I notice that Debian recently [since July 2014] started to recommend that packagers run autoreconf on build. Their reasons are given here and seem to be good ones: https://wiki.debian.org/Autoreconf In the interests of fairness I can think of two drawbacks too: - newer versions of (especially) automake have not always been improvements, and some upstreams may wish to stick with older ones - autoreconf is slow Debian have probably hit most of the bugs by now, and I think this is a good recommendation that perhaps Fedora packagers should be encouraged to follow too. What do you think?
