After some discussion on fedora-devel, I'd say "not yet". While I do think it's appropriate to steer packagers toward patching configure and Makefile.in for trivial cases, I'm coming around to the notion that for more complex cases the prose should restrict itself to being informational. But I continue to think that certain invocations of the tools should be practically forbidden. ("autoreconf -f", I'm looking at you.) I'll ping back here when I think it's ready. -- Braden McDaniel e-mail: <braden@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> <http://endoframe.com> Jabber: <braden@xxxxxxxxxx> -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
