Change logs for make-dfsg source package in Bionic

  • make-dfsg (4.2.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * New Upsrteam release.
      * New variable: $(.SHELLSTATUS) is set to the exit status of the last != or
        $(shell ...) function invoked in this instance of make.  This will be "0" if
        successful or not "0" if not successful.  The variable value is unset if no
        != or $(shell ...) function has been invoked.
      * The $(file ...) function can now read from a file with $(file <FILE).
        The function is expanded to the contents of the file.  The contents are
        expanded verbatim except that the final newline, if any, is stripped.
      * The makefile line numbers shown by GNU make now point directly to the
        specific line in the recipe where the failure or warning occurred.
        Sample changes suggested by Brian Vandenberg <email address hidden>
      * The interface to GNU make's "jobserver" is stable as documented in the
        manual, for tools which may want to access it.
        WARNING: Backward-incompatibility! The internal-only command line option
        --jobserver-fds has been renamed for publishing, to --jobserver-auth.
      * The amount of parallelism can be determined by querying MAKEFLAGS, even when
        the job server is enabled (previously MAKEFLAGS would always contain only
        "-j", with no number, when job server was enabled).
      * Bug fix: "SIGSEGVs on long parameter", thanks to Marcos Dione (Closes:
        #858647).
