I just released libretools 20160208 to [libre], and pushed the source tarball
to <https://repo.parabola.nu/other/libretools/>.
It's a pretty boring release, change-wise; it's mostly to work with
the new version of pacman.
Changes from 20150607 to 20160208:
* libremakepkg: Work with pacman 5.0
* librefetch: Work with pacman 5.0
* xbs-abslibre: Bug fixes
* Documentation:
* The libreblacklist manpage said libremessages in some places
* Added librexgettext(1) manpage
* $(bindir)/libre* and $(pkglibexecdir)/*.sh are no longer the same
file. The one in bin sources the one in lib. This shouldn't
affect anybody.
* The Makefiles have been almost entirely rewritten.
From a technical standpoint, the Makefiles is the most interesting. I
wrote an "automake-like" system for GNU make that gives us a lot for
"free". Easy non-recursive make, `dist` support, all of the standard
`clean` targets. So that means that I'm actually producing
distribution tarballs now, instead of using snapshots from cgit.
