Re: master bdb13a0e5c5 1/2: Adjust to Gnulib’s recent module renaming

[Eli Zaretskii]

Paul,

Is there any chance to enhance admin/merge-gnulib so that if the
import renames some Gnulib modules, the renaming will be reflected in
nt/gnulib-cfg.mk?  Currently, such renaming needs to be caught in time
by someone who knows about nt/gnulib-cfg.mk, and then the
corresponding renames manually repeated there.  This is error-prone
and relies on approximately one person we have on board who knows
about these subtleties to pay attention.  Automation would go a long
way towards eliminating many issues due to such renaming.

There's also a similar problem with adding new modules.  Here, we need
a judgment call by an Emacs developer who is familiar with the w32
code, so I don't see how this could be automated.  However, sending a
heads-up email to this list by admin/merge-gnulib, if that is
feasible, could be a good-enough solution.

Can these enhancements be done, please?
