Some of our targets use "bison --help", but they can't depend on
"bison" itself (to avoid additional requirements on the user), so
they used to call "make src/bison" in the commands. Then
concurrent builds may fail: one make might be aiming one of its
jobs at compiling src/bison, and another job at generating the man
page. If the latter is faster than the former, then we have two
makes that concurrently try to compile src/bison.
This might also be a more convincing explanation for the failure
described in the patch "build: fix paths".
* Makefile.am (SUFFIXES): Initialize.
* build-aux/move-if-change: New, symlink to gnulib's.
* build-aux/local.mk: Ship it.
* doc/common.x: Remove, merged into...
* doc/bison.x: here.
* doc/local.mk (doc/bison.help): New.
($(CROSS_OPTIONS_TEXI)): Depend on it.
Use src/bison.
(.x.1): Replace with...
(doc/bison.1): this explicit, simpler, target.
(common_dep): Remove, inlined where appropriate.
(SUFFIXES, PREPATH): Remove, unused.
* .cvsignore (.tarball-version, GNUmakefile, *~): Add.
* .gitignore (/.tarball-version, /GNUmakefile, /*~): Add.
* .prev-version: New.
* .version.in: Remove.
* ChangeLog: Remove the $Id$ previously used for capturing the CVS
revision.
* GNUmakefile: Remove, now copied from Gnulib.
* Makefile.am: Add code suggested by comments in
build-aux/git-version-gen.
(EXTRA_DIST): Remove GNUmakefile, handled by Gnulib. Add maint.mk,
.prev-version, and .version.
* NEWS (2.3b+): Rename to...
(?.?): ... this because we're dropping the "+" version naming scheme,
but, in general, we still can't be sure of our next release name.
* bootstrap: Add a quick hack to remove from .gitignore the
GNUmakefile entry that gnulib adds. We already have a /GNUmakefile
entry. This should really be fixed in gnulib instead.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnumakefile.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set version name by invoking
build-aux/git-version-gen.
(AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove .version, now generated by
build-aux/git-version-gen.
* maint.mk: New, copied from coreutils.
* doc/.cvsignore (bison.1): Add.
* doc/.gitignore (/bison.1): Add.
* doc/bison.1: Remove, generated.
* src/.cvsignore (revision.c): Remove.
* src/.gitignore (/revision.c): Remove.
* src/Makefile.am (bison_SOURCES): Remove revision.c and revision.h.
(BUILT_SOURCES): Remove revision.c.
(revision.c): Remove.
* src/getargs.c (version): Don't print revision after the VERSION.
* src/revision.h: Remove.
