Because eventually we all (distros) have to go through it. So, if autotools handled this gracefully, I and everyone else would have a configure.ac file and Makefile.am that just does the right thing. So, I am faced with making an announcement on my project's mail list that maintainer on other distros have to do this hack because autotools is incapable of doing the right thing. There is no migration plan for autotools. We could have got in front of this and helped make it smooth. My package is now built in rawhide thanks to your patch. Fedora is OK. I just worry about bug reports rolling in on other distros upstream. -Steve _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
