-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just modified M4 to use gnulib-tool --local-dir in order to upgrade M4 to GPLv3 (the version-etc module still prints GPLv2+ without a local patch) [1]. However, I noticed that gnulib-tool currently requires that .diff files be laid out in the same directory structure in the local dir as they are in gnulib. I was kind of hoping that, with few enough .diff files, that I could lump them all directly inside the local dir, rather than creating a directory structure just for a few patch files (sure, it doesn't scale as well, but it takes less effort). For an example, with just gpl-3.0.texi.diff and version-etc.c.diff, the difference is between:
- --local-dir=local local/lib/version-etc.c.diff local/doc/gpl-3.0.texi.diff or - --local-dir=local local/version-etc.c.diff local/gpl-3.0.texi.diff Is that worth pursuing? At any rate, I either need a followup patch to m4 to put the .diff files in the correct location, or wait for a gnulib-tool patch that can find the .diff files at either location; until then, m4 bootstrap doesn't quite pick up the GPLv3 local patch as intended.
