Re: [PATCH] autoupdate and GNU M4 snapshots

[Akim Demaille]

| Here's one alternative.
| 
| from  Raja R Harinath  <address@hidden>
| 
|       * autoupdate.in (File::Basename): Use package.
|       (ac_macros): Save only base filenames.
|       (au_macros): Likewise.

Thanks, applied!

| BTW, I think it may be nicer to code the loop as:
| 
|   my (%macros);
|   while (<MACROS>) 
|     {
|       chomp;
|       /^(AC|AU):(.*):([^:]*)$/ or next;
|       macros{$1}{$3] = basename ($2);
|     }
|   # ...
|   delete macros{AC}{$_} foreach (keys %{ $macros{AU} });
| 
| This way, you may be able to distinguish between m4sugar.m4 macros and
| ac*.m4 macros (say, by collecting them in macros{m4}{...}), and not
| rely on the slightly more brittle dependence on the filename.

Hm, I'm not sure I understand well your proposal.  But patches will be
gladly accepted :)

BTW, you seem to have some insight in Perl.  May I ask you some
explanations on:

Thanks!
