Re: [PATCH] Distribute bootstrap and bootstrap.conf

I'm testing gnulib-tool.py on packages at the moment and stumbled upon this commit in groff. Another option worth considering is using the gnulib-cache.m4 file. It is pretty small for groff, so here it is minus the copyright header and gnulib-tool invocation comment: # Specification in the form of a few gnulib-tool.m4 macro invocations: gl_LOCAL_DIR([gl]) gl_MODULES([ attribute fprintf-posix git-version-gen havelib snprintf stdbool-c99 stdint sys_wait vsnprintf wcwidth ]) gl_AVOID([]) gl_SOURCE_BASE([lib]) gl_M4_BASE([gnulib_m4]) gl_PO_BASE([]) gl_DOC_BASE([doc]) gl_TESTS_BASE([tests]) gl_LIB([libgnu]) gl_MAKEFILE_NAME([gnulib.mk]) gl_AUTOMAKE_SUBDIR gl_MACRO_PREFIX([gl]) gl_PO_DOMAIN([]) gl_WITNESS_C_MACRO([]) I'm not very familiar with Debian packaging, so I am not sure if there is information you need that is missing there. Here is some links to the relevant documentation which might help: https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/gnulib.html#Modified-imports https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/gnulib.html#VCS-Issues Collin

Ah, you're right I forgot about the custom ./bootstrap hooks. In any case, gnulib-tool should add gnulib-cache.m4 to EXTRA_DIST. So you have it as a backup if you ever need it. Collin

Sounds good. If I remember correctly Coreutils has instructions on how to update Gnulib in README-hacking. I always use that since I never use git submodules. Not sure if it mentions ./bootstrap --bootstrap-sync though.

I will try to remember > that the --bootstrap-sync option exists! That most likely works fine too. The build-aux/bootstrap script is autogenerated from some files in top/* in Gnulib's Makefile. Packages can copy all of the files from top/* into their sources or alternatively just the single build-aux/bootstrap script. The --bootstrap-sync option should work correctly in either of those cases so I suppose there is less work if you decide to reorganize things. Collin
[PATCH] Update Gnulib module names.
Hi Braden, I saw you updated to the new Gnulib branch. This was created after some modules were renamed for consistency [1]. The existing ones still work but output some warnings like: Notice from module sys_wait: This module is deprecated. Use the module 'sys_wait-h' instead. I've attached a patch to update them to the new naming.
