[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57044] gitlab mirror: "bootstrap --no-git requires --gnulib-srcdir"

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #57044 (project octave):

Colin - I think it might be reasonable to put a conditional in there. What
about


if test -d .hg; then
  use_git=false
  GNULIB_SRCDIR=gnulib
fi


This should have zero effect on everyone currently working on Octave with hg.

This will affect anyone that was downloading a snapshot of the Octave sources
and was expecting ./bootstrap to look for an existing gnulib in the current
directory, with this change it would instead use git to pull the latest gnulib
from savannah. I expect the number of people working with Octave this way to
be close to zero.
