Hello,
I have made a strange observation concerning
lib/unlocked-io.h
which appears when running the bootstrap script
for GNU Inetutils.
Until very recently, "unlocked-io" was included
as a dependency in our "bootstrap.conf". Upon my
complaint, Alfred M. Szmidt remove that entry,
after which the following issue vanished completely.
Therefore we suspect there be a bug in GNUlib on
this matter.
Now, running "bootstrap" on a fresh cheackout of
GNU Inetutils, and then happily running
rsync -Ca . ../temp/
one would expect a source tree where configuration and
compilation works. Right? But alas, it does not.
An empty soft link
lib/unlocked-io.h
remains, which is pointing at the non-existent
location
../gnulib/unlocked-io.h
Performing a full copy, or using tar/cpio pipes,
will of course work, but not the pruning incvolved
in "rsync -Ca".
Best regards,
Mats Erik Andersson (member of GNU Inetutils)
