Hi,

Vivien Kraus <vivien <at> planete-kraus.eu> skribis:

Applied with tweaks to the commit log.

This leaves the shebang on ‘bin/gnulib-tool’, such that ‘gnulib’ keeps a
reference to ‘bash-minimal’ (and nothing else).

It’s not even convenient though because…

[...]

> +                 "sh $gnulib_tool $gnulib_tool_options"))

… this is still needed: GNULIB/bin/gnulib-tool, which has a correct
shebang, is *not* used, and instead GNULIB/src/gnulib/gnulib-tool is
used.

Should we remove GNULIB/bin/gnulib-tool?  Or should we remove the other
one?

Anyway, applied as well, thank you!

Ludo’.
