Reverting is ok by me, I don't think the change was made to fix any particular problem. It was a cleanup. I think this should be considered a autoreconf bug and reported though. Is it really safe to avoid to regenerate in sub-directories? If so, perhaps autoreconf should have a --no-recursion or similar? _______________________________________________ bug-gnulib mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnulib
