List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:4691 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:4691 i suggest we write that script, include "chmod +w $cannot_be_ro_file_list", and publish the way to build emacs from cvs as: cvs checkout ... cd emacs sh -x prep-bootstrap # ("-x" for entertainment purposes :-) make bootstrap Why not put those preparations into the `bootstrap' target in Makefile? That target is meant for use on a CVS checkout, and these chmods do no harm there. Would you like to write the appropriate command and add it to Makefile.in?
