Here is the GNU automake home page:

Here are the compressed sources:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.16.5.tar.xz (1.6MB)
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.16.5.tar.gz (2.3MB)

Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.16.5.tar.xz.sig
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.16.5.tar.gz.sig

Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/automake/automake-1.16.5.tar.xz
https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/automake/automake-1.16.5.tar.gz

Here are the SHA1 and SHA256 checksums:

8B1YzW2dd/vcqetLvV6tGYgij9tz1veiAfX41rEYtGk automake-1.16.5.tar.xz
B70krQimS8FyUM4J7FbpIdY0OQOUPpnM9ju/BwXjRgU automake-1.16.5.tar.gz

Each SHA256 checksum is base64 encoded, instead of the
hexadecimal encoding that most checksum tools default to.

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:

gpg --verify automake-1.16.5.tar.xz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 7FD9FCCB000BEEEE

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

Please report bugs and problems to <bug-automake@gnu.org>,
and send general comments and feedback to <automake@gnu.org>.

NEWS

* Bugs fixed

- PYTHON_PREFIX and PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX are now set according to
    Python's sys.* values only if the new configure option
    --with-python-sys-prefix is specified. Otherwise, GNU default values
    are used, as in the past. (The change in 1.16.3 was too incompatible.)

- consistently depend on install-libLTLIBRARIES.

* Distribution

- use const for yyerror declaration in bison/yacc tests.
