The bootstrap script in Gnulib (build-aux/bootstrap), and the modified one being used by Parted require the presence of a README-hacking (similar but not same as README-alpha) file in the source root directory. Otherwise this is what happens: [EMAIL PROTECTED] inetutils-build]$ /devel/gnulib/gnulib/build-aux/bootstrap --gnulib-srcdir=/devel/gnulib/gnulib/ /devel/gnulib/gnulib/build-aux/bootstrap: Bootstrapping from a non-checked-out distribution is risky. [EMAIL PROTECTED] inetutils-build]$
Would we want to have a separate bootstrap for inetutils, which does not require README-hacking, or do we want to include the file? Or am I making a mistake? >From README-alpha: DIRECTORY-WITH-GNULIB/build-aux/bootstrap --force --gnulib-src=DIRECTORY-WITH-GNULIB Notice the force argument. But for something saner, I think that bootstrap should check for README-hacking and README-alpha, README-alpha is more used than README-hacking. One could make the README-foo file configurable via bootstrap.conf though... _______________________________________________ bug-inetutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-inetutils
