But all the original macros are actually present and shipped with the source (or are obtained from some version of the Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool packages), and I think that failure to regenerate the configure machinery with current Autotools would constitute a bug. The difference with waf is that the sources aren't included and aren't easily obtainable via another package in Debian one can build-depend on. I'm converting all of my packages to use dh-autoreconf so that I can detect such bugs. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
