USE_* knobs, but will be as soon as bsd.autotools.mk comes into
existence.
Use the cosmetic BUILD_VERSION variable (a la libtool), switch portnames
away from using the version number twice.
Unbreak automake17, base on work from Rui Lopes <rui@ruilopes.com>

Thank you for your contributions, you
will be greatly missed.
Remove the StUdLyCaPs from maintainer name, 'cause some folks won't realize
mail's case insensitive and will try to type that. Sorry folks, purely a
cosmetic change here, nothing to see, move along, move along....
1. Bumped portrevision (yes, again, sorry for the thrash).
2. Fixed bug that Knu pointed out, which was the bad dirs were captured
in bsd.port.mk (to be fixed RSN, in testing now). Fixed with the magic
of ... symlinks! (I always thought symlinks to . were lame, and they are,
but sometimes they can get you out of a corner. Temporarily.)
3. The question is, will anything break trying to recursively go down the
tree following symlinks? If so, that tool needs to be fixed. A symlink
to '.' (or '..') just plain should not be followed.
Bottom line is, AUTOCONF_DIR, AUTOMAKE_DIR, & ACLOCAL_DIR work again.
As a side effect of this fix, you can now download the entire internet
onto 1 floppy disk.
1. Made post-install DESTDIR-safe.
2. Made install put files in the RIGHT place (no extra level of dirs;
changing 'datadir' is not the right thing to do).
3. Made nice exit when you have USE_AUTOMAKE* defined.
4. Renamed patch files so I can tell what they do.
5. Portrevision bump => 3.
1. Fixed the PR mentioned below, submitted by <below>.
2. perl -pi ==> ${REINPLACE_CMD}. Add USE_REINPLACE=yes.
3. @ some more Makefile commands so it doesn't talk quite so much.
4. Bumped PORTREVISION because of wanting to get Fix (1) out there.

Due to popular demant into each port which might be inserted into dependency
list by bsd.port.mk insert anti foot-shooting device, which prevents
infinite fork loop when the user defines corresponding USE_XXX in global
make.conf, command line or environment.
Similar devices should probably be inserted into ports that might be inserted
into dependency list by others bsd.foo.mk files (bsd.ruby.mk, bsd.python.mk
and so on.)
Stage a mini-coup, and borrow these ports from portmgr@ for a while,
since I'm doing most of the updating, and am working on a
port/Mk/bsd.<gnublah>.mk to move some cruft around.

This was repo copied from the 'automake' port to give us a legacy version.
automake14 can live beside the latest 'automake', and is invoked specifically
as 'automake14'.
