Rob,
since we're moving TODO and BUGS (and maybe in the future other things)
out of guile-core/ into workbook/, it behooves us to figure out how to
get these files back into the tree on release. apparently, automake
supports "dist-hook", which we currently use in these makefiles:
./doc/Makefile.am
./guile-readline/Makefile.am
it is easy to add something like:
dist-hook:
@echo doing dist-hook...
if MAINTAINER_MODE
@echo 'This is a snapshot of the TODO file.' > TODO
@echo >> TODO
cat $(workbook)/tasks/TODO >> TODO
$(workbook)/../scripts/render-bugs $(workbook)/bugs > BUGS
endif
to top-level Makefile.am. the question is how to define $(workbook)?
we can either require maintainers to specify this directory like:
make workbook=some/path/to/workbook dist
or adopt the convention that workbook is always at
$(top_srcdir)/../workbook and codify that in Makefile.am.
so: what is your preference?
what other files can we factor out of guile-core/?
where would we put them in workbook/?
where is a good place to document all this? (RELEASE?)
if you see where i'm going w/ this, you can obviously make the changes
yourself, but i'm happy to do them for you if given reasonable answers.
