Re: GNU "Autotools" Branch?

I haven't tested it on any platform other than Mac OS X; not all config
tests have been translated yet into M4 macros (especially tests related
to linking); and those that have been written need a thorough review as
well as some polishing.  So it's safe to say it's still very much in
development.

Once I get a successful 'distcheck', I'll create this branch in the
stdcxx/branches/autotools directory.  The baseline for this branch will
only contain a scant few config macros initially along with plenty of
guidance on writing the rest.  :)

Sounds good to me. Unless someone objects in the next, say, 48 hours
go ahead and create the branch at your leisure. I assume you'll be
branching off of trunk (as opposed to an existing branch).

I have some code that I'd like to contribute to the Apache STDCXX

(i.e.
Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool).

Would a branch in the Subversion stdcxx/branches directory be the

appropriate place to check in this code?

If you're still developing the code we can create a branches/autotools
branch for this work. But if it's already finished and tested on all
platforms we might want to think about rolling it into 4.3 instead
(once it has been created).

Thanks.
