Hello all, maintainer-makefile depends on gnumakefile, but not vice versa, yet top/GNUmakefile (which is part of the latter module) includes maint.mk (which is part of the former) unconditionally.
Either gnumakefile should also depend on maintainer-makefile (which means both modules could be merged), or for example 'sinclude' aka '-include' should be used to include maint.mk, or at least the gnumakefile module description should mention that one has to write a maint.mk file. Reproduce with gnulib-tool --with-tests --test gnumakefile What do you think? Thanks, Ralf
