With highly parallel "make syntax-check", sc_Wundef_boolean's
in_files='config.h' was matched as an unanchored, unescaped regex
by "find | grep -E", so the '.' matched any character and the lack
of anchoring matched anywhere in a path. This made it match the
.sc-start-sc_*config_h* marker files created by parallel rules.
Symptom: I saw see these go by:
grep: ./.sc-start-sc_require_config_h_first: No such file or directory
grep: ./.sc-start-sc_prohibit_have_config_h: No such file or directory
grep: ./.sc-start-sc_require_config_h: No such file or directory
* top/maint.mk (sc_Wundef_boolean): Use '(^|/)config\.h$' rather
than bare 'config.h' as the in_files ERE.
* top/maint.mk (web-manual): Propagate MAKEINFO explicitly,
rather than requiring it exported in the environment,
which can be awkward on Solaris make for example.
* top/maint.mk (sc_unsigned_char, sc_unsigned_short, sc_unsigned_int,
sc_unsigned_log): Add ‘exclude’ patterns so that these tests do not
throw a false positive on their own commentary.
Copyright-paperwork-exempt: Yes

<https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-gnulib/2025-11/msg00127.html>.
* top/maint.mk (NEWS_file): Default to NEWS.md when present.
(news-check-regexp, news-check-regexp-prev): Accept headings marked
with either '#' or '*'.
(gl_noteworthy_news_): Default to a #-heading in place of
a *-heading when NEWS_file name implies Markdown.
(release-prep): Consistently prefer test over [.
Signed-off-by: Simon Josefsson <simon@josefsson.org>
* top/maint.mk (gl_noteworthy_news_): Make overridable.
(news-check-regexp-prev, NEWS_file, release_commit_args): New
overridable variables.
(NEWS_hash, sc_immutable_NEWS, update-NEWS-hash, news-check)
(announcement, release-commit, emit-commit-log): Use them.
(release-prep): Ditto. Search for news-check-regexp within
news-check-lines-spec instead of hard-coding line 3.
* top/maint.mk (update-NEWS-hash): Use AM_V_GEN.
(gpgv): Detect gpgv2 via 'command -v'; calling it directly results
in several 'gpgv2: command not found' messages.
Adjust so that `make coverage` completes for coreutils.
There is no coverage for lib/parse-datetime.y
but everything else is fine.
* top/maint.mk (COVERAGE_CCOPTS): Since we're overriding CFLAGS,
add -Wno-error to relax warning requirements. Projects usually default
to -O2, and changing from that can very well induce new warnings.
(build-coverage, gen-coverage): Keep going on non-fatal errors.
* top/maint.mk (sc_Wundef_boolean): Allow false and true in C
macro definiens. C23 requires support for false and true, and the
‘bool’ module makes it easy to support this in older compilers.
* top/bootstrap-funclib.sh (autogen): Don't pass unnecessary -I's when
invoking autoreconf. The order of M4 include directories is reflected
in Makefile.in content. Our GNUmakefile _version rule invoke
autoreconf without any extra -I, and this difference in how autoreconf
is invoked results in different tarballs for "make dist" vs "make
release" which is undesirable.

* top/bootstrap-funclib.sh (normalize_package_name): New variable.
(extract_package_name): Don't normalize the package name here.
(package): Also look at the first argument of a gl_INIT_PACKAGE
invocation.
* build-aux/bootstrap: Regenerated.
* doc/package-version.texi: New file.
* doc/gnulib.texi (Build Infrastructure Modules): Include it.
* build-aux/git-version-gen: Fix comments: Fix description of
.tarball-version. Recommend to invoke git-version-gen at configure time,
not at autoconf time. Remove description of .version. Rename Makefile
target 'tarball-version' to 'dist-tarball-version'.
* top/GNUmakefile: Improve comments.
* top/maint.mk (gnulib-version): Prefix commit id with human
readable leading ChangeLog date, suggested by Bruno Haible.
(announcement): Handle multi-word gnulib-version.
* top/maint.mk (gnulib-version): Use git only when possible,
falling back to GNULIB_REVISION or ChangeLog date otherwise. Use
consistent full identifier.
* top/bootstrap-funclib.sh (prepare_GNULIB_SRCDIR): Improve if/else
structure and comments. When cloning GNULIB_REFDIR and no submodule
'gnulib' is configured, switch to the default branch.
* top/bootstrap (usage): Update documentation.
* build-aux/bootstrap: Regenerated.
* top/bootstrap-funclib.sh: Avoid "cd". This saves a few
subprocesses and is more likely to yield diagnostics that make
sense to the user.
* build-aux/bootstrap: Regenerate.
* top/bootstrap-funclib.sh (prepare_GNULIB_SRCDIR):
When cloning GNULIB_REFDIR and no submodule 'gnulib' is configured,
set the origin’s URL to $gnulib_url and fetch from remote,
so that GNULIB_REFDIR is merely an accelerant rather than
having different semantics.
* build-aux/bootstrap: Regenerate.
* top/bootstrap-funclib.sh (prepare_GNULIB_SRCDIR):
Use GNULIB_REFDIR also when a submodule 'gnulib' is not configured.
This greatly speeds up bootstrapping Octave when using
‘./bootstrap --gnulib-refdir=...’.
* build-aux/bootstrap: Regenerate.
* lib/mntent.in.h: New file.
* m4/mntent_h.m4: New file.
* modules/mntent: New file.
* doc/glibc-headers/mntent.texi: Mention the new module.
* top/maint.mk (gl_prefer_angle_bracket_headers_): Add mntent.h.
* doc/gnulib-tool.texi (Style of #include statements): Add mntent.h to
the list.
