Hi. I'm trying to upgrade to automake 1.14.1, and I see this:

@@ -993,10 +993,16 @@ dist-xz: distdir
 	$(am__post_remove_distdir)

+	@echo WARNING: "Support for shar distribution archives is" \

 	tardir=$(distdir) && $(am__tar) | compress -c >$(distdir).tar.Z

 	shar $(distdir) | GZIP=$(GZIP_ENV) gzip -c >$(distdir).shar.gz

The error messages are associated with the wrong targets.

I thought I reported this already...

Thanks,

Arnold

Thank for the report.  I've applied a fix that will appear in the next
automake release.

Sure, in the diff that Aharon reported they were (which is why he opened
the bug :-) My patch (attached to the message you replied to) fixes that.
