VERY UNCOOL, please fix. Acknowledged. Hrmpf. I don't like the whole dancing around we have in place in order to preserve timestamps on the libltdl files. We should be able to have rely on an $INSTALL program which does this for us (and also the user might want to override some of the INSTALL* variables anyway; or need to use his `install' which preserves some extended attributes like for selinux..). Wouldn't it be easiest to amend install-sh with this functionality? At least we can't just chown to root, the install user might not be root but might still be different from the build user. :-/ Suggestions welcome, Ralf _______________________________________________ Bug-libtool mailing list Bug-libtool@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-libtool
