Hi Ross,
I shall update to the final [autoconf] release
Have you had a chance to try this? I would like to get to the bottom of
this so I can make the release.
because intltool is already configured, being a tarball.
Your intltool link does not seem to provide any tarball.
[1] as per
https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/tree/meta/recipes-devtools/intltool/intltool_0.51.0.bb
What command do I type (or button/link do I click) to get the code so I
can try to reproduce? Git clone didn't work. I see no instructions. I
suppose it's obvious to most people, but sorry, I'm stymied.
$ git clone -q
https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/tree/meta/recipes-devtools/intltool/intltool_0.51.0.bb
fatal: repository
'https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/tree/meta/recipes-devtools/intltool/intltool_0.51.0.bb/'
not found
I've never seen this behaviour with autotools upgrades before...
Presumably it's related to the ustar change being so "early" in
configure. AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE hasn't changed in such a way for many years.
Possibly adding
AC_REQUIRE([AM_RUN_LOG])dnl
(after the other AC_REQUIREs, as below) would work around the problem?
I didn't try since I can't reproduce. --thanks, karl.
