Re: poke 3.2: autoreconf fails

They are.  They probably got replaced or such by autopoint or some other
step autoreconf runs when it should not.  If you're generating part of
the build system, please do so by invoking the processor for that
specific part of the build system (autoconf for configure.ac/m4 files,
automake for Makefile.am, etc).  Jose provided a link to the same bug
report for the previous version.

As an example, lets presume I modified configure.ac or one of the m4s,
and wanted to regenerate configure.  The following works:

  /tmp/h/poke-3.2$ autoconf-2.71 -f
  aclocal.m4:17: warning: this file was generated for autoconf 2.69.
  You have another version of autoconf.  It may work, but is not guaranteed to.
  If you have problems, you may need to regenerate the build system entirely.
  To do so, use the procedure documented by the package, typically 'autoreconf'.

(note that it's better to match autoconf versions, it's just that I
don't have a 2.69 install right now)

Yes, it's used to regenerate the version string, but it shouldn't hurt
when .tarball-version is present, since that should take precedence
(even though git is invoked in either case).

I'm unsure what that is.

Have a lovely day!
