-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've noticed that after using either gnulib-tool (such as in m4 or findutils) or bootstrap (in coreutils), when symlinks are used instead of copies, that the deletion of a file in gnulib leaves a broken symlink in the tree. In the worst case, when a .m4 file is left dangling, it breaks the autoreconf of the directory, because autoreconf refuses to proceed in the face of a broken symlink.
For findutils, I recently added a patch to the import-gnulib.sh script to call 'find -L -lname '*' -delete' after the fact (yes, this is GNU find specific, but does the job of deleting all broken symlinks). But it would be better if gnulib-tool and bootstrap were taught to do this instead. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
