It is not completely the same situation like with automake, but
gnulib-origin files are causing similar problems [1].

Taking into account the package relies on some gnulib files in question
itself (not via libtool), the package should still be easily autoreconfed
from distributed tarballs with (relatively) safe command
'autoreconf -vfi'.

However now (a) libtoolize removes gnulib files and (b) build machine (or
the user) may have no idea what gnulib is when working with 'make dist'ed
tarball.  If there is no reason for current libtoolize to install those
files, the patch attached could help.  That is not a solution for
"upgrade" cleanup but can there be other safe solution?

Also, I'm not sure what to do with 'argz.m4'.  That file can be updated by
package maintainer via gnulib-tool, however libtool (via autoreconf -vfi
e.g.) can overwrite it with older version of this file.  That however does
not break the build, at least not now.

Subject: [PATCH] libtoolize: do not remove gnulib files with --force

That caused build failure after relatively safe 'autoreconf -fi'
run in a project depending on those files because libtoolize
removed those files unconditionally but was not able to re-install
them back.  Keeping those in place seems to be more safe.

Hi Pavel,

Sorry the lists are being slow this weekend :(

I agree with your patch though, and pushed it just now.  Thank you!

I wrote argz.m4 for libtool, and later contributed it back to gnulib.  =
Ideally,
libtool would just use gnulib's argz module, but doing so pulls in an =
insane
amount of cruft (including the various snippet files) that I don't want =
to
have to teach libtoolize to manage - that's why I gave up on trying to =
gnulibize
libltdl, and why we had some interim releases of libtoolize fighting =
with
gnulib-tool over who owns the snippet files :)

A better solution would be to fork libtool's argz.m4 by moving it into =
the
LT_ namespace so it doesn't conflict with any gnulib version used by the =
parent
project.  Bleh!

Cheers,
