Applied to master. It seems not to make things worse, although my
testing of the OOT build was hampered by the failure of the new python
bindings to build OOT [1].

OOT bindings and python-cffi

2020-10-21 Thread David Bremner


I noticed, while testing something unrelated, that the version copying
we set up for bindings/python-cffi does not work (does not find the file
'version') when doing an out of tree build.

I'm sending this to remind us to fix that at some point.

As you surmised on IRC, it was a line ending problem, that I solved with
my previously developed script. I guess I should include said script in
our devel/ collection. Or someone(TM) could fix mailman.
