Is this because of the change to bfd/development.sh ?
I was told that that file should not be changed in the repository, only
in the released sources. I am guessing however that you do not agree.
I am not sure of the best way to proceed from here however. The
development flag needs to remain set to false on the git branch but true
in the release tarballs. Is there any way to achieve this and not cause
problems with later patching ?
Cheers
Nick
