Well don't store them in svn - use a bootstrap script to make them
before running the autotools.
Here is the bit from my ./bootstrap that does the magic:
get_svk_svn_directory () {
# Return the SVN repository directory for a SVK checkout directory.
depot_directory=$1
svk depotmap --list | grep "^/" | while read depot_map; do
depot_name=$(echo $depot_map | awk "{print \$1}")
repository_directory=$(echo $depot_map | awk "{print \$2}")
if echo $depot_directory | grep "^"$depot_name > /dev/null; then
echo $depot_directory | \
sed "s|"$depot_name"|file://"$repository_directory"/|"
fi
done
}
get_svn_directory () {
# Return the SVN directory for a directory.
dirname=$1
svn_directory=""
if test -n "$SVN_EXECTUABLE" \
-a -n "$($SVN_EXECTUABLE info $dirname 2> /dev/null)"; then
svn_directory="."
else
if test -n "$SVK_EXECTUABLE" \
-a -n "$($SVK_EXECTUABLE info $dirname 2> /dev/null)"; then
depot_directory=$(svk info $dirname | \
grep "Depot Path" | awk "{print \$3}")
svn_directory=$(get_svk_svn_directory $depot_directory)
fi
fi > /dev/null
echo $svn_directory
}
generate_svn_changelog () {
# Generate the ChangLog file using the Subversion repository.
dirname=$1
echo "Generating \`"$CHANGELOG_FILE"'"
if test -z "$SVN_EXECTUABLE" -a -z "$SVK_EXECTUABLE"; then
echo "Warning: Unable to find the svn or svk commands."
fi
svn_directory=$(get_svn_directory $dirname)
if test -z "$svn_directory"; then
echo "Warning: Unable to determine repository information."
else
if test -z "$SVN2CL_EXECTUABLE"; then
echo "Warning: Unable to find the svn2cl command."
fi
fi
if test -n "$svn_directory" -a -n "$SVN2CL_EXECTUABLE"; then
echo $SVN2CL_EXECTUABLE --authors=$AUTHORS_FILE $svn_directory
else
echo "Warning: Unable to generate the \`"$CHANGELOG_FILE"' file."
touch $CHANGELOG_FILE
fi
}
