Yes, it has been sent upstream, but the author won't take it, as he is also the author of toc, the original build system. I tried half a day to get toc working, without success. Even if I got it to work, it would unlikely have worked and picked the correct compiler flags etc. for any architecture I don't own (i.e. everything but x86). So it seemed far less work to just drop in autotools scripts. And autotool is working and maintained for pretty much all architectures fedora supports, so it seems to me that with autotools build scripts, I will have a better chance of getting the packages to compile and run on other architectures as well. See the similar discussion on: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438587 BTW: I do not intend to actually fork the project source code, just replace the build system, as it proved unworkable for me. I will send source code changes upstream, and the author will apply them. He's just not keen on replacing the build system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
