Re: PATCH -u Re: BUG Report : automake on cygwin is acting up on--srcdir-name=.


/usr/bin/automake is a generated script. If you wish to submit a patch, download the source archive submit a patch against that (Note that each "final" script is built from fragments, where it takes two separate fragments to implement a new option).

However, all I see in your patch is adding two new options "--build-dir" and "--srcdir-name". Why? What problem is the lack of these options causing? Which versions of automake (the real automake) introduced these options? Why are these options asymmetrical -- shouldn't you have "--srcdir-name and --builddir-name" or "--build-dir and --src-dir" (or is that a question more properly directed to the automake list?)

Basically, regardless of the fact that I cannot use your patch in the source distribution for automake (wrappers), you haven't given me a reason to even try to add these new features.
