Re: [PATCH / RFA] Strip texinfo from a copy of Makefile.in and not original


   Date: Fri, 03 Mar 2000 19:29:05 +1100
   From: Andrew Cagney <ac131313@cygnus.com>

   The attatched patch changes the ``taz:'' target so that it strips
   various texinfo bits from the proto-toplev/Makefile.in copy of
   Makefile.in instead of the original file.

   This stops the top level Makefile.in being affected by packaging.

It is my custom, which I inherited from Ken, to check in a precise
copy of the release on the release branch.  Changing the top level
Makefile.in, rather than the copy, makes this easier.  Of course, it
is possible either way.

Note that the distribution process makes several other changes to the
working tree.  This is only one of them.  I don't know why you want to
change this one in particular.

In any case, I suppose I don't feel strongly about this patch.  If it
makes your life significantly easier, it is OK with me.

Ian
