[arch-dev-public] [signoff] m4-1.4.11-1
new version in testing for both arches. please signoff. -Andy * Noteworthy changes in Version 1.4.11 (2008-04-02) [stable] Released by Eric Blake, based on git version 1.4.10a ** Security fixes for the -F option, for bugs present since -F was introduced in 1.3: Avoid core dump with 'm4 -F file -t undefined', and avoid arbitrary code execution with certain file names. ** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.9b in the `divert' builtin when more than 512 kibibytes are saved in diversions on platforms like NetBSD or darwin where fopen(name,"a+") seeks to the end of the file. ** The output of the `maketemp' and `mkstemp' builtins is now quoted if a file was created. This is a minor security fix, because it was possible (although rather unlikely) that an unquoted string could match an existing macro name, such that use of the `mkstemp' output would trigger inadvertent macro expansion and operate on the wrong file name. ** Enhance the `defn' builtin to support concatenation of multiple text arguments, as required by POSIX. However, at this time, it is not possible to concatenate a builtin macro with anything else; a warning is now issued if this is attempted, although a future version of M4 may lift this restriction to match other implementations. ** Enhance the `format' builtin to parse all C99 floating point numbers, even on platforms where strtod(3) is buggy, although the replacement function does have the known issue of rounding errors when parsing some decimal floating point values. This fixes testsuite failures introduced in 1.4.9b. ** Enhance the `index' builtin to guarantee linear behavior, in spite of the surprisingly large number of systems with a brain-dead quadratic strstr(3). ** A number of portability improvements inherited from gnulib.

I've build some stuff and autoconf and all that good m4 based stuff seems to be functional still. I'll signoff on both arches

Nothing has broke here yet, so I'll signoff as well for i686. -Dan
