`make distcheck` error #948

Closed alejandro-colomar closed 5 months ago

I tried running make distcheck while preparing the tarball for 4.14.4, but it failed:

And here's the relevant history:

 2032  git status
 2033  git clean -dffx
 2034  ./autogen.sh 
 2035  make dist
 2036  make distcheck

@hallyn , does make distcheck work for you? Can you reproduce this problem?

alejandro-colomar commented 7 months ago

To be clear, make dist works just fine. It's only distcheck that is problematic.

jubalh commented 6 months ago

I followed the steps you described and I get the same result: /bin/sh: 7: cannot create chage.1.xml.out: Permission denied.

hallyn commented 6 months ago

Hm, yeah, same here. Making a note to look a this, thanks.

hallyn commented 5 months ago

Looks like it's mostly fallout from recent changes in the manpage translation handling.

I'll hopefully have a patch in a bit.
