Hopefully 1.15.1 was already a good sign of life. :) The commit fixing this bug you are referring to has been made in 2015, so I agree it should be released soon. I expect to release 1.16 before the end of the year. > I just used ftp to ftp.gnu.org and used 'ls -ltr' of the > /pub/gnu/automake directory to check upload dates and see that the > latest Automake is 1.15.1 dated June 19, 2017.

The bugfix was pushed in "minor" branch (for 1.16 release) because it was considered by previous maintainer as adding an extra feature. As a consequence Automake 1.15.1 which was a "micro" release didn't include it. Thanks. -- Mathieu Lirzin GPG: F2A3 8D7E EB2B 6640 5761 070D 0ADE E100 9460 4D37
