Sorry if my words were poorly chosen, but my point was not about listing
what is acceptable or transforming the GCS in a tutorial. What I mean
is that when I read:
"Don't allow any part of the build or configure process to open a
network connection in order to download files remotely"
I am confused about knowing if this extends implicitly to the
"pre-configure" process. In that regard, it can let readers think that
the usage of Gnulib 'bootstrap' script is not compliant with the GCS.
Ok. How about appending this clarification:"This restriction does not apply to pre-configuration scripts or programs intended for use only by developers of the package." -- PGP Public key ID: 1024D/2DE827B3 fingerprint = 8797 A26D 0854 2EAB 0285 A290 8A67 719C 2DE8 27B3 See http://sks-keyservers.net or any PGP keyserver for public key.
