I looked at this PR. Why do you want this change? Right now if you write: AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = subdir-objects bin_PROGRAMS = wish wish_SOURCES = generic/a.c generic/b.c ... you end up with `.deps/generic/a.Po'. The PR asks for `generic/.deps/a.Po'. Does it make a difference? As I recall the reason things are done this way is that it is a little faster to compute the .Po file name when we don't have to change the directories. On the other hand, changing this might let us have `..' path components. I don't see that as a very high priority, but I'd welcome a patch. Tom
