Hi Jim. I've got another problem with this while trying to test the upcoming automake 1.8.1 on coreutils 5.1.0. The use of cvsu in distcheck rules prevents users to run `make distcheck' (because CVS/Entries does not exist in released tarballs). I think this is unfortunate for two reasons - I expect people who send patches to distcheck their changes first. Obviously they can't. - I do not think a package should dictate users which tools they must use for source management. I'd suggest that this test be disabled if cvsu or CVS/Entries is missing, or moved to a separate target (cvsdistcheck?) that depends on distcheck. -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
