I would like to update the gnulib files for the package I'm maintaining (wdiff) in CVS (I've decided to check-in the gnulib files so people using CVS don't have to run gnulib). However, running "gnulib-tool --import" or "gnulib-tool --update" creates a bunch of files I don't want, such as .cvsignore and backup files (ending in "~"). It also appears to install new files with an added "_" (ie. stdlib_.h).
As a maintainer that wants to put these changes in CVS, this behavior is not what I want. I would prefer if gnulib-tool overwrote all old files (instead of making backups), did not rename new files (it currently adds "_"), and did not create .cvsignore files. Is there a way I can get gnulib-tool to do this? If not, what is the best way? Denver
