Why would you do this? The changelog is completely empty, and
this seems to be far more complex than the nice and clean
Makefile it replaces, and it adds dependencies on a number
of new tools.
Hi Arnd,
The ChangeLog is there because the file is checked by the autconf
tools. It is empty right now but I guess we can fill it later.
The same for NEW and AUTHORS.
You are right about adding dependencies on a new tools, but as far as I
know the projects usually use the configure tools, so in case of
development they should be present on the system. The advantage of using
these tools is we can easily cross compile with the --host option and we
can check the presence of the needed packages like libncurses-dev.
About the nice Makefile, we have the Makefile.am which is easy and nice
enough. We don't have to check the dependencies as it is automatically
generated by automake.
