Paul Eggert 199e7a4450 Prefer https: URLs
In Gnulib, Emacs, etc. we are changing ftp: and http: URLs to use
https:, to discourage man-in-the-middle attacks when downloading
software. The attached patch propagates these changes upstream to
Automake.  This patch does not affect files that Automake is
downstream of, which I'll patch separately.

Althouth the resources are not secret, plain HTTP is vulnerable to
malicious routers that tamper with responses from GNU servers,
and this sort of thing is all too common when people in some other
countries browse US-based websites. See, for example:

S. Analyzing internet censorship in Pakistan. RTSI
2016. https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/RTSI.2016.7740626

HTTPS is not a complete solution here, but it can be a significant
help. The GNU project regularly serves up code to users, so we should
take some care here.

=head1 NAME
Automake::Version - version comparison
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Automake::Version;
print "Version $version is older than required version $required\n"
if Automake::Version::check ($version, $required);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides support for comparing versions string
as they are used in Automake.
A version is a string that looks like
C<MAJOR.MINOR[.MICRO][ALPHA][-FORK]> where C<MAJOR>, C<MINOR>, and
C<MICRO> are digits, C<ALPHA> is a character, and C<FORK> any
alphanumeric word.
Usually, C<ALPHA> is used to label alpha releases or intermediate
snapshots, C<FORK> is used for git branches or patched releases, and
C<MICRO> is used for bug fixes releases on the C<MAJOR.MINOR> branch.
For the purpose of ordering, C<1.4> is the same as C<1.4.0>, but
C<1.4g> is the same as C<1.4.99g>. The C<FORK> identifier is ignored
in the ordering, except when it looks like C<-pMINOR[ALPHA]>: some
versions were labeled like C<1.4-p3a>, this is the same as an alpha
release labeled C<1.4.3a>. Yes, it's horrible, but Automake did not
support two-dot versions in the past.
=head2 FUNCTIONS
=over 4
=item C<split ($version)>
Split the string C<$version> into the corresponding C<(MAJOR, MINOR,
MICRO, ALPHA, FORK)> tuple. For instance C<'1.4g'> would be split
into C<(1, 4, 99, 'g', '')>. Return C<()> on error.
=cut
sub split ($)
{
my ($ver) = @_;
# Special case for versions like 1.4-p2a.
if ($ver =~ /^(\d+)\.(\d+)(?:-p(\d+)([a-z]+)?)$/)
{
return ($1, $2, $3, $4 || '', '');
}
# Common case.
elsif ($ver =~ /^(\d+)\.(\d+)(?:\.(\d+))?([a-z])?(?:-([A-Za-z0-9]+))?$/)
{
return ($1, $2, $3 || (defined $4 ? 99 : 0), $4 || '', $5 || '');
}
return ();
}
=item C<compare (\@LVERSION, \@RVERSION)>
Compare two version tuples, as returned by C<split>.
Return 1, 0, or -1, if C<LVERSION> is found to be respectively
greater than, equal to, or less than C<RVERSION>.
=cut
sub compare (\@\@)
{
my @l = @{$_[0]};
my @r = @{$_[1]};
for my $i (0, 1, 2)
{
return 1 if ($l[$i] > $r[$i]);
return -1 if ($l[$i] < $r[$i]);
}
for my $i (3, 4)
{
return 1 if ($l[$i] gt $r[$i]);
return -1 if ($l[$i] lt $r[$i]);
}
return 0;
}
=item C<check($VERSION, $REQUIRED)>
Handles the logic of requiring a version number in Automake.
C<$VERSION> should be Automake's version, while C<$REQUIRED>
is the version required by the user input.
Return 0 if the required version is satisfied, 1 otherwise.
=cut
sub check ($$)
{
my ($version, $required) = @_;
my @version = Automake::Version::split ($version);
my @required = Automake::Version::split ($required);
prog_error "version is incorrect: $version"
if $#version == -1;
# This should not happen, because process_option_list and split_version
# use similar regexes.
prog_error "required version is incorrect: $required"
if $#required == -1;
# If we require 3.4n-foo then we require something
# >= 3.4n, with the 'foo' fork identifier.
return 1
if ($required[4] ne '' && $required[4] ne $version[4]);
return 0 > compare (@version, @required);
