Is Autoconf >= 2.64 spread widely enough for Libtool development by now? If not, that could probably be hacked around in configure.ac, but I'd need to test with old Autoconf then.
Anyway, this updates --help output of libtool, libtoolize, and the testsuite script to match current GNU Coding Standards. I amended func_help with a heuristic that should continue to work fine with the other scripts that don't have the extra help lines, mailnotify and clcommit. (Do you think it needs a testsuite addition to ensure this heuristic isn't picking up extra junk from ltmain and libtoolize?) I verified that @PACKAGE_BUGREPORT@ is not present in ltmain.sh any more (thus it is not changed to a user package that happens to use AC_PROG_LIBTOOL). I'd like to change PACKAGE to be 'GNU libtool' eventually, but that affects things like grepping generated .lo and .la files, and I don't want to go there right now. I am not (yet) mentioning other mailing lists, that is logically an orthogonal issue IMVHO. Thanks, Ralf Print Libtool project URL in program --help output. * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Require Autoconf 2.64 for Libtool. (AC_INIT): Set URL argument. * Makefile.am (edit): Substitute PACKAGE_URL. ($(srcdir)/tests/package.m4): Also depend on Makefile.am. Define AT_PACKAGE_URL, for `tests/testsuite --help' output. * libltdl/config/getopt.m4sh (func_help): Also extract comment lines that mention a home page and general GNU help. * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh: Use @PACKAGE_BUGREPORT@ instead of hard-coded list address. Also mention Libtool home page and general GNU help web page. * libtoolize.m4sh: Likewise. diff --git a/Makefile.am b/Makefile.am index c3f74e0..8e00b3e 100644 --- a/Makefile.am +++ b/Makefile.am @@ -126,6 +126,7 @@ edit = sed \ -e 's,@MACRO_VERSION\@,$(VERSION),g' \ -e 's,@PACKAGE\@,$(PACKAGE),g' \ -e 's,@PACKAGE_BUGREPORT\@,$(PACKAGE_BUGREPORT),g' \ + -e 's,@PACKAGE_URL\@,$(PACKAGE_URL),g' \ -e 's,@PACKAGE_NAME\@,$(PACKAGE),g' \ -e 's,@PACKAGE_STRING\@,$(PACKAGE) $(VERSION),g' \ -e 's,@PACKAGE_TARNAME\@,$(PACKAGE),g' \ @@ -543,7 +544,7 @@ $(srcdir)/$(TESTSUITE): $(srcdir)/tests/package.m4 $(TESTSUITE_AT) Makefile.am $(AUTOTEST) `echo $(TESTSUITE_AT) | sed 's,tests/,,g'` -o testsuite.tmp && \ mv -f testsuite.tmp testsuite -$(srcdir)/tests/package.m4: $(srcdir)/configure.ac +$(srcdir)/tests/package.m4: $(srcdir)/configure.ac Makefile.am { \ echo '# Signature of the current package.'; \ echo 'm4_define([AT_PACKAGE_NAME], [...@package_name@])'; \ @@ -551,6 +552,7 @@ $(srcdir)/tests/package.m4: $(srcdir)/configure.ac echo 'm4_define([AT_PACKAGE_VERSION], [...@package_version@])'; \ echo 'm4_define([AT_PACKAGE_STRING], [...@package_string@])'; \ echo 'm4_define([AT_PACKAGE_BUGREPORT], [...@package_bugreport@])'; \ + echo 'm4_define([AT_PACKAGE_URL], [...@package_url@])'; \ } | $(edit) > $(srcdir)/tests/package.m4 tests/atconfig: $(top_builddir)/config.status diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index f47eb44..0ec5407 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ # Process this file with autoconf to create configure. -*- autoconf -*- -# Copyright (C) 2001, 2004, 2005, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc. +# Copyright (C) 2001, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2010 Free Software Foundation, +# Inc. # Written by Gary V.
