Quieten move-if-change?

2005-07-27 Thread Ben Elliston
move-if-change currently outputs " is unchanged" when it does nothing. This adds undue noise in GCC builds. Would it be possible to give it more natural behaviour like mv(1) and output nothing, regardless of whether it moves the file? Ben signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital

compiler really exists and works, but it only gets run once per configure script, not once per compiler. I've tested this with Debian's Autoconf 2.59. I don't think the situation has changed in CVS, based on a brief look at the source, but I haven't actually tested it. -- Ben
