Hello, This is an updated version of the script I proposed a few months ago: http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-12/msg00337.html At the time, we held off on it because gnulib's bootstrap was supposed to do the same thing. It's been 10+ months since that suggestion was made, so I think we should go ahead with this script. Independently of bootstrap, what this script brings is a verification that the right versions of the auto-tools are being used. This avoid unwanted changes due to differing versions. It also allows us to store the gnulib SHA1 used for the import, rather than having to fish it out from somewhere in a ChangeLog file. If someone ever gets to using gnulib's bootstrap, then great - I think it can easily be folded into this script. In the meantime, it helps, because I no longer have to figure how to regenerate the configury and the makefiles... gdb/ChangeLog: * gnulib/update-gnulib.sh: New script. Script tested by running it, and verifying that it does not introduce any change. OK to commit? Thanks, -- Joel
