This pull request is to remove a lock on Libtool used by Amanda during build process. Amanda uses GNU Autotools (Autoconf, Automake and Libtool) for portable builds. Libtool is currently locked at version 2.4.6 and is tracked by Git. It is in good practice to ignore the files generated by Autotools while checking the code into any version control system.
Changes Made
.gitignore
configure.ac
libtoolize
during./autogen
to regenerate these filesDEVELOPING
as it is now system-dependentI also added a
.gitignore
file to each directory to ignore Amanda's distribution files such that the ignore file in the root of the project contains a list of files based on the Operating System, VCS, Tools and Frameworks and IDEs used. The inner directories contain an ignore file with the distribution files generated in the respective directory,.Testing Done
I've tested the changes for build and install on CentOS 7, Rocky Linux 9 and Fedora 37.
