Speaking of short-sighted is a bit stretched with some functionality that basically serves for more than half a decade. Also if you intend to offend people, I suggest you do it to them directly. > * gnulib-tool (func_get_automake_snippet): Synthesize also an > EXTRA_lib_SOURCES augmentation. > (func_emit_lib_Makefile_am): Initialize EXTRA_lib..._SOURCES to empty. You could simplify this further: - header files can go into *_SOURCES variables since about a decade now, - EXTRA_*_SOURCES are already distributed. That means you can drop most EXTRA_DIST settings. coreutils now still needs one more fix, after Jim's: some of its own lib files are still not dependency-tracked: | ls: .deps/fdopendir-glibc.Po: No such file or directory | ls: .deps/lstat-stub.Po: No such file or directory | ls: .deps/readlink-stub.Po: No such file or directory | ls: .deps/stdopen.Po: No such file or directory Or is it that these files are never needed?
