Problem with jisx2131-filter reported by Phillip Lord in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2019-06/msg00147.html
* admin/charsets/Makefile.in (SED_SCRIPT):
Put it in $(srcdir), which is not necessarily the working directory.
($(SED_SCRIPT)): Rename from jisx2131-filter.  All uses changed.
(clean): Do not remove SED_SCRIPT.
(extraclean): Remove it here instead.
* make-dist (possibly_non_vc_files): Remove src/emacs-module.h.
Although it is portable and could be distributed in the tarball,
it's too much hassle to do that, so let each builder make it.

* INSTALL, INSTALL.REPO, admin/make-tarball.txt:
Mention ‘make check’.
* configure.ac: Update comment.
* etc/NEWS: Say that tarballs have a test directory.
* make-dist (with_tests): Default to "yes".
Add an option --no-tests to make it "no".

The hassles of updating the dmpstruct.h-using code bit me again.
These updates are more trouble than they’re worth.  See:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2019-03/msg00122.html
As I’m the main person who’s made changes in this area since
dmpstruct.h was introduced, I’m the most motivated to clean up
the situation.
* make-dist (possibly_non_vc_files): Remove src/dmpstruct.h.
* src/Makefile.in (dmpstruct_headers, dmpstruct.h): Remove.
(pdumper.o): Do not depend on dmpstruct.h.
(mostlyclean): Do not remove dmpstruct.h.
* src/dmpstruct.awk: Remove.
* src/pdumper.c: Do not include dmpstruct.h.
(CHECK_STRUCTS): Remove.  All uses removed.

This prevents the manifest cluttering up the build tree,
and possibly getting stale if --no-update is used.

This file was removed two years ago in 2f893509.
No need to merge to master.

Simplify make-dist maintenance by having it generate its
list of files more automatically.  Put the list of distributed
files into a file MANIFEST that can be used in the unusual
situations when you’re making a distribution without having
access to a Git repository.
* make-dist (top_level_ChangeLog): Now nonempty if the
distribution tarball will contain a ChangeLog, instead of
being nonempty when a ChangeLog is requested, Git is present
and a readable ChangeLog exists.  The new interpretation makes
the script a bit easier to follow.
(possibly_non_vc_files, info_files, mkdir_verbose)
(file_to_skip, MANIFEST_subdir_sed, tempsubdirs):
New variables.
(MANIFEST): Update and use this file, which now records what
files are distributed.
(top_level, subdir, files, file): Remove.

Run 'TZ=UTC0 admin/update-copyright $(git ls-files)'.

Prompted by /tmp/out existing and being owned by another user.

Problem reported by Glenn Morris in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2018-04/msg00307.html
* make-dist (top_level_ChangeLog): New var.  Use it to link
top-level ChangeLog only when desired.

* make-dist: Do a better job checking for subprocess failure.

Problem reported by Glenn Morris in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2018-03/msg00984.html
* make-dist: Use --sort=name only if Tar supports it.

* admin/make-tarball.txt: Make the tarballs more reproducible.
Fix instructions for web pages as best I can (they are still
incomplete).
* make-dist (default_gzip): Add --no-name for gzip.
(taropt): Add options to make the build more reproducible.

Run admin/update-copyright.

Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November.  Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead.  Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP.  Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.

Its /bin/sh builtin ‘test’ command does not support -e.
* autogen.sh, build-aux/git-hooks/pre-commit:
* build-aux/gitlog-to-emacslog, make-dist:
Use test -r, not test -e.

* make-dist: No longer distribute test/data/emacs-module/Makefile.

* Makefile.in (mostlyclean, clean, maybeclean_dirs, distclean)
(bootstrap-clean, maintainer-clean):
Clean ‘test’, not ‘test/automated’.  Test for existence of
subdirectory only for ‘test’, not for directories that should
always exist.
* admin/MAINTAINERS, etc/TODO, lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el:
* lisp/emacs-lisp/seq.el, lisp/emacs-lisp/thunk.el:
* lisp/man.el (Man-parse-man-k):
* lisp/url/url-domsuf.el, make-dist:
* test/file-organization.org:
Fix obsolete references to test/automated.

Emacs assumes GNU Make, and GNU Make has much of the functionality of
Automake built-in.  The Emacs build process uses Automake primarily
because Emacs uses some Gnulib code and Gnulib formerly required
Automake.  Now that Gnulib no longer requires Automake, Emacs can
stop using Automake and this should simplify Emacs maintenance
in the future (Bug#26100).  Although this patch may look long, most of
it is generated automatically: the changes to build-aux/config.guess,
build-aux/config.sub, build-aux/install-sh, and lib/gnulib.mk.in are
all done by admin/merge-gnulib.
* .gitignore: Remove build-aux/ar-lib, build-aux/compile,
build-aux/config.guess, build-aux/config.sub, build-aux/depcomp,
build-aux/install-sh, build-aux/missing, and lib/Makefile.in,
as they are no longer built by autogen.sh.
Add lib/gnulib.mk, as it is now built by 'configure'.
Remove nt/gnulib.mk, as it is no longer built by 'make'.
* INSTALL.REPO, README, admin/make-tarball.txt:
Remove mention of Automake.
* Makefile.in (AUTOCONF, AUTOMAKE, AUTOHEADER, ACLOCAL, lib)
(AUTOCONF_INPUTS, ACLOCAL_PATH, ACLOCAL_INPUTS)
($(srcdir)/aclocal.m4, AUTOMAKE_INPUTS)
($(srcdir)/lib/Makefile.in, $(srcdir)/nt/gnulib.mk, am--refresh):
Remove.
($(MAKEFILE_NAME)): Depend on lib/gnulib.mk.in.
($(srcdir)/configure, $(srcdir)/src/stamp-h.in)
($(srcdir)/src/config.in):
Use autogen.sh instead of doing it by hand.
* admin/merge-gnulib (AVOIDED_MODULES, avoided_flags)):
New vars, to simplify processing of avoided modules.
(GNULIB_TOOL_FLAGS): Move --avoid flags into AVOIDED_MODULES.
Add --gnu-make, and change makefile name to gnulib.mk.in.
Copy config.guess, config.sub, and install-sh too, since
Automake no longer does that for us.
* admin/notes/copyright:
* admin/update_autogen (genfiles):
Update list of files.
Remove hack for nt/gnulib.mk, a file that is no longer needed.
* autogen.sh (progs): Remove Automake.
(automake_min): Remove.
Build aclocal.m4 so that autoreconf need not use aclocal.
* build-aux/config.guess, build-aux/config.sub:
* build-aux/install-sh:
New files, copied from Gnulib.  These are now updated by
admin/merge-gnulib instead by autogen.sh.
* configure.ac (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET, ACLOCAL_PATH, AM_CONDITIONAL):
Remove.
(AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, AM_SILENT_RULES): Remove call.
(AC_PROG_CC_C_O): Call this instead of AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
(BUILDING_FOR_WINDOWSNT, HYBRID_MALLOC_LIB): Remove; no longer needed.
(--disable-silent-rules): New option, since Automake no longer
does this for us.
(AM_V, AM_DEFAULT_V): Set unconditionally, and do not bother
with AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE.
(AC_PROG_INSTALL): Add call.
(MAKEINFO): Do not bother with the 'missing' program.
(MAKEINFO, SYSTEM_TYPE): AC_SUBST.
(AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add Makefile, lib/gnulib.mk.
(SUBDIR_MAKEFILES): Remove duplication.
* lib/Makefile.am: Remove, replacing with:
* lib/Makefile.in: New file, with the old Makefile.am contents
and with the following changes:
(AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS, BUILT_SOURCES, CLEANFILES, EXTRA_DIST)
(MOSTLYCLEANDIRS, MOSTLYCLEANFILES, noinst_LIBRARIES, SUFFIXES)
(AM_CFLAGS, DEFAULT_INCLUDES, libegnu_a_SOURCES, libegnu_a_LIBADD)
(EXTRA_libegnu_a_SOURCES, libegnu_a_SHORTNAME, libegnu_a_CPPFLAGS):
Remove.
(VPATH, abs_top_builddir, top_builddir, top_srcdir, all, AM_V_AR)
(AM_V_CC, AM_V_GEN, AM_V_at, DEPDIR, DEPFLAGS, MKDEPDIR, SYSTEM_TYPE)
(libgnu.a, libegnu.a, ETAGS, $(ETAGS), tags, TAGS, clean)
(mostlyclean, distclean, bootstrap-clean, maintainer-clean):
New macros and rules, since Automake no longer does them.
Include ../nt/gnulib-cfg.mk if SYSTEM_TYPE is windows-nt,
instead of including ../nt/gnulib.mk if BUILDING_FOR_WINDOWS_NT.
Include dependency files if AUTO_DEPEND.
(ALL_CFLAGS, AUTOCONF_INPUTS, libgnu_a_OBJECTS, libegnu_a_OBJECTS):
New macros.

New macros and rules, copied from ../Makefile.in.
($(libegnu_a_OBJECTS), $(libgnu_a_OBJECTS)): Depend on BUILT_SOURCES.
(.c.o, e-%.o): New generic rules.

* lib/gnulib.mk.in: New file, which is built by autogen.sh
and contains much of what used to be in lib/gnulib.mk.
* m4/gnulib-common.m4: Copy from gnulib.
* make-dist: Do not distribute build-aux/compile, build-aux/depcomp,
build-aux/missing, build-aux/ar-lib, lib/Makefile.am, nt/gnulib.mk,
nt/gnulib-modules-to-delete.cfg.  Distribute lib/Makefile.in,
lib/gnulib.mk.in, and nt/gnulib-cfg.mk instead.
* nt/Makefile.in (AM_V_GEN, am__v_GEN_, am__v_GEN_0)
(am__v_GEN_1, ${srcdir}/gnulib.mk): Remove.
* nt/gnulib-cfg.mk: New file, which supersedes ...
* nt/gnulib-modules-to-delete.cfg: ... this file, which is removed.
* src/Makefile.in (ACLOCAL_INPUTS): Remove.
(AUTOCONF_INPUTS): Merge ACLOCAL_INPUTS into it.
($(top_srcdir)/configure, ../config.status, config.in Makefile):
Defer to parent Makefile.
