Re: gnulib-tool.py

[Dmitry Selyutin]

Hi Tim,

that's exactly what I've done today. I've just pushed some changes into repository; could you please try the latest version?

I didn't have time to integrate --no-changelog support yet (it seems it was either unimplemented before or appeared after project was completed).

Thank you for trying the Python version; please let me know if it works for you or if there are some other errors to be fixed.

P.S. I've started cleaning the entire code base, also rewriting some slow paths, but there is a lot of work to be done; stay tuned. :-)

Hi Dmitry,

I tried to remove some other options as well (as possible), but whatever
options there are, gnulib-tool.py doesn't like them.

The bootstrap.conf that I sent you is from project GNU Wget2.

Simply clone it (plus gnulib submodule) via
        git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2.git

And change to the pygnulib branch via
        cd gnulib
        git checkout pygnulib
        cd ..
        git commit -a -m "Use pygnulib"

Now edit ./bootstrap to use gnulib-tool.py and
        ./bootstrap

The ./bootstrap script (also from gnulib) uses/loade ./bootstrap.conf.

Maybe that can help you with debugging (sorry, but I am absolutely not into
python).

Regards, Tim
