Comment #20 on issue 3473 by [email protected]: Patch: Rewrite
STEPMAKE_GET_VERSION.
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3473
Shell functions as such (if you don't use the bashistic "function" keyword)
should be fine. We just want to avoid more complexity than necessary since
autoconf problems take a long time to gather definite feedback. Our freeze
is not exactly working out fabulously: we'll probably need to do something
about that. Nevertheless, we want to avoid changes with long-running
consequences.
I had no concrete issues with the patch: my response was more
keyword-triggered on the discussion since I did not find your argumentation
convincing. The basic gist was "testing will turn up oversights anyway",
and that premise does not really work well with autoconf. That does not
mean that there are problems, just that we better look closely for them
manually since the automatic looking is not covering a lot of ground.
