On a related note: On IRC, you mentioned that you encountered an inf-loop for make and autogen.sh when you had local modifications in your .gnulib file. Do you have a simple formula for reproducing that? If I'm correct, I suspect that autogen and/or bootstrap could be taught how to recognize whether a 'git submodule update' was sufficient to sync up to the expected version (the normal case) vs. still noticing that .gnulib is dirty due to local changes (at least, I'm assuming that was the situation you were in); in the latter case, it would then be fatal with a message reminding you to commit your changes so that the submodule is no longer dirty rather than inf-looping trying to sync up something that won't change. -- Eric Blake eblake(a)redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
