Description Philip Withnall 2015-05-26 17:58:37 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/

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
Comment 2 Philip Withnall 2015-05-26 18:00:01 UTC
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.

Comment 4 Philip Withnall 2015-06-16 16:08:11 UTC
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.
