No, it makes a lot of sense for a source based distro like gentoo. Say I patch configure.ac and regenerate configure. When I push those changes out, every mailutils using gentoo user will patch his configure.ac and regenerate his own configure script. Currently, mailutils uses autotools but fails to autoreconf without providing a convenient way to regenerate autotools scripts. Autoreconf does the same job as various bootstrap scripts (bootstrap, autogen etc) but does it in a standard way and without a need to maintain a separate script. -- Eray Aslan <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Bug-mailutils mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-mailutils
