Karl [on behalf of the automake developers] ============================================================================= New in 1.18.1 (2025-06-25): * Bugs fixed - Undo change to mdate-sh; once again, it does not look at SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. This change was a misunderstanding that causes problems, not fixes, for reproducible builds. (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2025-06/msg00021.html) - Improve debuggability of installcheck failures.

First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify automake-1.18.1.tar.gz.sig The signature should match the fingerprint of the following key: pub rsa2048 2012-06-12 [SC] 17D3 311B 14BC 0F24 8267 BF02 0716 748A 30D1 55AD uid Karl Berry <k...@freefriends.org> If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, or that public key has expired, try the following commands to retrieve or refresh it, and then rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. gpg --recv-keys 0x17D3311B14BC0F248267BF020716748A30D155AD As a last resort to find the key, you can try the official GNU keyring: wget -q https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-keyring.gpg gpg --keyring gnu-keyring.gpg --verify automake-1.18.1.tar.gz.sig This release is based on the automake git repository, available as git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/automake.git with commit 153298e27fa9414b25453440a2f36e1bb7bedfc1 tagged as v1.18.1. For a summary of changes and contributors, see: https://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=shortlog;h=v1.18.1 or run this command from a git-cloned automake directory: git shortlog v1.18..v1.18.1
