-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Stepan Kasal on 6/19/2008 6:12 AM: | | That why I came to the opinion that a plain autotools-generated | tarball would be better than tarball containing the confusing hooks.
Well, that's exactly why GNUmakefile has had two recent patches - one to skip running autoreconf if git-version-gen fails, and the other to look at the correct .tarball-version file. Unless you intentionally change .tarball-version, GNUmakefile will now no longer insist on an autoreconf when run from a tarball, so we have effectively killed the maintainer's VCS-specific hooks that made 2.62 so hard to redistribute. I still intend on shipping the complete GNUmakefile as part of 2.63, now that it plays much more nicely with non-VCS builds and is more mature. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
