+Subject: [PATCH] automake: port better to future gzip
+
+* lib/am/distdir.am (dist-gzip, dist-shar, distcheck):
+Port better to future versions of gzip, which are planned to
+deprecate the GZIP environment variable (Bug#20132).

++## Traditionally, gzip prepended the contents of the GZIP environment
++## variable to its arguments, and the commands below formerly used
++## this by invoking 'GZIP=$(GZIP_ENV) gzip'.  The GZIP environment
++## variable is now considered to be obsolescent, so the commands below
++## now use 'eval GZIP= gzip $(GZIP_ENV)' instead; this should work
++## with both older and newer gzip implementations.  The 'eval' is to
++## support makefile assignments like 'GZIP_ENV = "-9 -n"' that quote
++## the GZIP_ENV right-hand side because that was needed with the
++## former invocation pattern.
