That somehow sounds like whining. I do not think it was never proposed for inclusion but was just offered as a friendly "somebody else might find it useful". In any case, I have two issues, but one non-issue first. I am not opposed to including install-sh that is maintained somewhere upstream and GPLv2 compatible. - I do not particularly like to have too many autoconf related cruft at the toplevel, and I am wondering if we can move it to say compat/install-sh. - I suspect this fall-back would set "INSTALL = ./install-sh" (if you have it in compat, "INSTALL = compat/install-sh"). I wonder if it breaks builds in subdirectories (i.e. Documentation/ and templates/). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
