[PATCH] Sync shared files from Autoconf |
Date: |
Fri, 22 Dec 2023 13:10:12 -0500 |
lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm and lib/Automake/Channels.pm were updated
in Autoconf to address <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?110872>.
Bring over the changes.
It *should* be impossible to reach report_bad_channel from code in Automake.
* lib/Automake/Channels.pm (msg): If the channel argument is invalid,
don’t crash; report the mistake and use the ‘syntax’ channel.
(report_bad_channel): New function for reporting invalid channels.
* lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (usage): Clarify that the list of
warning categories is exhaustive, and that “all”, “none”,
“no-CATEGORY”, and “error” are not warning categories.

Thanks Zack. Installed.
BTW, the automake THANKS file has your panix.com address. Is that still
ok, or should I update it to owlfolio? (Not that it really matters.) -k
