I am rather new on the list, so I might have missed some old postings
that covered these questions.
I am trying to take a SW package managed with CVS upstream and make
local changes using tla for my own work. The package is configured and
built using automake.
I would like to use tagline as the tagging-method, ala miles-emacs.
Ideally I would be able to convince upstream to include them so I can
track them easier.
Regarding tagging and taglines:
- It seems rather silly that m4 comments don't work for tag-lines:
'dnl arch-tag: my tag' does nothing for 'tla inventory --tags'.
Is this (being) fixed?
- I am somewhat struggling with what files to put a tag line in. Does
anyone have any insights on this? Automake forces quite some extra
files to exist (AUTHORS, NEWS, ChangeLog, etc). Putting tag-lines in
them isn't really a problem, but it will make them look different from
the corresponding files of other packages. There are also some files
that have a prescribed format (e.g. Debian changelog files) where a
tag-line wouldn't be acceptable, should such files be added manually
instead?
- Should directories be added explicitly when using tag-lines?
- When using Automake during development quite a few files are generated
among the sourcefiles from running auto{header,make,conf} and
libtoolize. Has anyone written some nice regexps to handle this,
rather irritating behaviour?
/M
BTW I am using tla 1.0.6 from Debian unstable.
