Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cdbs
My version of cdbs is the standard for Ubuntu 7.10 (0.4.49ubuntu2).
When wanting to run aclocal from cdbs, for example by setting:
DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_ACLOCAL = 1.10
it is required that the file aclocal.m4 is already present, otherwise
aclocal does not run. I find that behaviour quite strange, because the
purpose of calling aclocal is to generate that file. This piece of logic
is found in the file /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/autotools-files.mk:
if [ -e $(DEB_SRCDIR)/aclocal.m4 ]; then cd $(DEB_SRCDIR) &&
aclocal-$(DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_ACLOCAL) $$m4; fi
I consider this a mis-behaviour if not a bug.
