           Summary: Files .cvsignore'd but in the repository, some of them
                    necessary to bootstrap
           Product: RTEMS
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: build
        AssignedTo: ralf.corsepius at rtems.org
        ReportedBy: peerst at gmail.com


There are the following files contained in the CVS (HEAD) but .cvsignore files
say they should be ignored.

At least some of them result in errors during "bootstrap" run if they are
missing

I'm trying to track my changes in a VCS locally and ignoring all files
.cvsignore tells me to ignore results in problems with "bootstrap" that don't
occur when these files are present.

If these files are missing (which they are if I'm ignoring everything
.cvsignore ignores), instead of the usual messages that only mention something
being "installed" or m4 files being unchanged:

$ ./bootstrap -p 

runs normal ...

>From here it looks normal again.

I don't know if these messages can be ignored but they don't make me confident.

BTW: I'm running

triton:/usr/home/peer $ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.11.1
triton:/usr/home/peer $ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.65
