GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 749921
bootstrap: Add m4-common
Last modified: 2015-06-16 16:08:14 UTC
Simple patch to add desrt’s m4-common to the meta-bootstrap set. This will be used to provide m4 macros which replace gnome-common. See: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeCommon/Migration and: https://github.com/desrt/m4-common/
Created attachment 304035 [details] [review] bootstrap: Add m4-common This is a caching wrapper around autoconf-archive, to bring in the macros needed by GNOME without downloading the whole lot (several megabytes). See: https://github.com/desrt/m4-common/blob/master/README
Note that it would probably be a good idea for the release team to have some way of emergency-committing to m4-common in case of problems at release time. This might mean moving it to git.gnome.org, or adding someone to the GitHub project.

Timed out and merged it anyway, since modules are breaking now because it hasn’t been merged. People were given ample opportunity on desktop-devel, in Bugzilla, and on IRC to object. Attachment 304035 [details] pushed as eb099a7 - bootstrap: Add m4-common
