You and some other people are defending this from the beginning of this thread but no one explained what else might change. If I patch configure.ac and Makefile.am, then run autotools and build the RPM package that way, what else might go in unnoticed?
Why are you asking me? I'm the one arguing against patching configure.ac and Makefile.am and rerunning autotools.
Please back up your claims. I do not have much knowledge to make claims in either direction but I am willing to learn.
You can start by reading this thread, again.
