bootstrap: remove more dangling symlinks


From: Jim Meyering
Subject: bootstrap: remove more dangling symlinks
Date: Thu, 03 Apr 2008 00:19:46 +0200

FYI, I've just pushed the following.  I was tempted to remove all
dangling symlinks, or all in any gnulib-managed directory, but that
seemed a little too broad.  Since I've been regularly distracted by
errors involving dangling *.[ch] files in lib/, I've limited it to those.
We can always enlarge the set later, if needed.

        bootstrap: remove dangling *.[ch] symlinks from lib
        * build-aux/bootstrap [dangling symlink removal]: Move find's
        -depth option to precede all others, to avoid a warning.
        Remove *.[ch] files too, and from "$source_base" (usually lib/).

 # The following requires GNU find 4.2.3 or newer.  Considering the usual
 # portability constraints of this script, that may seem a very demanding
 # requirement, but it should be ok.  Ignore any failure, which is fine,
 # since this is only a convenience to help developers avoid the relatively
 # unusual case in which a symlinked-to .m4 file is git-removed from gnulib
 # between successive runs of this script.

 # Reconfigure, getting other files.
