Make used to only use the search path for nodes that were pure
sources (not targets of other sources). This has been corrected
and now gnu-autoconf generated Makefiles work in directories other
than the source one.
- Suffix transformation rescanning:
Suffix transformations (.c.o:; cc ...) were only recognized in
the past when both suffixes were members of the suffix list.
Thus a sequence like:
.z.b:
echo ${.TARGET}
.SUFFIXES: .z
would cause .z.b: to be inserted as a regular target (and the main
target in this case). Other make programs always add rules that
start with a period in the transformation list and never consider
them as targets. We cannot do that (consider .depend files) so we
resort to scanning the list of the current targets every time a
suffix gets added, and we mutate existing targets that are now
valid transformation rules into transformation rules. If the
transformed target was also the main target, we set the main target
to be the next target in the targets list.
I.e. if you had a line in your Makefile:
../foo.o: foo.c
`..' would be added in the search path. The addition of such paths has
been now disabled. If a pathname contains a slash, then the directory
where such a file is found is not added to the search path. Of course
this eliminates most (all?) use of this function.
* differentiate between being connected, and being logged in
* cleanup some text messages
* support username & password ftp URLs (ftp://user:pass@host/) in non-proxy
situations; assume proxy supports it for proxy situations.
* cd to / before performing any autofetch transfers
* use strncasecmp in URL parsing. fix from <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com>
("MSDOSFS mount" is too big for %12s).
Note that this breaks naive parser scripts, but they would not parse
the earlier "MSDOSFS mount" line correctly, anyway.
* add "more" & "less" as synonyms for "page"
* move editline setup code into controlediting(), and call appropriately.
only setup setup terminal if going into interactive mode. inspired
