Could someone detail just how things get broken and what things we should be looking out for? I'm reviewing a package now (aplus-fsf, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=174021) that patches Makefile.am files all over the place and then calls the autotools. This is a really old piece of software but once massaged a bit it puts everything in the proper places and runs fine. I don't see any problem with what it's doing, and I don't understand why it would be any better to do a bunch of hacking just to avoid calling the autotools. - J< -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
