>.SH "DESCRIPTION"
>The \fBgnuconfig\fR eclass is used to automatically update files that typically
>come with automake to the newest version available on the system. The most 
>common use of this is to update config.guess and config.sub when configure dies
>from misguessing your canonical system name (CHOST). It can also be used to 
>update other files that come with automake, e.g. depcomp, mkinstalldirs, etc.

>If called without arguments, config.guess and config.sub will be updated.  All
>files in the source tree (\fB${S}\fR) with the given name(s) will be replaced with the
>newest available versions.  This function is usually called from \fIsrc_unpack\fR.

Aaron, thanks for the man page-
Mike, unless you'd rather pick them off yourself, qualms if we assign them to you?

gnuconfig.eclass.5

probably should've created a new attachment instead of editing the existing
one...
Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-10-07 20:49:48 UTC
the idea is to integrate this with portage so that it'll never have to be used ;)
