Indeed, it would.  To do it nicely would take some shell script hackery
that I have not taken the time to seriously think about (especially the
bit about making it play nice with automake, which is what we would need
to do to make it elegant).

Having the live root file system mounted somewhere other than / is a bit
non-sequitorial to me -- can you flesh out your scenario a bit more?

I would really rather avoid perl if we can.  Any idea how other projects
solve this (if they even try)?  It seems like a common enough
requirement that the autotools probably have some sort of evil hack that
implements it.

Argh, sorry for the noise.

It's actually a deb packaging helper tool, that transforms absolute
symlinks to relative symlinks to follow the Debian policy.

Not quite release 1.1.1

At this point, the only thing missing is a bit more documentation
(mainly code comments), and the manpage updates that Michael was working
on.  The patches that have been pushed to master have been good ones
that only needed a bit of rework.

Given those and a bit of testing, and I am ready to call it 1.1.1,
assuming there are some burning features and bugfixes that I missed over
the last month.

Do you know which one?  Is it stealable?

damn typos.  That should be "no burning features" instead of "some
burning features".

Definitely understandable to avoid the perl, but I can't recall having
seen this anywhere referenced in the autotools. Here's something I
wrote as an RPM macro before I stumbled on the above perl. The
formatting blows due to macro-izing it, and there are no comments, but
maybe it will give you some ideas. It worked on most of the corner

Assuming no large objections crop up, 1.1.1 will release on Saturday,
May 10. 

Please hold off on any large pushes to fd.o master for now.  Small
patches, bugfixes, documentation updates, etc. are fine as long as the
commit message is descriptive.
