Change logs for make-dfsg source package in Xenial

  • make-dfsg (4.1-6) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Satsifiable cross build dependencies: libbsd-resource-perl is only needed
        for running tests. Helmut Grohne <email address hidden>
      * Bug fix: "make-dfsg has unsatisfiable cross build dependendencies in a
        bootstrap setting: libbsd-resource-perl", thanks to Helmut Grohne
        (Closes: #812725).

  • make-dfsg (4.1-5) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * While increasing the timeout is a solution, it still did not work for
        the slower architectures. Reducing the maximum open file descriptor
        limits (only while testing) to try and get the the time under
        control.

  • make-dfsg (4.1-4) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Try to fix this bug. The problem is due to the fopen fail test, where
        we fopen as many files as we can recursively before we run out of file
        descriptors, and ensure that we exit with a failure message. The tests
        times out on some machines. On abel, doubling the timeout was not
        enough, but increasing it to 1200 seconds worked.
      * Bug fix: "make 4.1 ftbfs on armel, armhf, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390x
        (test regressions)", thanks to Matthias Klose (Closes: #811408).

  • make-dfsg (4.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Update the handling of the changed behaviour of ar. The fix in the
        previous version has been rolled back. The new strategy is to narrowly
        change running the test suite to pass in the U modifier to ar, and
        change make to detect and warn the user of they are using the archive
        rule like libxx(*.o) to generate archives, and the archives do not
        contain time stamps. The warning advises the user to explicitly pass
        in the modifier U in the environment variable ARFLAGS, which is
        essentially what we did for the test suite.

  • make-dfsg (4.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream release
      * Updated Standards version to 3.9.6. No changes needed.
      * Updated the VCS-Git field of the control file to use HTTPS transport
      * Updated the copyright file to DEP-5 format.
      * Reverted to source format 1.0 , and use dgit
      * Bug fix: "Typos in manpage", thanks to Josh Triplett
       (Closes: #763147).
      * Bug fix: "[make] make version 4.1 available", thanks to LeJacq, Jean
        Pierre (Closes: #766383).
      * Demote make to priority optional, along with gcc and such. And bump
        make-guile to extra.
      * Bug fix: "Neither make nor make-guile should be standard", thanks to
        Josh Triplett (Closes: #761301).
      * Bug fix: "make instead of make-guile should be standard", thanks to
        Joey Hess (Closes: #762017).
      * Make make and make-guile be Multi-Arch: Allowed packages, since it
        might not be feasible to make make architecture agnostic.
      * Bug fix: "Please add U flag in the default ARFLAGS", thanks to
        Celelibi. I tend to agree, this was a backwards incompatible
        change. Make needs the timestamps to knpow when to update archie
        members, so nuking the timestamps changes behaviour, and remake things
        that need not be remade. This fails the principle of least surprise. I
        added a default -U to the flags make passes to arl (Closes: #798804).

  • make-dfsg (4.0-8.2) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Non-maintainer upload.
      * Use a wrapper in the testsuite for ar to force it to not run in
        deterministic mode (Closes: #782750).
