[ITP] autoconf2.7

[ITP] autoconf2.7

[Achim Gratz]

As discussed in another thread, Cygwin should have an autoconf2.7
package going forward.  It builds just out of the box, so here's the ITP
for it.

Playground (based on autotools2.5, I'll cut the old history in the new repo):
https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/?p=git/cygwin-packages/playground.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/autoconf2.7

CI Build:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/cygwin/scallywag/builds/41751127/job/axabuukd3w4xvsy7

I've switched off the tests, they take too long anyway.


Regards,
Achim.

are you taking also over the current packages ?

Just to patch "cygwin-pkg-maint" only one time ;-)

You should probably also adopt and update the autoconf package, which provides 
the ac-wrapper script.  The latest upstream version is at

 
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/plain/sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper/files/ac-wrapper-15.sh

I don't see them getting updated, but if you feel better about it then
let me have them.

I should als get autoconf and autoconf-archive I think, I haven't looked
at the other auto* stuff, but eventually we will need a new automake.
Not sure what automoc is, something for cmake I guess.

Hmm.  That looks wrong, the Gentoo folks rolled both 2.70 and 2.71 into
the WANT_AUTOCONF=2.5 category (which likely works for them).  So yay,
I'll have to patch that.

Since Fedora did basically the same, as Ken pointed out, maybe we're
a bit meticulous if we create a new package for 2.7x?

I don't know how  the experience is in the various environments, but
nobody appears to care...

Well, if we don't, we're SOL if we hit an incompatibility that the Linux
folks don't need to care about…  that was why I originally suggested to
wait it out a bit.

If I look at the changes, many are for "fringe" platforms, so how far
out in the fringes is Cygwin?

No idea.  I cringe at the idea of calling Cygwin a fringe platform.
Now, if you call Cygwin a Gringe platform OTOH :)

Nah, in fact, given we already have the autoconf versioning in place,
it probably doesn't hurt to do it right.

Btw., goldstar request for Achim here!

It turns aout that automake 1.16 has a minro updtae that deals with
autoconf 2.71 stuff.  So please give me automake* as well.

If anybody prefers cygport to default to 2.7, then the "|''" part of the
above patch needs to be moved to the pattern clause for 2.7.

We should do that, IMHO.

I agree, as I already said in a different thread.  Either way, there remains the 
question of how to get cygport patched.  Until that happens, no maintainers can 
use autoconf 2.71 unless they patch cygport locally, and no SCALLYWAG builds can 
use autoconf 2.71.

Yaakov, any chance you would accept a co-maintainer of cygport (Jon Turney seems 
like the obvious choice if he's willing) so that we can move forward on this and 
other patches that have been proposed?
