Ahh, so the ChangeLog needs to exist to build from SVN, too? Didn't
catch that before. *thinks*
I wonder if part of the issue is that "ChangeLog" is copied into the
distdir before "NEWS", and it's copied without trying to preserve
the timestamp (e.g. cp, not cp -p). So in the install tree the ChangeLog
IS older.
MAYBE we should key the ChangeLog rebuild off of BUILDING_FROM_SVN? I.e.:
if BUILDING_FROM_SVN
ChangeLog: NEWS
$(SVN) log -v --xml -r HEAD:15287 http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash |
\
$(XSLTPROC) --stringparam strip-prefix "gnucash/trunk" \
--stringparam include-rev "yes" $(srcdir)/macros/svn2cl.xsl - > $@
endif
Then it will never try to rebuild the ChangeLog from a tarball build.
