Follow-up Comment #11, bug #65800 (group groff):

> Collin, any word on this?  We haven't heard from you since July.

Hi Branden, sorry I completely forgot about it...

Regarding the .gitignore issue, I no longer see /build-aux/ being added.


$ ./bootstrap
$ git diff .gitignore


Shows nothing.

Regarding the messages like:

  GEN      lib/alloca.h
/bin/mv: overwrite 'lib/alloca.h'? y


It looks like "$HOME"/bin is in Dave's "$PATH" so 'mv' calls a script with:


/bin/mv -i "$@"


Gnulib uses 'mv' to generate headers to avoid 'sed -i' which is not portable.
If this script is executed in your path after you re-run './bootstrap &&
./configure && make', I would expect to see those prompts. This is because
make sees '*.in.h' files that are newer than the '*.h' files that depend on
them.

Regarding /build-aux vs. /build-aux/, the decision seems the be purposeful.
Here is the relevant commit in Gnulib [1].

Let me know if I missed anything.
