Why?  Development repositories are not meant for end users.  Having a
tarball requiring only a subset of the dependencies necessary or
convenient to the developers seems nice.

To test a unreleased version of a package that uses the GNU build system
on a restricted system, the usual method would be to bootstrap a tarball
with ‘make dist’ from a development machine with Git, network access,
... and then install the produced tarball on the targeted machine.

It doesn't work on a PC without git or without network connection
because it needs to clone gnulib (although there is no gnulib folder
in libtool-2.4.6.tar.gz. But this is probably another story.


This is very unfortunate.  I am not sure if it would work if you cloned
gnulib on another computer and copied the gnulib folder into place since
it may still make subsequent git accesses.


It sounds to me like Igor wants/needs the release tarball.
Pulling from GIT and building is a maintainer problem.
If you are going to help maintain it, you need access to
maintainer stuff:  GIT, gnulib, the internet, etc.
It's "by design".

The bootstrap requirements make it difficult to support or test on 
targets which can not run git or don't have network access.

It doesn't work on a PC without git or without network connection
because it needs to clone gnulib (although there is no gnulib folder
in libtool-2.4.6.tar.gz. But this is probably another story.

How to build libtool from git sources properly?

[Igor Zhbanov]

Hi!

How to properly build libtool from git sources.

I see too many differences between

git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/libtool.git
git checkout v2.4.6

and

http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.6.tar.gz.

How to make cloned sources to look like in release archive?
Didn't find any instruction.

Thank you.
