Subject: maint.mk: remove overquotation in ‘announcement’ rule
X-Git-Tag: v2.72.90~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7c62a0cda22d4ad98c53237d45f2ee445498f6d1;p=thirdparty%2Fautoconf.git

maint.mk: remove overquotation in ‘announcement’ rule

If $(bootstrap-tools) *doesn’t* include “gnulib”, a nested shell
command is supposed to expand to nothing, but instead it expands to
an empty argument, causing announce-gen to barf.
