Updated: automake1.11-1.11.3-1


Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in's
suitable for use with Autoconf, compliant with the GNU Makefile
standards, and portable to various make implementations. This is
the first release in the automake-1.11 release series, and contains
the latest version of automake system, automake-1.11.

This is a routine update to the latest upstream version.

This cygwin package, automake1.11, can be installed without conflict
alongside the existing automake1.10, automake1.9, automake1.8,
automake1.7, automake1.6, automake1.5, and automake1.4 cygwin packages.

1.11.3: that we plan to introduce in the next major and minor versions,
1.11.3: and some bugfixes.
1.11.3: 
1.11.3: This release is almost backward-compatible with older versions,
1.11.3: but for the fact that some deprecated constructs and usages

1.11.3: use.

Testsuite results:
=======================================================
12 of 901 tests failed
(37 tests were not run)
See tests/test-suite.log

Testsuite Details:
=====================================
FAIL: depcomp2.test  [1]
FAIL: depcomp8b.test    [2]
FAIL: extradep2.test    [2]
FAIL: fort4.test     [3]
FAIL: fort5.test        [2]
FAIL: libtoo10.test     [2]
FAIL: libtoo11.test     [2]
FAIL: ltinit.test       [2]
FAIL: ltlibsrc.test     [2]
FAIL: pr401b.test       [2]
FAIL: subobj9.test      [2]
FAIL: txinfo21.test  [4]

[1] race condition in configure (rm: cannot remove `conftest.exe': Device
    or resource busy). Note that any failures of this sort will typically
    not recur if the affected test is simply run again.
[2] cp: failed to preserve ownership for `depcomp8b-1.0/ltmain.sh':
    Permission denied.  Note that if these tests are re-run under ann
    Administrator account, they will pass.
[3] An odd platform issue with cygwin, g77 (from gcc-g77-3.4.4-999) and
    gfortran (from gcc4-fortran-4.5.3-3).  Test deliberately uses BOTH
    compilers in the same program, which doesn't appear to work on cygwin
    due to a change in the startup objects used/required by the two
    versions.
[4] Apparently a timestamp updating issue.

So, at worst, there are really only 2 actual test failures out of 901:
  fort4.test
  txinfo21.test
