Hi. I'm setting GNU SASL up for git-version-gen and bootstrap, and
noticed that bootstrap doesn't handle git-version-gen well. See:
jas@latte:~$ cat>configure.ac
AC_INIT([GNU SASL],
m4_esyscmd([build-aux/git-version-gen .tarball-version]),
[bug-gsasl@gnu.org],
[gsasl])
jas@latte:~$ ~/src/gnulib/build-aux/bootstrap
/home/jas/src/gnulib/build-aux/bootstrap: cannot find package name in
configure.ac
jas@latte:~$
I'm using the patch below in gsasl, what do you think?
I didn't push the patch without discussion because bootstrap is such a
sensitive script used by many packages. Maybe someone prefers to fix
the sed expression instead, if we want to support old autoconf without
support for --trace.
