relocatable-prog status

2013-10-20 Thread Sylvain 
Hi,

It's been a while (1 year 1/2) since
http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2012/05/msg00032.html and I still
need to manually patch gnulib before releasing.

If I assume the relocatable-prog module is not maintained, that I'm
probably the only person on earth to use it, and that I should just
drop it from my package, am I wrong? ;)

Thanks!
Sylvain

No, we use relocatable-prog in GNU PSPP as well.  I build with it
all the time.  But I don't use Debian/kFreeBSD or Debian/Hurd, so
I don't see this problem.

I do read this list, and I am a maintainer of relocatable-prog,
but somehow I missed the discussion.  Maybe I thought that Bruno
was going to take care of it, since he suggested the patch.

Are you still happy with install-reloc with Bruno's patch?  If
so, then I will commit it to gnulib.
