Dear all, I tried to build libtool from git but failed during bootstrap. bootstrap asked me the questions
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] Apply anyway? [n] but no combination of y/n did the job. Here the entire session: $ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/libtool.git $ cd libtool $ ./bootstrap bootstrap: running: git clone --depth 2 'git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib.git' 'gnulib' Cloning into 'gnulib'... remote: Counting objects: 30186, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (16177/16177), done. remote: Total 30186 (delta 23989), reused 18174 (delta 13982) Receiving objects: 100% (30186/30186), 11.62 MiB | 1.62 MiB/s, done.

Then I searched for the daily snapshots at http://pogma.com/libtool/. The latest tarball is from 16-Nov-2011. The libtool_build.log from 22-Aug-2012 reports an error: ... maint.mk: out of date copyright in doc/libtool.texi; update it make[1]: *** [sc_copyright_check] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/libtool/lt/libtool' make: *** [distcheck] Error 1 So, what is wrong here and how can it be fixed?
