Subject: autoconf-doc: Error in AC_COMPILE_IFELSE documentation

Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2005 13:21:22 +0200

Package: autoconf-doc
Version: 2.59-3
Severity: minor

The info documentation says:

 - Macro: AC_COMPILE_IFELSE (INPUT, [ACTION-IF-FOUND],
          [ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND])
     Run the compiler and compilation flags of the current language
     (*note Language Choice::) on the INPUT, run the shell commands
     ACTION-IF-TRUE on success, ACTION-IF-FALSE otherwise.  The INPUT
     can be made by `AC_LANG_PROGRAM' and friends.

"ACTION-IF-FOUND" should be replaced by "ACTION-IF-TRUE" and
"ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND" should be replaced by "ACTION-IF-FALSE".

Or better: ACTION-IF-SUCCESS and ACTION-IF-FAILURE respectively
everywhere. Same problem with AC_LINK_IFELSE.

Description: 
 autoconf-doc - automatic configure script builder documentation
Closes: 179086 298504 325861 372179 376838 401648 447861
Changes: 
 autoconf-nonfree (2.63-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New maintainer with the permission of the previous maintainer.
   * New upstream release.  (Closes: #447861)
     - info autoconf now goes to the top of the manual.  (Closes: #401648)
     - The requirement of special handling of $@ in configure.ac scripts is
       now documented.  (Closes: #372179)
     - AC_PATH_XTRA works differently in current versions of Autoconf and
       the documentation now correctly reflects that.  (Closes: #298504)
     - The AC_COMPILE_IFELSE synopsis uses more accurate argument names.
       (Closes: #325861)
     - autoheader AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED limitations with non-literal symbols
       are now documented.  (Closes: #179086)
   * Build PDF and PostScript versions of the Autoconf manual in addition
     to info and HTML, and add the required build dependencies.
   * Depend on gnu-standards and symlink the standards PDF and HTML files
     so that document links work properly.  (Closes: #376838)
   * Install upstream AUTHORS and THANKS files.
   * Update the README.Debian to warn that this manual may not always match
     the separately-maintained autoconf package and to strengthen the
     pointer to the autotools-dev documentation.
   * Rewrite the doc-base configuration file.
     - Change the document ID to just autoconf.
     - Expand the abstract based on the upstream manual introduction.
     - Update the doc-base section.
     - Add the info, PDF, and PostScript formats.
   * Rewrite the long package description and remove details that are more
     appropriate for the main autoconf package.
   * Add a Homepage control field.
   * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser control fields.
   * Remove suggest of autobook, which is no longer in Debian.
   * Remove suggest of autoconf and autoconf-archive.  These packages are
     related but don't add additional functionality to the documentation
     and hence in my opinion don't qualify for Suggests.
   * Remove ancient Conflicts.
   * Move the source package into the same section as the binary package
     and remove the redundant Section and Priority fields from the binary
     package.
   * Add a watch file.
   * Update debhelper compatibility level to V7.
     - Use debhelper rule minimization with override targets.
     - Use debian/info instead of debian/install to install the info files,
       avoiding the need to pass arguments to dh_installinfo.
   * Rewrite debian/copyright to use the proposed new format.
     - Add an explicit (public domain) license for the packaging.
     - Add the required disclaimer for why this package is in non-free.
   * Update standards version to 3.8.1 (no changes required).
