Hi,
I have another suggestion about the CVS archive.
I have a different libtool version than you do (whoever is checking in
the files). Consequently, I can't build cppunit until I run
"libtoolize". Among other things, this copies in new versions of the
three files
config/config.guess
config/config.sub
config/ltmain.sh
which means that any "cvs diff" I try to generate is swamped by the
diffs of these three files.
It would be a great help to folks in my situation if you could simply
remove all generated files from CVS. That includes the three
mentioned above, as well as all the Makefile.in files.
The only reason to commit built files into CVS is if you wish to
cater to developers who don't have all the auto-* tools. If that
is your reasoning, I can accept it. However, it is also possible
to simply ask them to start from the latest tarball, and do a
cvs checkout overtop of it. (Or I can make tarball snapshots every
night with a cron job...)
