[Bug-apl] SVN ignore: part 1
Hello, after building GNU APL when doing "svn status" we get lots of files that are autogenerated by the autotools and should need not to be in the repository. A shell script below will set a "svn:ignore" property on directories, so that most of the generated files disappear from the "svn status" output. Next post will be about the remaining files.

The remaining files that are autogenerated and - at the same time - are included in the repository are: m> svn status | grep '^M ' M Makefile M Makefile.in M aclocal.m4 M config.h M config.h.in M configure M debian/Makefile.in M debian/source/Makefile.in M doc/Makefile.in M erlang/Makefile.in M gnu-apl.d/Makefile.in M ltmain.sh M m4/libtool.m4 M m4/ltoptions.m4 M m4/ltversion.m4 M rpm/Makefile.in M src/APs/Makefile.in M src/Makefile.in M src/buildtag.hh M src/emacs_mode/Makefile.in M src/makefile.h M src/native/Makefile.in M src/sql/Makefile.in M src/testcases/Makefile.in M src/workspaces/Makefile.in M support-files/105-key-International-Keyboard/Makefile.in M support-files/Dirk/Makefile.in M support-files/Dyalog-Keyboard/Makefile.in M support-files/Makefile.in M support-files/OS-X-Keyboard/Makefile.in M support-files/Unicomp-Keyboard/Makefile.in M support-files/WASD-Keyboard/Makefile.in M support-files/old-Keyboard/Makefile.in M tools/Makefile.in M workspaces/Makefile.in M wslib3/Makefile.in M wslib4/Makefile.in M wslib5/APLComponentFiles/Makefile.in M wslib5/Makefile.in M wslib5/iso-apl-cf/Makefile.in Most of those files (configure, Makefile.in) are autogenerated by automake and modified after running autoreconf I think they also should be removed from the SVN repository and ignored there (added to the svn:ignore property). People running GNU APL from SVN should do "autoreconf" prior to trying to build it. In the release tarball they should be included - release users should be able just to run ./configure I will also have a look at the way src/buildtag.hh src/makefile.h src/configure_args.cc are generated - I think we could generate them using automake instead. This way an out-of-tree build could work again. Marcin Cieślak
Re: [Bug-apl] SVN ignore: part 2
Hi, The current way to distribute GNU APL is via SVN for good or bad. On some systems where is no support for autoreconf but ./configure works perfectly fine. Please don't enforce people to run autoreconf on GNU APL from SVN. Marcin Cieslak writes: > People running GNU APL from SVN should do "autoreconf" > prior to trying to build it. -- Br, /Alexey
