From 5c040b86a86f3c35b4d8b7ae80b0dc66f3b7e884 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Simons Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2009 23:37:39 +0200 Subject: gnulib: deleted submodule The announce-gen script needs access to the gnulib repository in order to determine the library's version string. The default location, where gnulib is expected to be, is $srcdir/gnulib. Quoting from maint.mk: gnulib_dir ?= $(srcdir)/gnulib gnulib-version = $$(cd $(gnulib_dir) && git describe) At first, it looked like adding gnulib as a submodule to that location would be a good idea (especially, since it's needed to bootstrap, too). After some thought, however, it feels like overkill. Submodules are meant to track the state of the other repository in the current branch, but we don't really need that information. We just need some moderately recent version of gnulib-tool somewhere in $PATH; that's good enough. --- .gitignore | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to '.gitignore') diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index b72b35b..ef60c21 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -22,3 +22,4 @@ /config.status /configure /maint.mk +/gnulib -- cgit v1.2.1
